> I hit a point with a lot of side stuff to do and got overwhelmed.

This always happens to me. Dark Souls taught me a lot about keeping my eyes on the prize and only focusing on high-return tasks during the first playthrough, but it's still easy to be overwhelmed. Especially in JRPGs...

I play a lot of indie games with retro aesthetics, and most of them only have enough ideas to last for two or three hours. Thanks for letting me know that Omori stays interesting! This is really good to hear.
