What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
June 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $9.99. It has been discounted 22 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 12 weeks between sales.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games closest to it, Grimm's Hollow (free, scores 93) and LISA: The Painful ($10.99, scores 91) both come in lower.
The math says it holds its tier up to $32.05, and you are being asked for $19.99.
88 from critics against 97 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 14 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2025 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,416 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,760 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 1,856 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 2 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 21.4 hours; clearing it takes 71, which is 3.3 times the campaign.

What players say
I started playing this game about a year ago. Originally I wanted to write this review once I got all achievements, but then I realised it would take me forever to do that. I told myself that I would at least try to complete the 2nd route first, my first playtrough was the Sunny Route with me accidentally getting the Knife Ending first and then Good and Bad Endings. My motivation quickly vanished after seeing that...
OMORI is a phenomenal experience that is extremely demanding of the player. It is an extremely long game, and certain aspects of the game which focus heavily on combat rather than character-driven beats can feel like drags or distractions from the main story even when providing subtle pieces to the overarching theme. Although some metaphorical means of storytelling can appear overly confusing or somewhat...
one of the few games that left me crying at the end. in terms of story telling it's up there. representing guilt, depression, greif, and how it affects everyone in your life so perfectly it's disturbing but also comforting. while at times it can be a slog to get through it is worth every single second spent not only to get to the end but to experience the life that is lived within the game. if you have time and...

OMORI scores 94/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1150690/omoriThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 15, price as of Sep 24.
