Ryan writes: "It's the narrative that makes Omori something special; subtlety being an important part of good storytelling."
The PlayStation Brahs:
"Omori is an incredible game, it is one of the most charming, heartwarming, terrifying, and saddest games I have ever played. It’s a game that captures my imagination, and is an experience best enjoyed by going in knowing nothing."
First announced for consoles during a Nintendo Indie World showcase, the very well-regarded PC indie game Omori has been confirmed for a PS4 release later this week. It's out on 17th June 2022, and is described as a horror RPG where it's your job to "explore a strange world full of colorful friends and foes".
If I am not mistaken, this game is similar to Earthbound. I heard good things about it.
Just watched someone's overview of a bunch of Earthbound/Undertale-esque titles, and this was one of them.
These are those sort of games I know I would enjoy, but am only ever aware of the really popular ones.
If this came up on Gamepass a few days earlier I definitely would have given it a shot, but I already know of all the insane directions the story takes. Definitely worthwhile for people who don't know about the game.
Pre-ordered this months ago for Switch. It says after July 1 it will be shipping out.
