Therapist Plays the Bad and Neutral Endings to Omori

These are the bad/neutral endings, which means there are a lot of content warnings here.
I already finished the good ending on my initial playthrough.
Things are blurred, but content itself wasn't removed, (besides regular editing stuff). The video is censored mostly because:
I've had a video taken down before from KZbin, with conflicting communication about why, which gives me trust issues about what actually violates their community guidelines, regardless of what other content creators have online. This makes me lean on the side of better safe than sorry, so I can make sure the video stays out there.
Not only that, but if the blurred version helps it be more inclusive and accessible for even just one person, who otherwise wouldn't be able to watch it because of where they're at mentally, I'm okay with blurring.
Also, no matter what's happened in your day, you matter.

When you interact with Basil's door again in the first ending after you saw what happened, the door will fade away (in Sunny's imagination) with a dialogue popping up which says "There is nothing here" or something like that, similar to the one room in Sunny's house which entrance we couldn't see for a major part of the game as well.

in the neutral endings you never actually learn the truth so you just keep it nice and repressed while something haunts you for the rest of your life, or you subconsciously stab yourself in your sleep. In the bad ending sunny learns the truth but fails to overcome his guilt (omori) and thus his guilt takes over and does what it has screamed about deserving for the past 4 years.

[@sleepingegg1719]

Actually, in the neutral endings (excluding the hikki route), he does learn the truth, since you learn it before you wake up in Basil's house. But with the Omori fight happening after the Basil fight, he never actually has a chance to confront and process his emotions and resorts to what he always has - more repression

[@LazoGT]

hikikomori spoilers: you know about the truth in the neutral sunny route, but in the hikikomori route you still dont know even when you die. its why i really love the route because omori completely controls you and everything you do, and even in the end, you still dont know what even happened to anything or anyone (though its hinted, and if you go to black space 2 you'll eventually get it, especially red space)

Your reaction to the bad ending was amazing lol The artist, Bo En, who made the song used in the bad ending (it was released in 2013), played Omori live on youtube, and talked a bit about how Omocat approached him years ago about wanting to use the song in this game, and he had no idea for what it was going to be used.

Before going to see Basil, you can go to the bathroom and interact with the toilet. Sunny will threw up.

[@crisgriffin3042]

And door of Basil's room will disappear after you seen him, like a closet door("there is nothing here").

[@Dhalin]

He does that even if you don't go back to sleep (IE, the true good ending). Most people don't think to check it.

To me, I think the neutral ending where Sunny sees Basil's corpse should be called the worst ending. Basil couldn't handle it alone, and Sunny decided to not save Basil but go back to sleep, and now Basil killed himself, Sunny goes back to his house, can't handle it and also kills himself. That's really heavy.

[@mirulei]

@@hoospy they mean because it's referred to as the "neutral end" by the game not the "bad end" which is the other one.

[@maddyg123_]

It makes it sadder knowing that the truth probably never came out for any of these endings. Personally, I don’t think Basil would ever share the truth (bad end) sense he doesn’t seem to believe it himself. And nobody would be there to share it for either of the neutral endings(my interpretation is that’s Sunny shuts himself in again, worse even, after moving)

[@keld4144]

Same. It's most likely that basil died by suecide as well in the bad ending because sunny leaving the town was the reason he did it in the neutral routes

[@spaghettikat1964]

Yeah I think there's a possibility in the bad ending, just because everyone would probably be asking why him and sunny fought. And once they find out about sunny he might be like "Something killed sunny just like it killed mari!" But again that's just one possibility. It's also possible that basil shuts in or that he hurts himself :(

[@citra1885]

Even if Basil try to, does his friend will ever accepted that? Like- "Sunny already dead. And you only tell us now!?" That's how I think- their reaction will be... The fact that it was Basil's idea (i guess) that they just frame the accident as suicide, and then by his "selfishness" (by what i theoriezed what Basil really feel) to make Sunny stay and don't want to loose him, is what make him actually leave forever. Idk- I personally can't even imagine how tough it would be for Basil, heck he didn't even knows Sunny REALLY push Mari and he only knows that was the doing of *something* behind him. The only scenario that played in my head is either "Basil leaving a note for the other three after commit a suicide, tell everything about those bitter lies of him and Sunny" or-- "him wordlessly ending his life, leaving his friend not knowing what actually happened and keep the truth unravel forever."

