I cannot tell you guys how proud I am of this video. I love this game with all my heart and shout out to my editor, Ahvahh for doing the hard yards with me :3 This took like 4 months to record and then put together!! I hope you enjoy!!
I believe you also have to look into all the holes that appear when you find a correct hangman-key to get that final scene Edit: I was wrong, you just need to water the flowers
2:41:03 do you want to know how BASIL know to tie a noose ? If you want to know, remember when MARI teaching how to make a FLOWER CROWN ? When you need a flower crown, you need a rope and tie it
@@eyedonutnose5181 Basil definitely knows how to tie a rope to hang plants in pots as well, so there’s no doubt he knows how to tie a noose bc of his gardening 🤔
Omori is the game that made me finally tell my parents I was mentally unwell. It was during the pandemic, so I really saw myself in Omori, especially because I was drifting apart from my friends like him. I realized that like him, I needed to fight my demons. Fast forward, god 4 years later, and I’m still here. I’ve been in therapy for 3 years, on antidepressants for 2. I’m a sophomore in college, I have a friend group whose had my back with support since my grandpa is dying. The fandom of this game is abysmal. But I will forever be grateful, and hell I probably owe my life to it.
We don't claim whoever you ran into, but I describe this game as either free therapy or $20/$60 realization you should seek therapy, be on a medication to help manage, or both. Some have said this game gave them depression or made it worse, wishing they had taken the content warnings seriously, and while I can't speak for them, I think the only thing the game did was make them realize the depth of their depression and thoughts of suicide. The game didn't give them anything they didn't already have. It's important to decompress after a game such as this. Zelda: ocarina of time was such a game for me as a kid. The mood for majora's mask is a lot more somber, the clock, anxiety inducing, the game was more difficult than ocarina of time. I could only play it so long before I needed a more uplifting game in its place because the tone of it dampened my mood. Not a lot, but enough. So I played oot because I could screw around and had no time crunch/responsibilities; I knew the game and most of its secrets and it was still fun. It was a comfort game.
it made me see that i was lying to myself about stuff from 6 month or more i don't remember it made 2 years now im not well don't even feel like myself i never say anything to anyone irl only on internet and it don't do much and it get a little worse everyday
I can't have any friends other than my siblings because I'm homeschooled even in highschool...and all but one of them are so much older than me so I don't feel comfortable talking to them about myself, it doesn't feel like they can understand me as someone my age would. I don't know if I'm mentally unwell so I'm scared of talking to my parents about it--I keep thinking they'll just say that there's nothing wrong with me, and I can talk to my family even though I don't know how to talk to them.
I’m happy for you. I’m happy that you got to experience such a great game that resonated with you so much, and got you to get yourself to a better state.
No matter how many times I watch the final fight i cry my eyes out. This game represents depression so accurately and so beautifully i have no words to explain. The way sunny can get himself over his shadow, over the intrusive thoughts, its so meaningfull... This game is pure art, and I really hope that me and everyone else dealing with depression can get over their "somethings" some day. Stay strong ❤
2 things about Hero I thought I should mention in case you didn't know: 1. If you visit Mari's grave before 1 day left, Kel will open up about how H ero was after Mari's death. He became a shut-in like Sunny, only focusing on studies for almost a year, and when Kel tried to talk to him about it one day, Hero snapped and yelled at him until bothof them were crying and their parents came to (solely) comfort Hero 2. On 2 Days Left, if you go back to the piano room after you talk to Hero, you can see him sitting at the piano, breaking down crying I really feel bad for the poor guy, I feel like one of the results of one of the neutral endings would end up leading to Hero commiting suicide, given how he talked.
He really is insanely strong. His long time girlfriend supposedly commits suicide out of nowhere for reasons he is completely unaware of and all the people he has loved and cared for are shattered apart. The fact that he managed to actually get into college and get through it is insane.
I like to headcanon that part of the reason Hero fulfilled his parents' wishes to become a doctor is to become a psychologist to make sure no more people did what Mari supposedly did
Nobody notices that Basil says it’s “nice to see [Sunny], if only for a little while” *before* he knew Sunny was moving away. Boy was planning suicide from the beginning :(
idk if people notice, but in the fight with basil, he tries to unlive sunny just to unlive himself after his words "something behind you, I'll get rid once and for all."Don't be scared, I'm scared too, but this is for the best" and the fact that if you wake up and don't check basil in the bathroom he ends up unliving himself proves your point😭
He also gives Sunny his photo album before he knows Sunny is moving- giving away cherished possessions (or possessions in general) is one of the most common signs that someone is about to commit
@@k0w0res oh I never thought abt this...that's why basil was so uncomfortable the whole game (also bc of the something) he probably was scared that being next to his old friends would be painful
I finished Omori about a month ago. I broke down during Final Duet and spent an hour just sobbing alone in my bedroom after the credits rolled. I have a younger brother who I care so much about, and the thought of anything happening to him or him ever having to go through something like this wrecked me. This game is raw and unapologetic tragedy that both broke me down and healed me. By far the most profound video game I've ever had the pleasure of playing, and the only piece of media that has ever made me cry this much. Not ashamed to say I cried again watching this video. Thank you for giving this game a chance, Nino. I hope it serves as a reminder to you and everybody else the importance of forgiveness and friendship.
This is actually only just a bit of the game, there’s WAY MORE. WTF values that change dialogue every time you replay the game, staying inside and going back to bed when Kel knocks starts a new route and unlocks the Neutral Endinf, there’s a whole ass other area in Headspace that you don’t need to go to at all but it’s funny so who cares, etc.
@@jczbas I’m begging and praying that funni streamer luck will give Nino the WTF 13 value dialogue for Humphrey in that one room (someone in chat’s probably gonna have to point it out tho, otherwise Nino may not interact with that Humphrey again). If you know you know.
@@Fossilizedsapwithbugsinit1087 I was thinking of something more along the lines of - death via allergic reaction. Since it's the Wasp that killed him
This was an amazing way to re-experience the game, and the humor balanced the game well. Good enjoyable editing and a good runtime, I don’t watch playthroughs often and comment on them even less, I’m more of a video essay guy myself, but this was definitely a banger.
I went into this video completely blind right after getting the news that one of my grandparents passed away, just thinking "oh it's one of the creators I like this'll help"-- I wept. I wept like a small child. I tried so hard to hold it together. Absolutely cathartic, I'm glad I took a break in the middle, amazing story, I kinda want to go hug my little sister now. As always, looking forward to the next one.
If you didn't catch it, the part where Granny Basil is out in the middle of the road and fades away is because she died in the hospital. That's what caused him to start breaking down more than he already was, because he was basically raised by her.
SPOILER WARNING The intro is so great, when I first joined the OMORI fandom I had the impression that it was cute and Mari did it herself and not Sunny and Basil. Then I saw the truth. I couldn’t bring myself to hate Sunny and Basil even though they killed Mari, a comfort character of mine. I don’t think anyone can bring themself to hate Sunny and Basil. They are kid, they were 12 that night. It was one of the worst emotional outbursts for Sunny and Mari just so happened to accidentally cause it, Basil turned out to see it and in a moment of seeing someone who he loves (a young pure love that Basil wasn’t aware of) kill someone who was an older sibling figure of his and he didn’t want Sunny to be harmed. So how could you blame either of them? Sunny may have some resentment for Basil for what happened on the day of the recital but Sunny deep down knows that Basil meant to harm and he wanted to protect Sunny, because he loves Sunny. The guilt eats away at the two. Their SOMETHINGs resemble Mari’s body, Headspace resembles Mari. Mari loves (platonic sibling love) Basil, Mari loves Sunny. I personally believe in ghosts and like to imagine that Mari was there with Sunny, playing along with his fantasy to help her sibling, then she had to stop before Sunny went to far so he could move on, because she doesn’t want that for Sunny. I’m a younger sibling and I would like to say that Sunny wasn’t old enough for him to get to know Mari and he was too young for Mari to get to know him, but they still loved each other. In all honesty even if my sibling dies and it isn’t my fault I’d be so fucking sad because I want to get to know them. Edit: why would Basil give Sunny the photo album before he knew Sunny would move? Why did Basil go to the lake without telling anyone even though he can’t swim, he didn’t know Aubrey’s group of new friend were there, so why would he go? The answer is heavily implied but with how a few endings play out it’s more obvious.
