Shout-out to GoldFish621 at 2:59:29 for saying "Hey guys I just joined, what did I miss?" as the narrative reaches the end of the climax, phenomenal comedic timing.
I did this a bunch of times when I was doing my playthrough, my gf was watching me play and she had played the game before me. Somehow I guessed at least 80% of what was going to happen 💀
Carson: "I have a feeling this game is gonna leave a _huge_ pit in my stomach" left one in me for about a week afterward. even now, just mentally going over the series of events still hurts but it's the good kind of hurt. it's not called *_good_*_ grief_ for nothing
Omori is my all time favorite game. I would strongly encourage everyone to play and experience the game in its entirety before watching this video. It is a masterpiece, and absolute 10/10. You will regret not experiencing this game first hand. I’m glad to see more people are finding this game.
@@chainsaw8507 I really liked it and i honestly prefer the graphics to games like fallout 4. The story was fun and I never encountered bugs that actively hurt my gameplay, but I think it is either a really good hit or miss with most people.
Never had a game fuck with me so much after the ending. That feeling after the credits rolled was indescribable. So glad that you played this not only so you yourself could experience it, but also so a bunch of others can be introduced to this game as well. I’d HIGHLY recommend experiencing the game for yourself first if you’ve got the time and money to spare, you won’t regret it. I’ll remember the impact this game had on me for years to come. A genuine masterpiece of a game.
Omori is in my opinion the peak of the Earthbound inspired genre. I really love it and would be very surprised if anything ever tops it for me. Delta rune might once its finished, but we’ll see

That feeling of heading back into this fabricated dream world with everything you know about the real world in game just breaks what you first experienced in headspace.
This game is my absolute favorite game of all time. It is a masterfully crafted experience that will make you cry. I would recommend it to anyone, even if they seem disinterested at first. Do not look up anything about this game, as even spoiler-free reviews I’ve seen can ruin it for you. This game has changed me. It’s a hard feeling to describe, but you will know what I mean after you play it. PLAY OMORI.
I dunno, I played it but didn't really enjoy it. I can see how a lot of people would enjoy and need a game like this, but I just didn't. Maybe it's just because I prefer more fast-paced games or something but this game didn't really change my perception on anything.
@@smalltok4638 it doesnt have to but some people apparantly view some games like this as if they change something in you. in my >opinion< its just crack talk because i cant imagine that whatsoever (yes i played it)

Didn't really work out for me, I guess it really depends if you've learned to not get attached to characters. There's a lot of anime/games/movies that ruin the experience, especially those with emotional deaths. You don't need to have spoilers to have a ruined immersion.

He passed before you made your return, and I know he would be so happy to see you playing his favorite game. Watching this video makes all the memories flow back and I feel better now. Thank you, Carson.
The ending/twist this game had was insane. I was in total denial when Carson slowly started to piece it together. This game will stick with me for a while. Thanks for making this :D
Chat thought he was dumb for not realizing it sooner. I think it’s such a hard thing to accept, that it doesn’t come easy to believe. I don’t blame him for not realizing
year late but it honestly makes me sad that carson is stuck with one of the worst chats ever bcs i feel like he really was getting into it but had to play it as nonchalantly / not serious as possible because chat expects him to be be funny and crack jokes about the game only i honestly hope he got to replay it / get more into it in his own free time without chat like he said
I’m gonna watch this after Omori comes out on the switch, because I’ve heard it’s good but I don’t want spoilers, I’ll watch this once I’m done, thanks Carson! Edit: I beat it and I think I need therapy
Idk why but always love peoples reaction when they get to the truth album part. They're denial at first but then they are absolutely shocked when they complete the album.
I've lost so much in 2021, it's taken me half a year to get over losing one of the best friends I've ever had; and so much more beyond that. I've had to go through it all with little to no help and no therapy either. I'm getting into psychology studies so I can help as many people as possible who were just like me, who feel like they lost everything and will never have anything ever again. here is a tip for people in a depressive state: they won't see a happy future what so ever, you have to focus on the present with them and instead of saying "there are better days ahead of you" just take life one step at a time with them. like everything, it's a process so be patient with them and they will be patient with you. help eachother
Late, as always, but I feel you. It was around 2020 for me. Instead it was my brother and I. I didn’t have therapy, I didn’t have help. It was my thoughts and a brother who had just tried to commit suicide. I felt like I had lost everything too, and you are right. I don’t know who, where, or how you are now. Any of you reading this. But don’t give up. NEVER give up. NEVER swallow it down. Let it linger, let it go, let it listen, let it be, let it struggle, but NEVER give up. Love yourself, and imagine yourself as an amazing, beautiful person… Then realize that that is who you are now. Or who you will be. It’s true
⚠️SPOILER WARNING⚠️ I’ve said this before, but I love the foreshadowing in Omori. The way that Omori is scared of heights and stairs is like a physical manifestation of Sunny’s lasting trauma from the accident with Mari. It makes sense why he has an aversion to those things because Omori is a representation of his subconscious, and his subconscious still correlates heights/stairs with Mari’s death. It’s so well done.
