If you go to the church (and then in the cemetery and click on Mari's grave) with Kel before meeting with Hero, Kel will tell you how hard it was for Hero after Mari passed away, Hero spent almost a year in his bedroom without wanting to do anything. One day Kel wanted to cheer him up but It backfired and Hero took his pain with Kel, and Kel started crying. Their parents heard the screams and they went into Hero's bedroom and asked him if he was okay. Kel also mentions how his parents ignored that he was crying and then Hero at seeing his little brother cry, he went to him and hugged him and told him he was very sorry. Since then Hero decided to get back at his feet and well, you see him now continuing with his life, going to college etc. It honestly made me a bit emotional. Also Kell tells you Hero hasn't visited Mari's grave even once, and if you try to go with Hero to the cemetery, Hero won't let you because he says he is not ready yet.
Aubrey: "Where were you when MARI died? WHERE WERE ANY OF YOU?!" Let's see... Sunny/Omori isolated himself and using his dream world as his escapism, Kel tries to be positive and still be happy and move on, Basil became miserable and unstable, Hero became a workaholic into an unhealthy degree moved on and gone to college.
Hey Manly, you can actually beat the fight with the hooligans by getting pepper spray, it'll one shot them, there's even special dialogue for it. You can get the pepper spray by getting it in the purse at kel's home in the dining room.
"Where were you when Mari died?!" I find it interesting that Aubrey in the dream world, says to think before you speak and to have some self awareness. But in the present, she completely disregards how Sunny feels even though it was his own sister that died. She lacks to think before she speaks, and even think before she acts.
Every time she say something like that I was thinking if omori just said like “OH IM SORRY THAT MY SISTER DIED AND I DIDNT HAVE TIME TO DEAL WITH YOUR PROBLEMS”
I don't like Aubrey ngl, she is like that kind of character that is sooooo mean and selfish about everything but also victimize herself to make you feel culprit
@@hauwley Although he's naive, he's still a good friend. If someone's obviously distressed he'll probably try his best to calm them down, and he does become more mature and responsible when it comes to situations where someone's in need, like in Basil's situations. He probably isn't as open-minded though, and that must've been one of the reasons why Aubrey seems so resentful of Kel. It still doesn't mean he won't try to understand though.
@@HeadArianatorGeneral only in game files, I can't remember the details but some stuff related to Hero are written as Henry. Nothing in the game itself tho
I like how the portraits for the kids changes, in the dream world the portraits are a bit more messily colored in, and a simple color, and in the real world, their portraits are fully colored and neatly colored and shaded. It’s like a representation that they have all matured and changed since sunny first shut himself in.
I don't know if I am just seeing things but I think if you look closely at their chins in their OMORI WORLD state it's a bit shorter compared to their real world counterparts giving them a more childish look and also alluding to the fact that between the dream world and the real one there is a 4 year gap. (correct me if I am wrong but I think there is a difference)
@@stardustobserver7454 there is, the characters in the dream world represents their younger selves when everything was happier. In the real world, it is the present time, where everyone is older
i know this is old but one can i use this comment in an analysis video im making? i also believe it’s because their dream counterparts aren’t complete- they are the ideal version of the gang and have ideal reactions to keep everything perfect, (even if these ARE flaws they exist in a way to keep everything running the way sunny needs it to be) when in reality they are people- fully fleshed out and with actions and choices that are unpredictable and don’t live up to the ideas in dream world
His commentary is always fun but with the way he’s speedrunning this game (and not watering Basil’s plants or caring about Basil in general), he’s missed a ton of really important details and scenes.
@@LAWLZ24 He can play the game however he wants too, Attempting to backseat game him would only take his general enjoyment out of the game itself, If one is unsatisfied if he somehow misses stuff or whatever that person can go and do that themselves or look it up on another youtube channel.
48:42 HERO: "We even had our very own treehouse!" Kel: "I wonder if it's still there. Is it Sunny?" Sunny in his dreams: "Ah yes, this tree stump is out home"
This night it didn’t have the flashing around the room when Sunny went to sleep This means he had been doing that out of paranoia, checking to make sure nothing was there Now that his friend are there he can sleep in peace and doesn’t have to go through that, and I think that’s a beautiful touch
@@etaq2 they do! they all react in pain to being pepper sprayed and then are all confused on how they lost to you and kel. kel is also a lot less aggressive towards aubrey if you win the fight.
Why is it so bittersweet that Hero seems to have lost his charm. Like, in the dream world Hero his the charismatic one, and irl he was pretty ungraceful when it came to convincing his mom to let him hang out at Sunny’s.
i think the curtain is metaphorical. since omori wanted to play violin at mari's concerts with her. so the curtain is symbolic of "the final curtain" as in the last show and it would symbolize mari's death, the final time she was ever seen alive. and the light that comes in when the curtains are opened would symbolize the bright light you see when you die.
@@miserableghandi7960 yeah just he can do no wrong even when he does and I am the black sheep. So just be careful what you wish for. I love him a lot just can be irritating.
The best part of this game is how valid and realistic all of the characters portray reactions to death of a loved one. It’s really surreal how much time the maker has made about fleshing out the emotions and reactions.
Kel, as oblivious as he can be, brought up a good point-they were all KIDS dealing with a bunch of trauma. You can’t fully blame Aubrey for how she turned out, but also Aubrey is putting a lot of undue blame onto everyone else as well.
20:54 Translation: Thick eyebrows: Hi mom, how are you today? Othermart lady: a little busy but I'm good! How is Joy? Thick eyebrows: She's studying..... really hard! You don't understand what they're saying. Othermart lady: Hello! Do you want fish? (okay I swear my grammar is bad as hecc)
I swear Manly knows how to actually voice act and all, in general, get me really immersive with the whole story itself. He could tell scary stories and honestly, I wouldn't complain. So soothing and calming. I just simply love it and its one of the reasons why I subbed in the first place. Love ya Manly
he does!!! i'm not sure if it's professional or not, but i mostly watch him for horror jrpgs, which i'm not good at playing myself due to being very jumpy and easily frightened, but he did some voice work in the latter couple of games in uri's strange men series!!!
Don't mind me making a list of what the blanks in the books (probably) mean. ◻=I (Aka Sunny) ◻◻◻=Kel ◻◻◻◻=Mari and Hero ◻◻◻◻◻=Basil ◻◻◻◻◻◻=Aubrey *Book of Interest 1, **1:21* "One by one, they fell asleep on the car ride home. It was a long day at the beach, after all, and everyone was exhausted." "Kel was the first to nod off, then the rest." "As the sun set over the freeway, Sunny's head accidently drops onto Aubrey's shoulder." "The sudden jolt wakes him, but he doesn't dare open his eyes." "He pretends to be asleep and steadies his breathing. He listens to the sound of the road." "He feels the soft sun resting on his skin, and the slight tinge of pain on his nose from tomorrow's sunburn." "He is happy... very, very happy... And he makes a vow to himself, that no matter what, he will remember this moment forever." *Book of Interest 2, **2:25* "A puddle of juice sinks into the carpet." "Hovering above it is none other than Kel, holding an open juice box." "He looks around at his friends, who were all wearing the same face of disappointment. He lets out a guilty chuckle." "In what seems like less than a second, Kel disappears out the front door." "A tiny black kitten makes her way through the stains, leaving sloppy, wet tracks all across the carpet." "Hero's Face turns red and yells for Kel, but Kel is already long gone." "Mari hands Hero some wet paper towels." "It looks like they're the only adults here... and if they don't clean this up soon, the carpet is going to have a stain. They'll have to deal with Kel later..." *Book of Interest 3, **3:19* "It was a hot, summer day, and all Sunny could think about was why they couldn't do this tommorow." "The backyard was a mess." "Planks of wood were strewn about the area. Paint stains blotched the grass thanks to Basil and Aubrey's work." "All day, Sunny watched Hero lug planks of wood back and forth from his dad's pickup truck." "He watched Kel hammer his fingers over and over, and made note that over an hour has passed since Mari has climbed down her ladder." `I will just be their moral support`, Sunny thought, as he sat sleepily in the shade of his favorite tree." "Of course, he knew this wouldn't be the case." "Soon his friends will be asking for his help, and he won't be able to refuse." "The treehouse is for everyone, so it's only fair that everyone puts some work into it." "Sunny knows this and agrees... but reluctantly. He slides up and wobble his way to the mess." "He knows he should put in his fair share. It just had to be on the hottest day of summer." *Book of interest 4, **4:13* "This year, Sunny was lucky enough to get assigned to a desk next to the small window." "Every day during class, Sunny would gaze listlessly through the opening... at the shadows of the trees, the clouds creeping overhead." "His mind drifted elsewhere... into his own worlds, his own stories, his own adventures." (I'm just gonna stop writing things right now since, well... I kinda got lazy and I don't have the patience to spend 38 more minutes on a comment that rewrites all the Books of Interest. So, I'll probably finish this comment later, bye!)
Thank you for making this! It was helpful (my internet is slow today and the video is quite blurry for me to read. I can mostly depend on listening, the captions ain't doing so well for some reason. Thx again)
@@anthexium yeah. I noticed that too in some of the excerpts, the one-letter blank can stand for "I", which could maybe mean that the one-letter ones are Sunny/Omori? I think this works because in one of the excerpts there was a spill-on-carpet scene with a cat walking on it, which was later mentioned by Kel in the real world