[@noobdev6629]

Basil probably killed himself after bad ending

I think the bad ending music is supposed to be happy yet depressing. It brings out a weird mix of comedic hysteria and not wanting it to happen in people. Im not a psychologist, that’s my sister, but Sunny’s mindset at the fall is calm, then panicked chaotic, then calm again as he reaches the end. Reaches his “peace”. If we can actually even call him sunny anymore, sunny was erased. This self destructive behavior is all that was left of him. Its horrible to think like this, but to the hopeless, an ending is a ray of hope.

22:30 this screen probably indicates what you can call a "hard reset" in headspace. The one of many that was coral tree in Deeper Well talked about, when they say that these cycles of stumbling upon "the truth" is happened a lot already.

[@Dhalin]

Fun fact: That long quiet tone @ 22:46 is only heard 3 places in the entire game: the very beginning of the game, here, and.... you might have guessed it, right after you grab Basil out of Black Space in the Hikikomori Route. It's the "Headspace Reset" sound. Now, this particular one that you see here is only a partial reset.. the lightbulb is still missing, and your friends don't talk to you. I think Omori only reset it enough so that he could stand to get Sunny up to the Hospital Roof to end it all. That, or Omori wanted to reset the whole thing, but he couldn't... Sunny had already revealed the truth and it was too late to sweep it all under the rug so Omori gives up and decides to just end everything permanently.

[@hdckighfkvhvgmk]

Unfortunately, OMORI cannot truly reset headspace, as the black lightbulb repressing black space/the truth is gone and HS bagel's soul is required for the reset (as we see in the real neighbor's room in the hikikomori route) and he's long since dead.

[@vincere4591]

21:10 People say that Omori was created to help Sunny cope with Maris death by repressing everything involved her. Everyone (not the Omori community) always says that when you repress your emotions, eventually they’ll all come flying out like a shaken can of soda and you won’t be able to control them. I think the same thing happened with Omori. I think Sunny felt that way for the many years that Mari’s been dead. That’s probably why when he stopped repressing it and actually faced what he was hiding from for all that time, it came out so harshly.

[@-e_rin-8555]

OMORI had a secret kel ending that required the hikikomori route, but sadly the glitch was patched. (for context, KEL joined you in moving away in other ending 2 instead of SOMETHING.) edit - forgot to mention that KEL left HERO behind in this ending hahah

[@ziqqyziqqy]

it’s really clever how the game uses the analogy of having no option to not jump from the roof to illustrate how that sometimes is how people struggling feel. same thing with cutting open mewo, we’re either given the option to continue to do it or either stab omori; how it illustrates that some people would either proceed with something that makes them uncomfortable or just choose not to via cutting themselves from the situation.

[@stranger_shadow]

the transition from "im confused, does he just wanna live in his dreamworld forever?" to "oh... oh no...."

[@Dhalin]

You should have checked the door again after seeing what happens to Basil. You'll hear the tinnitus sound, and Sunny flat out erases the door from his perception and says "There is nothing here."

[@pikaloco285]

SPOILERS: Now that I think about it, Mari's death was by falling down the stairs and Sunny's death was falling off a building in the bad ending. A little ironic both their deaths involve falling.

[@floofdoodle4349]

The music playing in the falling down ending is "my time" by bo en it's a music which has a very catchy music but if u hear the lyrics it's very morbid perfectly capturing the conflict of Sunny's fake sense of excitement and morbid reality of situation for Sunny falling down the building, for him is like he can live in his dream world where he and his friends can be happy forever but in reality (for us the players), he is ending his life because he couldn't face his trauma fully

Also, there is something you should look up, probably not really something you want to do yourself, as it would take quite a number of hours, but you should look up the ending of the Hikikomori Route and/or some of the stuff unique to it. The Hikikomori Route is basically the same thing as the normal route, only you never step outside the house (you do chores during the days) and all the Headspace segments are Almost the same until the end of Blackspace. That scene is entirely different, and it ends differently and then you can continue Headspace after that for some extra areas, optional content, etc. Might be worth looking up how that goes down. There are some youtubers who did good videos showcasing that.

