Omori is a 2020 role-playing video game developed and published by indie studio Omocat. The player controls a reclusive hikikomori teenage boy named Sunny and his dream world alter ego Omori. Gameplay is split into two settings: Sunny's activities in Faraway Town and Omori's exploration of a surreal dream world. How Sunny and Omori interact depends on choices made by the player, resulting in one of several endings, in which Sunny either overcomes or suppresses his fears and repressed memories. The game's turn-based battle system includes unconventional status effects based on characters' emotions. Prominently portraying concepts such as anxiety, depression, psychological trauma, self-harm, and suicide, the game features strong psychological horror elements. Synopsis from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA.
