This is a surreal psychological horror RPG Maker game that was successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2014. Explore a strange world full of colorful friends and foes. Navigate through the vibrant and the mundane in order to uncover a forgotten past. When the time comes, the path you’ve chosen will determine your fate... and perhaps the fate of others as well. The game is based around several previous works by OMOCAT, including OMORI'S BLOG, OMORI'S STORY, OMORI's SKETCHBOOK, and an unfinished graphic novel. The game focuses on OMORI, a depressed young boy, going on adventures with his friends and helping others in the world. He wonders why his friends would want to be with someone horrible like him, but OMORI recalls a time when he was not like this. He also seems to have forgotten something... or someone... very important. It's heavily inspired by the Mother series, specifically EarthBound and Mother 3. It has been noted that it could also be inspired by Yume Nikki, another independent horror RPGMaker game. The art direction combines pixel art with hand-drawn art. The overworld and its characters are represented with pixel art while enemy battles, images of items, and important cut scenes are represented with hand-drawn illustrations. |
