Holy shit! It's finally happening! I was told I was foolish for believing we'd still get it this year, so I'm quite excited. I really hope it's good!

I havent been following this games development at all but every time it games a new thread I instantly remember the tone and the visual style

a surefire sign of "nailing it" if ever there was one

I'm interested. Is this only on pc?
I believe Switch, PS4, and X1, too. 3DS was backed, but they scrapped it, I believe. I imagine it comes to new consoles, but who knows when. I don't even know if it's coming to anything beyond PC on the 25th.
God ive been waiting years for this. So hyped.
Right???? Always so exciting to see an indie game you've followed for years get a hard date announced.

Cool thanks I'll go grab it on switch. Wonder if it can be played on PS5 since it'll be on PS4.

Looks amazing! I will definitely play it, but I still don't know if I'll wait for the Switch release or get it on PC

any reason why so many people are apparently waiting this for years? Did the devs made a cool game before that? Was that announced with something special?

Never heard of it but looks cool and will probably pick it

This is the year Kentucky Route Zero and Omori both released. And King of Cards was late last year.

All those long-term Kickstarter bets I made in early college are finally paying off!

3DS backers had the platform changed to Switch automatically so that one's definitely coming sooner and Playism's publishing it iirc. Playism's also doing the JP localization (and presumably PC release on their store).

I'm surprised it came out

I remember the Kickstarter being sus, around the time of the Soul Saga stuff, a lot of questionable promises and unanswered issues so I assumed it would just disappear

Funnily enough Soul Saga also finally came out this year and by the sounds of it completely changed genre and is absolutely terrible so hopefully this fares better

I'm surprised this isn't more popular, but it'll probably blow up after release... unless it's bad. I never played the demo. I think it'll be good!

Man I hope this is good. It's checking a bunch of boxes for me and it has been since the first trailer dropped like... 7 years ago?

Omori for PC launches December 25

“Surreal psychological horror RPG” OMORI will launch for PC via Steam on December 25, developer OMOCAT announced.

Switch will probably come first since it's backer funded and Playism's involved.

Bump since it's coming out tomorrow... Do we have any idea when it's coming out exactly? There's no timer on steam 🤔

No, and they don't like to answer questions from anyone (including backers), so we don't know the price, how long it is, or anything. Unknown if any outlets are getting review codes, either.

How weird, I only learned of this game's existence last month so I don't know much, but I heard there were some drama with its kickstarter campaign.

Hoping for a midnight release on Steam, and I hope it turns out good. Watched some gameplay of the old demo and it looked like a lot fun.

I've been excitedly following the game for years, wanting it desperately. Despite that, I will not buy the game without reviews. Too many unknowns. I have faith that it'll be great and interesting, but I don't have absolute confidence.