@@froggies5103 WHY ARE YOU CHECKING THE COMMENTS ON A VIDEO ABOUT A GAME MATE? YOU GOTTA PREPARE FOR SPOILERS, I’M NOT SAVING YOU WITH A TRIGGER WARNING YOU’RE COMING DOWN WITH US WHO MADE THE SAME MISTAKE YOU HAVE
I found out that the bears have very low attack if u remove their anger and let them free for the items and there are enough healing items to last the rest of the game in the dungeon
I will never get tired of watching people play this amazing game. I was one of the people who knew the story before playing the game myself. I finished the game last month. I always cry when listening to The Duet. Like absolutely SOBBING. And I cry whenever the kids are being friends. This story is not just about Mari and Sunny, its about friends drifting away and growing up. It reminds me of how simple life was as a kid.
This game genuinely upset me once I finished it and every time I saw something related to this game for over a year after it made my skin crawl. It wasn't until I was finally able to watch a video essay that I realized why I was so deeply bothered by Omori... It's cause I relate too much to Sunny. I struggle with Maladaptive Daydreaming. I don't know if this was Omocat's intention, I think this game depicts it fairly well. The self-isolation it can cause, the reliance on imaginary scenarios, and even how almost desperate the daydreams become to keep you daydreaming as you get closer to reality. My reasons for daydreaming are not at all like Sunny's, but I still see a lot of myself in this character in a way I rarely see in any other media. This game is absolutely one of my favorite pieces of media ever.
This will always be my favorite game. I haven't had decent mental health until the beginning of this school year and at the end of 8th grade I nearly pulled a Mari. At the beginning of 10th grade, I decided to check out Omori too see why my friends loved it so much, and it literally improved my mental health. It made me realize how devastated my friends would be if I was gone, especially since the characters in omori had quite a bit of parallels with my own friend group. Thanks for making this vid, it's nice to see one of my favorite youtubers play a game that means so much to me.
The thought of him seeing the other ending would have scared me for life! I only looked into this game a few days ago and what made it worse is the person I watched played it played it because it was his daughter’s favorite game. She unal¡ved herself four months before he played it.
Damn, that one got around I guess. I couldn't bring myself to get more than a minute or two into it - it felt like it was going to be really personal. But it's also what made me finally pick up the game. I'm really glad I randomly clicked on it.
1:37:37 two things. 1, he is so strong to the point where he lacks a neck- 2, if the camera moved any bit down or Pluto moved up there would be… CONSEQUENCES…
I lasted the entirety of the 3 hours not shedding a tear. and then the last 5 minutes when Sunny smiled at Basil, and Basil smiled back. And I lost the fight. Holy shit what a good game
Gets your snacks and tissues kid. Nino uploaded and we’re all going to sob. Seriously though. This game. Is beautiful and fucked me up in so many ways. For anyone who wants to play this, even after watching this, please do. It’s fuckin legendary writing, art, beautiful in every aspect depicting the inner corners of depression and anxiety
I started the video and you just talking about how impactful OMORI is made me start tearing up. It's been so long since I played the game, literal years, but it still brings out so many emotions. Sometimes I wonder/fear if any game will ever hold up next to OMORI. What if OMORI is my ultimate game and I don't find another like it? I literally google "Games like OMORI" here and there just to fill that void I felt after finishing the game and it still hasn't been filled. Now don't get me wrong, I've played good games since then but nothing that compares to OMORI for me.
Hey, I don't know if you'll actually like it and if it shares the same reasons on why you like omori, but for me personally In Stars And Time made me feel in something of a similar way. It's about a timeloop and watching the main character's health deteriorate as they desperately try to escape it - it's also an rpg like omori! So, if you're looking for game suggestions, maybe look into it. (it is a lot shorter than omori though)
i was incredibly fixated on this game back in early 2021 when i was probably at my absolute lowest mentally. this game really helped. while i wanted to badly to just disappear, omori helped me realize that my friends and family would be devastated, no matter how many times my brain tried to convince me they wouldn't. this game is a treasure. :)
Honestly if omori was to exist without any of the comically traumatizing parts (basically if omori is just headspace), the game would still be psycho-horror due to this part alone
Also random fun fact: The game was 18+ specifically because of this part. When you have WTF Value to 13, a random humphrey will change its dialogue to 'I f_cking love air conditioning'. The swearing on that one luck-based one-liner is what made omori 18+
It's been years, and final duet still manages to make me cry everytime. I love that you got to experience this game. It's such an amazing experience and everytime one of my favorite TH-camrs chooses to play it makes me so happy. Thank you, I love you. And before you say it back, look in the mirror and say it to yourself.
The way they keep forgetting (and then remembering and needing to remind/convince their friends) that they need to find Basil is EXACTLY how some of my more wild/nightmarish dreams go. Idk if thats what they were going for but amazing how they captured that feeling!
@@YourMom69456i haven’t gotten a chance to finish the video because i’m at work 💔💔 i’ll update as soon as i finish it though but i’m scared based on how many people are saying “good luck” 😅
I may be at 2:01:07 but fuck the waterworks are starting- curse Stranger’s dialogue and how lots of dialogue I would love to voice (example Basils words in the fight between him and Sunny and all of Stranger’s dialogue), LIKE WHY, WHY IS OMORI SO TRAGICALLY BEAUTIFUL?
Man that fight is still the most emotional to me, knowing the 'somethings' are just metaphorical that the fight is literally sunny trying to get the garden shears basil intended to use on himself out of his hand until it escalates, its just two mentally traumatized kids having panic attacks and beating the hell out of each other, messed up
When it comes to RPG Makers, I really like and recommend The Strange Men Series, is a collection of four very cool games that together form one single story.
Its been around 3 years since i first met Omori, and I've always seen it 10 minute digestible. I knew all the easter eggs, the truth and everything, but seeing it now makes it so much better. I really cried, and I genuinely don't remember crying since I was a little kid. I'll stick with this game forever and nothing can stop me ❤
Probably something like the 23rd playthrough of Omori I've watched (and the 24th I've bawled my eyes out to), and this was easily my favorite, props to you and your editor. I'm officially a fan :)
I’m going comment this before I get in, and I might leave a comment after I finish watching this as well. The game Omori my favorite game to ever exist, it has been my favorite game for more than a year now. The character Basil is also my favorite character to ever exist in any type of media. I’m excited to watch this because this is my favorite game and the person who is playing it is just amazing. I’m so excited!