The first Something is a beautiful trick of the game. Heights is the first fear you have to conquer, early in the game when you're still confused about everything. When you don't have the clues to make any real association. The shadows and the Something are explicitly associated with hands. Spiders and drowning have much more obvious symbols to represent them, but for some reason heights is associated with hands. Something shoves Sunny, Something taunts Sunny as he falls, and it's never clear why, not until the very end.

15:30 in all seriousness, they way Omori incorporates plot, foreshadowing, snd characterization into tje battle system is incredible. The emotion sprites and follow-up skills alone tell you so much about these characters!
when I first started this video I thought I wasn't gonna enjoy it, it was just gonna be another game about depression. But soon after I think the first hour I was already loving it. It was so much more than any other game, I soon completely forgot about making jokes and fun of it. I was loving it, and I think even if watching a video about the game makes me feel like this. It is truly a good game, I just got it and even after watching it I want to play it. This game is truly one of the best I have to think.
This game was just so brilliant. It has become my favorite game of all time before even leaving the prologue. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PLAYING IT BLIND. This game will make you feel so attached to the characters, and make you feel such strong emotions. I don’t want to say much more, just know that it has serious themes, but they execute them soooo well. I could talk about this game forever but as I said, you should experience it yourself. It is truly a masterpiece among “quirky Earthbound-inspired RPGs”.
*SPOILERS!* It's just like every game Carson plays he always amazes me. He regularly finds bugs and breaks games. He makes things that shouldn't be funny become funny. And now he somehow got the True Ending on his first playthrough. Im just telling u guys... He knows something we don't. He became to powerful...
Seeing the gameplay in your streams is what eventually drew me to play the game, and honestly, I'm so happy that you got me into it. I love the game so much- I am absolutely addicted to it. The writing and the foreshadowing all the way through, with all the little details... It's a true masterpiece, and I don't think a game has ripped my heart out so violently like OMORI has ever before. To anyone watching, even if you watch the whole thing, Buy the game and play it. It's so good.
it feels so strange, watching that playthrough with you and like going through the whirlwind of emotions it fueled in me made me feel like it was such a communal/connective/intimate experience with everyone and now having to turn my phone off and go back to life as normal is making me feel strange.. like it wasn’t real.. anyways..
Damn dude, for the longest time I've wanted a creator I watch to play Omori, because I know I wouldn't have time to appreciate it properly playing myself, but can put a let's play as background noise and easily go back if I miss anything important. I recently got recommended Merg's playthrough which I'm partway through now, and then this comes up. I'm torn now, do I watch this shortened version now from a creator I'm more familiar with, or finish the 30+ hour one with a creator I didn't know but am now enjoying, first?
@@TitaniumRW nice, I think I will watch both, it doesn't really matter if I take a year to do it because it's not like the game is brand new, I'll just have to remember Carsons video for afterwards
Watching this video, the photo album reminded me of the album from "UP" when at the end of it, Ellie wrote, "That's for the adventure, now go have a new one!" Watching further into this, closer to the end holy shit I've never wanted a group of characters to be happy this much before I got to the end, This game has touched my heart and got me to cry for the first time in a while. That was beautiful...
thought i could stay strong through this one but i guess not the final picnic at mari's grave got to me at 2:25:57 and so did the music at the end at 2:56:49
Nice, when I first played Omori I didn't think much of it. It quickly caught me with the mystery, humor and especially the hanged man game which only fuel'd my curiosity. By the last two hours of the game I was in tears trough all 120 minutes as well as after the ending to which my response was just sitting and staring as the credits rolled, music played and I was left in a bitter sweet state, same feeling I had at the end of my favorite show. I highly recommend playing the game for Yourself, but I guess experiencing it with your favorite creator doesn't miss the mark by far. **SPOILERS** I got the good ending, Basil and Sunny survived, I confessed to Aubrey, Kel and Hero what happened with Mari, and freed myself as well as Basil of the guilt that lurked and followed us in the shadows trough the entire game. It also somewhat made me feel better as I saw a flower growing on the stump of that cut down tree. I don't have a favorite game of all time, there are those that I treasure with all my heart and those which were fun but haven't made that much of an impact on me... Omori was and will always be in my treasured memories.
