The art direction combines pixel art with hand-drawn art. OMORI is heavily inspired by the Mother series, specifically EarthBound and Mother 3, as well as Yume Nikki, another independent horror RPGMaker game. He also seems to have forgotten something. He wonders why his friends would want to be with someone horrible like him, but OMORI recalls a time when he was not like this. The game focuses on OMORI, a depressed young boy, going on adventures with his friends and helping others in the world. The game is based around several previous works by OMOCAT, including OMORI'S BLOG, OMORI'S STORY, OMORI's SKETCHBOOK, and an unfinished graphic novel. A Nintendo 3DS port stretch goal for the game was funded, but it was later announced at PLAYISM's pre-Tokyo Game Show 2019 that this port was cancelled and replaced by a Nintendo Switch port. The game was successfully funded on Jvia Kickstarter.

The 2020 trailer music was written by bansheebeat (Dylan Browne) and composed by Pedro Silva. It is directed, written, and illustrated independently by OMOCAT and her TEAM, including music by SLIME GIRLS and CLOVER & SEALIFE.

There are some occasions where Mari will be absent, like during Omori's unexpected horror scenes, but as long as they can find a stray picnic basket, the player can still save.OMORI is a surreal psychological horror RPG Maker game developed by OMOCAT and co-published by PLAYISM which fully released for PC Windows and macOS on December 25, 2020. Most of the time, they'll find them at Mari's picnics, which she's set up across the map. Once they're done with that, they can go back and interact with the picnic basket, which opens up the save menu.įrom that point on, players can save wherever they run into a picnic basket. The first save point they'll find is at the playground, after the cutscene where they first meet Mari and Basil and look through Basil's photo album. Depending on how fast the player reads and how thoroughly they explore, it can take 15-20 minutes to reach it, so players should make sure they aren't going to be interrupted when starting up the game. Players should note that it takes a bit when just starting the game to reach their first checkpoint.

Either they let players save wherever they want, or they only let players save at designated save points. RPG Maker games tend to have two different save systems.