I’m replying to myself because I finally finished watching! (I watched 90% of it the day I made the other comment but then got busy lol) (Btw I will be spoiling) I’m crying, this made me so happy. Basil being Nino’s favorite actually made my week because Basil is my favorite too! By a long shot as well. I’m also so so happy he got the secret ending, I was hoping he would as I know he would appreciate seeing Basil’s something go away (well I did at least). This reaction has to be my favorite I ever watched, probably because the person play loved Basil as much as I do :)
Bro I know im watching this 2 months late but this is easily and by far the best playthrough video. It provides some funny moments and lets you understand the story whilst cutting it down to a movie long video. I wish there was a 12 episode season of this game because this story of different children coping with a traumatic event is so beautiful. Thanks to you and your editor/s for making the closest thing to that :) Btw, if you clicked no to continue after losing to omori you wouldve had the bad ending where you don't confront your friends and jump off the hospital as you accept what happened but also accept omori's view on it as unforgivable
not so fun fact: if you lose Hangman, the last one makes it obvious that it's MARI hanging on a rope. and SOMETHING jump-scares you and crashes the game. 100% real trust me.
This game didn't proyect depression on me It gave me grief. I now miss Mari while I dream about how it would be to have a big sister like that. I feel empty because this game showed me the value and impact of things we hold dear
I think the ending was sunny repenting by living with the guilt, facing the consequences of what he did rather than succumbing to it which is considered the "easier" way out God, that was heartwrenching
So many people think Hero would lose his shit upon knowing what actually happened, but what I think would happen is that he'd be so shocked by the revelation that he'd just freeze in place as if a spider appeared, and then one of the other two would act first, likely Aubrey, and likely her apologizing for the second time for bullying Basil when he did nothing wrong... well, aside from the fact that he's the one who thought of hiding the truth. That's only *my* headcanon, though. The actual ending is, I think, showing quite accurately how much relief Sunny and Basil got upon letting the truth go out of their headspaces, by showing SOMETHING fade away. Their trauma and guilt is likely not completely gone, but the truth is, and SOMETHING is the truth, it's literally Mari's hair and eyes the last time they saw her.
Something I didn't realize until like a week after finishing the game, when the game was still stuck in my head and I was just constantly thinking about it, was that Sunny's parents know that Sunny and Basil faked Mari's suicide. Think about it, there is no way a death like this wouldn't be investigated, and it would be fairly easy for authorities to see that it wasn't the suicide that killed Mari. The parents would be told, so they would know it wasn't suicide and that Sunny tried to cover up accidentally killing Mari, and the difference in Sunny's parents' reactions to that fact likely led to their separation. There is a scene with the shadow of a man cutting down a tree where he says "you are not my son", which is likely Sunny's actual dad cutting down the tree they hung Mari up in, and the shadows response is likely Sunny's Dad's actual response to the truth. Sunny's Mom's reaction is shown in one scene with her on the couch in their living room where she says she can't lose Sunny too. This leads me to think their mother wanted to hide the truth from their friends and community to protect Sunny, while their father couldn't stand the idea of people thinking Mari's death was a suicide. The authorities obviously didn't press charges since it was an accident and Sunny is a kid, so they likely left it up to the family for how they wanted to handle the truth. Their father couldn't stand lying about Mari to everyone around them, yet realized that revealing the truth would only hurt Sunny, so he likely left to avoid both. Their mother kept up the lie to protect Sunny, but over time she likely realized the burden the lie was having on both her and Sunny and everyone's memory of Mari, so she probably started looking to move so they could avoid it themselves and start anew.
This game truly changed me for the better. Made me realise stuff about myself I never knew, I truly saw I was mentally unwell for the 1st time, hell it's even questioning my sexuality. It truly changed my ways with every single possibility. I love this game with a passion, and every single detail of it.
Basic summary of how Mari died and the incident for people who don’t get it: Mari and Sunny were getting ready for thier first recital together and Sunny was nervous. He never liked violin but only wanted to play it to play with Mari. Mari wanted everything to be perfect so that put a lot of pressure on Sunny, so he threw his violin down the stairs, breaking it which made Mari get mad at Sunny. In a fit of rage from Mari getting angry at him, Sunny pushed Mari down the stairs to his broken violin. With being pushed down the stairs and landing a broken violin, Mari died but Sunny didn’t realize it and thought she was asleep. Meanwhile, Basil came to visit Sunny and Mari before the recital and saw everything take place and helped Sunny carry Mari to the bedroom. When she didn’t wake up, Sunny didn’t know what to do so Basil told him they should hang Mari in the tree so that Sunny wouldn’t get in trouble. That’s the reason Basil said “Please forgive me” and why Sunny feels so guilty cause he killed Mari and even faked that she killed herself. But the parents weren’t as dumb as everyone else and knew what Sunny and Basil did, that’s why Sunny’s dad disliked him and his mom wanted to move to forget everything.
Edit that I forgot to add: Basil also believes that Sunny was innocent in killing Mari and that “Something” made Sunny do it, that’s why he keeps seeing it.
I can not wait to slowly make my way through this game as watch your reactions, gonna be awhile as just the prologue took me 8 hours but ill keep coming back
Had to wait 2 weeks to watch the full video 🩷 no matter how many times I watch playthrough of Omari I always get emotional but I can’t help but watch, its beautifully made and so worth the raw emotion I feel and the love I feel for each character 🩷 Ty Nino for the reminder of this game
I've been meaning to play this game forever now and I finally did by watching you play it, this game is beautiful and now I'm crying. Thank you for making this :)
coming back and watching this after my friend tried to pull a Mari is gonna be such a fun experience when I get to the end of this /sarcasm. Currently at 10:44 and when I see aforementioned friend at school tomorrow I will be giving it a dam hug, same with my other friend whos struggled with all of this, all three of us have struggled with this before
I literally woke up at 1am randomly and was looking for a video to sleep in.. its now 4am and i cried during the end even though i played OMORI like 5 times.. Thanks for the video and the good cry😭
2:29:43 i haven't realised that sunny's backing off here until you put light on it. That could be foredhadowing to the fact that basil did do something way worse than Aubrey, as he took part in setting up the scene
actually i think that's because sunny realized that the reason aubrey was bullying basil is over something that sunny did (but basil took the blame for)
2:34:55 i havent finished the video so im not sure if this is mentioned or not. but the number 143 means "i love you" and it can be seen in some omori easter eggs i think.
holy shit... its been a while since i played omori and i watched a lot of gameplays since then, and i can confidently say that yours was one of my favorites. im bawling again
This was so emotional and so beautiful I love this game so much but... Nino gotta play the other route/endings, he's not traumatized enough from this game
this video couldnt of come out at a better time! I just got the true/secret ending yesterday on my first play thru so i'm finally open to watching play throughs but watching a like- 15 part series is hard for me so this is perfect!! this game almost made me cry so many times its crazy I'm someone who like- never cries at games
Im gonna be honest, ive watched this vid 3 times now and ive balled my eyes out every single time. The first time i watched this video was a day after my cat died. Not only did this video help me process my emotions but its helped me to confront my problems and ive been working up the courage to reach out to my mum. Thank you, nino and avaah(im so sorry i dont know how to spell your name) for making this video and if anyone is going through a tough time rn, you dont have to fight alone❤
This game holds a close place on my heart, it always wreck me watching it, but i just can't stop watching it. i've lost my mom and two brothers already, so when i first played this game i got destroyed and spent a long time crying, but in the end, it became one of my favorite games of all time, i'm glad that people enjoys it.
Over 3 years later, and I still cannot get through the last sequence without bawling. So damn good. I wish I had another journey to go on that was this emotional, but I can only settle for games that don't hit as close to home
Don't know Omori, about to watch this! Before watching: Is it a horror type of game? It seems cute, but depressing maybe? I still think life sucks. After watching: This was the best thing ever! I love the horror in it! And the things we do in the White Space!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the game, Omori truly is a masterpiece, and it’s one of the games I truly believe everyone should get to experience once in their life. I’ve been very slowly working on an OMORI themed expansion to Stardew Valley, it’s slow going, but I hope you get to play it one day!
never really heard much about omori until a little bit ago, but this video has made me cry so much ive fallen in love with it! you did an amazing job nino:)
After finishing it I had to hide this game in my library because I was destroyed and everytime I even saw a picture of it I would spiral into panic. Today I feel brave enough to attempt to watch your video. Here I go!
