Now they have to get accustomed to Earth’s gravity, 30 years of missed history, and a completely different social system. Sir Reginald was forced to perform emergency experimental surgery to save his life by transplanting his head onto the body of a Martian Gorilla. I was glad to see the historical context of the book, a bit of history there for readers, and Walliams actually reins in some of the usual silliness with no Raj or disgusting lunch menus. The lonely Ruth sees an UFO flash across the sky through her telescope and accompanied by her dog creeps out of her creaky attic to see what it is – this despite her ogre aunt who belongs to the genre of Cinderella’s Ugly Sisters and all the wicked stepmothers across fairy tale genres.

This is even lampshaded during the post-battle cutscene, where he tells the group that his fight concludes the demo. From this point, this is the last time OMORI and friends will ever see SPACE EX-HUSBAND as the plot soon diverges from the HEADSPACE story, unless the player is on the OMORI Route.