I took your advice and bought it on the day you uploaded this video. A little over seven months later, I finished the game today and binge-watched this whole playthrough straight after. I knew you would appreciate the bizarre humor of the game and what a journey it was, both playing the game and watching your video. The game was a rollercoaster of emotions, but in the end I'm glad I got to experience it without any influence from spoilers first. Thanks Carson 🤍
yo Carson. I’ve spent nearly all day watching this video. Rewatching, going over certain parts again and such. Let me say, it has been great. Good job to whoever has edited this, it makes the character development so much easier to understand. Good Video. Keep videos like this up Carson 👍
Oh damn you actually uploaded a video form of it! I watched all the vods because I was having such a good time watching your reactions to everything. I love this game so much
legitimately my favorite game ever, i’m slowly going insane. if i see long hair i think “omori” if i see stairs i think “omori”. i’ve already done both routes and i’ve gotten all achievements (except like 2) and i can name the majority of the songs just by hearing them. help me god.
I just wanted to quickly say thank you for playing this. It really made me feel a lot better right now, but I don't think I would have watched the game at all being played by anyone else. I'd so glad you enjoyed it too, literally fucking amazing
I've only cried at three pieces of media ever: Uncle Iroh's "Tales of Ba Sing Se" Short, Red Dead Redemption 2's Ending, And this game. I don't cry easy. So the fact that this game got me is a testament to how everyone who hasn't played this game, absolutely needs to.
the fact that you used the Lost Library song in the intro sequence absolutely broke me, it's my personal favorite out of all of the bangers in OMORI's ost. needless to say i was strapped in for a wild ride from the very beginning. reliving the story a second time was well worth the watch time (admittedly i did skip a bit), and tears were definitely spilled during the Duet. for me, i saw a lot of my own mental state & struggles in Sunny and from the very start was in love with the game and its story. it was a bad hurt during the streams and still hurts watching it again, but in a way it reminds me that at the very minimum: i have acknowledged my problems and am persisting in an effort to fix them. out of all of the streams i've caught in the past 3-ish years, i strongly agree with Carson that this was definitely an unforgettable experience.
Watching you play and beat Omori back in 2021 sent me into a deep spiraling depression that lasted months on end and it got to the point where the depression became psychedelic :)
Got attatched to it for almost a month, if i Were to describe howi Felt most of the time it would be that whenever i Would lay down in bed, i Feel like sinking in comparison to the present.
It started raining in my mc world as the ending started and it rained for q0 whole ass minutes. Then the rain stops at the “Thanks for playing” stump. Can’t get much more poetic than that.
Just recently played through this. I unfortunately got the whole big twist of the game spoiled for me but even besides that this was one of the best stories in a game I've ever seen.
Such a beautiful game. I personally added Omori to special place already reserved for "To the moon" and "Finding Paradise". Thanks for playing this game carson
I remember watching this video when it was first uploaded. It really messed me up, and I only remember this game even existed like a few days ago. Omori is peak
I got through about halfway through this video and honestly I just decided fuck it I'm gonna buy and play the game. I just beat it tonight, what an absolute masterpiece of media. The amount of nuance to how things connect is so impressive that even being given a sentence spoiling the end wouldn't lay out how it's all contextualized. Fucking marvelous.
So happy to find a YT personality I like that has played this. I haven’t gotten through the game myself yet but have gotten a ways into it, after I do (and begin to catch up on the CarsonLIVE vids) I’m watching all those vods
man when i was about 20 min into this video, thought "damn, i should play this by myself. i feel like i'm gonna love this game" and, i think i should have. this game was fucking amazing
This was by far the most enjoyable Callmecarson video i've ever watched and I want to see m o r e of this content. Now I wanna play this game because of this incredible video, i'm gonna end up rewatching this whole thing again.
