Welcome back to Pixel Banana! You ever play a game that messes with your head in the best way possible? That's OMORI for me. It starts out all cute and nostalgic, exploring a world of make-believe friends and sunny adventures. But then things get... weird. Sunny, the main character, is dealing with some serious stuff, and the game doesn't shy away from showing it.It's like this dark twist on classic RPGs, with battles and exploration, but it throws some serious emotional punches too. The music is incredible, all chiptunes and melancholic melodies that perfectly capture the game's atmosphere. One minute you're fighting silly monsters, the next you're facing your deepest fears. It's not for everyone, but for those who dig it, OMORI is a wild ride that will stay with you long after the credits roll. It's hard to believe it's been three years since OMORI descended into our lives. To celebrate this milestone, Fangamer, OMOCAT, and MUSIC Engine teamed up for a truly special event: the OMORI 3rd Anniversary Concert.
For those who missed it, the concert was a beautiful online broadcast featuring orchestral arrangements of the game's iconic soundtrack. For me, the sountracks of this game is trully masterpiece. MUSIC Engine, who brought the melancholic melodies and playful tunes to life with a full orchestra. The concert was more than just a performance; it was a journey through Sunny's (Main character of OMORI) world. Familiar tracks like "Lost At A Sleepover" and "By Your Side" took on an amazing quality, their chords hitting you like a pure nostalgia. "A Home For Flowers" (Tulip) simple melody turned into a powerful orchestra song, while "Photograph" sounded amazing, almost scary good. But it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows (or black space and white space, for that matter). Tracks like "It Means Everything" and "A Home For Flowers" (Empty) retained their raw emotional punch, the orchestra perfectly capturing the despair that was hidden in OMORI's world.There were moments of pure joy, too. "Sugar Star Planetarium" became a whimsical space odyssey, complete with twinkling strings and playful percussion. "I Will Catch Up!" and "Stardust Diving" The upbeat songs made you itch to grab your controller and jump back into the game's happy world (maybe skip the creepy stuff this time!). Then they did a mashup of a bunch of songs, showing how awesome the music sounded with a big band. Even though one song couldn't be played for music reasons, the whole concert felt like facing your problems, which is a big part of the game. This wasn't just about the music, it was about celebrating OMORI, the fans, and how the game deals with mental health stuff. Here's to OMORI for being different, the music that stays in your head, and the concert that brought Sunny's world to life in a totally new way. Hooray for three years of dreams, and here's to many more! Pixel BANANA is out! 🍌
