In the true ending, after you beat Omori you are given two ways to go inside the hospital. One goes up and one goes down, Sunny sees his happy dream friends, and they lead him up. While downwards is the shadow of Basil. Going up leads to the roof, this seems like it's Omori's last try to kill Sunny even though he won the battle. You cannot actually die here, I still feel like the fact that Omori tried to lure Sunny up there anyway as a last resort is a good touch to the game. If you follow Basil, the truth, he leads you towards the hospital room where Basil and his real friends actually are.

Honestly, I love how the game made it look so easy to kill yourself when at first it hurt literally everyone to kill Omori. It was an incredibly creative way to represent how in a time of desperation, the easiest way out is to die. With all of the terrifying tasks the player had to go through and seeing that option of dying again, it seemed so much easier. That was a scarily accurate representation of what it really feels like to want to die and its just- God the game was put together so well.

Anger itself is not evil, and can be adaptive. I think it's always important to remember that emotions can't be wrong; they just are. They require our validation and understanding and the same from others. Behavior is a different story. Behaviors have moral value and can be right or wrong. Some behaviors are somewhere in the middle, where they are neither the best option, but are acceptable in view of not being harmful and being the best someone can manage. But they can also be destructive, even perverse. They can have serious and lasting consequences. They can change the person who exhibited the behavior forever. That's where the need for control arises. Being in control of your behaviors, particularly when facing intense emotions, is both necessary and admirable. It's both self-preserving and moral. But control can be maladaptive too -- when we try to reject our emotions themselves. We can come to view emotions as immoral, and thus ourselves immoral for having them. We can feel like failures for not being able to avoid them or for our attempts to control them failing to remove them. This can be damaging to our self-image, or even build on self-hate and dysphoria. Thus, it's important to control our behaviors, and to learn to adapt to and, within psychological limits, change our emotional states, especially over time, with the right resources, but to accept, validate and even value them. To view any one of them as evil can be damaging, even with the healthy motive of not acting impulsively or destructively on them. For example, it is adaptive to feel angry when you are wronged, or taken advantage of. A good response is to take good measure of whether or not you are actually being wronged, and to react in a manner which preserves the self without causing undue or unnecessary harm. But it isn't wrong or bad to experience it in the first place -- even if you were mistaken about being wronged or taken advantage of -- as long as you don't react prematurely or disproportionately to that situation as a result. Emotions can be dangerous without mindfulness and control, but they are also indispensable, automatic, and adaptive. Emotions themselves never reflect a defect of character, or something to be ashamed or afraid of, as long as they are handled appropriately

One thing I really enjoy about OMORI is how the scares that occur in the dream world work bring you into the mindset of Omori. Its hard for Omori to enjoy his time in his dreamworld because he's just waiting for the next horrible thing to happen. Thats part of the reason why he's so cliff-faced and detached. The same thing happens to us where we find it hard to enjoy all the laughs and good times had by the characters in the dreamworld because we're just waiting for the next scare to happen at the most unexpected moment. Its almost like we're stuck in this constant loop of just..... Waiting for something to happen?

this game inspired me to reconnect with some friends I had been avoiding. I don’t feel comfortable sharing more, but I had a friend group of 4 other friends that I messed up really bad with. The things we had said and done to each other out of impulse and anguish left marks on each one of us. The four others stuck together after what had happened, but I couldn’t handle it. Just being around them brought up burning memories of us hurting eachother, both mentally and physically. At the time, we were all only 14-15. For about a year now, I was living in my own little bubble, purposefully isolating myself from the outside world, reminders of what we had done, and especially my own old friends. I took up instruments and gardening in hopes that I’d feel more complete again, but the feelings of emptiness wouldn’t leave me. Then, I picked up this game. When I finished the game, I never really related to either Sunny or Omori, but saw parts of myself in both of them. My hidden desire to reconnect, and emptiness in Sunny, and my desperation to cover up the painful memories in Omori. But the true ending of OMORI made me want to confront my own demons, no matter how painful. And so a few weeks later, I did. I started talking to them again, despite how much the memories hurt me. Our group is a very emotionally understanding one, so after a while I could say how I felt, and they understood. In that moment, I had expected to be attacked by them again for some reason, but instead they fully understood. They had been dealing with their own demons together. Now, I feel like the pain of those memories has left me, and I can’t say it’s like old times again, but I feel just as happy being reunited with them.

