It's a great game, full of interesting characters and engaging gameplay. Even among other RPGMaker-style games set in imaginary worlds Omori has built its own unique niche... But I have to vent: It's too damn long.

I loved it up until the ~18 hour mark, and then Humphrey happened, followed by the black space key hunt and collecting memories along the highway and suddenly at what was supposed to be the most emotionally impactful part of the game I felt bored out of my mind because the story points were interspersed with highly time-consuming linear segments. Furthermore, the last ~20% of the game disregards most of your effort so far (the RPG side - side quests, character advancement, overworld exploration) so the only thing motivating you to get to the end is to wrap up the story. This part is just hours of walking from thing to thing hoping the next interaction will advance the plot.

Recommendation: Play it, but be prepared for it to slow down near the end. If it gets boring, don't be afraid to stop playing and watch video analyses of the endings. You won't miss anything. The endings are all very linear did not need to be so long.
