“When you first picked up your new violin you were so eager to play with me” “But keeping things up aren’t that easy” “I pushed you too hard” “I’m sorry..” “We never got to play that duet” “Do you want to play it with me now?”
What makes me cry at this part is the fact that Sunny never speaks directly in the game , to us he is mute but here we can hear him for the first time through his violin.
I absolutely love the way the game uses this to add a new perspective to your run-of-the-mill silent, teenage JRPG protag and makes you really think about it more before just dismissing them as such.
I physically cannot listen to this song it makes me so sadhappy. I wish I could erase all my memories of this game so I could go through it for the first time again
I find it hard to call Omori a horror game. It uses horror elements, but they’re generally used sparingly to enhance the story it’s trying to tell. At its core, it isn’t really trying to scare the player, it’s just using horror to help you empathize with its protagonist, SUNNY.
Never forget that they created an entire classical piano and violin duet for this game, one which follows the story of Sunny's life in the most beautiful way. This entire scene was the magnum opus of Omori, showing everything that this game truly is. Not one of fantasy, but one of love and tragedy.
Your description of this game as a tragedy makes me think of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in Star Wars. Yes, he suffered his entire life because of the manipulation of other people and because of his own self-hatred... but at the end he did free himself from those burdens, finding the courage to save himself and those he cared about. And when he died... he was truly happy for the first time in years. Was his life tragic? Arguably, yes. But he broke free of that tragedy in his finest hour.
@@ubilwilbur4775Sunny at the end: "I have to tell you something. Obi Wan never told you what happened to Mari." Kel: "He told us enough. He told us you blame yourself." Sunny: "No. I am her killer." Aubrey: "No. That's not true. That's impossible!" Sunny: "Search your feelings, you know it to be true!" Hero: "NOOOOOOOOO! Nooooo!"
the biggest pain of this game is when the group/hero constantly says “i don’t know why she would ever leave us like that” and omori just knowing that she wouldn’t to begin with but it was his fault
@@user-xy5yg6se1k yeah but that's more of avoiding the thought and rejecting the memory which is like a shellshock so you're right but at the same time it must've still given him some guilt then, right? I'm not too smart about all of that stuff tbh
@@dusty1144 nah not even avoid or rejecting , the event was so traumatized to him the brain/omori outright deleted the event from his memories. And people with dissociative amnesia can remember such an event by experiencing a specific stuff that happend inside the event , to Sunny that "Specific stuff" is the phase "Everything going to be okay" from Basil . That why Omori keep trying to kill headspace Basil to prevent sunny from remembering it.
God, I noticed that too. It's such a small touch, but it really conveys how Sunny is feeling during this moment. It's almost as if he's weeping. What a beautiful song.
Each character is a representation of the 5 stages of grief Sunny - Denial Aubrey - Anger Basil - Bargaining Hero - Depression Kel - Acceptance each character plays their roles out perfectly (:
@@Krampy2 Well the idea is that the reason the characters in headspace forget about Basil is that omori made them forget, since it reminds him of the truth.
Man. I know vibrato is a thing for Violins but in some parts of these songs it sounds more like Sunny is shaking trying to play the song... it's probably been said before but it just adds that much more imo
I read this thing about why violins lend themselves so well to sad music. Supposedly it's because of all instruments, the strings on a violin mimic the human vocal cords most similarly. In other words, when a violin trembles, it gives our brains the same signal as when someone's voice is trembling when they're crying. So yeah, when Sunny shakes while playing the violin, it's basically the same as hearing someone trying to talk through their tears. :(
@Bror i never understood this theory, it always sounded to me like it's omori forcefully trying to erase sunny's memories. never did it ever sound like an argument between brother and sister
@Bror This makes me thinking , we know about "the truth" by piecing the memories from Basil 's POV , imagine how haunting it would be to actually hear Mari's scream when falling ,and the sobbing clear as day.
As a violin student, I do think I agree with the prospect of Sunny shaking while performing the piece, but for another reason. At moments when the violin part picked up the solo, the tone quality produced from the bow stroke would thin/fade at times and this could be due to a shaky bow. A shaky bow can happen because of improper technique or posture, but I like to interpret it as Sunny's strong emotions surfacing enough to cause him to tremble and lose total control over his bow making it shake. Super sorry if this was long and incomprehensible! I just love analyzing the music in this game :)
I didn't cry when I first got to this scene. Because honestly, I felt like, while bittersweet, this was overall a happy scene. Sunny finally got to play The Duet with Mari, he finally was able to remember what makes life worth living, and he was finally able to get past the repressed trauma that had been tormenting him for 4 entire years. But experiencing it again did have me shedding tears.
