Thanks to everyone for checking out my new video today! OMORI is an excellent indie game filled with emotion, a literal battle of grief and guilt. Have you played it? Did you like it/hate it? Let me know your thoughts below!

So let's recap. You like Mother ... And OMORI... You're awesome man, continue posting your videos!

Basils reaction isn’t that weird, there’s been a bunch of cases where kids kill other kids by accident and they don’t think in getting help, they get nervous and try to cover it, to hide it, there’s even been cases where parents saw what happened and they also react by making it look like an accident or hiding the body. Basil response it’s a common one for a kid he’s age, bc he thinks about it like “My friend did something really bad, he can get in a really big trouble, and even I can get in trouble, but I don’t want him to be hurt, he’s a good friend, so I have to help him”. It’s like when you have siblings and one of them gets really hurt playing, but everyone agrees on not saying anything bc none of them want to be in trouble with their parents

I played it on release. Was a really neat experience

[SPOILERS BELOW] Basil played Doki Doki Literature Club, that’s why he staged it as a suicide. duh

Fantastic video, Press Start! Thank you for putting all the time and effort into this. Well worth the wait.

Loved this game. It broke me, build me up and then broke me even more.

THE QUIRKY EARTHBOUND INSPIRED RPG ABOUT DEPRESSION

Omori really is a experience that everyone needs! It give me a lot of feelings and man... I'd like to erase my memory to play the game like the first time ;-;

A few things about the video.. (HEAVY SPOILERS): "Did the friends forgive Sunny?" ... my answer to that: If they hadn't, would Sunny have been able to smile warmly at Basil in the 'secret' cutscene? If they hadn't forgiven Sunny, he surely would have been wrecked by it. "Why did Basil stage it?" ... Basil considered Sunny his absolute best friend, and would do absolutely anything and everything for Sunny. Sunny just accidentally killed his sister. Basil was afraid that Sunny would be in huge trouble, like, go to jail trouble and Basil's first instinct was to cover the whole thing up by making it look like she did it to herself. Basil only wanted to protect Sunny, and that's what he did for four years. In fact, most of Basil's mental anguish comes from the fact Sunny shut himself in and seemingly avoided Basil for years. "Were Sunny and Basil really that close? Why did everybody forget about Basil in Headspace?" ... Omori is in control of Headspace. Omori's job is to protect Sunny from the Truth at all costs. Basil keeps uncovering the truth, and every time he does, Omori is forced to banish him to Black Space to keep the truth hidden until the truth seeps out so much he's forced to reset Headspace again. And again. And Again. And Again. But... the cycle that we players play through, Headspace is irrevocably damaged by the mother deciding to move. In a room in blackspace, you find a ringing telephone, and a bunch of beds. "Stranger" (the Basil shadow) says that "something made the truth slip, and the hole that it made won't stop growing". What was that something? Checking the phone tells you that: "Sunny... we're moving away." ... those words, said by Mom to Sunny, shattered Sunny's stable loop and caused Headspace to start deteriorating to the point that not even Omori could keep it together. It's quite likely that Omori decided to punish Basil in Headspace because he keeps uncovering the truth.

I tried it out around January because my friend recommended it to me, now it's one of my favorite games and I'm on my 3rd playthrough. Definetly an amazing game

I swear you deserve more views and subs your underated asf, amazing video man :)

That video intro looked so cool!

Great video! Bought the game when it came out but not had a chance to sit down and properly play it yet! Looking forward to it whenever I have time to really sink into it!

I guess this has spoilers if you're reading it before playing/watching the video. I think what contributed to Basil thinking up of the suicide was the fact that he had serious adandonment and loneliness issues due to his parents almost never being around him. I wouldn't be surprised if he already had plenty of depressive and negative thoughts, and his only friends were the only things keeping him going, Sunny being his best friend. So that lead to him rashly thinking up of any way to try and stop everything from falling apart. I'll admit it still has some weird elements to it, but I don't mind it. Then again, this is just what *I* think

I played Omori in it’s launch window and man ever since playing this game it’s become one of my top 3 favorite games ever made Very good video

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's Omori

Great Video , Omori changed my perspective of the world.

waiting 6 years is more than worth it, its perfect in everyway

I agree with this video. Omori has changed my perspective for life. It really helps your mental health.

basil is the best omori character ngl literally saved the entire plot

I gotta check it out!

