It isn't, but I recommend answering if it happens again.
Yeah I definitely will. Honestly don't know why I didn't, what was I expecting? I think I just wanted to see if defying the game was good since listening to it made me puke after eating raw steak

It's interesting reading your speculations on the story so far.
What are some examples of other games in the same genre as what you're expecting from Omori? I think the game does have a definite "lineage" that's easy to see, partially from Earthbound-influenced games like you've said (it reminds me of both Undertale and Lisa at different points,) and also older indie games like Yumi Nikki.
I would definitely second the recommendation that you answer the door.
It's cool how it does a lot of the same things as Undertale and Lisa. The spooky things you see out of the corner of your eye and the different-tempo music and everything. I love how Earthbound-likes have an actual vocabulary of techniques now.
Other games that have the same general plot arc I'm predicting:
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass I don't even remember if this is a twist or the core conceit of the game. I mean, it's kind of in the title. It's another RPG Maker game that is really really similar in a lot of ways. I mean, really REALLY similar. In a LOT of ways. I didn't really love the actual gameplay, so I watched it on YouTube instead of finishing it, but it's got great art and music and lots of feelings. The main character's whole thing is empathy. There's kind of a Persona-style switching thing where your stats get bonuses and you get certain abilities for being a vampire vs a sunflower or whatever. And also your moves have cooldown timers, which is interesting.
One of the stories in What Remains of Edith Finch , which is an interesting series of short walking sims about a family whose members are cursed to die young. It's told from the perspective of a small child who gets sent to bed without dinner, eats poisonous things (toothpaste and mistletoe), hallucinates, and dies. very curse. much supernatural. Totally different tone but it's still a cool story.