I remember crying my eyes out the first time i played the game. I just wish i can experience it again… Now i just have to convince myself to do the hikikomori route
thank you for making this! I've been wanting to watch a shortened version of someone playing through this game & its easier to archive than the 20 hour ones
Carson. You are the reason I played this game. I've been meaning to play it for a few months. Saw this video when it came out in my sub feed, clicked it. Than I got the warning at the beginning. I paused the video, went out and bought the game, did a full play through over two days. (Somehow sunk 22 hours in that time.) And cried my eyes out at it. HOLY FUCKING SHIT CARSON. THIS GAME WAS FUCKING BONKERS.

It was so much more than any other game, I soon completely forgot about making jokes and fun of it. I was loving it, and I think even if watching a video about the game makes me feel like this. It is truly a good game, I just got it and even after watching it I want to play it. This game is truly one of the best I have to think.
This game was just so brilliant. It has become my favorite game of all time before even leaving the prologue. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PLAYING IT BLIND. This game will make you feel so attached to the characters, and make you feel such strong emotions. I don’t want to say much more, just know that it has serious themes, but they execute them soooo well.
I could talk about this game forever but as I said, you should experience it yourself. It is truly a masterpiece among “quirky Earthbound-inspired RPGs”.
*SPOILERS!*
It's just like every game Carson plays he always amazes me. He regularly finds bugs and breaks games. He makes things that shouldn't be funny become funny. And now he somehow got the True Ending on his first playthrough.
Im just telling u guys... He knows something we don't. He became to powerful...
I mean it wasn’t that hard to get the true ending you just have to be lonely and want friends like I did
getting the true ending isnt hard at all lmao and if you mean secret ending then chat litterally forced him to water the flowers
@@GCM1969 water the flowers coward
It's funny cuz I also got the true ending my first playthrough
Seeing the gameplay in your streams is what eventually drew me to play the game, and honestly, I'm so happy that you got me into it. I love the game so much- I am absolutely addicted to it. The writing and the foreshadowing all the way through, with all the little details... It's a true masterpiece, and I don't think a game has ripped my heart out so violently like OMORI has ever before.
To anyone watching, even if you watch the whole thing, Buy the game and play it. It's so good.
it feels so strange, watching that playthrough with you and like going through the whirlwind of emotions it fueled in me made me feel like it was such a communal/connective/intimate experience with everyone and now having to turn my phone off and go back to life as normal is making me feel strange.. like it wasn’t real.. anyways..
Damn dude, for the longest time I've wanted a creator I watch to play Omori, because I know I wouldn't have time to appreciate it properly playing myself, but can put a let's play as background noise and easily go back if I miss anything important. I recently got recommended Merg's playthrough which I'm partway through now, and then this comes up. I'm torn now, do I watch this shortened version now from a creator I'm more familiar with, or finish the 30+ hour one with a creator I didn't know but am now enjoying, first?
Merg is great, I definitely recommend watching both playthroughs if you can make the time for it!
He goes in depth on pretty much everything the game offers, and he's playing through the alt route currently.
@@TitaniumRW nice, I think I will watch both, it doesn't really matter if I take a year to do it because it's not like the game is brand new, I'll just have to remember Carsons video for afterwards
You could watch the omori vods in the CallMeCarsonVODS channel and watch merg too, the omori vods are like 27+ hours
read your name as J Biden and thought that was a very important thing to mention
I find it immensely funny how Carson just experienced brief yet undeniable grief at Kel on 27:05
God, these streams were a trip. Fantastic game, and I was so surprised to see Carson diving into it so soon after his return.
Watching this video, the photo album reminded me of the album from "UP" when at the end of it, Ellie wrote, "That's for the adventure, now go have a new one!"
Watching further into this, closer to the end holy shit I've never wanted a group of characters to be happy this much before
I got to the end, This game has touched my heart and got me to cry for the first time in a while. That was beautiful...
If you enjoy watching this recap, I absolutely recommend watching the full streams, there's so much more to see
thought i could stay strong through this one but i guess not
the final picnic at mari's grave got to me at 2:25:57 and so did the music at the end at 2:56:49
I'm so happy to see you playing one of my favorite games and loving it so much! These 3 hours have been a treat to watch!
shout out to the guy at the ending that said "now you can play as luigi".
Omori: The movie will be officially 2 years old in a couple days still remember this masterpiece of a vid every now and then
I got so attached to this game that I spent 15 minutes crying over it.
baby
that’s what i’m sayin’!
my first time playing it, i felt depressed for about a month or two after finishing lmao
I've already rewatched this 3 times its so good
you watched 9 hours of content in 3 minuets?