[@indigoblunter]

I second this notion. It would take a while to redo the whole game, but I'm curious to see your reaction. Also something to note: it's called OMORI because Sunny is a HikikOMORI, which is literally a term for someone who doesn't leave their house.

[@L0V3V4MP1R3]

If I recall correctly, she did say she'd play the Omori route, although I'm not sure if she'd record her gameplay

@@L0V3V4MP1R3 It'd be cool if she played the Hiko Route up until the end of Blackspace and then just started recording from there, because 99% of all of it is about the same 'cept for the mundane chores. At least up until the Red Door. And Honestly I think she should do a little research this time on how to find all the secrets, since she doesn't have to worry about spoilers as she knows the whole story now.

[@sarrynight]

It'd be awesome if she could record at least a small video for the Hikkikomori exclusive events/areas. The snow area made me cry, personally and it's my favorite place in the game. Edit: But I completely understand that it's a ton of editing so no big deal ^^

[@Dhalin]

@@sarrynight Well, IIRC, all of the Unique Hikikomori areas happen after Blackspace, so all she'd have to do is play off-camera, don't touch anything that wasn't available in the Sunny route, and then start recording right as she's about to open the Red Door and just go from there. Once you go through the Red Door in the Hiko route, you can re-enter Headspace and do Everything you want to do then. The game even gives you a big giant "This will end the game" when you examine the bed where you get the option to sleep until morning or return to Headspace.

[@SecondAlias]

Watching your reactions and seeing your pain with the actions that Omori and Basil take make me realize how desensitized I am to these ideas. The moment that makes me cry the most in this series is the duet at the end, seeing Sunny find redemption for himself, but I never hesitated when it came to making painful choices. I wish I felt more hesitation when it came to all the times you had to leave white space without a door, or when the cat was on the cutting table, it was my first thought.

[@Ace_Maus]

As someone who attempted several times, the bad ending and its song really communicate the anxiety/distress very well. My therapist told me that my thoughts during panic attacks are essentially self-mourning; all the stages of grief rushing through me like a shock. The changes in the background and the song itself kind of give off the vibe of those changes in perception/feelings Omori might me going through as he falls. Climbing fear keeping him in reality at the beginning, esperate denial when he tries to retreat back to his dream world delusions, and then the quiet acceptance and even relief of going with Mari. It is gruesome, but it makes sense if you stop and think about it from his point of view. Doesn't make it any less painful for the player, of course, nor does it justify his actions, but many people often still indirectly cling to the shame associated with these sorts of actions by saying it's romantization or stuff like that. No one is ever happy with the portrayal of such sensitivr and heavy topics, but they have to remember that the "rationalizing" behind those who think or act upon this is not entirely as rational anymore. It's people who lose all hope, and someone who hasn't experienced that just can't understand it completely. We cannot intellectually rationalize all involving perception and emotions; if that were the case, psychology would have discovered and solved everything about our psyche, but that's just not how humans work. Wanting content like this to disappear often comes with people vocalizing thoughts that lean more on victim-blaming than trying to avoid romantization, which *does* happen (i.e. 13 Reasons Why), but we can't chalk off all attempts at representing this as romantization just to go back to censoring the topic as a whole once more.

The tone change in the bad ending is one of my favorite things about this game because it's just so gut-wrenching to think about. I mean, Omori spent the entire fight telling Sunny he would be better off dead, and Sunny gave up on trying to stop that. In the end, Sunny's death is, in his eyes, freedom from the nightmare that has been his isolated life over the past 4 years, he's flying off to the only escape he can find anymore. The lyrics only amplify this, the "close your eyes, you'll be here soon" is probably in reference to Sunny being with Mari after his death, "Close your eyes and you'll leave this dream" is Sunny finally leaving headspace, not by facing his past, but giving into it and letting himself die for it. Also, the constant saying of the word Oyasumi, Japanese for "good night" is also clearly meant to signify Sunny's death, as he's never going to wake up again. There's so much more packed into the song in the bad ending, and honestly it's such a sense of emotional whiplash that the game constantly throws at you that that I can't help but hate loving it. It's like how the game makes you love headspace's in-depth and fun battles, even though none of it is real and it's all Sunny's escapism just being amplified. Same goes for here, the cheery music is trying to make you happy about... throwing yourself off of a building...

