Omori
Added on June 10, 2024Omori is an extremely complicated item to include on this list as a "plural game", and one I suspect will cause a lot of arguments:
- OMOCAT, the developer, has explicitly deconfirmed it
- Multiple plot points within the game get extremely uncomfortable/problematic when viewed under a plural light
But the bar for Brain Problem Games is not if something is "canon": It merely asks if people might feel seen by a particular piece of media. And many, many plural people do feel seen by the game. Even if one was to discard all of the direct connections to Traumagenic Plurality, Omori still tells a captivating tale about dissociative amnesia and maladaptive daydreaming that many systems will feel seen by.
So, it is included on this list. Just recognize that, when viewed as a "plural game", the overall message becomes tainted and unhealthy for systems--but this reading was not intended by the creator. Even so, I view Omori as a captivating game all the same.