Played four months after the release, one of the best games ever played

I think you'll really like this game called LISA: The painful. It's a really good game and i don't know how to describe it but it is a very dark RPGmaker game. I played it maybe 5'ish months after playing through omori and I consider it to be on par with LISA. You should definetely check it out if you have the time!

"No hamburgers in the trash." .... oh but there's Ramen Noodles in every single Toilet in Headspace.

"sleeping your life away as usual" "i gotta have a good dream"

Game of the year! 10\10 story... Cried three times. 😭

When I heard that the words was from basil I-I screamed XD

In all honesty tho, I wish there was more to Omori in the middle. The pacing was a bit off personally. Still cried in the end tho 😅 Climax and (true) ending was brilliantly executed

0/10 You didn’t include Final Duet. Nah, this was a great video. Keep up the good work!

Hey any chance you could do a video analysing Pocket Mirror? It's a free psychological horror game that's done with RPG Maker. It's really good.

Spoilers below: It's strange for me to say this, since I've spent an absurd amount of time agonizing over minute details of Undertale's plot, but I find speculative theories about OMORI really detract from my enjoyment of the game. Some stories have ambiguities so the audience can piece together the full picture like a jigsaw puzzle, but it seemed pretty clear to me that the ambiguities in OMORI- like how Basil was capable of staging a suicide, or what the ultimate outcome of Sunny's confession is- exist ether because the answer is irrelevant to the story, or because ambiguity is the point. In response to you asking whether Basil's actions were "realistic", I would simply reply "no." It's unlikely that such a thing would happen. And yet, completely regardless, it still _could,_ and OMORI is a story about what the consequences would be if it did. Asking whether Mari was somehow alive when they hanged her is doubly irrelevant. Imagine if we somehow did know the answer. Would it change literally anything aside from substituting [guilt*1000] with [guilt*2000]? Would [guilt*2000] make the game _more emotional?_ I don't know man, I don't get the appeal. I only write this, btw, because you dropped that unexpected block of speculation into what seemed to be a thematically-focused "why you should play" style video. It really stuck out to me, but otherwise the video was well done.

Only other two games made me tear up like this. Pokémon mystery dungeon explorers of sky and Mother 3. *Spoilers The "good ending" was left ambiguous on purpose. Forgiveness is not something that can be given easily, not for situations like this, maybe it cannot be given at all no matter how much time passes. It's more like, "this is a good as it can be", our past sins cannot be erased and cannot be kept forever and will weigh down on us for as long as we refuse to let them go. Personally I don't think Sunny and Basil can be forgiven entirely, but I do think time will heal the wounds enough to acknowledge that what happened really happened and move on.

I would like to play it, but I have a blocked laptop, that means I can’t install steam

8:08 - There is, however, ramen found in toilets.

16:34 How did you even find a picture of her? She said before she doesn't like having her personal identity revealed online

there should be a mother like game were the villlan wins at the ned o do they? because a sequel happens with more lore about it

Still waiting for the nintendo switch release. Btw great video ;)

As much as I recognize that OMORI is a great game, I can't really handle jumpscares. At least I bought the game. :P

