Omori Manga Promotional Video and Announcement
The news came after the Games completed its third annual concert livestream.
The developer’s official Twitter/X account OMOCAT LLC broke the news of a Omori manga adaptation of their game, which caused quite a stir on social media
The series will debut in the monthly afternoon magazine by Kodansha, alongside Vinland Saga and others. It will be authored by Nui Konoito-sensei, marking this serialization as their first work.
What is Omori About?
Omori, an indie horror game developed and published by the indie studio OMOCAT, belongs to the realm of gaming for those unaware. It took exactly six years for the game to develop, and the result is not a sophisticated and one-of-a-kind game. The drama follows depression, anxiety and psychosis, which can lead to bipolar disorder. However, Omori followed the white space of Hikikomori (Japanese for Shut-in) aka ‘Omori’ and spent time in the “white space” space where his friends have lived for as long as he can remember.
The whole universe is called “head space” full of vibrations. Later, we encounter important details in Omori’s manga, revealing that Headspace ‘Sunny’ is just an illusion in the boy’s mind. Sunny’s alter ego would be called Omori. The player determines the actions of Sunny and Omori, and their actions can have many consequences. Omori has multiple endings depending on the choices and actions of the player.
The game focuses on RPG elements with sequence-based combat, allowing the player to control multiple characters at once. Omori is known for her accolades; Although the game didn’t win any awards, it did receive nominations in three categories for indie games including the prestigious “Indy Game of the Year” award
Omori Manga Expectations For the Adaptation
No word on the manga yet, whether it will be a new storyline or a sequel to the ending of a particular game. The series will start later this month or until next month, with no special emphasis on the monthly magazine Afternoon.
In conclusion, in the ever-expanding field of games and manga, Omori stands out as a shining example of creativity and innovation. Also, with the announcement of its manga adaptation, fans can expect to see the game’s Eclipse story in a whole new light.