@@kash316 i think he means the live stream or the vods
@@BlazydayZ no vidoe
@@kash316 yes. No one ever lies on the internet
Nice, when I first played Omori I didn't think much of it. It quickly caught me with the mystery, humor and especially the hanged man game which only fuel'd my curiosity. By the last two hours of the game I was in tears trough all 120 minutes as well as after the ending to which my response was just sitting and staring as the credits rolled, music played and I was left in a bitter sweet state, same feeling I had at the end of my favorite show. I highly recommend playing the game for Yourself, but I guess experiencing it with your favorite creator doesn't miss the mark by far.
**SPOILERS**
I got the good ending, Basil and Sunny survived, I confessed to Aubrey, Kel and Hero what happened with Mari, and freed myself as well as Basil of the guilt that lurked and followed us in the shadows trough the entire game. It also somewhat made me feel better as I saw a flower growing on the stump of that cut down tree. I don't have a favorite game of all time, there are those that I treasure with all my heart and those which were fun but haven't made that much of an impact on me... Omori was and will always be in my treasured memories.
I took your advice and bought it on the day you uploaded this video. A little over seven months later, I finished the game today and binge-watched this whole playthrough straight after. I knew you would appreciate the bizarre humor of the game and what a journey it was, both playing the game and watching your video. The game was a rollercoaster of emotions, but in the end I'm glad I got to experience it without any influence from spoilers first. Thanks Carson 🤍
Heck yeah dude! Glad you were able to experience it yourself. The game is a treat!
@@CallMeCarsonLIVE YOOOO I just finished the whole vod series and you come back here!!!
I love how Carson and Jawsh’s opinions on the game are complete polar opposites
yo Carson. I’ve spent nearly all day watching this video. Rewatching, going over certain parts again and such. Let me say, it has been great. Good job to whoever has edited this, it makes the character development so much easier to understand. Good Video. Keep videos like this up Carson 👍
Oh damn you actually uploaded a video form of it! I watched all the vods because I was having such a good time watching your reactions to everything. I love this game so much
legitimately my favorite game ever, i’m slowly going insane. if i see long hair i think “omori” if i see stairs i think “omori”. i’ve already done both routes and i’ve gotten all achievements (except like 2) and i can name the majority of the songs just by hearing them. help me god.
I just wanted to quickly say thank you for playing this. It really made me feel a lot better right now, but I don't think I would have watched the game at all being played by anyone else. I'd so glad you enjoyed it too, literally fucking amazing
I've only cried at three pieces of media ever:
Uncle Iroh's "Tales of Ba Sing Se" Short,
Red Dead Redemption 2's Ending,
And this game.
I don't cry easy. So the fact that this game got me is a testament to how everyone who hasn't played this game, absolutely needs to.
rdr2 got me so badly
He clearly likes it.
the fact that you used the Lost Library song in the intro sequence absolutely broke me, it's my personal favorite out of all of the bangers in OMORI's ost. needless to say i was strapped in for a wild ride from the very beginning. reliving the story a second time was well worth the watch time (admittedly i did skip a bit), and tears were definitely spilled during the Duet. for me, i saw a lot of my own mental state & struggles in Sunny and from the very start was in love with the game and its story. it was a bad hurt during the streams and still hurts watching it again, but in a way it reminds me that at the very minimum: i have acknowledged my problems and am persisting in an effort to fix them. out of all of the streams i've caught in the past 3-ish years, i strongly agree with Carson that this was definitely an unforgettable experience.
Watching you play and beat Omori back in 2021 sent me into a deep spiraling depression that lasted months on end and it got to the point where the depression became psychedelic :)
Got attatched to it for almost a month, if i Were to describe howi Felt most of the time it would be that whenever i Would lay down in bed, i Feel like sinking in comparison to the present.
@@Idkwhattoputhere...306 fr
This guy sounds funny he should make a TH-cam channel
Nah, that would be cringe
I wouldn't watch
honestly I would leave a dislike on all his videos
It would probably be just another minecraft channel
It started raining in my mc world as the ending started and it rained for q0 whole ass minutes.
Then the rain stops at the “Thanks for playing” stump.
Can’t get much more poetic than that.
Just recently played through this. I unfortunately got the whole big twist of the game spoiled for me but even besides that this was one of the best stories in a game I've ever seen.
