Bring OMORI back to the Microsoft Store!


Bring OMORI back to the Microsoft Store!
The Issue
Three years ago now, 2022, an indie game known as OMORI made by a singular developer named OMOCAT was put onto the Xbox Gamepass.
However, only a year later, in 2023, OMORI was not only removed off the Xbox Gamepass, but the Microsoft Store as a whole, rendering it unpurchasable. Effectively, this locked out countless people from continuing their hour long saves, and to make it worse, OMORI's removal from the store was unannounced. No-one knew that their save files would be practically deleted.
OMORI's removal was a blow to the gut.
Thousands of hours of progress gone like the wind.
The porting effort to bring OMORI onto xbox in the first place was rendered useless.
Thousands upon thousands of users now can only ponder what the ending of the game was.
Around eighty-two achievements will never be claimed.
And yet, even despite these injustices to it's own consumers, Microsoft still yet has to tell us why OMORI was removed.
A life-changing RPG was delisted, as if it meant nothing. Yet terrible, low quality games stay up on the store?
Our Demands:
We demand for OMORI to be brought back to the Microsoft Store, we will not stop until we get what we want. We want for OMORI to be purchasable for thousands to millons of people once more. This game's impactful story is life changing. It deserves to see light once more.