[@redbeltwolf7469]

“Oyasumi oyasumi, close your eyes and you’ll leave this dream...” Sunny chose to eternally close his eyes and dream. It’s a really awesome song that I listen to a lot, but looking at the lyrics and just having that with the context without the craziness, it becomes very dark...

[@HimariHimatsu]

In the neutral ending, hero saying "go on ahead" hurts so much more, after first losing mari and now basil he doesn't want sunny to be put through this sadness anymore, but saying that he should go back home by himself completely contradicts what he says in the good ending during the omori fight with "last time we weren't there for eachother when we needed it the most, we won't make the same mistake again" (or something like that)

[@NiennaFan1]

Oh no you're right

25:25 to think that's probably how many people think before doing it. it's like you come to a point where you have a choice, but only one and the worst one '-' to think that the only sense of control they have on their own lifes is the choise of when to end it and nothing else ...

[@_TimelessX]

I recently just learned that My Time by Bo En is about how he feels better when hes not awake, which is probably how sunny feels in that end

[@quanceiousspinkleyton325]

Bo en said its just about sleep.

[@Anaea]

@@quanceiousspinkleyton325 didnt he say it was about insomnia?

[@catsinwonderland7473]

@@Anaeait very likely is, the Japanese lyric before the chorus roughly translates to "a word you can never say is [chorus] O-ya-su-mi" which I believe would be more indicative of insomnia than simply just sleep (im not Japanese though so I don't know for sure)

[@Marx-XIII]

The song that plays during the credits of the bad ending, My Time. For me whenever I listen to it, there's always this underlying tension and sense of mania beneath the cheeriness of the tune. I usually describe it as what a forced smile would sound like, the kind you wear when you're living in complete denial, and all you want is just for everything to be okay.

Omori is a psychological game yet it is so good. When I saw the good ending, I cried because it was so sad looking back at all the things Sunny and Basil had to suffer through

I remember as a kid, I had all this support & was ready to face my trauma... I thought. Then when faced with it, no matter how many people told me I was strong & could do it. I gave up. Attempted some not so good stuff. I relapsed. But now I have faced it, & it took so much out of me but I didn't give up. Finally able to breath. It was strange & uncomfortable at first but in the end my heart doesn't feel so empty.

[@NiennaFan1]

[@dongerard999]

I think when he falls in that one ending and there’s the moment of black space, he probably went through the entire loop again going back to white space again which is why the music drowns out Omori took over to end the loop for both of them whereas in the good ending sunny takes over to end the loop for both of them by finally confrontung

[@elbr3376]

I kinda like how the Sunny refuses to walk back through no matter how much you try. The alternative to jumping is something(in this ending) so impossible and terrifying that it might as well be impossible.

[@Dennyspuncakes]

The song played in the end was by Bo En, and was actually used in the first trailer for the game in like 2014. His music is super interesting and unique. Listen to his album Pale Machine where this song is from if you have the time. It's an experience

[@zacs44]

Well a couple of things small details and such for the endings, first off I love your content and your reactions along with your analysis Detail #1 In the bad ending where you give up, Sunny drops his violin faster than Omori dropped his knife in the good ending. Could just be symbolism of how quickly or how close sunny was to giving up where as soon as he was defeated, he lost all hope and gave up quicker than Omori, the guilt suppressant and protection device for Sunny. Detail #2 The word Oyasumi in the song of the bad end credits "My Time" is japanese for goodnight, as well as the song in general talking about going to sleep. This song in a way is in direct contrast of the song in the good end credits "Good Morning". In the bed ending you pretty much return to the dream world and eventually death, a form of eternal sleep whereas in the good ending you leave the dream world and wake up to a new morning and a new beginning. Detail #3 Title Screen before you complete any of the endings you have a title screen of Omori and Sunny swapping back and forth in headspace, almost a battle for control situation. In the good ending it ends up being Sunny and only Sunny whereas in the neutral ending it is Omori. Simple enough detail but I just found it kinda interesting. And just some thoughts about the endings that make me sadder. In the neutral ending with the knife, we hear Kel saying why does this stuff keep happening to them. This is pretty much the only time in the game that we ever see a really sad Kel and its even worse realizing that right after Basil died, Kel's best friend would die the same night. This is even worse because they blame themselves for Mari and now Basil and even later they will blame themselves for Sunny.