The chinese conversation is Hello mom! how are you doing? >just a bit busy, how is joy? Studying hard! >Hello, do you want fish? rough but more or less.
It’s so heartbreaking that Sunny creates the scene of Mari saying goodbye, but then barely a minute later she comes back as normal because he still can’t deal with it. That sucks hard
I just beat the game, so I can't remember the exact sequencing of everything, but when you have Hero and Kel in your party - you can go to their room and compare heights. You have an option to pick whether Hero or Kel is taller.
It's interesting how as the friendship gets stronger in the dream world their interactions only get more extreme and similar to the real life feelings. Kel and Aubrey can't even look at each other without becoming extremely angry, Omori continually gets more skills that make him sad
But on the plus side, i feel the game is written and portreyd well enough that the end should still be impactful, one streamer who i watched playthrough it also had it spoiled but still enjoyed the end just cuz of how well it is done, so while it sucks to have it spoiled, it shouldnt completely ruin it
If you had snooped the purse back at Kel's house you would have had a pepper spray and use it on the battle against the fight and would of won instantly also get an achievement for it.
Okay I'm making this comment 11 minutes in, and I just realized something During the "get over the fear of spiders" part, there was a white outline of a door to the LEFT of the staircase. But looking at Sunny's house, there's no door there Furthermore, on the photo where (supposedly) Mari fell down the stairs, you can also see what looks like a door to the left of the photo Interesting... is there actually a door there, but we've decided that "we don't want to see it"? Or was wallpaper out over the door? Curious EDIT: It appears the room in question was the closet. Now it all makes sense. That's where all of Mari's belongings are, probably
If you're talking about the photo that flashed before basil disappeared, then that's actually a broken violin, I can try to find the video that showed it slowed down and what not
@@totalchaos9981 You don't need to find a video that slows it down, you can use the , and . keys to go frame by frame on a youtube video or even use the option on youtube videos to slow things down. Note: I'm unsure how/if any of this works on other devices.
The way that even the dream world characters start reminding Omori of who he really is kinda reminds me of the beginning of KH 2, when Roxas is slowly being broken out of the matrix...
There was so much in this video: -we jump into a big hole and twirl down into an abyss, -visit the *Blank*, -pet the *Bark*, -Sunny defeats the fear of water and manages to stay afloat as Omori, -Hero is named after a sandwich and looks just as young as his past-self in Sunny's dreams (although taller and more charming). After the second day: -we walk through a bunch of waterwalks in a fog, -go down the well Hell with the anglerfish, -exit out into a seabed with colourful anemones and (or just) corals, -find out that everyone signed a dubious work contract with a business shark, -visit a sunken ship called the Last Resort, -remind Omori's friends for the third time that they should look for Basil, -learn a new onomatopoeia from a shark ( 'JAWHAWHAWHA~'), -remember the Manly's pronounciation of 'OHOHOHOHOHO~', -fend off gators lead by a shark, -fight muscle mountain Pluto who almost killed himself, -have too many picnics, -take a train and fight a scary cyclopean horse, -exit the train for Hero's dreamworld - Dessert Oasis. And if you're still here, have you played 'Rainworld'? Tell me your favourite track!
I hope manly does all the endings. I'm only watching him play it and I can't wait to watch the new episode of Omori. I got attached to the characters and the dream world. I myself can't play it because I'm too scared. I started and when I looked in the mirror and got jump scared... anyway I'm patiently waiting for next video! i love this game!
Maybe the reason why Omori's world is empty after Hero and Kel stayed for the night is because he used that world to run away from his loneliness. That night, he wasn't lonely. And maybe, a hint of reality hit him, too. Edit: a hint of reality definitely hit him.. he's visualizing his fears and what's happening irl. The world's story stuck in time when Mari hadn't died. Now that he came back to his friends.. the timeline progressed
Gosh... I still remember this as that comic strip for that Pure Imagination cover and it was really depressing... Now I see it as a game, now? I feel more depressed....
hmmm even tho i believe omori did erase basil's existence from his dream world on purpose.... i wonder why he still goes on the journey of trying to find him anyways? i mean he can literally control the friends he has in that world, right? and him letting mari leave.... i wonder if deep down he rly just wanted to be able to move on and "finding basil" and maybe accepting him bavk into his reality was part of it too? we still dunno how mari died and how is it related to basil.... maybe finding dream basil will unravel all of this as well? maaan i rly don't want anything bad to happen to him please;;
I think basil might have isolated himself before mari died, so the rest of the group started "searching" for him, maybe actually thinking he was lost bc his mom wouldnt tell them anything bc basil wanted to be alone. Like maybe when his grandma started getting sick he wanted to be around her more or his mom needed more help around the house Also, w the mari leaving, i think its just him unwillingly remembering shes dead, which sends him to the part where hes alone, expecially now that hes seeing how everyones changed (well, exept kel ig) while he stayed pretty much the same and the fact that hes moving making it certain things couldnt go back even if he tried
@@thevioletskull8158 i think omori biggest fear is facing basil? cos eveytime basil shows up there's this monster around?? maybe basil had smth to do with mari's death
Probably because it's like an adventure. The irl group wouldn't accept basil being gone fnr, so omori used this to make an adventure to further sunnys escapism. Omori was built for repression, and what better way to do that than making an adventure of finding the friend you repressed?
i like how the dream thingy is really a dream thingy like, a lot of the stuff that happens there is directly related to what happened before sunny goes to bed, as if his brain is processing the info that he obtained during the day inside his dreams
You mentioning the big CRT-screen reminded me of my friend who had a dad that was a technology-freak. So they had a 60-inch CRT-TV. It was cool, until we had to help them get rid of it when flat screens became a thing. It was as thick as it was tall and it weighed probably 100kg. It was very fun for us.
It's not too surprising given he's the oldest and most mature, but Hero seems to have handled Mari's death in the healthiest way; yes, he's giving up his love of cooking but he's looking to the future. A little funny after Sweetheart's Castle was such a long dungeon, but I'm kind of disappointed the Last Resort was such a short one. It's this sunken ship turned into a casino run by a shark, I feel like we could have gotten more mileage out of that setting and temporarily having a smaller party to work with. At least Mr. Jawsum followed by Pluto made for another nice boss fight. As for Orange Oasis, I honestly can't tell if it's purely optional or if it's where Manly was supposed to go. This game seems to have a lot of content you can just miss.
You can actually go to orange oasis before the hole in sweethearts castle, which you should because the one character that was dancing at the lemonade stand turns to dust. Manly missed this, but you can go to Mari's grave with Kel and you learn Hero spent a year without leaving the house until he snapped on Kel, afterwards he basically became a workaholic. To this day he has no visited Mari's grave and if hes in your party he'll stop you from going to the grave saying, "Sorry, I dont think Im ready yet..."
Technically Kel was the one who had the healthiest recovery from Mari. He was really the only one who got over her death while everyone got held up. Hero only got better after he almost snapped at Kel for trying to cheer him up, Sunny only went outside after 4 years because of Kel, Aubrey finally opened up despite pushing Kel away, and he was the only one defending Basil while Basil was getting bullied. Kel is essentially the Hero of the story by being everyone's sunshine which is hilarious because of how simple minded he sometimes is.
@@Poni5 I know this game is gonna have a depressing ending (everybody in the comments says so). But i hope that there is a "best" ending out there where not everything sucks.... Or else i am gonna have some sleepless nights.
@@schneeli8198 Every multi-choice ending RPG Maker game has a ton of bad ends and two-three good ones. So yeah they are good ones, thought I can't say for sure since I'm kinda blind and kinda spoiled.
Manly: *fights hooligans* Also manly: DAMMIT KEL IF YPU WOULDVE GAVE ME MY 20 DOLLARS BACK WE WOULD HAVE HEAL RESOURCES manly like 1 min ago: *finds 20 dollars in kel’s closet*
_Wonder if the songs called omori_ The whole stab at the start of each day really reminds me of end roll. we know how that ended up. A library of the mind where memories reside. its easy to tell some of the blanks, like three meant kel, the longets for aubrey, the single for sunny, a bit more difficult to pin down hero and basil. Looks like sunnys fear for spiders and water originate from a single bad incident. They all seem to really love hanging out with each other. seems like sunny really wanted to learn violin but that went sour. it sticks out like something regarding music is related to it all. The piano and such. looks like a source of something. wonder how it relates to a knife and that first something from the stairs. Basil might be more tied into that. Like as if aubrey blames him for maris death or something similar. If the shadows like maris ghost and its following basil, then probably. Sunny really likes hiding in his dream world, which is kinda like a fantasy version of his past. guess everyone is livin in the past. looks way more fun tha the real world. we went from battling obnoxious anime girl to gang fights and almost drowning. Sunny really tried getting over his fear for water, and really just looks like maris helping him along the way. Although Hero was the real hero. hes a walking pun lol. Aurbrey really seems to be messed up by all whats happened, and basil just looks like hes guilty of murder. That transition into the dream world was interesting. After a reality check the dream was pretty empty. that mirrors gonna be a jump scare one of these days. "omori learned surf was really funny" Seeing mari colored like omori and that good bye, was probably sunny really accepting the fact that his sister had passed on and the memories and what he learnt from her proved that she loved him. This part of the game sure was heavy. i liked the underwater city aesthetic. its neat. everyone being tricked into getting a job was funny, like as if sunny was trying to imagine his version of his friends growing up and moving away too. which is why i guess he looked even more detached from that dream version of mari. Loved that the game pulled a you need to get this item and manly has had to go get both. the flowers were just a day old lol. i can see why this was jawsome. Pluto really was terrifying. true planet form. wonder if that thing in the train was representation of basil. Pretty sure everyone on the train were dead cause they were all toast. wonder where they will all go next.