Reflecting back on this, I can't stop thinking about Kel. Sunny is the protagonist, but Kel is the whole reason Sunny had a chance to save himself. The hikkikomori route makes it clear that Sunny will always be tormented by SOMETHING, unless he's able to deal with the trauma. And he's only able to deal with the trauma because he knows he has friends that truly love him and would forgive him. And he only knows that if in those three days before moving, he actually experiences a reconnection with his friends in the real world. Which only has a chance to happen because Kel wouldn't give up knocking on Sunny's door and reaching out to let him know that he still cared about him.

I can't call the good ending as a "happy ending", especially when you realize that we have no idea how sunny's friends reacted to the truth, and whether they forgave him or not. Lastly, Omori is never gone, he will forever and ever be there, it's just that Sunny is finally deciding to not run away anymore from the guilt and the truth. He chose to accept the truth instead of be in denial forever. A fun fact, if you watered basil's flowers everyday in headspace, then the good ending will show you an extra scene with both sunny and basil exchanging tired smiles as their "something" shrinks away.

26:00 Another interpretation for the cutting open Mewo segment and how you can use your knife on yourself to escape, is that it's basically walking you down the mental thought process behind self harm(in this case, cutting with a knife). People self harm because they feel like they have no power in their situation and are often stressed out by something when they do it, and by harming themselves they "regain" a bit of power and control over their lives, by doing what's the "best" option in the moment that won't cause greater harm, it's the 'lesser of evils' compared to the alternative(in Omori's case, cutting yourself to wake up in order to avoid having to cut open your cat). It makes you think in the same way that people who actually self harm do.

In the game, even if you decided to kill the cat you nothing will happen. I think it describes how people can be trapped in their own mind. That, even if Omori killed the cat, it wouldn't change anything other than making himself feel more guilty, and making him commit su1c1d3 anyway.

I also sense a little hint of it being partly Mari's fault, because through little bits of her dialogue it seems she was kind and sweet and universally loved. But she was also very dedicated to her music, a perfectionist who "shut herself off in the piano room to practice the same piece, over and over, for hours" and who "put too much pressure" on Sunny for the recital with her. She also seems to have been the one who made the confrontation physical first after Sunny succumbed to the pressure and broke his violin (the second photo before he pushes her off, and after they are seen face to face at the top of the stairs). I don't know if there are ages anywhere, but Sunny can't be more than 10 or 11 when the accident happened, so 14 or 15 when they move. They were little kids, so this would have impacted him and Basil terribly. It was just an accidental push in the wrong place, and all their lives were destroyed. His sister seems at least 4 years older so she'd be 19 if she lived and it would make sense for Hero to be in college. It also seems to me that their parents know what happened. The shadow of a man about to cut the tree down says "you're no son of mine", and Sunny seems to be moving away with only his mother - so maybe his parents separated too. This would make sense in terms of the "happy family" portraits. His mother also says "you're my only son, I can't lose you too". So... Sadness all around. Mari putting too much pressure on her 10 year old little brother led to a regular sibling fight, which led to him breaking his violin, her trying to stop him walking away, him pushing her, her falling down the stairs, and all the happy memories and moments in Sunny's life ending. You can't really make this background story out unless you really pay attention to all the details and dialogue, but it makes it even sadder.

The Mewo room in blackspace gets even more meaning if you notice the sketchbook. Since the sketches change in blackspace, you can find a drawing depicting a knife being pointed at Mewo. That and the way Omori hesitates every time you respond yes to wanting to cut the cat open lead me to believe that Sunny/Omori has thought about killing Mewo before. Probably with a mindset along the lines of "You already caused someone's death, this wouldn't make a difference, right?" It used to be Mari's cat if I recall, so it probably reminded him of her. Maybe it would help him push away his guilt for a while, or maybe it would make it worse. In that room you have two choices. You harm the cat, nothing happens, you get no reward for it, and you have to stab yourself. Or you can cut that whole ordeal short and choose to stab yourself right away to spare the cat. Harming it is pointless. Sunny knows this and obviously didn't want to do it, but somewhere in the back of his mind, the part he hid away, are thoughts of wanting to end Mewo's life so the one reminder of his sister is gone. So his mind decided to let him keep that cat as company instead, to make up for that. It's why Mewo is always there in white space. Or maybe I'm reading into it too much, ha

