playing omori is legit like. a worse version of any yume nikki fangame. the game design is so poor and considering how long it took to even come out, with allegations the creator used the kickstarter money for personal purchases… it’s kind of insane and inexcusable how bad it is. idc how much you like the story if it takes 25 miserable hours to get there!!

EXACTLYYY and honestly playing through it, it felt so... passionless. I think its kind of obvious that omocat only expected to have a few backers instead of the kick-starter blowing up and overfunding her rpgmaker game.

For some comparison:

Undertale : USD$51,124 kickstarter budget, took 2 years to release

Hollow Knight: A$57,000 kickstarter budget, took 3 years to release

Omori: USD$203,300 kickstarter budget, took SEVEN years to release

It was a known fact before omoris release that omocat took the money and spent it on their clothing line and shop (in fact one of the promos for their shop opening was that visitors would get to play a demo for omori, which enraged the kickstarter backers who had been left in radio silence for years and were apparently not even going to be able to play the demo unless they went to the shop, and then the demo was released on a fucking dropbox link.) And for a while a bunch of backers fully believed they had been scammed. Plus one of the funding goals was to make omori available for the 3ds, which not only is impossible for the rpgmaker engine, but also by the time the game released the 3ds was defunct.

And you know, maybe its just because omocat is an artist who didn't really know much about game design. Maybe that's why it got so messy. Sure! It could be that! But even then, by art standards, omori lacks A LOT. only the main characters get to have face portraits despite there being many reocurring relevant characters both in dream and real world, and ALL the main characters have the same head and bangs like they were made on a fucking picrew. The monsters and npc designs were absurdly lacking (like come on look at the sprout moles) and as much they bragged about slime girls composing the ost it was actually pretty damn mediocre. The pixel art too, for the most of the dream world its repeated assets over and over (the forest is SO ugly with all the reused trees) when it's not referencing yume nikki imagery

Also sorry but i have to mention again how hideous the forest areas look with the same trees copypasted everywhere. Like damn dude at least change the colors a little.

Not to mention the gorgeously made pixel part with that mspaint spray effect (its ugly. Im saying its ugly. What the fuck is this dithering.)

And the funny thing is that the (real world) story is actually pretty solid for a horror game. But in order to experience it you have to sit through extremely cringy, annoying and excessive dialogue written by adults who don't really know how kids talk and interact with each other. The dream world segments take up 80% of the game and every single arc in it SUCKS. They're overdragged, uninteresting, unfunny and obnoxious. But haha look if you do this you get a jumpscare! Isn't this game so deep????

And after omori got released it feels like you just can't do creepy cute things anymore without being compared to it. Its tiring 😑 fuck poomori

watching the flawpeacock vid slowly aand its making me realize how much of this game's mystery is STILL there to be unsolved. i played the game, found a mystery, slowly uncovered it, i finished it and thought i got a preddy good grasp of it and now watching this vvideo im like. Theres More. THERES MORE.

Also the part about tanya and will's kiss....god, that part was so creepy and unnerving for me, the whole thing felt like a set-up to a jumpscare so i was so nervous the whole time and my inability to tell what i was seeing didn't help, the dithered footage of a slow dance ontop of the forest was rlly confusing...and then the close up of the figure in the background watching the man and woman dance. tha t was so creepy and nerve-wracking.

at first it hought it represented us as the player, the prince, staring into this deeply intimate moment, a voyeur, that furthers the theme of lack of agency in this game.

And then this guy connects it with will's mom and what she did the first time he fell in love with a girl and umm basically im going to run into open fucking traffic. Im eating cement.

#ITS SO. GOD. GODDDDDD #HUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH #who's lila #t #EVEN IN THIS ONE MOMENT OF INTIMACY AND PASSION SOMETHING HAUNTS HIM. IM GONNA . F

Alright, alright. You spoiled me with the Ironstrange h/cs, but now I present to you another Marvel challenge... T'Challa/Everett Ross. ...I recently saw Black Panther (gotta catch up on the comics, no I'm not currently preoccupied with Bilbo fanart and Doctor Strange comics, also Shuri is my new crush omg) and at this point I'm just turning into a trash bin of Marvel ships. Ta for answering my silly asks! You're amazing!!

Honestly, I never thought about this pairing before. Is this a popular ship? It’s certainly interesting so let’s give it a go!

does the cooking Neither, they both have the money for private chefs. Everett, however, knows how to make a decent breakfast and will treat T’Challa from time to time

is more protective T’Challa, for sure. That boy has a self-sacrifice streak a mile long

is better with kids T’Challa, he just seems to have that soft but firm demeanor that goes over well with children.

wakes up first in the morning Everett, you can bet your ass he was a soldier before he was a suit and the habit never really went away.

controls the TV/radio/remote I think that they both dither in front of the tv. “What do you want to watch babe?” “Idk, whatever you want” “No, no, I insist, we watch what you want” and it will go on like that for an hour until one of them cracks and chooses something.

sings in the shower T’Challa, and it’s a mix of traditional Wakandan music and that international pop music that Shuri plays all the time and gets stuck in his head

is responsible for trapping/killing the spiders Everett, he is merciless

always falls asleep on the couch Also Everett, he just strikes me as the type to be like “I’m not sleeping, just resting my eyes” and then to immediately conk out during the commercials.

takes care of the other when they’re sick T’Challa, cause he’s the best little provider. He’ll get Shuri to whip up some crazy new medicine to get Everett back on his feet and harassing his interns in no time.

sets the house on fire T’Challa, but it was probably designed as a prank by Shuri

is horrible at budgeting Neither. They both look like they are very strict with their money and know how to handle a checkbook.

brings home stray pets T’Challa, he strikes me as the type to bring in a stray, one-eyed cat and be like “look at this poor beast, he needs a home”

would cook the better romantic dinner I think Everett would definitely go all out to try and do something special for his man, seeing as they are both so busy and he rarely gets the chance to dote on him.

starts the holiday decorating T’Challa, because he strikes me as the type to try and keep the traditions alive and decorating for special holidays definitely fits with that.

eats the others uneaten pizza crusts Everett, he likes the crunch and the texture and he’s flabbergasted as to why T’Challa wouldn’t.

watches jeopardy and calls out the answers Everett, for sure. He definitely strikes me as the type to yell at the tv.

clings to the other during scary movies T’Challa would definitely be a jumpscare baby and Everett would cuddle him and be like “all that ass kicking and you’re afraid of a little ghost?” and T’Challa would be like “listen colonizer, we Africans don’t mess around with spirits, okay? They mean serious business!”

surprises the other in the shower Everett, cheeky bastard

initiates hand holding while the other is driving T’Challa, as I said, the boy is soft.

asks weird questions in the middle of the night Also T’Challa. Everett would groan but obligingly answer until he fell back asleep midsentence.

Give me a pairing and I’ll give you my head canons for them!