Manly, I really hope you're enjoying this game, because I'm loving it. Thank you for continuing with it and posting more. Even though I know for a certainty that my feels are liable to be hammered by those waking-world sections at any moment...
The blanks are corespondent on how many letters there are in the blank. For example, one box is “I” three boxes are “Kel” and since both Mari and Hero have four boxes, you have you use context clues, and so on and so forth
I find it very interesting how mari appears more often after the learn how to swim part where she kinda says goodbye to omori, as if hes trying even harder to hold on to her memory. Also, not so small detail, but omori is now sad in every fight before you even get to read a sad story!
Actually about that part of being sad at the start of fights, it's because of the charm Manly equipped to Omori. There are charms that automatically give an emotion when equipped. There's one for happy, angry, and sad that you can get before the swimming segment. I didn't equip one of those to Omori, and he wouldn't start sad in fights, so it's not the plot that's making him start sad in Manly's video.
Yeah, I just watched someone finish the game and they were so mad at it when they figured out that wasn't what they were supposed to do. I didn't like it either :/ ( Still, don't give hints, let people play how they want for their first times. )
@@corruptedteka Yeah, I'm very sorry for giving out hints! It's just... Ugh. I love animals a lot and have a traumatic experience in my past so... Even thinking about that scene makes me really anxious and teary. I'm sorry!
HOW TO BEAT "THE HOOLIGANS": Before the fight you can grab pepper spray from Kel's mom's purse in their kitchen. It will deal 500 damage and give some new dialogue.
1:22 One by one they fall asleep on the car ride home. It was a long day at the beach, after all, and everyone was exhausted. KEL was the first to nod off then the rest. As the sun set over the freeway, SUNNY's head accidentally drops onto AUBERY's shoulder. The sudden jolt wakes him, but he doesn't dare to open his eyes. He pretends to be asleep and steadies his breathing. He listens to the sound of the road He feels the soft sun resting on his skin, and a slight tinge of pain on his nose from tomorrow's sunburn. He is happy... very, very happy... And he makes a vow to himself, that no matter what, he will remember this moment forever. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2:30 A puddle of juice sinks into the carpet. Hovering above it is none other than KEL, holding an open juice box. He looks around at his friends, who are all wearing the same face of disappointment. He lets out a guilty chuckle. In what seems like less than a second, KEL disappears out the front door. A tiny black kitten makes her way through the stain, leaving sloppy, wet tracks all across the carpet. HERO's face turns red and yells for KEL, but KEL is already long gone. HERO hands MARI some wet paper towels It looks like they're the only adults here... and if they don't clean this up soon, the carpet is going to stain. They'll have to deal with KEL later... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3:20 It was a hot, summer day, and all SUNNY could think about was why they couldn't do this tomorrow. The backyard was a mess. Planks of wood were strewn about the area. Paint stains blotched the grass thanks to BASIL and AUBREY's work. All day SUNNY watched HERO lug planks of wood back and forth from his dad's pickup truck. He watched KEL hammer his fingers over and over, and made note that over an hour has passed since MARI has climbed down her ladder. I will just be their moral support.; SUNNY thought, as he sat sleepily in the shade of his favorite tree. Of course he knew this wouldn't be the case. Soon his friend will be asking for his help and he won't be able to refuse. The treehouse is for everyone, so it's only fair that everyone puts some work into it. SUNNY knows this and agrees... but reluctantly. He slides up and wobbles his way into the mess. He knows he would put in his fair share. It just had to be on the hottest day in summer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4:15 This year, SUNNY was lucky enough to get assigned to a desk next to the small window. Everyday during class, SUNNY would gaze listlessly through the opening... at the shadows of the tree, the clouds creeping overhead. His mind drifted elsewhere... into his own worlds, his own stories, his own adventures. He had a habit of doing this. It was easy for his to get lost. Today was the same as any other. SUNNY stared vacantly out the small window as the clouds passed one by one. Suddenly, a hand playfully slaps his back, snapping him out of his reverie. SUNNY looks away from the opening. KEL smiles. He motions that class is over and that it's finally time for lunch. It's pizza day today, and they need to bolt to the cafeteria before it's all gone. SUNNY's stomach growls. He looks at the small window one last time. He would have to continue his adventure another day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5:33 It is sunset. A strange statue watches over the hidden lake. It might have meant something significant in the past, but time has made its engraving illegible. Either way, it doesn't matter to the company visiting today. They're only here to use it as a diving board The brothers take turns jumping off the statue. HERO jumps first. Then KEL. Then HERO again. Then KEL again. The brothers gleefully urge SUNNY to join them, and after some careful thought, SUNNY warily agrees. SUNNY shuffles up to the statue, and looks down at the moving water. He can hear his heartbeat. His ears begin to ring. His legs feel as if they would give out at any time. He tries to focus on his breathing... He feels something crawling on his shoulder and his eyes fly open to meet with those of a black spider. In an instant, SUNNY loses all sense and hurls himself into the lake. Water fills his nose. He exerts his limbs, but the water is stronger. He's too weak, too helpless... or that is what he believes. SUNNY shuts his eyes... and waits for the brothers to save him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5:56 Everyone is over again today. The special occasion is Saturday morning. From 7:00AM to 11:00AM, a group of six friends eat a delicious homemade breakfast and watch T.V. together. It's the most enjoyable part of every week. SUNNY looks at the clock, 8:00AM. Two hours left. He would be able to watch with everyone else until 10:00AM, when his tutor arrives. SUNNY grimaces. What he thought would be a rewarding hobby has been nothing more than a nuisance. Instead of watching the shows with the rest of his friends, he'll be the only one to miss out. If only he could watch the last hour with everyone else. If only he didn't have to play the violin... God I love this game so much
Every time the video ends I am just "UHG! NO! I want to know more!!!" I am starting to see OMORI things on my feed and I don't want to touch any of them because I don't wanna be spoiled!! But I don't have the funds to get the game. ;A;
Actually I’m pretty sure this game takes place in the 2000s cause in the foe facts OMORI describes a dial up as “ancient” and those were only surpassed in 2000 so....
Broadband came out in the mid 90s. In fact in the late 90s I had broadband internet as RoadRunner was becoming common place. Due to the presence of the SNES which wasn't discontinued till 1999 (although remained in sales and circulation) the game is probably trying to aim for a qausi ahistorical spot of 1996 - 1999.
when I played it I keep thinking it's around 1990-1999 but he also has a quite good-looking laptop in his dream and that throws me off to 2000+ instead lol. Now I don't know what year it should be but it's definitely earlier than 2005-2010 if i guess.
Assuming that ghost is a thing, her spirit has always accompanied Sunny/Omori in his dreams until she couldn't anymore. However, the dream Mari still exists in the Dream World, hence why she's still there.
@@Raidenze cuz she’s alive? Im assuming the dreamworld is their childhood memories doe. Finding Basil is probably just another memories of them but this time, Omori is facing the corrupted memory.
I think the real ghost Mari just hijack his dream to say goodbye one last time before he moves away. That's why everything is so foggy and everyone is gone. She's also the only one that called him "Sunny" instead of Omori in his dream. Also, the Mari at the swimming scene has the same black and white color just like Omori while the one at the picnic still has a normal dream world blue color. That's why when you first saw the picnic Mari at the resort she gives a confused reaction at Omori. I also saw a lot of that white flowers that carry the meaning "my thought will follow you through your dream" in the library (or something like that). Maybe ghost Mari hijacks his dream through those white flowers (who knows lol).
I assume the Mari that accompanied Omori, or rather Sunny, was a more real representation of her, that's why she goes away, because she's dead, while the picnic one is the representation of her in that dream world.
Whenever you collect a key, a black hole appears in its place. You can actually interact with this for some neat cutscenes and even an extra area! It's not much but it does provide a bit of extra lore.
Hmmm based on the number of letter blanks, I think the memory with someone falling asleep on his shoulder was of Omori and Aubrey. I'm sensing that both Aubrey and Omori might have had mutual crushes on each other when they were little.

