Omori, a surreal experience of a game that dives deep unto reality and is much different like any other, influenced alot but influenced by a little. a project since 2011, which got everyone wondering, “Why?” and “How?” made and lead by Omocat, a artist who’s life dream is to be recognized, they started art when they were 7-10 years old in school, their likings of art, got them indeed bullied. she wouldve been considered as the “artist of the entire school” which the OMORI journey first started. Please be aware that im not gonna speak about any “too much” dark topics to condones TapTaps rules. and also, SPOLIERS AHEAD!
this documentary will look over: Storyline, Musical soundtrack, Graphical, Graphical Interface, RPG/ Battle System, Development, pros  and cons.
  1. Development
    as mentioned earlier, omocat started as a artist that was known in a good or bad way, her art and likings got her bullied in school, what did she like?: well anime, and what any other anime fan likes? going to the land of japan. which in fact, got her bullied. but she always thought to herself: “Why get into therapy, when YOUR art could be therapy”? she started omori after that hearing. Omori was first to begin as a novel blog post, each day omocat would post and draw and post news and draw, which got the many attention of the others. her art was aesthetically pleasing and cool to see from alot of people that related to the storylines of the only character in this novel blog post: Sunny, or omori. during that time when she was gaining fame from a other and a other, she decided that she’s gonna make a game out of it. the games name? Omori. omori first started in 2011 as a “small, kickstarter project” and omocat first started with her only working in the project, later on she would invite more friends, and later they decided to brand up as a single indie company, OmoCat. yes, her name was decided to be the company’s name. it wasn’t long after omocat realized: she didn’t know anything about programming, so she went on to contact a friend that develops, and then asks them: “what game creator do you suggest?” and that was RPG maker. RPG maker is a short- simple RPG game machine that mostly doesn’t require programming.  it was decided to be RPG Maker MV. during the development process of the game, RPG maker had a rough update that literally deleted half of whatever omocat was doing, this was devasting.
  2. Scandals about Omocat
    after this devasting action, many people thought that omocat was just lying, she wasn’t really making a game after taking lots of lots of years,and that the public was getting mad of her, many people even went from insults to, straight up slurs. the development wasn’t gonna end anytime soon, in 2017 Omocat made a post saying that the possible beta/alpha could be released in this year or either 2018. the beta was… pretty alright, there was also prerelease screenshots made by Omocat and it got back the public trust. after 2 years from 2018, in 2020 the game was finally released. In december 25, 2020 omocat and her friends finally released the game to steam now. but there was more scandals to know, the japanese public was pretty mad about this since they didn’t even get a japanese port, to consider the fact that the japanese press was half of omocat popularity. but a year later, the Japanese finally got a port of their own.
  3. Is finally releasing?
    the public in fact, did not believe this, they thought that omocat was just gonna say that it was a beta or prerelease. but it was actually real, the entire game has released. when this was released, Omori not only trended but got in top trending in twitter, youtube, and twitch.the 9 years wait was finally over, and the game was actually, pretty good?? the public was impressed by how a girl and her other friends that were mostly only influenced by music and drawing, made such a great game. the game mainly focused on RPG and is dark storyline, the rpg had a interesting battle system that includes Sunny/Omori and his other friends (Kel, Mari, hero, and Aubrey) fighting monsters when having a “emotional system” when you have to control your characters from Depressed, Sad, Happy, Normal, Fine, and a other emotion that i can’t speak about to condone TapTaps Rules.  it quickly trended as one of the “better stereotypical” RPG games with a actual storyline. to mention that the storyline was alleged 20-21 hours, the game was pretty time taking and rough to play, the Nintendo switch version finally released during on june 17 of 2022, alongside Xbox one. the game’s nintendo switch port is considered the most famous- since people play it “portably “ and is easy to play it fully with the time you have. by this era, alot of mods like Kelomori or any other was releasing, ones that considerably was happy, ones that was just RPG focused, ones that was just… a mod, no explaining.
  4. Music/ Sound- how to Identify omori, without identifying it
    Omocat, and her other friends as i said recently= liked music and art alot. but music was just a other great profession, they met up with a musical professional artist named Bo En, which allowed for them to take his indie song “My Time” in their soundtrack, the games soundtrack has a 179 (if im wronged please correct me.) the game, was identifiable literally because of is regularly same topic of music, but how that much songs are in their soundtrack, if you have listened to some of them, a other song you didn’t listen to might be identifiable. the music is mostly comfy, and meaningful, with some having either joyous or dark themes. the soundtrack is creditable for is far range of varieties, and alot of themes considering of what state are you in the game, currently. like Duet that includes you, the player as Sunny playing a “duet” with his sister, Mari. Mari plays the piano while Sunny plays the violin. the song may refer to alot of dark topics, including some iam not allowed to speak about, this which leads us to the storyline.
  5. Storyline
    the storyline, begins with you as Sunny, a depressed Hikkomori that has his alter ego in another universe, Omori. sunny’s life doesn’t go well, with his parents arguing almost always, his sister Mari is mostly protective of him and tries to give him a alright life, Mari always takes care of Sunny whenever he’s feeling depressed, Mari would later on meet her LOML, Hero. Hero also takes care of sunny, giving mari abit of help, not only that but Kel, was also neighbors of Sunny. so mari and sunny both became great friends with Kel, a enthusiastic yet annoying friend that likes Basketball and orange juice, mostly orange juice. Hero and sometimes with mari would cook for Sunny, and Kel, just as like parents and kids. later on they wouldve also met aubrey, which introduced them to Basil. they met aubrey when she was crying in the nearby street because she can’t find her shoe, they helped her find her shoe and later became good friends. Aubrey grew up to have a so called “gang” known to the player as the: “Aubrey Gang” or the HOOLIGANS. they consist of Kim, Vance, Angel, Charlene and the MAVERICK. aubrey is usually violent, almost always having a baseball bat in a hand or a two. she always beats up kel because of how annoying he is to her. Aubrey was actually also the reason why omori plays the violin, which could be dated to the very death of mari. Mari died after a brutal incident of being pushed down the huge staircase by Omori, after a arugement and omori threw down his violin, it was rumored or theorized that mari would’ve survived if she didn’t fell down the violin. but to cover  Maris death, basil was forced to do something, and disguised her death into a very, dark topic that iam not allowed to talk about to condone tapTaps rules. from this on, i will introduce the many other characters.
    KEL
    a enthusiasm filled egoistical kid, he always thought he was better than anyone in his youth, also challenging other to ball or just literal normal fights, he used to be a athlete, scoring half courts all far and far, he hates romance, thinking is gross and just not worth his time. Meeting aubrey, he always fought with her, making jokes about her and her HOOLIGAN GANG. he has an  insanely good bound with his brother, HERO, which he looks up to as a good guy.
    ”Thought he’s got an impulsive and competitive streak, KEL Is an ever loyal companion. you can count on his athletic talent and his dexterity with a ball to knock down foes. he holds his pet rock HECTOR dearly.” his birthday is in November 11, he likes Sports, Milk, Photobombing, HECTOR and digging in the trash. on the other hand, he hates Pickles, cooties, and thinking too hard.
  6. AUBREY
    Leader of the Hooligans GANG and their stupidity,  she dried her hair and brought a baseball bat in order to get such a title, she always used to pick on basil, with Kim assisting in the “picking”. Aubrey and her hatred to basil always ends when he goes missing, she becomes most anxious and wonder if she did something way too bad. Aubrey, is considered a good and caring girl, which always loves to play with her friends, or later noticed as the HOOLIGANS.her birthday is in May 23, she likes MR PLANTEGG< watermelon, crayons and bunnies. she hates Mean people, bitter melon, immature pranks and.. Kel.
    ”The sweet and strong-welled AUBREY stands up for her friends in battle and is their constant source of morale. she carries MR PLANTEGG, her plushie friend and WEAPON of choice, wherever she’s goes.”

