I've been waiting for this for 6 years and never lost hope nor my excitement for this. I woke up forgetting it comes out today, but once I sleepily checked my e-mails and saw it, I jumped out of bed squealing in excitement.

I didn't get very far yet, but I'm absolutely loving it. The characters are all charming, lovable and expressive. The art style is absolutely amazing, especially during combat. It's both super adorable and unsettling, although, again, I didn't get very far yet. I can imagine the creepy factor may get a lot higher farther in!

It was more than worth it's price already and I'm super excited to get sucked deep into this world! I know most will compare this to the next Undertale, some even to the next Yume Nikki, but personally I like to compare it to OFF, which holds an incredibly special spot in my heart. Although, by any means, I believe this game isn't going to be 'the next anything.' It's going to be OMORI. It's own game, with it's own unique feel and experience.

I'm super happy for all the hard work the developers put into this, the wait was definitely worth it! Thank you and happy holidays.

UPDATE:
10+ hours in now and I still 100% agree with everything said here. The story is both sweet and fun, but also eerie and scary and actually gave me the heebie-jeebies, something a game hasn't done to me in a long time.
It has so many unique and fun mechanics I haven't seen in games like this before, which really makes it stand out. Combat is, despite being a classic turn-based, very unique as well, in a way that makes it super fun and interesting and requires much brain juice at times.

UPDATE:
30+ hours of playtime now, I finally finished it, and it was an absolutely magical experience. 10/10 I loved this game so much. The story had me so invested and the mechanics were so much fun... I can't wait to play it again and see what I missed!
