It is often a taboo topic, but discussing such matters is an important step to understanding and preventing it. Suicidal thoughts are intrusive, terrifying, and painful.Īs well as ending the victim’s life, suicide wreaks havoc on the lives of those who once knew them. It’s about committing a horrible crime, lying about it, and getting over the guilt. Because the game includes these scenes, I assumed these mental health issues are presented in a way that is meaningful and respectful.ĭespite having depictions of such, this game is not really about depression, anxiety, or even suicide. OMORI provides a warning that it depicts scenes of depression, anxiety, and suicide. Part 2: OMORI’s message is mishandled and distasteful (Note: I use “OMORI” in all-caps for the game title, and “Omori” in title case for the character name.) ![]() This is second part of my review where I will tackle OMORI’s problematic themes and disrespectful appropriation of mental health. However, just as the fans have the right to praise the game, I have the right to examine it, criticize it, and explain why it failed to provide a compelling experience. Based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam, I know that my opinion is in the minority. ![]() I am not here to take OMORI away from anyone. Treasure this game, love it, recommend it, make fan art, buy the merch, do what you will with it. Once again, if you are a big fan of OMORI, this review is not for you.