It was this game and spiritfarer that changed how I view video games and art in general. When Nino says that this is a life changing game, he’s not lying.
I love Omori, it just has a special place in my heart. It was so amazing how they input do much emotion and showed how others feel when there in a dark place.
Everything about Omori was new to me. I just saw it in a promo on Steam when it came out and decided to play. Went in completely blind. It's my favorite game by far. I still feel abundant love and connection to everything in this world. I think what made me like it so much is that I really wanted to take my time. I see some streamers wanting to rush it, finish it quickly or just get to the story bits fast, but I went in wanting to immerse myself in this world and I think that's the reason why I liked it so much. I often felt like Omori, getting distracted by the colorful and pretty world of Headspace, and then being slapped with the reality and trauma slowly creeping in. I wanted more time there, I wanted more time with those characters and that game. And when I finally got to the heart of the story..... oh boy . I related to Sunny real bad. It's been years and I'm still in love with this game, wishing even more people could experience it. It was a great gameplay to watch 😊
Everything you said at the start, I have the exact same response. OMORI will always be my favourite game. Especially the "erase your memory to experience it all over again" part, because I watched Merg play all of it. 5:02 "OH YEAH IT'S GONNA GO WRONG" -me as soon as i heard that
love this game so much. as odd as it is, it brings me a lot of comfort even in the end. as an older sister to a little brother, i feel like i know intrinsically that mari would do anything for sunny to realize that she wants him to move on and be happy. its what i would do, no matter what
Amazing video, watched it all in one go. Kinda wished you would’ve reloaded the save and tried to follow the headspace friends too for tye bad ending. Don’t forget if you want there’s another route where you don’t open the door to kel and get a full on dream world playthrough. Quite more disturbing and more rpg stuff.
Man you missed SO MANY stuff there! Like Easter eggs or little side quests (which would be as flowers at the end) and you didn't look at the mirror after seeing dead Mari. Also after you seing Mari playing piano and Hero intrurapted you, you could enter that room again and see him crying. You could help Mavrick, Angel. You could visit Mari's grave with Kel only and listen his story time. You could go to secret spot with gang and do picnic too and it otherworldly you could visit to other place (like candy Egypt stuff) and meet cool boss with some funny jokes. There are some other endings like if you choose not to open door for Kel it would have turn up completely other way. Or if you didn't enter to Basil's room and went to bed, or just go to home. Or if succumbed fight with Omori. (This ending has another banger music)
After all these years I didn't know you could get a discount if you tagged Hero on the toll, I'm just eager to grind on the cave because I don't like being underleveled
This game changed me. As someone who has an older sibling and as someone who is in the process of 'growing up', words really can't express how this game makes me feel. No matter how many times I play it, or watch videos on it, some scenes always make me cry.
00:00 The last game that made me speechless was the original Dark Souls. I barely understood the story at the time, but when the credits song rolled, i KNEW that it was an once in a lifetime experience.
Man id love a game set from basils perspective like after sunny stops going out, seeing someone else dealing with similar but different trauma from the same event with his guilt eating him alive metaphorically, sad stuff, would also be cool to see him and sunny being best friends prior more and just his life in general, dont really get much of that
I completely broke down near the end of the game, but the main thing that really got me was the fact that in the last time you're in headspace you can't water basil's flowers anymore. After every main quest I always went back to basil's garden and watered it for some comfort/extra health (even if it was like nothing). When I couldn't water it anymore I broke down crying and this damn game made my grades drop for weeks BUT I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IT WAS SO GOOD
Very few stories are willing to do what Omori does. It's very easy to make bad things happen for the sake of making the audience feel bad for the characters, but it takes careful planning and guts to actively make the audience themselves feel bad in a way that's compelling. Omori isn't just a brilliant story, it's a harsh lesson that everyone needs to learn at some point in there lives.
It's very hard to find the balance of making your readers suffer, and making your characters suffer. If you do to much on the characters, it feels like it's being shoved down the readers throat like: "Hey feel bad!" I.e. vocalizing a sad story is sad (Korra saying "That's the saddest story I've ever heard") and not letting the readers actually feel it- Like being spoken for. Omori has great writing!
After playing this game it's easily become one of my favorite games of all time. I've been meaning to watch someone play it for themselves and see how they react to the game, but I haven't been able to find anyone I enjoyed watching play Omori until this playthrough. Lovely video, thank you
I cannot tell you guys how proud I am of this video. I love this game with all my heart and shout out to my editor, Ahvahh for doing the hard yards with me :3 This took like 4 months to record and then put together!! I hope you enjoy!!
Eeeee! 4months for a 3 hr video? This is awesome work Nino! Thanks!💃
It turned out AMAZING! I love this!
Good video. Now play we happy few and experience the average Londoner’s life
Do you think you'll ever react to the bad ending? I highly recommend it even if you just watch it on your own time.
Agreed
Fun fact: The scene where Sunny and Basil smile at each other at the end is caused by you watering Basil's flowers in the dream world.
what.. either way I'm crying. 🤐😭😦😧😨
I believe you also have to look into all the holes that appear when you find a correct hangman-key to get that final scene
Edit: I was wrong, you just need to water the flowers
@@CherryCherub97 Oh really? I didn't know that
@@CherryCherub97 I don’t think so because when I played, I didn’t look through the holes but watered the plants :)
@@CherryCherub97 Incorrect, it's only determined by # of flowers watered.
I always love torturing myself by watching other people play Omori for the first time and crying my eyes out for the 17th time
relatable
Same.
Same, in fact I actively look for playthroughs of people
Yeah ;-;@diyambarcil2310
Real
“If something happens to Basil, I’m gonna cry” you’re gonna cry anyway, my dude
:(
Accurate tho
2:41:03 do you want to know how BASIL know to tie a noose ? If you want to know, remember when MARI teaching how to make a FLOWER CROWN ? When you need a flower crown, you need a rope and tie it
when i get my hands on you
Alternatively, there's definitely some support for a narrative reading that Basil struggled with his mental health more than he let on...
Wait does it actually have to be specifically a hangman noose? Ive seen flower crowns before nd i dont think you use a noose for it...
@@eyedonutnose5181 Basil definitely knows how to tie a rope to hang plants in pots as well, so there’s no doubt he knows how to tie a noose bc of his gardening 🤔
Nah just for that im touching you bro
Omori is the game that made me finally tell my parents I was mentally unwell. It was during the pandemic, so I really saw myself in Omori, especially because I was drifting apart from my friends like him. I realized that like him, I needed to fight my demons. Fast forward, god 4 years later, and I’m still here. I’ve been in therapy for 3 years, on antidepressants for 2. I’m a sophomore in college, I have a friend group whose had my back with support since my grandpa is dying.
The fandom of this game is abysmal. But I will forever be grateful, and hell I probably owe my life to it.
We don't claim whoever you ran into, but I describe this game as either free therapy or $20/$60 realization you should seek therapy, be on a medication to help manage, or both. Some have said this game gave them depression or made it worse, wishing they had taken the content warnings seriously, and while I can't speak for them, I think the only thing the game did was make them realize the depth of their depression and thoughts of suicide. The game didn't give them anything they didn't already have. It's important to decompress after a game such as this.