'Course it is
MANLY you son of a gun,stop reading my mind and publishing good content when I need the most.
If you go to the church (and then in the cemetery and click on Mari's grave) with Kel before meeting with Hero, Kel will tell you how hard it was for Hero after Mari passed away, Hero spent almost a year in his bedroom without wanting to do anything. One day Kel wanted to cheer him up but It backfired and Hero took his pain with Kel, and Kel started crying. Their parents heard the screams and they went into Hero's bedroom and asked him if he was okay. Kel also mentions how his parents ignored that he was crying and then Hero at seeing his little brother cry, he went to him and hugged him and told him he was very sorry. Since then Hero decided to get back at his feet and well, you see him now continuing with his life, going to college etc. It honestly made me a bit emotional. Also Kell tells you Hero hasn't visited Mari's grave even once, and if you try to go with Hero to the cemetery, Hero won't let you because he says he is not ready yet.

Hey Manly, you can actually beat the fight with the hooligans by getting pepper spray, it'll one shot them, there's even special dialogue for it. You can get the pepper spray by getting it in the purse at kel's home in the dining room.

Pepper spray
The best defence against hooligans!
I tried doing it without the pepper spray but at low health they do a multi hit move which does way too much damage and can hit both sunny and kel
"Where were you when Mari died?!" I find it interesting that Aubrey in the dream world, says to think before you speak and to have some self awareness. But in the present, she completely disregards how Sunny feels even though it was his own sister that died. She lacks to think before she speaks, and even think before she acts.
You mean Mari?

