Omori

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- This was by far the most emotion any game managed to squeeze out of me. Play it unless you are uncomfortable with themes like depression and suicide.
- The fights are ok, with emotions acting like rock-paper-scissors of the world. For the most part the game is quite easy, but it has a lot memorable dialogue, designs (Sweetheart is the best) and music (Go back is my favorite).
- a really wild ride. Insanely creative and beautiful game. [...] The story was good enough to keep me going although it was really the soundtrack, cutscenes, animations, backgrounds, and everything else packed in the art style that kept m...
- Omori is the one game I love but will never recommend simply because it's up there as one of the most tragic and devastating games of all time.
- Omori and Undertale are some exceptions for sure, but playing Omori the whole time I was thinking "yeah, I get it".
Cons
- On my way to finish Omori.
- I'll soon resume my Omori playthrough once PC comes back. Stupid lack of cloud saves
- The twist (and everything after) was indeed very interesting, but I feel like the prior themes and relatability got sacrificed in the process.
- It did not click with me but I think they did a great job setting up atmosphere and emotion throughout.

I agree, Omori is a great game that more people should play