Zelda: ocarina of time was such a game for me as a kid. The mood for majora's mask is a lot more somber, the clock, anxiety inducing, the game was more difficult than ocarina of time. I could only play it so long before I needed a more uplifting game in its place because the tone of it dampened my mood. Not a lot, but enough. So I played oot because I could screw around and had no time crunch/responsibilities; I knew the game and most of its secrets and it was still fun. It was a comfort game.
it made me see that i was lying to myself about stuff from 6 month or more i don't remember it made 2 years now im not well don't even feel like myself i never say anything to anyone irl only on internet and it don't do much and it get a little worse everyday
I can't have any friends other than my siblings because I'm homeschooled even in highschool...and all but one of them are so much older than me so I don't feel comfortable talking to them about myself, it doesn't feel like they can understand me as someone my age would.
I don't know if I'm mentally unwell so I'm scared of talking to my parents about it--I keep thinking they'll just say that there's nothing wrong with me, and I can talk to my family even though I don't know how to talk to them.
I’m happy for you. I’m happy that you got to experience such a great game that resonated with you so much, and got you to get yourself to a better state.
@@semidecent4395 your parents took it better than mine did, congrats on getting therapy
No matter how many times I watch the final fight i cry my eyes out. This game represents depression so accurately and so beautifully i have no words to explain.
The way sunny can get himself over his shadow, over the intrusive thoughts, its so meaningfull... This game is pure art, and I really hope that me and everyone else dealing with depression can get over their "somethings" some day.
Stay strong ❤
Wendy?! Qui poha tu ta fazendo aqui?
2 things about Hero I thought I should mention in case you didn't know:
1. If you visit Mari's grave before 1 day left, Kel will open up about how H ero was after Mari's death. He became a shut-in like Sunny, only focusing on studies for almost a year, and when Kel tried to talk to him about it one day, Hero snapped and yelled at him until bothof them were crying and their parents came to (solely) comfort Hero
2. On 2 Days Left, if you go back to the piano room after you talk to Hero, you can see him sitting at the piano, breaking down crying
I really feel bad for the poor guy, I feel like one of the results of one of the neutral endings would end up leading to Hero commiting suicide, given how he talked.
He really is insanely strong. His long time girlfriend supposedly commits suicide out of nowhere for reasons he is completely unaware of and all the people he has loved and cared for are shattered apart. The fact that he managed to actually get into college and get through it is insane.
I like to headcanon that part of the reason Hero fulfilled his parents' wishes to become a doctor is to become a psychologist to make sure no more people did what Mari supposedly did
this is why hero is my (2nd) favorite
I think it's worth mentioning that when Hero saw kel crying after he yelled at him, he comforted kel when their parents didn't.
Wait, that's not canon?@@HeavenlyMercury2800
Nobody notices that Basil says it’s “nice to see [Sunny], if only for a little while” *before* he knew Sunny was moving away. Boy was planning suicide from the beginning :(
:( damn it, man.
idk if people notice, but in the fight with basil, he tries to unlive sunny just to unlive himself after
his words "something behind you, I'll get rid once and for all."Don't be scared, I'm scared too, but this is for the best" and the fact that if you wake up and don't check basil in the bathroom he ends up unliving himself proves your point😭
@@ragvindrr Basil stabs sunny in the eye thinking it’s Something. Basil is not ok :(
He also gives Sunny his photo album before he knows Sunny is moving- giving away cherished possessions (or possessions in general) is one of the most common signs that someone is about to commit
@@k0w0res oh I never thought abt this...that's why basil was so uncomfortable the whole game (also bc of the something) he probably was scared that being next to his old friends would be painful
I finished Omori about a month ago. I broke down during Final Duet and spent an hour just sobbing alone in my bedroom after the credits rolled. I have a younger brother who I care so much about, and the thought of anything happening to him or him ever having to go through something like this wrecked me. This game is raw and unapologetic tragedy that both broke me down and healed me. By far the most profound video game I've ever had the pleasure of playing, and the only piece of media that has ever made me cry this much. Not ashamed to say I cried again watching this video. Thank you for giving this game a chance, Nino. I hope it serves as a reminder to you and everybody else the importance of forgiveness and friendship.
I cried reading this comment lol I love my siblings
Same, i have a younger sibling too and it just made me break down even at the thought of it
Don’t go near stairs
This is actually only just a bit of the game, there’s WAY MORE. WTF values that change dialogue every time you replay the game, staying inside and going back to bed when Kel knocks starts a new route and unlocks the Neutral Endinf, there’s a whole ass other area in Headspace that you don’t need to go to at all but it’s funny so who cares, etc.
I agree GSD boxer has an AMAZING 100% play thru of Omori I watched
@@jczbas I’m begging and praying that funni streamer luck will give Nino the WTF 13 value dialogue for Humphrey in that one room (someone in chat’s probably gonna have to point it out tho, otherwise Nino may not interact with that Humphrey again). If you know you know.
If you go to sleep or home after the truth you also get the neutral endings.
And the sunny version of the "knife ending" is... A bit more tragic IMHO.
IKR!! theres stuff even i havent discovered yet and im a HUGEEE fan!!
@@ranting2damax ah yes, the funni air conditioner dialogue that single-handedly made the game a 18+ game instead of a 15+ game
33:35
Holy shit you can actually die in the real world early. Thats amazing fanfiction material right there
Sunny fuckin dies from slapping himself in the face
@@Fossilizedsapwithbugsinit1087 I was thinking of something more along the lines of - death via allergic reaction. Since it's the Wasp that killed him
@@godlyhax4172 now that I think about it, death via allergic reaction makes more sense
After all of that trauma and all of that hardship, Sunny finds a bee and fucking dies.
@@Fossilizedsapwithbugsinit1087
This was an amazing way to re-experience the game, and the humor balanced the game well. Good enjoyable editing and a good runtime, I don’t watch playthroughs often and comment on them even less, I’m more of a video essay guy myself, but this was definitely a banger.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I went into this video completely blind right after getting the news that one of my grandparents passed away, just thinking "oh it's one of the creators I like this'll help"--
I wept. I wept like a small child. I tried so hard to hold it together. Absolutely cathartic, I'm glad I took a break in the middle, amazing story, I kinda want to go hug my little sister now. As always, looking forward to the next one.
If you didn't catch it, the part where Granny Basil is out in the middle of the road and fades away is because she died in the hospital. That's what caused him to start breaking down more than he already was, because he was basically raised by her.
SPOILER WARNING
The intro is so great, when I first joined the OMORI fandom I had the impression that it was cute and Mari did it herself and not Sunny and Basil. Then I saw the truth. I couldn’t bring myself to hate Sunny and Basil even though they killed Mari, a comfort character of mine. I don’t think anyone can bring themself to hate Sunny and Basil. They are kid, they were 12 that night. It was one of the worst emotional outbursts for Sunny and Mari just so happened to accidentally cause it, Basil turned out to see it and in a moment of seeing someone who he loves (a young pure love that Basil wasn’t aware of) kill someone who was an older sibling figure of his and he didn’t want Sunny to be harmed. So how could you blame either of them? Sunny may have some resentment for Basil for what happened on the day of the recital but Sunny deep down knows that Basil meant to harm and he wanted to protect Sunny, because he loves Sunny. The guilt eats away at the two. Their SOMETHINGs resemble Mari’s body, Headspace resembles Mari. Mari loves (platonic sibling love) Basil, Mari loves Sunny. I personally believe in ghosts and like to imagine that Mari was there with Sunny, playing along with his fantasy to help her sibling, then she had to stop before Sunny went to far so he could move on, because she doesn’t want that for Sunny. I’m a younger sibling and I would like to say that Sunny wasn’t old enough for him to get to know Mari and he was too young for Mari to get to know him, but they still loved each other. In all honesty even if my sibling dies and it isn’t my fault I’d be so fucking sad because I want to get to know them.