@@arighostea Some people seem to get the impression that Basil was attempting a deliberate murder-suicide in that scene, but I think it's important to note that both he and Sunny were likely having a psychotic break with reality, and were therefore not entirely aware of their actions. Based off of what happens in the neutral endings and the fight with Sunny, we can assume that the suicidal pressure brought on by his accumulated guilt, feelings of abandonment, and overall stress buildup (especially upon seeing Sunny again/learning he was moving away/his grandmother passing away) led to Basil snapping, and once again pinning his negative emotions in this abstract concept of "Something," that, in his state, Basil viewed as the actual culmination of everything that hurt him. As a side note, I think it's possible Basil might have been prone to states of delusion and potential psychosis due to potential mental illness even before the events of the game, and it just likely gets worse under stressful circumstances such as these. Anyway, where I'm going with this is that Basil was not actively trying to kill Sunny. He was, from his perspective, trying to kill this delusion-manifested "Something" Basil had thought up as the culprit for his and everyone else's pain. Of course, Basil and Sunny were the ones responsible for this pain, in a way, which is why we can see how Basil's attempt of trying to kill it only leads to him killing himself in the neutral endings (the imagery of his blood being the eyes of the shadowy "Something" bolsters that interpretation). So if what Basil sees as his "Something" when he was alone is actually himself in reality, what Basil sees as Sunny's "Something" is actually Sunny himself. I doubt that if in his clear mind, Basil would ever want to hurt Sunny. In his delusional state, Basil was trying to "save" him by killing this "Something," that didn't even exist. So yes, the results might have been the same, but I'm sure that from Basil's perspective, rather than Sunny fighting for his life, it looked more like Sunny was trying to shield Basil from hurting this "Something," or perhaps Basil saw himself fighting with "Something," or maybe a mix of the two in his unstable state.

@@supremeoverlord0 honestly, I am persuaded Basil is just psychotic in general, almost none of your interactions with him have been normal, all of his portraits have something to me that spells "WATCH OUT" both real and not, and most of all, both his real and headspace self's stressed portraits are much more intense than anyone else's, with equal to them being sunny, who is most likely hallucinating just from his intense trauma, or in a weird metaphysical way, since both of them see the same thing essentially that's not there. Plus, which 12 year old stages a suicide? Sunny from the cut text of the photos and with this whole explanation from Basil, and him attempting to leave basil multiple times, does show he was not on with the idea at all. And Basil... well, he staged the suicide, and sunny helped him, because he is a kid that feels guilt and honestly at this point cannot think straight, kept saying Something did that to Mari, which was from the start an idea Basil created. Also the main reason I am saying that is because Sunny was the only one that had the image of something representing mari's hanged body. Basil's is not connected to her at all, as it's a monster eating him up. I cannot think Basil was mentally healthy at all before the incident, especially when in the end you see him getting physical and actually almost gouging out sunny's eye. Sunny at this point was breaking down and trying to protect himself. So in the end, I think that Basil is mentally ill from day one, and that this event just made him all the more crazy. And last point, the way he keeps speaking of the photos in his album and the text he wrote always seemed... very idyllic, to the point I think he was almost trying to hide something else in him, with the help of his friends. In conclusion, Basil needs a therapist.