I love how "ottomated" was in chat basically through the whole game its incredible
2:58:57 *in chat* "Carson cries at minecraft hunger games but not omori"
cant believe my glory days as basketball guy were cut out of the video. this is an outrage
i swear to god i love this game it has my favorite soundtrack out of any game and im happy seeing you enjoy it
This took 3 minutes to go from depressing to psychotic when he opened the notebook and laptop
Such a beautiful game. I personally added Omori to special place already reserved for "To the moon" and "Finding Paradise".
Thanks for playing this game carson
I remember watching this video when it was first uploaded. It really messed me up, and I only remember this game even existed like a few days ago. Omori is peak
Holy shit. After playing this game to the finish before, watching the game again made me realize how much foreshadowing there is
same
Yeah, I just noticed the eye patch in his inventory in otherworld
Bruh the chatter at 1:00:10
"Carson I've been watching for 2 hours"
"let me go"
LMFAO
This is the first time I've ever seen carson in the slightiest sad
I got through about halfway through this video and honestly I just decided fuck it I'm gonna buy and play the game. I just beat it tonight, what an absolute masterpiece of media. The amount of nuance to how things connect is so impressive that even being given a sentence spoiling the end wouldn't lay out how it's all contextualized.
Fucking marvelous.
im so glad you played omori, it's one of my favorite games as well
So happy to find a YT personality I like that has played this. I haven’t gotten through the game myself yet but have gotten a ways into it, after I do (and begin to catch up on the CarsonLIVE vids) I’m watching all those vods
This is amazing, ive always wanted to see some gameplay on this
"this game is about hanging out with your friends" i dont know about that but mari sure hanged in there😔
I haven't had a game make me cry in such a long time
This was one game experience I was glad I hitched a ride for
Thank you for playing Carson
man when i was about 20 min into this video, thought "damn, i should play this by myself. i feel like i'm gonna love this game" and, i think i should have. this game was fucking amazing
this game has one of the best soundtracks i’ve heard
never have I starred at a screen after the game is over, until now
it makes me very happy that carson loves my favorite game :)
This has to be the best callmecarson video I've ever watched
Every single time you say a theory I literally screamed a little internally like how wrong and right you were on a lot of them omg
At the beginning it feels like a childrens game and by the end your mom is wondering why the trash is so full and why all the tissues are gone
wudda ya mean by dat?
Omori is such a good game. I’m so glad Carson played through it.
47:34 they really just said "fatherless behavior"
This was by far the most enjoyable Callmecarson video i've ever watched and I want to see m o r e of this content. Now I wanna play this game because of this incredible video, i'm gonna end up rewatching this whole thing again.
You want to see o-more-i of it?
''Oh Struudel'' -Minion stuck in vending machine at the end of Despicalble Me 4.
I remember crying my eyes out the first time i played the game. I just wish i can experience it again…
Now i just have to convince myself to do the hikikomori route
thank you for making this!
I've been wanting to watch a shortened version of someone playing through this game & its easier to archive than the 20 hour ones
**spoilers**
shoutout to the guy who said "oh hell naw dey killd bagel" when aubrey pushed basil into the water
Carson. You are the reason I played this game. I've been meaning to play it for a few months. Saw this video when it came out in my sub feed, clicked it. Than I got the warning at the beginning. I paused the video, went out and bought the game, did a full play through over two days. (Somehow sunk 22 hours in that time.) And cried my eyes out at it. HOLY FUCKING SHIT CARSON. THIS GAME WAS FUCKING BONKERS.
This game has traumatized me in the best way possible.
Carson should play AI: The Somnium Files. It's sequel is coming out next month, but the humor is exactly Carson's type of thing
I can’t wait to watch the Omori movie!! Carson is playing the Omori movie??? Whaaatt????
This game proves video games are, in fact, art
Spoiler:
Omori being distorted after lowering his hp multiple times scares me but you have to fight him to recover. It's a nice detail
my irl response to seeing a three hour carson video: "okay."
My heart is gonna snap in two if i watch another Omori Playthrough but i’m doing it anyways
2:47AM what a nice ending to the night. The outro always brings me to a close
Wow, another funny and witty video by callmecarsonLIVE! Thank you Carson very cool!
Kinda funny how Aubrey talks shit about Sunny for carrying a knife before proceeding to whip out a nailed bat with malicious intent.
