"Welcome to WHITE SPACE. You have been living here for as long as you can remember."
OMORI is a psychological horror RPG developed by OMOCAT, released in 2020. The game masterfully blends cute, colorful aesthetics with deep psychological themes, exploring trauma, depression, and the power of friendship.
You play as SUNNY, a reclusive boy who escapes into a vibrant dream world called HEADSPACE, where he becomes OMORI. The game alternates between the colorful, surreal dream world and the bleak reality of SUNNY's life.
HEADSPACE
A whimsical dream world filled with adventure, turn-based battles, and colorful characters.
REAL WORLD
A somber reality where SUNNY confronts his trauma and reconnects with old friends.
Four years ago, something terrible happened to SUNNY and his friends. In the aftermath, SUNNY became a hikikomori - completely withdrawing from society. To cope with his trauma, he created HEADSPACE, a dream world where he could escape reality.
"You were so happy then... You must have been so happy."
As SUNNY's three-day journey to move away begins, he must confront the truth he's been avoiding for years. The line between HEADSPACE and reality begins to blur, and SUNNY must choose between continuing to escape or facing his trauma head-on.
The game explores themes of guilt, forgiveness, depression, and the healing power of friendship through its branching narrative and multiple endings.
