Omori uses several gameplay techniques to provide a deeper understanding of mental illness. Omori's Gameplay breaks the narrative's barrier between presentation and experience. SPOILERS.

(Added on Dec 7th, 2023) PLEASE NOTE: many lines of dialogue in this video are very closely phrased to quotes from the above sources or are in fact direct quotes from these sources but uncredited. There are also many YouTube comments and reddit posts that inspired some of my own thoughts shared in the video, but some were copied in a way that I’ve felt uncomfortable about since. I do not have the means to properly cite them in the video now over a year after this video was posted. A combination of passion for Omori, a lack of confidence in my own writing, a blind insistince on sharing correct information, and inexperience with the unqiue medium of YouTube video essays led to these massive oversights. You can view the script here to see everything properly cited, which is a less than respectable solution but the only one I have now: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H...
