Game is good

That's what I've heard! I picked it up because y'all were very positive about it and my tastes align very well with B8's on this sort of thing.

Turns out one of the trees was actually this mean guy named BOSS in disguise. The playground has been designated a "no BOSS zone" because he apparently caused big problems last time we all played hide and seek. He takes offense to us playing h&s without him and so he fights us.

I didn't mention it before but the weapons my party is using are a stuffed animal, a rubber ball, a spatula, and a KNIFE. Also, OMORI cannot dequip the knife. I wonder if this incongruity is eventually going to be addressed. The fight against BOSS is pretty easy; I made him sad and then attacked over and over again. He did nothing until the 2nd or 3rd time I knifed him, then he said "hey that one hurt" (you know, that one specific knife attack was the painful one) and body slammed everyone to death (except for OMORI who held on with 1 HP and the game's sound effects got all cool and stuff [also he says "why are you still moving" which is pretty metal]). I stab him again.

BOSS lets BASIL go and BASIL says "I know it must be sad to see everyone else having fun without you, but you can't ruin their fun just because." Then BASIL takes down the poster. And no one seems hurt at all. So apparently combat isn't to be taken at face value

It looks like we only have 4 ability slots. I wonder if this is a Pokemon thing where you have to choose 4 moves, or if there will be a bunch of characters (doubt it), or if the move list scrolls, or if there are only 4 moves to learn. And attacks do Juice damage as well. Crazy. I like that emotions are status effects. It seems thematically appropriate for the game. I'm sure I'll know what they do soon enough.
