Omori is more than just an indie RPG about a boy and his friends exploring a colorful dream world. Beneath its deceptively simple art style lies one of the most powerful explorations of depression, anxiety, trauma, and healing ever created in the medium of video games.
In this completely spoiler-free review, I examine why Omori has left such a profound impact on players worldwide, analyzing its masterful storytelling, unique gameplay mechanics, and the way it handles deeply personal themes with both brutal honesty and genuine compassion.
But this isn't just a game review. Midway through, I share my own story - my battle with depression, suicidal ideation, and the therapy journey that saved my life. I explain why this game hit me so powerfully even years after my recovery, and why I believe Omori represents something truly special in how games can help us understand ourselves and each other.
CONTENT WARNING: This video discusses depression, anxiety, suicide, and mental health struggles in detail. Please take care of yourself and consider your mental state before watching. If you're struggling, please reach out to someone - a friend, family member, therapist, or crisis helpline. You are not alone.
If this video helps you in any way, please let me know in the comments. I read and respond to every one.
