Good Scene Breakdown: A bit a few hours into Omori that really stuck with me
Onigashima

Omori is an Earthboundian RPG
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 3:56 AM
for the first long period of the game you're in a surreal weirdworld
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 3:56 AM
fighting goofy-looking nonsense monsters with like
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 3:56 AM
knives and baseball bats
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 3:56 AM
standard stuff
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 3:56 AM
Omori and his friends
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 3:57 AM
Omori, the protag, uses knives
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 3:57 AM
handy for cutting down vines on the map n' shit
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 3:58 AM
but the weirdness starts after a major arc concludes
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 3:58 AM
and you wake up
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 3:59 AM
as a boy named Sunny, who looks exactly like Omori
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 3:59 AM
except, you're in the real world now
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 3:59 AM
no monsters, no whimsical rainbow dimension
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 3:59 AM
just a random suburb, hanging out with one of your friends
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:00 AM
at one point, one of the other party members shows up, but she's a weird asshole now
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:00 AM
so you end up getting in a fight
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:00 AM
I'm like oh boy, Audrey looks strong, I'd better get ready for a long fight
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:01 AM
round 1
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:01 AM
Sunny attacks
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:01 AM
Aubrey: Wait is that a fucking knife
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:01 AM
Aubrey gets stabbed, starts bleeding
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:01 AM
fight ends immediately
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:01 AM
everyone loses their fucking minds
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:01 AM
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:01 AM
like "what the fuck sunny you can't just stab someone"
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:01 AM
"give me that"
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:02 AM
I just completely defaulted to RPG Logic
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:02 AM
I have a knife equipped, it'll do some HP damage
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:02 AM
but then it turns out you shouldn't stab people in the park in the real world
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:02 AM
they take it really badly
moontouched
@rukafais
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:02 AM

@rukafais
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:02 AM
because well, it's true
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:02 AM
knife, the great communicator
moontouched
@rukafais
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:02 AM
knife ends fights real quickly
moontouched
@rukafais
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:02 AM
REAL quickly
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:03 AM
but in the real world, escalating has consequences
shivorce
@shivorce
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:03 AM
The funniest thing about this is Aubrey wielding a bat with nails
Snowdrops ﾐ☆
@danidanidanica
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:03 AM
It's so well set up because everyone sees the familiar battle screen so like yeah okay I've done this before
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:03 AM
I completely forgot I even had the knife equipped
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:04 AM
I was just going to like
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:04 AM
attack her hit points
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:04 AM
for damage points
moontouched
@rukafais
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:04 AM
honestly yeah that's the funniest part
moontouched
@rukafais
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:04 AM
everyone is so horrified you stabbed aubrey and yet aubrey has a fucking nail bat
thetaClysm
@thetacriterion
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:04 AM
technically she did lose some hit points!
moontouched
@rukafais
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:04 AM
LIKE STABBING SOMEONE IN THE PARK IS BAD
thetaClysm
@thetacriterion
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:04 AM
just, also, some blood,
moontouched
@rukafais
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:04 AM
BUT ALSO
moontouched
@rukafais
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:04 AM
THAT BAT WILL ALSO DO
moontouched
@rukafais
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:04 AM
LOTS OF REAL LIFE DAMAGE
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:04 AM
SHE'S A DELINQUENT
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:05 AM
IT'S COOL WHEN SHE DOES IT PROBABLY
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:05 AM
the knife is also just, like, mechanically an AMAZING weapon
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:05 AM
like when you have it, Kel does about 30 damage with his basketball
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:05 AM
and you knife Audrey for 104 damage
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:05 AM
then he confiscates your knife and you're doing like 15 damage
thetaClysm
@thetacriterion
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:05 AM
knives hurt
moontouched
@rukafais
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:06 AM
sunny has noodle arms
moontouched
@rukafais
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:06 AM
the knife is so much more effective
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:06 AM
there's also this sense of like
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:06 AM
why... is Sunny like this
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:06 AM
we get into basically a schoolyard brawl over stupid shit
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:06 AM
and Sunny's like >equip knife
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:07 AM
It's a rare case where having a silent protag really works for a scene
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:07 AM
the fact that you don't know what Sunny is thinking makes him scary
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:11 AM
also the fact that he seems to actually be ICly silent
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:11 AM
like, Basil tries to have conversations with you
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:11 AM
and gets uncomfortable
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:11 AM
because you aren't replying
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:16 AM
anyway Omori had a slow start but I'm really getting into it
thetaClysm

Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:19 AM
Things are happening in the plot that are making me go, in a good way,
Snowdrops ﾐ☆
@danidanidanica
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:19 AM
Especially as the team's very first game, like, there's some design bits that could have been streamlined but overall? I like it quite a lot.
Snowdrops ﾐ☆
@danidanidanica
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:20 AM
a shitton of content crammed in there too
thetaClysm
@thetacriterion
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:20 AM
god yeah actually. i beat the game months ago and i'm doing an entire second playthrough now and STILL discovering new things
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:21 AM
the real world segments keep reframing things in the fantasyworld segments in worse and worse ways
Onigashima
@quinn2win
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 4:22 AM
like, to not spoil but to allude in a way that spoiled folks will understand

@aerialism
Sun, Jul 4, 2021 5:07 AM
the actual bits that are supposed to be horror in omori are hit-or-miss for me with a few exceptions but the atmosphere in faraway town when it's just, like, normal