@@theodoregeorgiou4565 I'm in agreement with this post in that I personally think that Basil likely suffers from Quiet BPD, which is a form of BPD that is high functioning, and mostly self-directed. Basil's serious attachment issues, the way he blows things up in his head, the extreme bouts of emotion, the outward emotional supression and constant attempts at retaining a form of positivity- to the point where the people around him see him as 'happy, sweet Basil', his idealization of the object of his affections (channeling the negative viewpoints he might have towards himself instead), and even his psychotic-break induced hallucinations (auditory and visual; although this is still on the rarer side), are indicators of that. This condition was likely formed from his neglect in his household and his parent's almost full-fledged abandonment of him. Of course, I don't know what his relationship with his grandmother was like, but it clearly didn't provide him the tools he needed to cope with his mindset. I believe there was also an implication that Basil was bullied and/or a social outcast throughout his crucial formative years. He likely only really had his grandmother to keep him company and provide any sort of positive attention. The fact that Aubrey, who was also a self-acclaimed outcast with abandonment issues, brought Basil to the group is very telling. Someone coming from her background was likely the only kind of person willing to reach out to him- because you know how kids can be when they latch on that kid to shun/bully. Following Sunny's withdrawal, I think it's also implied by Aubrey (in the real world segments) that he had been the only one (maybe besides her?) that kept Basil company at school, considering she said she saw Basil sitting alone at lunch following the incident. Basil's childhood prior to meeting his friends was likely mainly a vacant, lonely one. He likely had near-free reign to do what he wanted to while slipping past his grandmother's attention, which would be easy considering her age, and could have been exposed to mature concepts for his age, like suicide, perhaps from books/TV, etc. Due to his situation, it's completely likely that this manifested in Basil's personal entertainment of suicide from a very young age in order to cope with his situation. From personal experience, the more 'mature' a kid seems when it comes to their speech, mannerisms, and thought processes like Basil was at twelve (in comparison to say, Aubrey and Kel), the more likely they've been dealing with internal/external turmoil that made them grow up early. These suicidal tendencies are probably where the 'noose-tying' skill came about. When all of that pain came rushing back to him at the point of Mari's death at the hands of the person he admired the most, that was world-breaking for him. All those suicidal tendencies were then directed to attempting to 'fix' the situation. Because how had he lived his life previously when it came to his problems? Pretending they don't exist; making it go away. It worked with pushing down his negative emotions to appear as someone more "acceptable," and it worked with his parents and anyone around him never wanting to be near him- so why couldn't he do the same, was likely his thought process. Although Basil did probably still push down emotions throughout his friendship with the others, I'd like to be a bit more optimistic about it. Despite his idyllic-ness seen in the photo album and whatnot, I do think that finally having that positive support group in his life put Basil in a genuinely healthier place than he had been throughout the rest of his life. Of course, this was not a substitute for the tools he needed for his condition, but having a positive support group and lifestyle is very helpful. I'm of the opinion that the gardening hobby, although I don't know the extent his grandmother knew of Basil's condition, was likely encouraged by her as a way to vent his feelings, because I've read some articles where gardening is seen as a form of therapy for OCD and BPD, I believe. When this positive support circle was threatened due to the accident, Basil, in all of his rush and shock, likey reverted back to his suicidal ways, and tried to shakily pick up the pieces or what was left in his own way, pinning his stress on Something other than what he likely associated with the only source of goodness in his life. I will vouch for Basil in that I am of the belief he would not act out as violently as he did in the final confrontation unless under extreme stress, and still, even then, not deliberately. What actually happened was very cryptic considering Sunny's vague POV. There's a possibility that Sunny was trying to intervene from Basil killing himself at a point throughout the fight, which caused Basil to turn his blade on him. Who knows? Oftentimes, people that are mentally ill like this are more dangerous to themselves than others. You can see what the outcome was in the neutral endings. He was at his absolute worst throughout the game. He was already tortured by additional guilt, anxiety, and depression for four years, and his grandmother's unstable state likely made that anxiety peak. From his perspective, he was about to lose his last source of positivity in his life, and then it's implied that he did upon the last day (with his grandmother's spirit fading from the road that... Sunny could... see, somehow?), which, on top of everything else, was the motivator for locking himself in his room and deciding to do the deed. I would like to add that, although like many things in this game, it's founded on speculation, that besides from the obvious metaphor of the guilt "eating him up inside," that Basil's Something was indeed a part of Mari. Some, including myself, believe it was Mari from the position that Basil first saw her when he walked in on the incident, splayed out on the floor, her head likely lolling about from the implied broken neck. When Sunny moved Mari's body from the foot of the stairs (which was likely the thing that actually killed her- because even in the event that a neck fracture of the C1-C3 severity occurs, it would not necessarily kill the person upon impact. Sunny moving her body to pull her up the stairs likely pierced her central nervous cord and killed her), her body entered the post-death state of 'primary flaccidity' which was the state she probably remained in up to her hanging. This likely made her jaw slack, and her eyelids lose tension, which, as Sunny was struggling to pull her up the stairs apparently solo, might have caused Basil to see a deceased Mari with her mouth hanging open, and an eye briefly exposed- sound familiar? Anyway, that last bit doesn't really do much other than offer insight into the fact that Basil indeed felt major guilt and was likely disgusted with himself over what he did, just like Sunny, and was not necessarily a bad person, but rather a very troubled individual who ended up trying to cope with what he did by convincing himself he was 'saving' Sunny, but there's no real debate over that in your comment, so my point there is a little unneeded. So yes, Basil was likely undiagnosed with a form of BPD, and was never given the tools to cope with that, and acted desperately at every point we see him throughout the game because of his subsequent abandonment issues and psychotic breaks from the stress kicking in. (I reiterate though, that I am not a certified professional in psychological matters, so take what I say with a grain of salt. It's hard to diagnose a character you can't interact with.)

