It's 2026, and Omori still clings to the darkest corners of our imaginations like a bittersweet dream. After years trapped in development hell, Omocat's weird RPG finally emerged at the end of 2020—first on PC, then on Switch, Xbox, and eventually other platforms—slowly building a devoted following that hasn't stopped growing. Its blend of saccharine visuals, turn-based combat, and deeply unsettling subject matter feels as fresh now as it did back then. If you've rolled credits and find yourself yearning for more games that poke at the same tender, terrifying places, this list is for you. The cult of Omori only widens, and these 19 titles are the perfect next steps.

19. Deltarune

Fans of Undertale have been treated to something extraordinary with Deltarune. Only two chapters launched originally, but the years since have expanded the story in ways that keep the community buzzing. The combat system offers more depth, the characters feel richer, and the underlying darkness mirrors Omori’s own ability to wrap despair in cute packaging. If a quirky, slightly twisted RPG with heart is what you’re after, Deltarune hums on the exact same wavelength.

18. World of Horror

Here’s where the resemblance gets eerily literal. World of Horror shares Omori’s turn-based bones but swaps the pastel dreamscapes for 1-bit nightmares inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and Junji Ito. Every monster was painstakingly drawn in MS Paint, creating a retro aesthetic that oozes nostalgia—just like Omori’s hand-drawn charm. Encounters feel personal and dreadful, always reminding you that something is deeply wrong, which is a sensation Omori players know by heart.

17. Child of Light

A Ubisoft experiment that still shines a decade later, Child of Light delivers a turn-based RPG wrapped in watercolor beauty. The rhyming dialogue might draw occasional sighs, but the sheer artistry and emotional weight of the story feel like a sister-soul to Omori. You wander through a realm of melancholy and hope, guided by a small, fragile protagonist whose journey mirrors the interior struggles that make Omori so magnetic.

16. Mother 3

Earthbound's legacy runs deep, and Mother 3 is arguably the emotional peak of that lineage. Never officially released outside Japan, fan translations opened the door to a world of quirky humor and gut-punch tragedy. Anyone moved by Omori's blend of childlike wonder and adult sorrow will find a kindred spirit here. The GBA-era visuals and haunting soundtrack forge an experience that refuses to leave you.

15. Little Misfortune

Lighter in tone but no less macabre, Little Misfortune has you walking alongside a bubbly girl whose world is littered with unsettling signs. Death accompanies every step—not as an enemy, but as a constant presence, much like the themes that haunt Omori. It’s a brief, story-driven gem that balances sweetness with creeping dread, perfect for when you need a break from Omori’s heavier stretches without losing that deliciously ominous feeling.

14. Little Nightmares

Omori isn’t always a full-blown horror game, but when it veers into the dark, it doesn’t hold back. Little Nightmares dives headfirst into a grotesque, childlike fear factory. You control Six through towering, monstrous environments that make your skin crawl. The silence, the scale, the dread—it all echoes the oppressive atmosphere Omori builds during its most harrowing moments.

13. Inside

Playdead’s Inside is a masterclass in telling a harrowing story without a single spoken word. A boy navigates a dystopian nightmare, and every frame is drenched in tension. That same feeling of isolation and the slow unraveling of a world gone wrong will resonate deeply with Omori fans. The ending lingers like a half-remembered bad dream, exactly the kind of emotional residue you’re here for.

12. Psychonauts

On the surface, a 3D platformer seems miles away from Omori’s top-down RPG format—until you step inside the minds of its characters. Psychonauts explores trauma, repression, and fractured psyches with compassion and offbeat humor. The artistic flair and surreal mindscapes echo the White Space and Headspace you explored with Sunny. Now with a brilliant sequel well into its lifespan, the original remains a touchstone for games about mental landscapes.

11. Disco Elysium

Harry Du Bois is a broken man piecing himself together, and his internal dialogues feel like Omori’s inner battles rendered in detective-noir prose. Disco Elysium trades turn-based creature fights for skill checks and existential arguments, but the core remains the same: a deep, painful excavation of self. Its painterly art and heart-wrenching writing grab hold and don’t let go, making it a natural companion piece to Omocat’s masterpiece.

10. Contact

A quirky oddball from Grasshopper Manufacture, Contact channels Earthbound’s spirit through a top-down RPG lens much like Omori does. Humor and menace collide as you explore an island with a professor and a strange creature. It’s old, it’s hard to find, and it’s still worth every bit of effort to experience. If you adore Omori’s ability to swing from goofy to devastating in a heartbeat, Contact will feel like coming home.

No matter which of these you pick up next, they all share a common thread: an unflinching willingness to explore the messy, beautiful, and often unsettling spaces inside us. Omori opened that door—now step through it again and again.
