OMORI and Dissociative Amnesia | Psych of Play

Do you think it’s possible that something so sickeningly horrible can happen to you that you simply… won't remember it? Today on the longest damn Psych of Play ever we are going to take an extremely deep dive into OMORI and talk about how it portrays trauma and dissociative amnesia. And also how it made me feel… Every. Single. Emotion. At once.