Kel really is the kind of guy that... fun to hang out with when you're happy but not when you're in any other mood
So he's a _sunny_ day kind of guy?
Kel would be that type of guy who doesn't know how to deal with a friend who's emotionally distressed.
@@hauwley Although he's naive, he's still a good friend. If someone's obviously distressed he'll probably try his best to calm them down, and he does become more mature and responsible when it comes to situations where someone's in need, like in Basil's situations. He probably isn't as open-minded though, and that must've been one of the reasons why Aubrey seems so resentful of Kel. It still doesn't mean he won't try to understand though.

I like how the portraits for the kids changes, in the dream world the portraits are a bit more messily colored in, and a simple color, and in the real world, their portraits are fully colored and neatly colored and shaded.

the phos pfp gave me whiplash
I don't know if I am just seeing things but I think if you look closely at their chins in their OMORI WORLD state it's a bit shorter compared to their real world counterparts giving them a more childish look and also alluding to the fact that between the dream world and the real one there is a 4 year gap. (correct me if I am wrong but I think there is a difference)

i know this is old but one can i use this comment in an analysis video im making? i also believe it’s because their dream counterparts aren’t complete- they are the ideal version of the gang and have ideal reactions to keep everything perfect, (even if these ARE flaws they exist in a way to keep everything running the way sunny needs it to be) when in reality they are people- fully fleshed out and with actions and choices that are unpredictable and don’t live up to the ideas in dream world

i think the curtain is metaphorical. since omori wanted to play violin at mari's concerts with her. so the curtain is symbolic of "the final curtain" as in the last show and it would symbolize mari's death, the final time she was ever seen alive. and the light that comes in when the curtains are opened would symbolize the bright light you see when you die.

The best part of this game is how valid and realistic all of the characters portray reactions to death of a loved one. It’s really surreal how much time the maker has made about fleshing out the emotions and reactions.
Kel, as oblivious as he can be, brought up a good point-they were all KIDS dealing with a bunch of trauma. You can’t fully blame Aubrey for how she turned out, but also Aubrey is putting a lot of undue blame onto everyone else as well.

"One by one, they fell asleep on the car ride home. It was a long day at the beach, after all, and everyone was exhausted."
"Kel was the first to nod off, then the rest."
"As the sun set over the freeway, Sunny's head accidently drops onto Aubrey's shoulder."
"The sudden jolt wakes him, but he doesn't dare open his eyes."
"He pretends to be asleep and steadies his breathing. He listens to the sound of the road."
"He feels the soft sun resting on his skin, and the slight tinge of pain on his nose from tomorrow's sunburn."
"He is happy... very, very happy... And he makes a vow to himself, that no matter what, he will remember this moment forever."
*Book of Interest 2, **2:25*
"A puddle of juice sinks into the carpet."
"Hovering above it is none other than Kel, holding an open juice box."
"He looks around at his friends, who were all wearing the same face of disappointment. He lets out a guilty chuckle."
"In what seems like less than a second, Kel disappears out the front door."
"A tiny black kitten makes her way through the stains, leaving sloppy, wet tracks all across the carpet."
"Hero's Face turns red and yells for Kel, but Kel is already long gone."
"Mari hands Hero some wet paper towels."
"It looks like they're the only adults here... and if they don't clean this up soon, the carpet is going to have a stain. They'll have to deal with Kel later..."
*Book of Interest 3, **3:19*
"It was a hot, summer day, and all Sunny could think about was why they couldn't do this tommorow."
"The backyard was a mess."
"Planks of wood were strewn about the area. Paint stains blotched the grass thanks to Basil and Aubrey's work."
"All day, Sunny watched Hero lug planks of wood back and forth from his dad's pickup truck."
"He watched Kel hammer his fingers over and over, and made note that over an hour has passed since Mari has climbed down her ladder."
`I will just be their moral support`, Sunny thought, as he sat sleepily in the shade of his favorite tree."
"Of course, he knew this wouldn't be the case."
"Soon his friends will be asking for his help, and he won't be able to refuse."
"The treehouse is for everyone, so it's only fair that everyone puts some work into it."
"Sunny knows this and agrees... but reluctantly. He slides up and wobble his way to the mess."
"He knows he should put in his fair share. It just had to be on the hottest day of summer."
*Book of interest 4, **4:13*
"This year, Sunny was lucky enough to get assigned to a desk next to the small window."
"Every day during class, Sunny would gaze listlessly through the opening... at the shadows of the trees, the clouds creeping overhead."
"His mind drifted elsewhere... into his own worlds, his own stories, his own adventures."

