The battle system goes back to the hand-drawn design and is interesting because it’s very much derivative of Earthbound and RPG Maker games in its turn-based nature. The design of Faraway Town is obviously more entrenched in realism (despite being pixel graphics) while the spaces are more whimsical and colourful, and eventually more chaotic and unnerving. In a broader sense, the design draw a clear line between the stark differences of the real world known as Faraway Town, and the various dream world areas consisting of Headspace, Black Space, Black Space 2, and Further Black Space. The exploration gameplay is predominately pixel art, and is very creative in its design of the different areas. But then you’ll be faced with incredibly creepy scenes like a dark figure standing behind you or this monstrosity. Sometimes it’s a set of polaroid pictures of you and your friends having fun together. Sometimes you’ll see a colourful reflection of you and your friends, with your colourless frame in the middle sticking out like a sore thumb. The art design of Omori jumps between a shaky hand-drawn look that can be cute or creepy depending on the context of the scene, and a simple RPG Maker pixel design. The main story revolves around you and your friends trying to find your missing buddy, but in this journey, you must confront your murky past and your deepest fears.
You play as the protagonist Sunny/Omori as you traverse between reality and the dream world with your friends. Originally released in December 2020 for PC/Mac, the game is based on a webcomic series of the same name created by the developer.
Omori is a turn-based surreal horror RPG developed by OMOCAT.