    the other reasons why i did not mention any other characters since, on the other focuses of this documentary, there is alot of information stored already. since this documentary is getting way too long, im gonna end this with General information.

This is an RPG that combines turn-based combat, slice-of-life elements & an anime-inspired art style
As soon as I  watched the trailer of this game it made me excited because it looks so cool and the characters look so powerful and amazing. The game brings so much fun and you will never get bored playing this one. When I heard about this game I immediately suggested it to my friends since we both love this type of game, I love this game and it's so fun. The graphics are also amazing.

This game is an anime with a storyline
I like this game, I like the anime characters, they are cute. I like the conversations, I feel like I am the character in this game. You can experience here traveling to a place and I will write about what I had an experience with her. The only thing I don't like about the game is that you have nothing else to do but just tap what you say. The graphics of this game are beautiful, which is one of my favorites.

Games to try if you liked Omori! (Read optional description, some games need them.)
Huge major warning:, there was alot of games that are not in the libary, ill try to cover them or get them included into taptap (games like yandere sim, undertale, earthbound, school of 09). Second warning, iam not in authroity for anything that happend= like jumpscares, as i already mentioned these games are not the best to tackle with. third, iam not hired by any of these games to promote them, iam listing this out since people has said this in a other article i made on a different app about “Chinese parents” giving a feeling that it doesnt look like OMORI at all. four: if you have enjoyed this but some topics made you unsatisfied (like some games not being the exceptations i listed) Please comment down your review so i could get helped by it/ and you can give people a other chance to rethink. Thank You. (smaller warnings, the reason with that typ on chinese parents aka daywith, is because of the word limit.)
