Omori attempts to force Sunny to succumb to his guilt and trauma. By the time of the game's events, OMORI behaves autonomously and begins to influence SUNNY instead of the other way around however, his goal is still the same: to protect SUNNY from the truth. He becomes more of a culmination of the repression of trauma and escapism that SUNNY has done over his past four years as a hikikomori. Years of repressing the truth resulted in OMORI becoming the very image of suicidal guilt and depression that SUNNY denies, essentially making him less of an alter ego. As SUNNY's repression grew stronger and HEADSPACE continued to change, OMORI continued to change too, and eventually became something more than what his creator originally intended. Omori and his friends having a picnic together in Headspace.Įventually, BLACK SPACE encroaches on HEADSPACE, and repressing the resurfacing memories requires HEADSPACE to be reset - which has been done several times over, only serving as a stopgap measure. To this end, SUNNY's OMORI is routinely inside WHITE SPACE, as SUNNY has been a shut-in since MARI's death and all of the interactions we seen within HEADSPACE come with a sense of great familiarity from the characters that reside within. WHITE SPACE serves as an escape from the truth behind MARI's untimely demise. Inside WHITE SPACE, OMORI can freely visit an imaginary world where his friends reside along with comical representations of acquaintances and familiar fictional mascots. OMORI's existence started as a sort of 'shell' for SUNNY to protect himself from the horrors of the truth, which took the form of SOMETHING and BLACK SPACE. WHITE SPACE is born out of SUNNY's cognition whenever he sleeps, so its contents are subjective from his memories and perceptions. Sunny's first encounter with Omori in White Space.Īt some point following MARI's death, SUNNY began visiting WHITE SPACE through a black-and-white doppelgänger called OMORI. Dislikes: HEIGHTS, SPIDERS, DEEP WATER, CHERRY SODA, TOFU.Likes: AUBREY, KEL, HERO, MARI, BASIL, GRAPE SODA.However, it can be speculated that this is moreso reflective of SUNNY's emotional state, as OMORI is a character built from SUNNY'S conscience in WHITE SPACE and HEADSPACE.Īccording to the official walkthrough and strategy guide, info regarding OMORI consists of:

His abilities are also reflective of this gloominess, being either violent in nature or simply gaining the SAD emotion, or having an advantage while SAD. However, it is implied that he is quite melancholic, as his narration sometimes has gloomy inputs, the overall tone left by the summary, and his final battle dialogue is directly talking down to SUNNY. Not much can be said about OMORI's personality, as he is a silent protagonist. His overall design stems from SUNNY's twelve-year-old appearance. He is the only character to be colored black and white in contrast with the colorful residents of HEADSPACE, and he is also the only character to have blank eyes with no pupils.

OMORI is a young boy who wears a black tank top, long black socks, and black and white striped shorts.
