how and why did Omori get the insane popularity it did? its really nothing special.
Doesn't invent anything new and just take ideas from YN, Undertale, Earthbound and end up being yet another MUH DEPRESSION generic zoomer game. Oneshot is a 10x more interesting experience if we're talking rpgm games, yet it gets barely any recognition
Is that the power of an expensive promotional campain + intense shilling?
i checked out your shill game (oneshout). it looks bad.
so you know, have a nice day

It's because all the reasons you mentioned, they want something easy to digest and feel smart about understanding it
Plus it has shotas and feet
Because of the gay shota porn
and incest
Trannies.
Just take a look at the /vg/ general
Omori isn't popular
Because it kinda nails that all too real phenomenon of "You don't actually know the people around you; just the IDEA of them" and puts it into a nostalgic little format.
It attracts a certain demographic - the kind that also enjoys danganronpa and undertale
first (You) decides if I buy this game or I pirate it
Pirate
People are lonely and want imaginary friends because nobody hangs out with them. Same thing as persona basically.
One Shot is more similar than you make it out to be, its just about having an imaginary son.
bnu
I played it on the switch and I finished that before finishing botw. So that means omochadri < btfo
I'd rather play Omori than a lot of the switch's supposed heavy hitters honestly.
i just went to take look at /omog/, i seen enough
>/vg/ is a hellhole
Nothing new
it's popular?
Because the endings are actually good. I wouldn’t say that killing your sister then getting your friend to make it look like she hanged herself, while she was actually still alive after falling down the stairs, is a “generic zoomer” thing. It was an actually interesting take on mental defence mechanisms (dreamland/white room/black room/abyss) and on hikikOMORI type of people, and why they became hikikomori’s in the first place.
Reminder that the only way to deal with mass repliers is using a filter like this:
/(?:>>d(?:(?!>>d)[^])*){10}/
You can change the 10 at the end to adjust how many post quotes it takes for the filter to work.
They want your attention so don't give it to them.
It has cute art/presentation. That's literally it. Hardly a mystery
WHY THE FRICK is the fanbase filled to the brim with coomers?
pedo troony coomers are the only ones obsessed with this shit game
I LOVE Omori
it didn't though?
I've seen precisely zero conversation about Omori outside of Ganker, let alone any headlines the way Undertale, YN, or even YIIK got.
Even Library of Ruina, a game made by half a dozen asiatics in a sandwich shop, made more waves outside of Ganker than Omori
Go back to your containment thread
>it just takes ideas from YN, Undertale, Earthbound
So?
>MUH DEPRESSION generic zoomer game
This doesn't exist. You fell for memes.
I don't know what insane popularity you are talking about
I (me) unironically have a great relationship with my sister and I'm the happiest I have been in my whole life, why should I care for [indie game about depression]?
>MUH DEPRESSION generic zoomer game.
It's not about depression at all and you're a fricking big Black person for spamming this shit. If anything it's about guilt and learning to forgive yourself so you can move forward with your life.
Get the frick out of here. No one even wants you in /vg/. Just have a nice day
YWNBAW
The game is about a depressed kid the frick are you talking about moron
And you're saying there was no depression involved in sunny's agony throughout the game?
Not him, but I'd argue that if it's there, it takes a backseat to the rest of his issues. Sunny seems much more on the side of manic or bipolar than depressed. The only proper symptom he shows is lethargy, and even that doesn't seem to be an intense case, given how he can easily spend a few days out of the house. And when he finally stops repressing the truth about what happened, the part of him that wants to dwell is violently angry. Sure, it spewed a lot of negative thoughts that were technically coming from Sunny, but self-loathing can exist in a lot of cases other than depression.
Oneshot is the most "ok" game I ever played. Don't know why people shill it so much here.
>tons of secret bosses
>kino soundtrack
>actually funny
>better gameplay than most rpgs with multiple team comps and sections where you have only one character
>doesn't try to be about depression
>still got a more of an emotional reaction from me than any AAA game in the last 10 years
>hard as frick
omori can't compete
Lisa the painful is the only good zoomer indie depression game because it's not nearly as homosexualy and it is also funny as frick.
Source?
The comics Omocat did that would become Omori
I've only found the omoriboy comic that is bland and introduces headspace. None of this cring zoomer depression shit.
Oneesan feet
It made me cry.
Man the whole ending was a punch in the gut.
You forgot Silent hill 2.
It's not only about overcoming depression. It's about overcoming guilt and confronting reality.
The cute quirky earthbound/undertale-like world that Omori lives in is nothing but a lie, created to bury the truth.
I want to play it but I've got deadlines coming out of my ass
>relatively unique presentation
>decently written outside of headspace
>capitalizes on the growing popularity of "frick coincidental symbolism, just show us what is literally going on in their head"
>very true to life representation of the 90s
>core concept isn't actually "muh depression"
Because of Yume Nikki references in the game. Those were my favorite part.
Why is this true?
Here's what your missing: nice != beta, slave, or helper. People are naturally ambitious, greedy, and want more for themselves. But in our culture it discourages those values, and want us to "be happy" and "never chase your dreams". Coupled that with our culture of staying inside and not going outside (I see REAL LIFE people close their windows, not letting sunlight in their room, when sunlight is important to our mental health), people become depressed with themselves.
We even see it here: in the image all that's present is a knife, light bulb and a computer. The bare essentials needed for the modern depress man.
Because MARI is cute!
Post it.
Post what
You know what.
You just did.
And dead
i dunno but it made me sad when i played it. actually cried despite me being a man. so there's that.
>man
You must have so much estrogen you can pass as a b***h
also there's the almost nostalgic, it's like living in someones elses nostalgia. the nostalgia of having friends. i miss my friends but it's too late now i am a boring NEET alone in my home
Because Omocat and she made things like
and Pretty Boy