Nice intro

OMORI Gigachad 19:14

Basil's reaction didn't stem from wanting to help. He was there when Sunny pushed Mari down the stairs. He saw it all, and his thoughts at that moment was probably that Sunny is gonna take the blame for this. Sunny is Basil's best friend and more than that, from what we know of his family life, Sunny was probably the only person who was constantly there for him since it was stated that the two of them hung out together much more often. In fact there is text somewhere in the game where And if the truth came out, he was afraid of what would happen to Sunny, of what their friends would think, of whether or not he could still be with Sunny, of whether Sunny would still be there for him and be his friend if he told the truth. His action to protect Sunny was ultimately a selfish action which is why he's just as wracked with guilt as Sunny whose action came from thoughtless anger. This is what makes the true ending's secret cutscene important, because we already defeated our something before even entering Basil's room. That last cutscene was from Basil's perspective and what we are seeing was his own "something" and it was Sunny's first genuine smile that defeated it. That here in front of him is a person who he has hurt physically, emotionally and mentally even if it was unintentional, giving him a genuine smile, the smile of the best friend he longed for all this time finally allowed him some peace of mind. Edit: I'm adding this quote from Basil just to get the point across even more. BASIL: And these... These are white tulips. Tulips aren't very flashy plants. They're not too big or small, not too elaborate or flamboyant. If I could put it in another way... I guess I would say that... They're comfortable, simple, modest, and perfect. Just like SUNNY. Basil thought of Sunny as "perfect", and Sunny in his headspace actually removes this word in his recollections.

Ah yes, the game that saved my life.

Yeah, I will not play this. I'm an isolated schizophrenic, living in a fantasy world my illness provide me with. I've lost someone to suicide, I have myself tried to end it. I'm only this aware of it all as I'm heavily medicated now. Antipsychotics is a hellish medicine but the option is to surrender to the illness.

You should really talk a bout the french rpg "off"

Omori

Where my spoiler warning

I played it and got stuck many times and drroped it

I'm putting this here cuz the community post, Joe mama

Play the game first because there are spoliers. A spoiler alert would have been nice. -_-

Why boilerplate content warning but no HUGE SPOILER WARNING for that 6:15 drop? "Why Everyone Should Play" would make one think this is addressed to people who haven't played yet I'm 3-4 hours and a few beats in and I hadn't heard that yet 😔 I'm out of this video

You literally spoiled the entire plot since the beginning 🗿

omori doesnt have diagnol walking :(

Damn, spoiler warning pls

no i dont think i will

I did not care for Omori. Like it's good, but I've experienced better horror games and WAY better MOTHER-likes and turn-based RPGs. The pacing in Headspace was awful, I found myself rushing through The Last Resort and Humphrey just so I could get back to the real world where stuff actually matters. As soon as I learned there WAS a real world and you weren't just interpreting the story through Sunny's dreams, I stopped caring about Headspace since nothing there matters at all and it's very boring until you're about to enter another horror segment and Headspace starts falling apart around you. Black Space was probably the best part of the game, tied with the final boss. But overall, it feels like there was a tight story and set of events but the team thought it wasn't enough, so they packed it with filler because so many dumbasses like to criticize games for being short, regardless of how fun they are or the replay value. Now Omori has very little. It's too long, it's not actually fun to play, and the replay value hardly exists because you can see both the good and bad endings just by continuing from the last save point in the game, and the "alternate route" changes nothing until the last 5 or so hours of the game, so unless you have a save right from before you're given the choice to open the door on the first day, you have to replay roughly 15 HOURS of the game to see that alternate route. As for your recommendation against people with depression playing Omori, I disagree, and think it's a subjective thing. I have clinical depression, and I got through it no issue [except generally disliking it]. Though I will say this is one of very few horror games to make me feel sick with that reveal of the truth even though I already had it spoiled for me. But there are WAY worse works for if you have depression or suicidal thoughts, I won't name any though as to avoid tempting someone's curiosity and causing them to feel like shit after looking one up.

nah n-word

Wtf is omori

I just kinda think it's ableist

I really like the Mother series, but this looks like twee depression fetishism that seems so common in indie games now. I have a strong feeling this game works better for those in their teens/early twenties.

"Accidental Murder" is not a thing; if it's an accident it's not murder. The real evil they did was make up the disgusting lie that they did and ruin the name of his sister more, whom he claimed to love. P.S. suicide is never the answer; it, without a doubt, 100% of the time sends one to Hell; be strong and don't give in.

i hate this game so much man