As someone with dissociative amnesia but hasn't fully recovered the blocked out memories.. this game struck a chord with me. Me and my therapist have discovered this amnesia after a year of exploring my current issues and childhood memories and finding that I hold a lot of it at arms length and have a sort of numbness to some of it. There's missing pieces that as much as part of me wants to remember, out of sheer morbid curiosity and in hopes that it'll somehow be the key to overcoming a lot of my current issues, my therapist has echoed what you said at the end of the video. Sometimes remembering is not always the best option. Whilst I thought it'd "help" me, the possibility that it would cause potentially more suffering is very real. There may be a day that a trigger will come along and break this illusion, but until then, I'm happy to live in this blissful ignorance that my protector brain has created for me to continue my life contently and without fear. My persona hasn't split and I don't drift into a dreamworld of escapism. I am just me, existing with a couple of years missing from my memory. Fragments of memories very rarely reach the surface of my consciousness, so Pandoras box seems to padlocked pretty tight. This may seem to be a anticlimactic and even sad end to my little story, but to me it's a happy conclusion. I've learned that the brain is complex and beautiful and its way of shielding me so I can live a relatively normal life. It means I can have close and intimate connections with my relationships and life partner, hold a steady job and have dreams and aspirations unclouded by the devastating trauma from my childhood. My close friends, my fiancée and therapist have a emergency plan for if Pandora box starts to open and I'm glad that that backup is there. We've had time to organise such because it was pre-planned whilst I am aware of the amnesia, but not currently burdened by the remembrance of blocked memories. Its a plan that I'm grateful is there, but I hope to never have to use. I wish you all have a wonderful life and go create some beautiful new memories ❤

The final boss fight against OMORI is one of the most fascinating fights in all of gaming, and here is something I wanted to say about it. OMORI is very much a game that explores escapism and what it means to escape. Sunny's entire dream world was constructed as an escapist coping mechanism, and OMORI could be read as a manifestation of Sunny's desire to escape to a time and place where everything could go back to normal and he could be happy with all of his friends again. However, the game spends its time unravelling this notion of escapism as Sunny once again emerges into the real world and is confronted with the real genuine memories of who these people are. One of the big things I think OMORI wants to highlight is the distinction between escapism and fond remembrance. OMORI wants Sunny to escape, to break away, to forget reality. Doing so, he doesn't have to confront the terrible things he has done and the pain he has caused everyone. However, when choosing to continue past the ugly mixture of truths, lies, deceptions, exaggerations, and vile that OMORI is spewing and choosing to accept reality, Sunny is able to fight back against these thoughts with remembrance. He looks back on these memories, though they are tinged with memories, and he remembers what he needs to live for. Right before the final fight Basil says this to Sunny about his photo album, "Hold those pictures close and remember what you want to protect". Sunny finds the strength to continue because he remembers the good in his life and that he can still fight for it. Things can never go back to the way they once were, but Sunny has great friends, and they will be there for him as much as he can be there for them. Thematically, in this final fight I think one of the hearts of OMORI (the game) is revealed. Escapism doesn't really give Sunny anything to live for. When his entire life merely becomes a means of accessing his fantasies, that's a dangerous road and in the end it is a rejection of Basil's advice. Cherishing your memories, letting them give you strength, and reminding you why the world needs you, while it requires you to confront this ugly truth, ultimately you are truly able to be there for your friends as they are in the present. There is so much more I could talk about with the brilliance of that final OMORI fight, or really the game as a whole, but I would be here for hours if I typed all that up. I just figured I would mention this little nugget of why I find OMORI so fascinating. Great video!

When I started to play OMORI, my dog was quite sick and I have to put him to sleep. A week later I stepped in that scene with Mewo, that upset me so much, that I cried a lot, and feel really desperate, but I find the stab option and without thinking in it I press it and get out of the room, I never had the thought of suicide being the easiest choice until you mention it, it truly is the easiest choice when you just want to end all the mess your brain is doing. Also I find really hard to read everything in the boss fight with Omori, because most of that statements in some point of my life I said it to myself, so it was just horrible hahahaha, when you see it, say it, words and thoughts become real, it's kinda scary.

