Omori presents as a cheerful RPG and then spends thirty hours carefully dismantling that impression. The trauma at its core is handled with more seriousness and precision than most games that centre their entire identity on it. The horror sections hit differently once you understand what the dream logic is actually concealing. It missed the top ten because the turn-based RPG structure dilutes the purity of the psychological horror experience, but the emotional devastation in the final acts is real and it stays with you.

Overview
About OMORI
A turn-based surreal horror RPG in which a child traverses various mundane, quirky, humourous, mysterious and horrific lands with his friends in search of a missing person while confronting his past and his fears. Explore a strange world full of colorful friends and foes. When the time comes, the path you’ve chosen will determine your fate... and perhaps the fate of others as well.
Story setup
Welcome to WHITE SPACE.
Your name is OMORI, and you've been living here for as long as you can remember.
Everything is bright white. There aren't any walls.
A black light bulb hangs from the ceiling… wherever that is.
The floor is always cold. You don't mind, though.
You have a blanket, a laptop, a cat, a sketchbook, and your tissue box.
You have everything you need.
Sometimes a white door presents itself to you. Enter, and you'll find yourself in a perfect world.
One filled with colorful characters, endless adventure... and most importantly, your friends.
It used to be that the door would only appear on certain days...
But now it's always there.
Somewhere in the back of your mind you have an inkling that things weren't always like this.
You weren't always living in WHITE SPACE.
The truth is...
Your story is already over. You just have to remember it.
