Omori [NS, PC, PS4, XBO, XBXS] – Humphrey / Various

Media: video game: “Omori”
Developer: Omocat
Platform: Computer, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One

Note: As always, support your indie developers. Purchase a physical copy of the game here, or visit the Steam page here.

Description: 

During the Headspace portion when the game is Two Days Left, the party will travel to Deeper Well, and meet the whale known as Humphrey. He will mention that Sweetheart, one of the game’s antagonists, has entered his body to meet with the sea witches that live in his stomach, and welcomes Omori and friends to enter his mouth, too.

Inside, Humphrey demonstrates the ability to shift his insides to manifest villi-like protrusions that bizarrely, have faces, are sentient, share his awareness and are all also known as Humphrey.

Omori and friends navigate through Humphrey’s innards and stomach acids to catch up with Sweetheart, and at certain points, can witness named NPCs falling into acid – specifically, a named Sprout Mole NPC called Big Molio who if not rescued, will simply disappear, and a recurring NPC known as Snaley jumping into acid, believing it to be an inviting pool of water. After witnessing Sweetheart meet with all three sea witches, later known as Slime Girls, the party is able to access the lower floor of Humphrey’s gut, and are transported there by being swallowed by one of Humphrey’s large buds, as if it was an elevator.

In the lower levels, the Slime Girls are fought as a boss, and once defeated, Humphrey will complain of overwhelming hunger. With nothing with which to feed him, the Slime Girls fall prey to a giant Humphrey bud that forms under them, chewing and devouring them.

The party then must fight Humphrey in a series of boss fights. The second of Humphrey’s battles is against Humphrey Grande – an amalgamation of Humphrey buds that when near-defeat, will swallow the party and initiate the third phase of the boss fight, against Humphrey (Face), the backdrop of which shows bones of previous prey. Bizarrely, in this phase, Humphrey will continue to swallow the party, a group attack showing a large mouth advancing toward the fourth wall, as the party is sent deeper and deeper into the gut of the whale each time he does this.

Once defeated, the party is swallowed again and wind up in a photorealistic mouth – a deeper mouth than Humphrey the whale’s actual mouth, where they will initiate a fight against the fourth phase, Humphrey (Uvula), who can be defeated in a single hit. After doing so, the party is then regurgitated out of every mouth that swallowed them, demonstrating the bizarre, bizarre anatomy that is Humphrey, and are eventually ejected out of his blowhole.

If playing the Omori route during One Day Left, it is possible to re-enter Humphrey by first feeding him a Giant Check, acquired from Mr. Jawsum. The Slime Girls can be found inside, and side quests to restore their bodies can be completed.

Hungry Shark [iOS] – Shark / Various

Media: video game: “Hungry Shark”
Developer: Future Games of London
Platform: Apple iOS

Note: This game has been delisted at the time of writing.

Description:

The shark must be controlled to eat fish, sea birds, humans, penguins, jellyfish among many creatures, often displaying a pun or tongue-in-cheek message (such as ‘Aqualunch’ after one eats a scuba diver). As a result of feeding, the shark grows in size to notable proportions though it does not need to be bigger than the prey to devour it, unlike in most games of a similar nature.