The blanks in the books at the beginnings' number of letters fits the characters' names, I think
I think so too, its really cool
Yep, and the one blank is the protagonist, since you can give him any name.
@@anthexium yeah. I noticed that too in some of the excerpts, the one-letter blank can stand for "I", which could maybe mean that the one-letter ones are Sunny/Omori?
I think this works because in one of the excerpts there was a spill-on-carpet scene with a cat walking on it, which was later mentioned by Kel in the real world
but i swear there was a six letter blank that was called "he" in the next sentence so it couldn't be aubrey?
Yeah, they fit perfectly, one blank is "I", 3 blank is "Kel", 4 blank is either "Hero" or "Mari", 5 blank is "Basil", and 6 blank is "Aubrey".

Okay I'm making this comment 11 minutes in, and I just realized something
During the "get over the fear of spiders" part, there was a white outline of a door to the LEFT of the staircase. But looking at Sunny's house, there's no door there
Furthermore, on the photo where (supposedly) Mari fell down the stairs, you can also see what looks like a door to the left of the photo
Interesting... is there actually a door there, but we've decided that "we don't want to see it"? Or was wallpaper out over the door? Curious
EDIT: It appears the room in question was the closet. Now it all makes sense. That's where all of Mari's belongings are, probably
If you're talking about the photo that flashed before basil disappeared, then that's actually a broken violin, I can try to find the video that showed it slowed down and what not
Sunny chooses not to see it, its pretty disturbing that he denies that part of his house.
And it’s further confirmed it’s there when hero comes to the house and says there is something there to the left

-visit the *Blank*,
-pet the *Bark*,
-Sunny defeats the fear of water and manages to stay afloat as Omori,
-Hero is named after a sandwich and looks just as young as his past-self in Sunny's dreams (although taller and more charming).
After the second day:
-we walk through a bunch of waterwalks in a fog,
-go down the well Hell with the anglerfish,
-exit out into a seabed with colourful anemones and (or just) corals,
-find out that everyone signed a dubious work contract with a business shark,
-visit a sunken ship called the Last Resort,
-remind Omori's friends for the third time that they should look for Basil,
-learn a new onomatopoeia from a shark ( 'JAWHAWHAWHA~'),
-remember the Manly's pronounciation of 'OHOHOHOHOHO~',
-fend off gators lead by a shark,
-fight muscle mountain Pluto who almost killed himself,
-have too many picnics,
-take a train and fight a scary cyclopean horse,
-exit the train for Hero's dreamworld - Dessert Oasis.

Maybe the reason why Omori's world is empty after Hero and Kel stayed for the night is because he used that world to run away from his loneliness.
That night, he wasn't lonely. And maybe, a hint of reality hit him, too.
Edit: a hint of reality definitely hit him.. he's visualizing his fears and what's happening irl. The world's story stuck in time when Mari hadn't died. Now that he came back to his friends.. the timeline progressed

Aubrey's job at the hotel is a serious mood, I mean THREE people
hmmm even tho i believe omori did erase basil's existence from his dream world on purpose.... i wonder why he still goes on the journey of trying to find him anyways? i mean he can literally control the friends he has in that world, right? and him letting mari leave.... i wonder if deep down he rly just wanted to be able to move on and "finding basil" and maybe accepting him bavk into his reality was part of it too? we still dunno how mari died and how is it related to basil.... maybe finding dream basil will unravel all of this as well? maaan i rly don't want anything bad to happen to him please;;
I think basil might have isolated himself before mari died, so the rest of the group started "searching" for him, maybe actually thinking he was lost bc his mom wouldnt tell them anything bc basil wanted to be alone. Like maybe when his grandma started getting sick he wanted to be around her more or his mom needed more help around the house
Also, w the mari leaving, i think its just him unwillingly remembering shes dead, which sends him to the part where hes alone, expecially now that hes seeing how everyones changed (well, exept kel ig) while he stayed pretty much the same and the fact that hes moving making it certain things couldnt go back even if he tried
Maybe? But then why would he leave Basil in the bathroom?
@@thevioletskull8158 i think omori biggest fear is facing basil? cos eveytime basil shows up there's this monster around?? maybe basil had smth to do with mari's death
Probably because it's like an adventure. The irl group wouldn't accept basil being gone fnr, so omori used this to make an adventure to further sunnys escapism. Omori was built for repression, and what better way to do that than making an adventure of finding the friend you repressed?

