A surreal, exploration, horror RPG.
Travel between new (old) worlds and uncover new (old) mysteries with your new (old) friends! ♥
OMORI is a surreal psychological horror RPGmaker game.
You must travel between two worlds, both welcoming, both concealing the same secrets.
Meet new (old) people, fight new (old) enemies, explore your own memories,
and uncover some hidden truths along the way (although you wish you hadn't).
When the time comes, you can only choose one.
Which world is more real? You decide, I guess.

The Story
Welcome to WHITE SPACE. Your name is OMORI and you've been living here for as long as you can remember. Everything is bright white; there aren't any walls. A black lightbulb hangs from the ceiling… wherever it is. There's a floor but it's always cold. The warmest thing here is probably your laptop. You don't mind though. You have a blanket, a laptop, a cat, a sketchbook, and a tissue box. You have everything you need.
You are usually upset. Everyone annoys you, you think you are ugly, you don't know where you came from, you don't know where you are going, and you're too tired to care.
On good days, your neighbors invite you over for a visit. "How can they have fun with someone as horrible as me?" You miss them now. When will they come again? Maybe today will be a good day!
Or maybe today is a day for sleeping.
But...Sometimes you're reminded you used to have another friend-- someone really important.
Somewhere in the back of your head, you have an inkling feeling that you weren't always like this. You weren't always living in WHITE SPACE.
The truth is...
Your story is already over.
You just have to remember it.

The Team
OMOCAT is an illustrator known for a variety of work that ranges from very personal art and comics (Pretty Boy!!) to fanart of various video games and anime to some kickass shirt and crewneck designs. Aside from being an artist, she runs her own online store and is currently working on OMORI (this), a project that has been on her mind since the start of her career.
PEDRO SILVA is a musician and, as soon as this project comes to fruition, a composer from San Juan Bautista, CA. Their main project "Slime Girls" combines the feelings of an eternal summer seen only through your TV screen with earnest punk rock energy and heavy influence from various eras of J-Pop. With OMORI, that same emphasis on affecting vibes and lilting emotions you can't quite place will be presented not through the lens of pop music but through the unique medium that only a video game can provide. Drawing from a lifelong influence of VGM always close to the heart, together with OMOCAT's impassioned vision and Jami's ability to synthesize sentiment into song, they hope to create an experience you'll treasure.
JAMI CARIGNAN (Heads Up! Hot Dogs, Wonder Momo: Typhoon Booster) is a composer and performing musician from Los Angeles, CA. As their performing artist persona, “Space Boyfriend”, Jami blends pop music with the emotional imperfection of punk rock and Japanese silver-age idol music to create an experience that pushes forward into the future with the ideals of youth and hope. Drawing inspiration from games like EarthBound/MOTHER, Animal Crossing, Persona, and Umihara Kawase, Jami, along with Pedro, hopes to express an earnest and sentimental connection with the themes of OMORI to create an unforgettable and lastingly meaningful experience with the help of your heart.
ARCHEIA programs. OMORI is in good hands. She would also like to thank Yami, Galv, Modern Algebra and, Fomar for withstanding her barrage of questions.
