About this game
OMORI follows a group of friends searching for Basil through a dreamlike world. You explore unfamiliar places and fight creatures by selecting actions from a menu. Battles revolve around more than choosing an attack: happy, angry and sad states form a triangle of advantages, and abilities can change the emotions of both friends and foes. The search leads beyond its opening forest, while the broader story moves between real-world locations and a nightmarish mental world. Your chosen path affects how events resolve. Exploration, command-based combat and consequential choices form the adventure, with psychological horror and depictions of distress running alongside its friendship-centered setup.

A fit for players drawn to unsettling stories and battles shaped by emotional states.

- Choices that affect the outcome can give narrative decisions weight for players invested in the characters.
Who it is for: Players interested in psychological horror who also enjoy considering status relationships in turn-based combat.
Play notes: Includes depictions of anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicide.
