If you're wondering what to play after you finish Omori, this list is for you. When you're looking for games like Omori, you might also be looking for incredible games with multiple endings, indie horror titles with moments that put your heart in your mouth, or emotionally-led RPGs with strong story beats throughout. Whether you enjoyed the turn-based combat gameplay, the twisty-turny narrative, or the complex characters--you'll find it all in this list.

After playing Octopath Traveler 0 for a single hour, I think it has one of my favorite turn-based combat systems ever, and that's saying something in 2025.

Square Enix's HD-2D games have gotten progressively better over the last few years, and there's every indication that Octopath Traveler 0 can continue the trend.

"Guillaume Broche, Francois Meurisse, Tom Guillermin from Sandfall, and Alexis Garavaryan from Kepler-creators of Expedition 33-visited the Square Enix office for a creatively rich exchange of visions and ideas," Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi wrote on social media on Thursday.

"Once a year the Paintress, a giant god-like woman, wakes, paints a number on a monolith and everyone whose age corresponds with that number dies."