The worst part about the Mewo room is that you dont even get to leave when you cut him open. I thought it was what I had to do, so I did it, to my own horror. Then I thought it would spit me back out to black space. Nope. Still had to stab myself. I think that's probably an illustration that someone in omori's situation might thinking causing pain to someone else will fix their own problems, but their problems remain anyway. But idk, I'm just theorizing lol

Ok, so I need to mention I’m going to discuss major spoilers. Omori hit me because I recognized the process. When I was a teen, I looked deep inside and fought my own “inner demon”. A force that protected me, kept me safe, and made the world simple. When I challenged it, it turned on me. It told me all the ways I was horrible, everything I was guilty of, every mistake, an every way I wasn’t worthy. And what makes that process absolutely terrifying is that there is no way to deny it, because it’s you. It’s the thoughts you keep from yourself, the you you know is there but pretend doesn’t exist. I accepted my inner demon, and overcame it then. It’s immensely empowering and it is my hope that everyone will one day achieve this. But.... I try to inspire everyone to be the best them they can be. To take every route to self improvement. But not that one. Facing your inner demon is dangerous. While I wasn’t actually ready to embark on that journey when I did it, I got lucky and managed it. Maybe I was wise beyond my years, maybe I had the right lenses to view it through, maybe I had a weak inner demon, or I was too stubborn to lose or maybe it really was a dice roll. Facing that thing in you can demolish you. And I know from what Omori brutally tells Sunny during the final boss fight that Omori is Sunny’s inner demon. I’ve had that fight (admittedly not that severe), and it took me to some very dark places. So I deeply recognize the value of your “sometimes ignorance is bliss” line. Do not force people down this road. Once they are on it, there is very little the common person can do to help that I can think of. In my experience the final showdown is accurate to a T. The inability to win a direct confrontation, the ability to persevere. The need to accept the worst of yourself to move on. But also the very real truth that you may indeed choose to not continue, and that sinister perverse protector in you will swallow you up in an inescapable well of condemnation. Thank you for the video sir! You have done well! And thank you for talking about it so I finally have someone I can talk about what it meant to me.

Same happened to me. Right after my kid was born, I started going through this. My journey and my demon was overcoming an abusive childhood that I had severely downplayed as normal, and having my child and raising them showed me that loving parents are not like the parents I had. That broke me. It took me 6 long years after my initial symptoms to actually heal. I am still healing, but at least now I am not suicidal or depressed. Sad, maybe, but not depressed, and that's a hell of a lot of progress. Also, I love being a parent. My kid is great. I am fixing myself by being the best I can be for them, and in turn, rewriting my own story. I was not a bad kid. They were bad parents.

(spoilers!!) Your interpretation of the Mewo room hit me like such a huge sack of bricks. I expected you to talk about the experience of going through with it, actually cutting open Mewo, and then STILL not being able to get out. And only then realizing you had the STAB option the whole time. I've always seen that room as a representation of Sunny and Basil justifying their own actions, how they didn't see any way out but to hang Mari even though there were much easier, smarter things they could've done (pretending it was an accident, etc). And when you got to the part where you realized you could STAB *before* you cut open Mewo, I was like, oh no, he didn't get the full impact, he didn't actually do it... and then you went a little further in your thought process. And wow. This game is such a masterpiece.

This game is painfully realistic. I've felt depression, rumination, dissociation, suicidal ideation, and ptsd. I'm doing far better now, but this game was able to bring back so many of those thoughts and emotions, and display them in such a profound way. That eddy of nightmares, as you pass through one door at a time, and experience some fresh horror behind every door is definitely something I experienced. Dissociation started as a way to escape from the pain of reality, but at some point it became an addiction and my brain used it as a way to make every single negative thought I had ever had a reality. Every night I would dream of either myself dying or the people closest to me killing themselves, and my "day dreams" weren't much better. It legitimately felt like death was the best option. The only reason I didn't pursue that option is because I didn't even have the will to get out of bed most days. The fact that this game was able to portray and communicate that feeling is truly incredible. I can't speak for the amnesia aspect, but the rest of it is incredibly spot on. Thank you for the video.