Edit: why would Basil give Sunny the photo album before he knew Sunny would move? Why did Basil go to the lake without telling anyone even though he can’t swim, he didn’t know Aubrey’s group of new friend were there, so why would he go? The answer is heavily implied but with how a few endings play out it’s more obvious.
BRO... SPOILERS... IM LIKE THREE HOURS FROM FINISHING 😥 I

Based viewer
I will never get tired of watching people play this amazing game. I was one of the people who knew the story before playing the game myself. I finished the game last month. I always cry when listening to The Duet. Like absolutely SOBBING. And I cry whenever the kids are being friends. This story is not just about Mari and Sunny, its about friends drifting away and growing up. It reminds me of how simple life was as a kid.
This game genuinely upset me once I finished it and every time I saw something related to this game for over a year after it made my skin crawl. It wasn't until I was finally able to watch a video essay that I realized why I was so deeply bothered by Omori... It's cause I relate too much to Sunny.
I struggle with Maladaptive Daydreaming. I don't know if this was Omocat's intention, I think this game depicts it fairly well. The self-isolation it can cause, the reliance on imaginary scenarios, and even how almost desperate the daydreams become to keep you daydreaming as you get closer to reality. My reasons for daydreaming are not at all like Sunny's, but I still see a lot of myself in this character in a way I rarely see in any other media. This game is absolutely one of my favorite pieces of media ever.
This will always be my favorite game. I haven't had decent mental health until the beginning of this school year and at the end of 8th grade I nearly pulled a Mari. At the beginning of 10th grade, I decided to check out Omori too see why my friends loved it so much, and it literally improved my mental health. It made me realize how devastated my friends would be if I was gone, especially since the characters in omori had quite a bit of parallels with my own friend group. Thanks for making this vid, it's nice to see one of my favorite youtubers play a game that means so much to me.
The thought of him seeing the other ending would have scared me for life! I only looked into this game a few days ago and what made it worse is the person I watched played it played it because it was his daughter’s favorite game. She unal¡ved herself four months before he played it.
dude i watched that guys video too!!! it was so emotional i cried so much during that video
That video destroyed me... I'm glad that this game can be meaningful in that father's healing, though....
Damn, that one got around I guess. I couldn't bring myself to get more than a minute or two into it - it felt like it was going to be really personal.
But it's also what made me finally pick up the game. I'm really glad I randomly clicked on it.
What's the user?
@@wameluuu_9460 If you look up "playing omori after losing my daughter" you'll see the vid
1:37:37 two things.
1, he is so strong to the point where he lacks a neck-
2, if the camera moved any bit down or Pluto moved up there would be… CONSEQUENCES…
There is a reason he is named Pluto.......
I lasted the entirety of the 3 hours not shedding a tear. and then the last 5 minutes when Sunny smiled at Basil, and Basil smiled back. And I lost the fight.
Holy shit what a good game
2:34:55 "SUNNY took 143 damage"... 143 = I love you... I love you Sunny... Whoa
Gets your snacks and tissues kid. Nino uploaded and we’re all going to sob.
Seriously though. This game. Is beautiful and fucked me up in so many ways. For anyone who wants to play this, even after watching this, please do. It’s fuckin legendary writing, art, beautiful in every aspect depicting the inner corners of depression and anxiety
That "Kel, I think I just saw my sister go to heaven" right after the goofy Kel voice made me spit out my soup
@@Lanayrulian Good soup
I started the video and you just talking about how impactful OMORI is made me start tearing up. It's been so long since I played the game, literal years, but it still brings out so many emotions.
Sometimes I wonder/fear if any game will ever hold up next to OMORI. What if OMORI is my ultimate game and I don't find another like it?
I literally google "Games like OMORI" here and there just to fill that void I felt after finishing the game and it still hasn't been filled. Now don't get me wrong, I've played good games since then but nothing that compares to OMORI for me.
Hey, I don't know if you'll actually like it and if it shares the same reasons on why you like omori, but for me personally In Stars And Time made me feel in something of a similar way. It's about a timeloop and watching the main character's health deteriorate as they desperately try to escape it - it's also an rpg like omori! So, if you're looking for game suggestions, maybe look into it. (it is a lot shorter than omori though)
not so fun fact, basil knew how to tie a noose because its the same method of making a flowercrown.
i was incredibly fixated on this game back in early 2021 when i was probably at my absolute lowest mentally. this game really helped. while i wanted to badly to just disappear, omori helped me realize that my friends and family would be devastated, no matter how many times my brain tried to convince me they wouldn't. this game is a treasure. :)
I remember when I fought Humphrey, i remember how disgusting I feel 💀💀
the vore fight 😭
@@lobotomybonerNO WAY 😭😭😭😭
@@RaspberrySham 🧍
Honestly if omori was to exist without any of the comically traumatizing parts (basically if omori is just headspace), the game would still be psycho-horror due to this part alone
Also random fun fact: The game was 18+ specifically because of this part. When you have WTF Value to 13, a random humphrey will change its dialogue to 'I f_cking love air conditioning'. The swearing on that one luck-based one-liner is what made omori 18+
It's been years, and final duet still manages to make me cry everytime. I love that you got to experience this game. It's such an amazing experience and everytime one of my favorite TH-camrs chooses to play it makes me so happy. Thank you, I love you. And before you say it back, look in the mirror and say it to yourself.
The way they keep forgetting (and then remembering and needing to remind/convince their friends) that they need to find Basil is EXACTLY how some of my more wild/nightmarish dreams go. Idk if thats what they were going for but amazing how they captured that feeling!
I made like 5 videos with the omori editing theme, and then I finally played it. It was crazy, maybe I’ll make a video about it
i’ve never seen anything in this game before i’m so excited
Good luck.
@@Marilynn_1275 WHAT DO YOU MEAN GOOD LUCK
Please update us, how do you feel and how many times have you cried?
I require an update please
@@YourMom69456i haven’t gotten a chance to finish the video because i’m at work 💔💔 i’ll update as soon as i finish it though but i’m scared based on how many people are saying “good luck” 😅
I may be at 2:01:07 but fuck the waterworks are starting- curse Stranger’s dialogue and how lots of dialogue I would love to voice (example Basils words in the fight between him and Sunny and all of Stranger’s dialogue), LIKE WHY, WHY IS OMORI SO TRAGICALLY BEAUTIFUL?
Man that fight is still the most emotional to me, knowing the 'somethings' are just metaphorical that the fight is literally sunny trying to get the garden shears basil intended to use on himself out of his hand until it escalates, its just two mentally traumatized kids having panic attacks and beating the hell out of each other, messed up
32:56 lol i was listening to this as i was getting ready to leave my house and when i looked at the screen i got jumpscared by my own username-
When it comes to RPG Makers, I really like and recommend The Strange Men Series, is a collection of four very cool games that together form one single story.
Its been around 3 years since i first met Omori, and I've always seen it 10 minute digestible.
I knew all the easter eggs, the truth and everything, but seeing it now makes it so much better.
I really cried, and I genuinely don't remember crying since I was a little kid.
