CONTENT WARNING:

Basic information about the mod:

• FALLEN HERO is a HERO-focused mod which explores his grief, trauma, and depression after MARI’s death. In particular, it covers three consecutive days of HERO’s life nearly 1 year after the incident, concluding with HERO and KEL’s argument (with a couple of bonus scenes afterwards).

• A mandatory-only playthrough is around 3-4 hours, whereas a 100% one is a lot longer (approx 6-8 hours). These numbers could vary a bit depending on the player but this should be a good estimate.

• There are three separate dream worlds segments, and three real world segments, with a somewhat lengthy blackspace-like area as well. I’ve decided to make HERO’s "headspace" quite distinct from SUNNY’s, due to HERO being more mature as well as his way of coping being different. It’s overall going to be more realistic and focused on interpersonal interactions/comedy rather than exploration and fighting.

• There are a few fights here and there, but overall the mod is quite low in combat (since HERO is a character who fundamentally dislikes conflict). However, I have added a lot of fun little mini games and puzzles (some of which are shown in the trailer) to fill that void!

• The OST will consist of tracks from the original game as well as my own compositions (almost 30!). Same for the artwork, many of it is reused assets for the sake of saving time but there is quite a bit of stuff I made completely myself.

If you are curious PLEASE watch the trailer. I do not think these screenshots (which I made sure to be shots NOT in the trailer) etc can do the mod justice. Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TlGuUbXZKs

IMPORTANT technical stuff to read before installing the mod:

• You will see that there are two mods available for download here: FALLEN HERO (the main one) and Fallen Hero Save Safety. Install both of them, and keep save safety enabled even when fallen hero is disabled (if you have any fallen hero saves). When safe safety is enabled and FH is disabled, the faces on all your FH saves will become regular pictures of HERO in vanilla omori.

• You will require a mouse for a couple sections in the mod. If the mouse controls are not responsive for whatever reason, a simple reboot of the game should fix it (if not then contact me). PLEASE save before you go for cooking (just in case something is wrong with the mouse controls - everything was ok on my playtests but it’s better to be safe).

• On the first launch with my mod, OneLoader will tell you to “Please restart the game”. This is normal and occurs due to an overwrite in a config file (package.json). Just launch the game again and everything should be fine.

• This mod is compatible with Save & Load Plus, however when you save on FALLEN HERO, go to vanilla omori, and try to open the save menu it will freeze if you don’t have the save safety mod enabled. This is due to it trying to load mod-only images that are not available. So, please keep the save safety mod enabled if you have ANY fallen hero saves or else your game will crash. I am really not sure if my mod is compatible with other mods besides S&L+, as I have yet to test them. So please be a little careful. If you run into any such compatibility errors, please tell me and I will do my best to fix them as soon as possible. Anyways, to minimize the risk of such possible errors, I strongly recommend to just keep every mod disabled except for FH, S&L+, and Save Safety while playing this mod.

• My mod was made and tested on a monitor with a high bit-depth, there may be some color issues on monitors of a lower-quality. If some sections feel too dark/bright or very hard to see, please let me know and I will change them.

• There may be some errors when switching from full-screen and normal view. These were encountered during my playtesting, however the same error was happening even when my mod was disabled, so I am really not sure if my mod is the cause of it. And the glitch wasn’t happening when loading my mod on RPG Maker MV, only on steam OMORI. I don’t know if it’s innate to the mod or if something is just wrong with my steam, but beware of this and make sure to save frequently. If you are encountering such glitches when specifically loading my mod, please let me know.

• If you run into any other glitches/errors or something just feels off, please contact me and I will fix them asap.

• You can reach out to me through discord @moonsharkmc (or msg on my forum thread in the MODSPACE discord server) if you have any queries, feedback, or would like to report bugs. I will do my best to keep improving this mod as much as I can. I want it mod to be an enjoyable and immersive experience for everyone!

Sincerely, MoonShark