I think your closing remarks are spot on. It’s really a case-by-case thing, remembering isn’t always best. There are no doubt folks out there who unknowingly rely on these weird trauma response mechanisms to operate in their day-to-day. Honestly the greatest takeaway from my experience was the ability to moderately empathize with people blocking out much more serious traumas. I was super fortunate that my experience was painless and happened in a safe and controlled setting like a hospital, but not everyone has such ready access to licensed professionals who can help them understand what may have happened and how to deal with it.

Before I get into this, a movie I would strongly recommend is Dark City. It stars Kiefer Sutherland and even though it is well produced and budgeted (esp. the remake), it is so hard to watch that it’s effectively censored. You can buy it on Amazon Prime to stream and it’s well worth it. I’ve underwent something like Dissociative Amnesia and even though the memories (from summer 2013) that I had recovered were positive, my life flipped upside down for a few years after I recovered them (in early 2015). I’ve written a blog that explains what I believe happens to the brain when this occurs, whether it is any of the following, per se: dissociative amnesia, dissociative identity disorder, false memory syndrome, etc. Basically, the brain neurologically encodes high-dimensional data to explore but also validate its own memories: visuals, subject/object associations, scents, other sensory phenomena and also ”aggregate memories” formed when the brain is reflecting on its own memories. However, most people’s brains don’t have to deal with false memories (or amnesia), except in a few situations like being blackout drunk or undergoing anasthesia. In the latter, partial anasthesia, the brain is poorly encoding all that high-dimensional data. This means that the brain can’t authenticate its own contents when exploring them later on. As aggregate memories are created, they too can’t be contain enough connections to the high-dimensional mostly sensory data. This lowers the threshold that might cause the brain to reinterpret memories when exploring them (like what happens with the witness-recall problem). From here, the problems can cascade. The more emotionally relevant the memories are, the more one feels compelled to continue exploring them, leading to more aggregate memories that are even less connected to any of those original high-dimensional shards of the repressed memories. This causes a breakdown in the sense of self and in the experience of reality.

Just because I've seen people do this and minimalize this part... Obvious, MAJOR spoilers. No really, if you don't want spoilers, go back now. Some people have understated the way that Mari's death happens, some to the point they call it a _murder._ Specifically, the way that it spiraled out of control on *both* Mari and Sunny's part. Mari had been pushing SUNNY to practice, for hours at a time. For weeks at that point, if not months. Likely- however unintentionally- pressing Sunny's already existing anxiety issues and relative 'imposter syndrome.' (Keep in mind that all the others have things considered 'defining traits'... Sunny... doesn't, not to himself.) Likely in the way of innocent comments of, "don't you want to put on a good show for everyone?" Or "it cost a lot for these instruments, so we have to do our best, okay?" Inncoent statements, except that Sunny would have been comparing himself to Mari, who had been practicing longer. Sunny, I can almost guarantee, was having a panic attack at that moment, not because he broke the violin- though that did not help- but under the weight of of fear of not meeting expectations, and breaking the violin contributed to worsening this anxiety attack. However, his first step was *still* to try to get away from the stressor- which was, unfortunately, Mari- and did so by going upstairs. The stairs that, likely, he always had this tiny, ever present smidgen of fear, because "boy is this high, and I *really* hate heights!" We see this in game even. And it predates the incidents. And Mari was shaking him, and yelling at him. At the top of this staircase Sunny was already afraid of. If you've ever had a severe anxiety attack, reality can get... distorted. You can't tell if something is actually dangerous, or if it's just scary or just... too much. Too much and you need to get away, no matter what. You may even lash out, without quite realizing what you are doing... And it can, as it did for Sunny and Mari, have horrible, tragic consequences. What happened to Mari was not murder. At most, it could be construed as manslaughter. But in truth, it was a tragic accident. And this is, most likely, *why Sunny did not get in trouble.* It's entirely likely the police knew what happened. That they even told Sunny's and Mari's parents what happened- hence their father abandoning Sunny. There would be no reason to abandon Sunny if Mari had commit suicide. The police, generally- those not rotten beyond redemption- are not going to want to punish two blatantly traumatized children, one obviously turned into a shell of himself in the mere hours since the event. Basil- like many people who jump to the "Sunny murdered Mari" conclusion- likely had the same thought, born from childish over simplification of how the criminal system and justice system works. Sunny was already breaking down, if not broken, and Basil himself would have broken- as kind and sweet as he is- at the idea of Sunny going to jail on top of that. His plan was born from childhood naiveté, the dramatization of criminal justice that is so prevalent, and desperate fear and love for Sunny. Don't turn Sunny and Basil into monsters. They did it to themselves enough already. They were just as much victims as Mari. Even more so in the endings where they kill themselves.