Me seeing Pluto go absolute super saiyan: "Holy shit! He's a god!
Manly: "Kel... Hand. Me. The KNIFE!!! 🔪
where were you when mari die
i was at house eating dorito when phone ring
“mari is kil”
“no”
LOLL I think I'm the first person to get this reference HAH
oh my god i know im late but this is the one , this is the best comment
"Didn't expect this game to turn into Wadanohara."
Cue traumatic flashbacks.
YEP
love how manly casually just "where we beat up sweetheart and took all her money"
gotta be a meme
also when he goes "thanks little bruver i kew i could cont on you"
some accent fellow human (no offense :D)
Most of the dream world character are kids
So Last Resort is making child labour
Free child labor
It's not too surprising given he's the oldest and most mature, but Hero seems to have handled Mari's death in the healthiest way; yes, he's giving up his love of cooking but he's looking to the future. A little funny after Sweetheart's Castle was such a long dungeon, but I'm kind of disappointed the Last Resort was such a short one. It's this sunken ship turned into a casino run by a shark, I feel like we could have gotten more mileage out of that setting and temporarily having a smaller party to work with. At least Mr. Jawsum followed by Pluto made for another nice boss fight. As for Orange Oasis, I honestly can't tell if it's purely optional or if it's where Manly was supposed to go. This game seems to have a lot of content you can just miss.
You can actually go to orange oasis before the hole in sweethearts castle, which you should because the one character that was dancing at the lemonade stand turns to dust.
Manly missed this, but you can go to Mari's grave with Kel and you learn Hero spent a year without leaving the house until he snapped on Kel, afterwards he basically became a workaholic. To this day he has no visited Mari's grave and if hes in your party he'll stop you from going to the grave saying, "Sorry, I dont think Im ready yet..."
Technically Kel was the one who had the healthiest recovery from Mari. He was really the only one who got over her death while everyone got held up. Hero only got better after he almost snapped at Kel for trying to cheer him up, Sunny only went outside after 4 years because of Kel, Aubrey finally opened up despite pushing Kel away, and he was the only one defending Basil while Basil was getting bullied. Kel is essentially the Hero of the story by being everyone's sunshine which is hilarious because of how simple minded he sometimes is.
I low key get scared that every time you post Omori it'll have "{Ending}" instead of a {"number"}
I got too attached to the characters..
I'd say we're at least like 4 episodes away from that, unless he does a 6 hour episode like another let's player I found
He is a complitionist,so the ending isn't gonna be the last episode.Also thus game has alternate routes .
@@Poni5 I know this game is gonna have a depressing ending (everybody in the comments says so).
But i hope that there is a "best" ending out there where not everything sucks....
Or else i am gonna have some sleepless nights.
@@schneeli8198 Every multi-choice ending RPG Maker game has a ton of bad ends and two-three good ones. So yeah they are good ones, thought I can't say for sure since I'm kinda blind and kinda spoiled.
@@-butterfly-594 I literally watched the full 6 hour video your talking about, and I must say it was definitely worth 6 hour of life.😅
Manly: *fights hooligans*
Also manly: DAMMIT KEL IF YPU WOULDVE GAVE ME MY 20 DOLLARS BACK WE WOULD HAVE HEAL RESOURCES
manly like 1 min ago: *finds 20 dollars in kel’s closet*
When the game is becoming so good, same for the story that you post two video of it in a row that are both two hours long
Yeah he posted and then quickly took down video of another game in between
3 times in a row🤓
*searches trash* "You found manlybadasshero"
OOF
I was waiting for this all day. Is that bad? I'm just enjoying this so much.
holy shit part 5 already. Dude I love your content and your voice-acting for the character. Everything seems serious and I love the feels.
WOAH, you’re on a roll on that upload rate aren’t you manly? Such a great series
The way the game continues to branch out reminds me of End Roll.
...A lot of this game has been reminding me of End Roll, to be honest.
I didn't even realize the similarities to the two games!!!
I was thinking about that game, but couldnt remember the title
Mari and Omori: wading about the water
The ghosts: baby I’m not even here. I’m an illusion
_Wonder if the songs called omori_
The whole stab at the start of each day really reminds me of end roll. we know how that ended up. A library of the mind where memories reside. its easy to tell some of the blanks, like three meant kel, the longets for aubrey, the single for sunny, a bit more difficult to pin down hero and basil. Looks like sunnys fear for spiders and water originate from a single bad incident. They all seem to really love hanging out with each other. seems like sunny really wanted to learn violin but that went sour. it sticks out like something regarding music is related to it all. The piano and such. looks like a source of something. wonder how it relates to a knife and that first something from the stairs. Basil might be more tied into that. Like as if aubrey blames him for maris death or something similar. If the shadows like maris ghost and its following basil, then probably. Sunny really likes hiding in his dream world, which is kinda like a fantasy version of his past. guess everyone is livin in the past. looks way more fun tha the real world. we went from battling obnoxious anime girl to gang fights and almost drowning. Sunny really tried getting over his fear for water, and really just looks like maris helping him along the way. Although Hero was the real hero. hes a walking pun lol. Aurbrey really seems to be messed up by all whats happened, and basil just looks like hes guilty of murder. That transition into the dream world was interesting. After a reality check the dream was pretty empty. that mirrors gonna be a jump scare one of these days.
"omori learned surf was really funny" Seeing mari colored like omori and that good bye, was probably sunny really accepting the fact that his sister had passed on and the memories and what he learnt from her proved that she loved him. This part of the game sure was heavy. i liked the underwater city aesthetic. its neat. everyone being tricked into getting a job was funny, like as if sunny was trying to imagine his version of his friends growing up and moving away too. which is why i guess he looked even more detached from that dream version of mari. Loved that the game pulled a you need to get this item and manly has had to go get both. the flowers were just a day old lol.
i can see why this was jawsome. Pluto really was terrifying. true planet form. wonder if that thing in the train was representation of basil. Pretty sure everyone on the train were dead cause they were all toast. wonder where they will all go next.
Manly, I really hope you're enjoying this game, because I'm loving it. Thank you for continuing with it and posting more. Even though I know for a certainty that my feels are liable to be hammered by those waking-world sections at any moment...
The blanks are corespondent on how many letters there are in the blank. For example, one box is “I” three boxes are “Kel” and since both Mari and Hero have four boxes, you have you use context clues, and so on and so forth
I find it very interesting how mari appears more often after the learn how to swim part where she kinda says goodbye to omori, as if hes trying even harder to hold on to her memory. Also, not so small detail, but omori is now sad in every fight before you even get to read a sad story!
Actually about that part of being sad at the start of fights, it's because of the charm Manly equipped to Omori. There are charms that automatically give an emotion when equipped. There's one for happy, angry, and sad that you can get before the swimming segment. I didn't equip one of those to Omori, and he wouldn't start sad in fights, so it's not the plot that's making him start sad in Manly's video.
@@GeonamicWarrior ohhh lol I didn't notice manly equipped smt like that, thanks for pointing it out!
Leaving off at 58:31 for the night. This game truly is something special, man.
(Sees inflatable ball pit)
"Oh man, it's Dashcon"
Remember.
do not. kill. the cat.
there is always another way out.
Yeah, I just watched someone finish the game and they were so mad at it when they figured out that wasn't what they were supposed to do. I didn't like it either :/
( Still, don't give hints, let people play how they want for their first times. )
@@corruptedteka Yeah, I'm very sorry for giving out hints! It's just... Ugh. I love animals a lot and have a traumatic experience in my past so... Even thinking about that scene makes me really anxious and teary. I'm sorry!
@@helgawhiteblue I understand, it's okay.
...this didn't age well
Whenever you say Basil’s name I can’t help but think of
GIVE EM THE OL