I'll stick with this game forever and nothing can stop me ❤
this game broke me in so many ways even after playing it many times it really does have a special place in my heart and im glad you enjoyed it :D
this game really makes a person go through every emotion- even tho this is like the best game ive ever seen
The fact that so many people unquestioningly open the door for Kel makes me want to believe in humanity
Probably something like the 23rd playthrough of Omori I've watched (and the 24th I've bawled my eyes out to), and this was easily my favorite, props to you and your editor. I'm officially a fan :)
Yep. There's just so much reaction value in this game, you just wanna keep seeing other people's emotions throughout this masterpiece
SOMETHING ❓❓❓❓❓🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
This game deserves all the praise it gets. Despite getting delayed for so long... It was worth it.
I’m going comment this before I get in, and I might leave a comment after I finish watching this as well. The game Omori my favorite game to ever exist, it has been my favorite game for more than a year now. The character Basil is also my favorite character to ever exist in any type of media. I’m excited to watch this because this is my favorite game and the person who is playing it is just amazing. I’m so excited!
I’m replying to myself because I finally finished watching! (I watched 90% of it the day I made the other comment but then got busy lol)
(Btw I will be spoiling)
I’m crying, this made me so happy. Basil being Nino’s favorite actually made my week because Basil is my favorite too! By a long shot as well. I’m also so so happy he got the secret ending, I was hoping he would as I know he would appreciate seeing Basil’s something go away (well I did at least).
This reaction has to be my favorite I ever watched, probably because the person play loved Basil as much as I do :)
you know a game's good when it illicits A visceral reaction from a single photo
Bro I know im watching this 2 months late but this is easily and by far the best playthrough video. It provides some funny moments and lets you understand the story whilst cutting it down to a movie long video. I wish there was a 12 episode season of this game because this story of different children coping with a traumatic event is so beautiful. Thanks to you and your editor/s for making the closest thing to that :)
Btw, if you clicked no to continue after losing to omori you wouldve had the bad ending where you don't confront your friends and jump off the hospital as you accept what happened but also accept omori's view on it as unforgivable
HELL YES, I'M SO EXCITED BRUV
not so fun fact: if you lose Hangman, the last one makes it obvious that it's MARI hanging on a rope. and SOMETHING jump-scares you and crashes the game. 100% real trust me.
This game didn't proyect depression on me
It gave me grief. I now miss Mari while I dream about how it would be to have a big sister like that. I feel empty because this game showed me the value and impact of things we hold dear
19:27 "is he gonna kill Sweetheart!?"
Me: you'll wish he had....
I think the ending was sunny repenting by living with the guilt, facing the consequences of what he did rather than succumbing to it which is considered the "easier" way out
God, that was heartwrenching
So many people think Hero would lose his shit upon knowing what actually happened, but what I think would happen is that he'd be so shocked by the revelation that he'd just freeze in place as if a spider appeared, and then one of the other two would act first, likely Aubrey, and likely her apologizing for the second time for bullying Basil when he did nothing wrong... well, aside from the fact that he's the one who thought of hiding the truth. That's only *my* headcanon, though.
The actual ending is, I think, showing quite accurately how much relief Sunny and Basil got upon letting the truth go out of their headspaces, by showing SOMETHING fade away. Their trauma and guilt is likely not completely gone, but the truth is, and SOMETHING is the truth, it's literally Mari's hair and eyes the last time they saw her.
I’M SO EXCITED TIGHT NOW YIPPEE YIPPEE!!!! I love this game so much 😭 (I’m an hour and a half into the video)
Something I didn't realize until like a week after finishing the game, when the game was still stuck in my head and I was just constantly thinking about it, was that Sunny's parents know that Sunny and Basil faked Mari's suicide. Think about it, there is no way a death like this wouldn't be investigated, and it would be fairly easy for authorities to see that it wasn't the suicide that killed Mari. The parents would be told, so they would know it wasn't suicide and that Sunny tried to cover up accidentally killing Mari, and the difference in Sunny's parents' reactions to that fact likely led to their separation. There is a scene with the shadow of a man cutting down a tree where he says "you are not my son", which is likely Sunny's actual dad cutting down the tree they hung Mari up in, and the shadows response is likely Sunny's Dad's actual response to the truth. Sunny's Mom's reaction is shown in one scene with her on the couch in their living room where she says she can't lose Sunny too.
This leads me to think their mother wanted to hide the truth from their friends and community to protect Sunny, while their father couldn't stand the idea of people thinking Mari's death was a suicide. The authorities obviously didn't press charges since it was an accident and Sunny is a kid, so they likely left it up to the family for how they wanted to handle the truth. Their father couldn't stand lying about Mari to everyone around them, yet realized that revealing the truth would only hurt Sunny, so he likely left to avoid both. Their mother kept up the lie to protect Sunny, but over time she likely realized the burden the lie was having on both her and Sunny and everyone's memory of Mari, so she probably started looking to move so they could avoid it themselves and start anew.
oh that's so devastating
that makes the game so much darker
Cried my eyes out during this, from beauty and from pain, thank you for taking us with you on this journey
This game truly changed me for the better. Made me realise stuff about myself I never knew, I truly saw I was mentally unwell for the 1st time, hell it's even questioning my sexuality. It truly changed my ways with every single possibility. I love this game with a passion, and every single detail of it.
Basic summary of how Mari died and the incident for people who don’t get it: Mari and Sunny were getting ready for thier first recital together and Sunny was nervous. He never liked violin but only wanted to play it to play with Mari. Mari wanted everything to be perfect so that put a lot of pressure on Sunny, so he threw his violin down the stairs, breaking it which made Mari get mad at Sunny. In a fit of rage from Mari getting angry at him, Sunny pushed Mari down the stairs to his broken violin. With being pushed down the stairs and landing a broken violin, Mari died but Sunny didn’t realize it and thought she was asleep. Meanwhile, Basil came to visit Sunny and Mari before the recital and saw everything take place and helped Sunny carry Mari to the bedroom. When she didn’t wake up, Sunny didn’t know what to do so Basil told him they should hang Mari in the tree so that Sunny wouldn’t get in trouble. That’s the reason Basil said “Please forgive me” and why Sunny feels so guilty cause he killed Mari and even faked that she killed herself. But the parents weren’t as dumb as everyone else and knew what Sunny and Basil did, that’s why Sunny’s dad disliked him and his mom wanted to move to forget everything.
Edit that I forgot to add: Basil also believes that Sunny was innocent in killing Mari and that “Something” made Sunny do it, that’s why he keeps seeing it.
I can not wait to slowly make my way through this game as watch your reactions, gonna be awhile as just the prologue took me 8 hours but ill keep coming back
Had to wait 2 weeks to watch the full video 🩷 no matter how many times I watch playthrough of Omari I always get emotional but I can’t help but watch, its beautifully made and so worth the raw emotion I feel and the love I feel for each character 🩷 Ty Nino for the reminder of this game
I've been meaning to play this game forever now and I finally did by watching you play it, this game is beautiful and now I'm crying. Thank you for making this :)
coming back and watching this after my friend tried to pull a Mari is gonna be such a fun experience when I get to the end of this /sarcasm. Currently at 10:44 and when I see aforementioned friend at school tomorrow I will be giving it a dam hug, same with my other friend whos struggled with all of this, all three of us have struggled with this before
I literally woke up at 1am randomly and was looking for a video to sleep in.. its now 4am and i cried during the end even though i played OMORI like 5 times.. Thanks for the video and the good cry😭
Video games are an art form
I HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO YET BUT OH NY GOSH I ABSOLUTELY LOVE OMORIIIII AAAAAAAAAAAAA
0:01 Pathologic 2... Its a nightmare... I suffer... every minute was painful... but... for somewho... i wanted... more
4:54
"Why is Omori a different color scheme?"