It couldnt have been explained better, that is totally true, Sunny was pushed by Mari, not wilingly but i honestly think Mari may have lashed out to sunny during their practice because she was a perfectionist, therefore we can see that Mari pushed sunny a lot in one picture from the real world, in one description we can see that basil said "after some begging Sunny joined for practice". Am i the only one that is shocked by the word "Beggining" ? That did just show that even when Sunny didnt wanted to practise he would force himself for Mari which isnt great, i just feel so sorry everytime i think about this terrible accident and the awful consequences that two 12 yo had to bear.

28:00 in, when you're speaking about suicide, you had the screen go black. My face stared back at me in the reflection of my phone. I've recently been struggling again with suicidal thoughts. I felt like, as I looked into my own eyes, that you were speaking to me, commiserating. I think it helped me know even more than before that this feeling happens to me, and it isn't right. Thank you.

The entire bit with Meewo and stabbing yourself was such an uncomfortable section that I tried my hardest to forget about it as soon as possible, so to hear the parallel you draw between the 'best option available' and this scene; it was a beautiful and terrifying metaphor. The lengths that people will go to avoid hurting others, especially those they care about, not to mention the fact that Meewo trusts you completely, utterly helplessly, naïvely, trusting. Stuck and without a choice, you'd rather take the pain onto yourself than hurt those around you, even if it means shouldering that burden alone. Even if it's far too much to bare.

oh my god this is honestly one of my favorite games of all time so im so glad people are making omori content and not letting it die EDIT: I finally had time to watch the whole video bc I've been extremely busy and I just wanted to talk about how omori helped me fac my own trauma. Back in 2019 a very dear friend of mine died after being in a coma for a long time. To me it came very suddenly because nobody told me how bad she was, I was just 15 when this happened, and she was 15 too. For a long time I completely ignored how I was feeling about her death because I truly thought I was just wanting attention and I would disrupt everyone else's mourning. It wasnt until half a year later that I started to see a psychologist because I was experiencing very violent panic attacks and I was sleeping about 3 to 4 hours a day. That's when we realized most of the things that made me have panic attacks or gave me anxiety were things related to her passing. For example, I'm scared of my phone's notifications, be it the sound they make or having too much of them, because when she died my phone blew up from people telling me what had happened. I have also an intense fear of sleeping, because of an irrational fear that something may kill me while unconscious, and that's because my friend died in a coma. I accepted that her death had affected me, but not that this was a traumatizing event, because I thought that "that would be too much" and that my suffering wasnt nearly as terrible as some of her other friends, family and classmates. Then I played omori, and I felt extremely comforted in the character of sunny, and how he experienced trauma. I felt seen, in some ways. Especially how mari manifested in his dreams was very similar to what I'm going through, I'm still waking up in cold sweat after seeing anything closely related to that day, or even seeing a faint shadow of what she looked like. Omori made me confront the reality that what had happened to me was actually affecting me in very deep ways, and it WAS trauma, that cant be just swept under the rug. I'm better now, after more than a year I could finally bring myself to see pictures and videos of her. I can finally say her name and remember her face and voice and I truly feel much better.

I feel ridiculously lucky, but also like a horrible person. In my 2nd year of HS, one of my acquaintances very suddenly and unexpectedly died from a severe sinus infection over the weekend. Everyone around me was devastated, because they were an amazing person, but something clicked inside and I just felt... nothing. The school had an assembly to mourn her death and i still felt nothing. I even attended a church service (the only time I had ever attended church as I am not religious) dedicated to her passing with all here friends and people who knew her even less than I did crying their eyes out and I still felt *nothing.* My sister, who didn't even know her at all and was still in middle school was sadder than I was. Thinking about this makes me feel like a terrie person because I know I am supposed to be feeling sad but I just don't and I *don't know why.*

Omori is just so perfect and depressing in every way and I didn’t realize that was possible until I watched someone play it Kinda wish I got it myself, but I don’t have money, scare easily, and didn’t expect this particular horror game playthrough to impact me so much It’s just.. wow... the creators did such a good job with everything and I really have to thank them for giving us this emotional and meaningful and terrifying experience with some laughs along the way I’m not gonna get into any specifics in this comment, but seriously it’s such a great game and story and execution