[@Riverbed_Dreaming]

The bad ending: 😡 The neutral endings: 💪👹🤜

[@rainbowbloom575]

Basil's something you talked about isnt basils something, its sunnys something. Basils something is what he sees behind sunny (the thing that pushed mari, the one who blacked out basils pics, the one who makes sunny want to leave basil when you confront him and the one who basils attacking during the fight). Something i think might confirm this is that basil says something "do you see it? its all around us" when we/sunny only sees something surrounding basil, not sunny and basil

[@rainbowbloom575]

Plus, why sunny sees something surrounding basil might be because he was there when mari died, thus making him really important/attached to sunnys trauma

[@djailsonfelipe84]

This is a good interpretation and all but I think Basil's Something is based in the image of Mari at the bottom of the stairs (her hair sprawling like a puddle along the floor) and Sunny's something is based on him looking back at Mari's hanged body, he thought she was directly looking at him in anger. One extra thing about Somethings, the eye is not an eye, rather the black dot in the middle is Mari's eye socket, with her hair parted showing her pale face. Sunny's Something's true form is clearer when we look at HELLMARI.

[@Tsuyumu]

idk if you picked up on it but during the bad ending, the reason you can only choose to jump is because you in that battle against omori decided that you no longer want to continue fighting, that it's no longer worth it to live and continue the fight towards healing and getting better. you chose to give up the fight against omori. you chose to give up the fight against your trauma and most importantly, your life. the only option is to end it all.

As heart wrenching as the route is: I can’t wait till she plays the Hikkokomori route. It chimes into the more mainstream horror type of gameplay, but still does it in classic Omocat fashion. Terrifying

[@crystalcrusader8832]

Personally, the first “neutral ending” you got is, in my opinion, the worst possible ending. The actual “worst ending” be damned, just the silent ringing of the phone fucking haunts me. There’s no hiding from the reality of what happened. The mother is desperately calling for her son’s dead body. It’s a real tragedy. I feel like the “worst” ending kinda romanticizes Sunny’s death too much. It’s just a general problem with suicide in the media where it’s romanized to hell and back to make it more palatable. It’s understandable, but as someone who went through suicidal ideation, suicide has already been romanized enough to me. I don’t think showing suicide as romantic is a good thing for anyone. It’s painful to see the reality of what suicide is, but it’s better then acting like suicide is anything but a tragedy. It needs to be taken more seriously and not watered down to make it more “acceptable” in some twisted way. I hope what I’m saying makes sense.

[@Liz66.]

I understand your side and I can agree to some sort; about the romanized thing... This actually tells something about the society we live today

[@lylyart]

i dont understand how its romanized but ok🤨 although i agree but in the bad ending it just makes it worse how we DONT know what happens after sunny dying by suicide. basically its like in real life, after you die you cant know what happens next ofc. and just imagine how that aubrey,kel and hero will just see sunnys dead body on the ground…

[@leakypeach6250]

Question: what about the bad ending romanticizes Sunny's suicide? The tone of the music? If so, I agree somewhat. The content of the song is apt as it refers to escapism through sleep (which is typically used as a metaphor for death in literature). Though, the tone, to anyone who's unaware of that, will seem to betray the tragedy of what's happening.

[@spaghettikat1964]

Can I ask what about the first neutral ending felt romanticized to you? I'm not arguing at all, I just didn't pick up on it and it's something I'd like to be more aware of. I completely agree that a lot of media does romanticize it and it's a problem

[@crystalcrusader8832]

@@spaghettikat1964 I’m saying the first neutral ending WASN’T romanized, and showed suicide in the most realistic way. The “worst” ending, the one where Sunny jumps of the hospital roof, seems too romantic. They didn’t even bother to show his body, which was a deliberate choice seeing that many of the neutral ends where Sunny dies shows us Sunny’s body, and even hints at the effect it has on the family as you hear the mom’s frantic telephone calls ringing in the background. They cheeped out right at the end and it sucks. They could’ve shown it, they had the guts multiple other times in the game, but they just didn’t this time. A real upset in my opinion.

The song that plays in the bad ending is called ‘My time’ and the lyrics are pretty dark but, the song originally plays in the omori 2016 trailer which is one of the oldest bits of the omori Kickstarter which would make the bad ending hit harder to players that have been around since development started
