Omori is a complex game, featuring a variety of routes and endings and a substantial amount of optional content. This means that the length of this psychological horror game can expand and contract dramatically, contingent upon how deep a player wants to go into it. This guide is here to expand on that idea, and fans can find details on how long it takes to beat Omori in what follows.
How Long to Beat Omori
A player that put their primary focus on reaching the end of Omori can expect to complete their first playthrough in around 20 hours. That said, this length can be extended considerably by engaging with the aforementioned optional content, which primarily takes the form of side quests. Indeed, the majority of the quests in the game are not mandatory, and indie video game fans that pursue side quests to a high degree can add around 10 hours to the experience.
This is certainly not the end of the story, though, as Omori's alternative routes and variety of endings provide opportunities to spend much more time the game. While this guide will not go into further detail on those opportunities, as to avoid any more spoilers, it is not unreasonable for it take 70 hours to see everything that the game has to offer. Certainly, that is a significant time investment, and it is not one that every player will be interested in making.
On the other hand, some players will be more than happy to get lost in the world of Omori for as long as it is possible to do so. Indeed, this title is considered to be one of the best RPG Maker games of all time by many, and some fans will be sad to see it come to an end. For those players that find themselves in that situation, there are a handful of other games that they may want to consider playing after they have completed this one.
Perhaps the most obvious game to recommend to fans that are looking for something like Omori is Yume Nikki, a psychological horror game that also uses RPG Maker as its engine and is freely available on Steam. Off is yet another RPG Maker title that may scratch a similar itch, as is the Hello Charlotte series. And then there are Undertale and Deltarune, games that are not exactly aligned with Omori but may strike a chord with its fans nonetheless.
Omori is available on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