RACISM👹👹👹👹😈😈😈👹👹😈👹😈
2:29:43 i haven't realised that sunny's backing off here until you put light on it. That could be foredhadowing to the fact that basil did do something way worse than Aubrey, as he took part in setting up the scene
actually i think that's because sunny realized that the reason aubrey was bullying basil is over something that sunny did (but basil took the blame for)
2:34:55 i havent finished the video so im not sure if this is mentioned or not. but the number 143 means "i love you" and it can be seen in some omori easter eggs i think.
this got me into am omori hyperfixation, you are a god and I hope your ego forever thrives
holy shit... its been a while since i played omori and i watched a lot of gameplays since then, and i can confidently say that yours was one of my favorites. im bawling again
This was so emotional and so beautiful I love this game so much but...
Nino gotta play the other route/endings, he's not traumatized enough from this game
gimme a few months I gotta recover from this ending first
somehow this emotional rollercoaster of a game became one of my comforts so here i am rewatching this again
this video couldnt of come out at a better time! I just got the true/secret ending yesterday on my first play thru so i'm finally open to watching play throughs but watching a like- 15 part series is hard for me so this is perfect!! this game almost made me cry so many times its crazy I'm someone who like- never cries at games
Im gonna be honest, ive watched this vid 3 times now and ive balled my eyes out every single time. The first time i watched this video was a day after my cat died. Not only did this video help me process my emotions but its helped me to confront my problems and ive been working up the courage to reach out to my mum. Thank you, nino and avaah(im so sorry i dont know how to spell your name) for making this video and if anyone is going through a tough time rn, you dont have to fight alone❤
This game holds a close place on my heart, it always wreck me watching it, but i just can't stop watching it. i've lost my mom and two brothers already, so when i first played this game i got destroyed and spent a long time crying, but in the end, it became one of my favorite games of all time, i'm glad that people enjoys it.
2:16:09 Aubrey pushed Basil. She didn't mean to, just wanted some space. Sunny pushed Mari. He didn't mean to, just wanted some space.
Over 3 years later, and I still cannot get through the last sequence without bawling. So damn good. I wish I had another journey to go on that was this emotional, but I can only settle for games that don't hit as close to home
Don't know Omori, about to watch this!
Before watching: Is it a horror type of game? It seems cute, but depressing maybe? I still think life sucks.
After watching: This was the best thing ever! I love the horror in it! And the things we do in the White Space!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the game, Omori truly is a masterpiece, and it’s one of the games I truly believe everyone should get to experience once in their life.
I’ve been very slowly working on an OMORI themed expansion to Stardew Valley, it’s slow going, but I hope you get to play it one day!
never really heard much about omori until a little bit ago, but this video has made me cry so much ive fallen in love with it! you did an amazing job nino:)
at the final duet everyone cried like little babys
After finishing it I had to hide this game in my library because I was destroyed and everytime I even saw a picture of it I would spiral into panic. Today I feel brave enough to attempt to watch your video. Here I go!
It was this game and spiritfarer that changed how I view video games and art in general. When Nino says that this is a life changing game, he’s not lying.
I love Omori, it just has a special place in my heart. It was so amazing how they input do much emotion and showed how others feel when there in a dark place.
Im so excited, omori is one of my favorite games ever!
Everything about Omori was new to me. I just saw it in a promo on Steam when it came out and decided to play. Went in completely blind.
It's my favorite game by far. I still feel abundant love and connection to everything in this world. I think what made me like it so much is that I really wanted to take my time. I see some streamers wanting to rush it, finish it quickly or just get to the story bits fast, but I went in wanting to immerse myself in this world and I think that's the reason why I liked it so much. I often felt like Omori, getting distracted by the colorful and pretty world of Headspace, and then being slapped with the reality and trauma slowly creeping in. I wanted more time there, I wanted more time with those characters and that game.
And when I finally got to the heart of the story..... oh boy . I related to Sunny real bad. It's been years and I'm still in love with this game, wishing even more people could experience it. It was a great gameplay to watch 😊
Everything you said at the start, I have the exact same response. OMORI will always be my favourite game. Especially the "erase your memory to experience it all over again" part, because I watched Merg play all of it.
5:02 "OH YEAH IT'S GONNA GO WRONG" -me as soon as i heard that
love this game so much. as odd as it is, it brings me a lot of comfort even in the end. as an older sister to a little brother, i feel like i know intrinsically that mari would do anything for sunny to realize that she wants him to move on and be happy. its what i would do, no matter what
Amazing video, watched it all in one go. Kinda wished you would’ve reloaded the save and tried to follow the headspace friends too for tye bad ending. Don’t forget if you want there’s another route where you don’t open the door to kel and get a full on dream world playthrough. Quite more disturbing and more rpg stuff.
Man you missed SO MANY stuff there! Like Easter eggs or little side quests (which would be as flowers at the end) and you didn't look at the mirror after seeing dead Mari. Also after you seing Mari playing piano and Hero intrurapted you, you could enter that room again and see him crying. You could help Mavrick, Angel. You could visit Mari's grave with Kel only and listen his story time. You could go to secret spot with gang and do picnic too and it otherworldly you could visit to other place (like candy Egypt stuff) and meet cool boss with some funny jokes. There are some other endings like if you choose not to open door for Kel it would have turn up completely other way. Or if you didn't enter to Basil's room and went to bed, or just go to home. Or if succumbed fight with Omori. (This ending has another banger music)
I cant watch it today, but I will as soon as I can!! Cant wait to see your reactions!
After all these years I didn't know you could get a discount if you tagged Hero on the toll, I'm just eager to grind on the cave because I don't like being underleveled
this is truly my favorite game of all time. thanks for taking the time to play through it and share your experience with us :)
your intro to this was one of the things that pushed me to play the game going in blind, thank you for that
This game changed me. As someone who has an older sibling and as someone who is in the process of 'growing up', words really can't express how this game makes me feel. No matter how many times I play it, or watch videos on it, some scenes always make me cry.
00:00 The last game that made me speechless was the original Dark Souls. I barely understood the story at the time, but when the credits song rolled, i KNEW that it was an once in a lifetime experience.
Man id love a game set from basils perspective like after sunny stops going out, seeing someone else dealing with similar but different trauma from the same event with his guilt eating him alive metaphorically, sad stuff, would also be cool to see him and sunny being best friends prior more and just his life in general, dont really get much of that
I completely broke down near the end of the game, but the main thing that really got me was the fact that in the last time you're in headspace you can't water basil's flowers anymore. After every main quest I always went back to basil's garden and watered it for some comfort/extra health (even if it was like nothing). When I couldn't water it anymore I broke down crying and this damn game made my grades drop for weeks
BUT I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IT WAS SO GOOD
Very few stories are willing to do what Omori does. It's very easy to make bad things happen for the sake of making the audience feel bad for the characters, but it takes careful planning and guts to actively make the audience themselves feel bad in a way that's compelling. Omori isn't just a brilliant story, it's a harsh lesson that everyone needs to learn at some point in there lives.
It's very hard to find the balance of making your readers suffer, and making your characters suffer.
If you do to much on the characters, it feels like it's being shoved down the readers throat like: "Hey feel bad!"
I.e. vocalizing a sad story is sad (Korra saying "That's the saddest story I've ever heard") and not letting the readers actually feel it- Like being spoken for.
Omori has great writing!
So glad you liked the game, I absolutely loved it when I first played it, and yeah it just destroys you but in a good way
After playing this game it's easily become one of my favorite games of all time. I've been meaning to watch someone play it for themselves and see how they react to the game, but I haven't been able to find anyone I enjoyed watching play Omori until this playthrough. Lovely video, thank you
This game plays the violin on your heartstrings... The editing in this play-through is phenomenal, by the way. Good job you two.