Underrated
Already manly? I mean, Im not complaining for a new Omori episode this soon.
HOW TO BEAT "THE HOOLIGANS": Before the fight you can grab pepper spray from Kel's mom's purse in their kitchen. It will deal 500 damage and give some new dialogue.
i like how his first instinct to mari joining the party is "dont jumpscare me"
1:22
One by one they fall asleep on the car ride home. It was a long day at the beach, after all, and everyone was exhausted.
KEL was the first to nod off then the rest.
As the sun set over the freeway, SUNNY's head accidentally drops onto AUBERY's shoulder.
The sudden jolt wakes him, but he doesn't dare to open his eyes.
He pretends to be asleep and steadies his breathing. He listens to the sound of the road
He feels the soft sun resting on his skin, and a slight tinge of pain on his nose from tomorrow's sunburn.
He is happy... very, very happy...
And he makes a vow to himself, that no matter what, he will remember this moment forever.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2:30
A puddle of juice sinks into the carpet.
Hovering above it is none other than KEL, holding an open juice box.
He looks around at his friends, who are all wearing the same face of disappointment. He lets out a guilty chuckle.
In what seems like less than a second, KEL disappears out the front door.
A tiny black kitten makes her way through the stain, leaving sloppy, wet tracks all across the carpet.
HERO's face turns red and yells for KEL, but KEL is already long gone.
HERO hands MARI some wet paper towels
It looks like they're the only adults here... and if they don't clean this up soon, the carpet is going to stain. They'll have to deal with KEL later...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
3:20
It was a hot, summer day, and all SUNNY could think about was why they couldn't do this tomorrow.
The backyard was a mess.
Planks of wood were strewn about the area. Paint stains blotched the grass thanks to BASIL and AUBREY's work.
All day SUNNY watched HERO lug planks of wood back and forth from his dad's pickup truck.
He watched KEL hammer his fingers over and over, and made note that over an hour has passed since MARI has climbed down her ladder.
I will just be their moral support.; SUNNY thought, as he sat sleepily in the shade of his favorite tree.
Of course he knew this wouldn't be the case.
Soon his friend will be asking for his help and he won't be able to refuse.
The treehouse is for everyone, so it's only fair that everyone puts some work into it.
SUNNY knows this and agrees... but reluctantly. He slides up and wobbles his way into the mess.
He knows he would put in his fair share. It just had to be on the hottest day in summer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
4:15
This year, SUNNY was lucky enough to get assigned to a desk next to the small window.
Everyday during class, SUNNY would gaze listlessly through the opening... at the shadows of the tree, the clouds creeping overhead.
His mind drifted elsewhere... into his own worlds, his own stories, his own adventures.
He had a habit of doing this. It was easy for his to get lost.
Today was the same as any other. SUNNY stared vacantly out the small window as the clouds passed one by one.
Suddenly, a hand playfully slaps his back, snapping him out of his reverie. SUNNY looks away from the opening.
KEL smiles. He motions that class is over and that it's finally time for lunch. It's pizza day today, and they need to bolt to the cafeteria before it's all gone.
SUNNY's stomach growls. He looks at the small window one last time.
He would have to continue his adventure another day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:33
It is sunset. A strange statue watches over the hidden lake. It might have meant something significant in the past, but time has made its engraving illegible.
Either way, it doesn't matter to the company visiting today. They're only here to use it as a diving board
The brothers take turns jumping off the statue.
HERO jumps first. Then KEL. Then HERO again. Then KEL again.
The brothers gleefully urge SUNNY to join them, and after some careful thought, SUNNY warily agrees.
SUNNY shuffles up to the statue, and looks down at the moving water. He can hear his heartbeat. His ears begin to ring.
His legs feel as if they would give out at any time. He tries to focus on his breathing...
He feels something crawling on his shoulder and his eyes fly open to meet with those of a black spider.
In an instant, SUNNY loses all sense and hurls himself into the lake. Water fills his nose. He exerts his limbs, but the water is stronger.
He's too weak, too helpless... or that is what he believes.
SUNNY shuts his eyes... and waits for the brothers to save him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:56
Everyone is over again today. The special occasion is Saturday morning.
From 7:00AM to 11:00AM, a group of six friends eat a delicious homemade breakfast and watch T.V. together.
It's the most enjoyable part of every week.
SUNNY looks at the clock, 8:00AM. Two hours left.
He would be able to watch with everyone else until 10:00AM, when his tutor arrives.
SUNNY grimaces. What he thought would be a rewarding hobby has been nothing more than a nuisance.
Instead of watching the shows with the rest of his friends, he'll be the only one to miss out.
If only he could watch the last hour with everyone else.
If only he didn't have to play the violin...
God I love this game so much
Holy crap you legend
Every time the video ends I am just "UHG! NO! I want to know more!!!"
I am starting to see OMORI things on my feed and I don't want to touch any of them because I don't wanna be spoiled!! But I don't have the funds to get the game. ;A;
Actually I’m pretty sure this game takes place in the 2000s cause in the foe facts OMORI describes a dial up as “ancient” and those were only surpassed in 2000 so....
Broadband came out in the mid 90s. In fact in the late 90s I had broadband internet as RoadRunner was becoming common place. Due to the presence of the SNES which wasn't discontinued till 1999 (although remained in sales and circulation) the game is probably trying to aim for a qausi ahistorical spot of 1996 - 1999.
when I played it I keep thinking it's around 1990-1999 but he also has a quite good-looking laptop in his dream and that throws me off to 2000+ instead lol. Now I don't know what year it should be but it's definitely earlier than 2005-2010 if i guess.
ok im confused- When everyone was gone in dreamworld, Mari accompanied Omori right? but afterwards, Mari is still at the picnic basket. Why is that?
Assuming that ghost is a thing, her spirit has always accompanied Sunny/Omori in his dreams until she couldn't anymore. However, the dream Mari still exists in the Dream World, hence why she's still there.
@@Raidenze cuz she’s alive? Im assuming the dreamworld is their childhood memories doe. Finding Basil is probably just another memories of them but this time, Omori is facing the corrupted memory.
I think the real ghost Mari just hijack his dream to say goodbye one last time before he moves away. That's why everything is so foggy and everyone is gone. She's also the only one that called him "Sunny" instead of Omori in his dream. Also, the Mari at the swimming scene has the same black and white color just like Omori while the one at the picnic still has a normal dream world blue color. That's why when you first saw the picnic Mari at the resort she gives a confused reaction at Omori. I also saw a lot of that white flowers that carry the meaning "my thought will follow you through your dream" in the library (or something like that). Maybe ghost Mari hijacks his dream through those white flowers (who knows lol).
It's probably the real Mari and the Mari Sunny saw in his childhood, (mature, always there for him, always cheering him on)
I assume the Mari that accompanied Omori, or rather Sunny, was a more real representation of her, that's why she goes away, because she's dead, while the picnic one is the representation of her in that dream world.
Whenever you collect a key, a black hole appears in its place. You can actually interact with this for some neat cutscenes and even an extra area! It's not much but it does provide a bit of extra lore.
Hmmm based on the number of letter blanks, I think the memory with someone falling asleep on his shoulder was of Omori and Aubrey. I'm sensing that both Aubrey and Omori might have had mutual crushes on each other when they were little.