Not gonna lie I dont cry with anything. Thats a thing I learned with this game, no matter how sad I am I dont cry. Its when the emptiness and sadness mixes with anxiety that I cry
Writing this on an alt account To the random internet stranger who’s reading this, this is my story, who i’ve never comprehensively told to anybody before now. A few years ago, I had a very close friend. As somebody who grew up having basically nothing, having basically ANY sort of friend meant everything to me, but this person was different. They were kind, understanding, always there for me, always listened to me when I was having issues in my life or if i just wanted to talk about Sonic or Fighting Games. They were also incredibly funny, and an overall amazing person to be around. They were an awesome person, and because of that, i’m not surprised that they became incredibly popular at school, especially within the LGBTQ+ and theater kids, such as myself. Despite this popularity, and al the friends that they had, they still chose me, some stupid autistic kid with bad social skills, as one of their BEST friends, and that meant absolutely everything to me. However, I started to get anxious that they would slowly start to forget about, and that we’d drift apart. My attachment issues didn’t like this, so I did something VERY stupid, that being vent about it in detail in a discord server we were both in, and a day later, on March 20th 2022, a date that will haunt me forever, i decided to tell them that i didn’t trust them and was thinking they were gonna leave them behind. This of course rubbed them the wrong way, and caused us to have a falling out. Let me tell ya, That next month might have been the WORST month of my life. Due to a mix of autism, and a very secluded upbringing, I had no idea how to handle this situation, and my mental health and self-esteem tanked because of it. I thought I was a terrible person because of it, thought that I’d never be able to make friends, and even contemplated suicide during that time. The day after our falling out, I sent them a big message, profusely apologizing for what had happened, and while they understood that I was sorry, I could tell that they didn’t want anything to do with me, even though I tried to regain their friendship. At one point, I was sitting, waiting for homeroom to start(At our school, we could select specific rooms to be in for four week sessions for homeroom), when they came in, and we made direct eye contact for a solid second, before they saw one of their other friends, and they very loudly said “oh thank god, i know somebody in this class.” I’ve never been able to get that out of my head since then. Looking back, I definitely should’ve given them a lot more space, they deserved it. A month after my apology, they went up to me and told me that they realized that I regretted what I had done; and that they were open to being friends again. This meant the world to me. For the next few months, I’d try talking to them a lot. Over the summer, I pry tried talking to them an average of 4 times a week. Looking back, the convos we had were a lot dryer than before our falling out, and they were pry just trying not to hurt my feelings. I also probably shouldn’t have spammed them with messages a month after a falling out. Later in the fall, I had seen them without their glasses for the very first time. Due to my inexperience of social experience, mainly bc of both my secluded upbringing as well as having basically no friend growing up, I for some reason thought it was a good idea to let them know that I thought they looked adorable, why understandably made them uncomfortable. The reason i know it made them uncomfortable is because they told their friend to tell my boyfriend to tell me that it made them uncomfortable. I felt terrible about this. The fact that it made them so uncomfortable that they didn’t have the guts to tell it to me directly, but instead had to go through multiple people to get the message to me, it stings, man. I really wish i had more self awareness. After that, I decided that i had to let them be, let them live without me, so I won’t hurt them again. Looking back, I still wish I apologized for the comment I made about them without glasses as soon as i found out it was bothering them. For the next year, that was basically it, as I gave them distance, and rarely spoke to them outside of a few rare occasions. One day, I decided that I needed to apologize to them, for everything that I’ve brought up, as well as things that I probably forgot to mention. It was a pain is the ass to schedule, but we eventually found time to meet up back in January of this year. It was brief, kinda vague, but I think they understood the general point, and how long this had haunted me. They finally forgave me, dapped me up, and went on their merry way. For the rest of the day, it felt like I had 3AM motivation, but it hit at 9 AM Instead, and last the entire day. The rest of that week was an emotional high point for me. Ironically enough, for our last semester of classes, we shared a first period class, so we saw each other a lot, and even talked a bit. I eventually reached out to them, asking if they would be interested in meeting up sometime to hang out again, like old times, and they said they were busy. after a few more attempts, I gave up, realizing that they most likely don’t want hang out. During that time, I found the wonderful game that this song comes from, and oh my, i found it at the perfect time. This game has taught me that yeah, we may have done some shitty thibgs in the past, and there’s no justifying those actions, and they’ll haunt us forever. But that doesn’t mean we’re bad people, or that those mistakes define us. It’s okay to miss people that you hurt in the past. It’s okay to forgive yourself for the bad actions you took in the past. It’s okay to use those mistakes as learning experiences so you don’t make them again. It’s okay to own up to your past, and push through it. Cas, if you’re somehow reading this message that very clearly wasn’t meant for you, I just want you to know that none of this was your fault. You couldn’t have done anything about any of this, and it’s okay to move on without me. You’re an amazing person, and I know you’re going to do great things one day. I hope you think of me every once in a while. I hope you look back fondly on the good times we had as much as I do. And please, have a great future, you deserve it. ✨ Thank you for reading, kind internet stranger, and I hope you have a great day. Best wishes!
"I tried, in the end, I did." You were brave enough to apologise, that means something. Also, I find it rude he had to tell you that by having to pass it thru other friends. The fact that he didn't confront you about it directly makes me feel as if he didn't want to overcome that low point in your relationship and just wanted to try and distance himself even more from you.
I've seen this song interpreted as a lot of things - acceptance of Mari's passing, Omori being defeated - but never as Mari and Sunny's life together. Mari starts the song with her piano, being older by three years. Sunny comes in with the violin when the melody starts. The second part represents the overwhelming practicing, over and over and over again. It hurt. It was hard. I would know. I've played this piece before. the transition between the second and third parts represents Sunny going to the top of the stairs, and throwing his violin down them. The climax represents the fight between Mari and Sunny after the violin is thrown. It's loud, fast and makes you cry as to what is about to happen next. Sunny pushes Mari down the stairs, towards the broken violin. Her bad knee makes it hard to balance. Sunny hears a deafening crunch, and Mari moves no more. The longest two seconds of Sunny's life. This is represented by the hard tritone just before the final resolution, and in the ending itself the piano stops a little before the violin. Mari is dead. The regression into isolation, and Basil's Plan begin. Remina, a piece we heard earlier in the soundtrack represents not only Mari falling down the stairs in the most horrifying way possible, but also the regret, shock, terror, sadness, and sheer inability to move Sunny was feeling after the death of Mari in the shaky violin that comes in later in the song. This game broke me in the best way possible. Thank you for reading my manifesto.
Facing the Magnum Opus of this soundtrack, I have a question in mind: "How can a music grows on you?" It started from the title screen with this colorful harmony but now with this pulsing piano we recognize this musical style we hear throughout this game. A Waltz. And then this violin alone in "Remembrance." was the missing part of this "DUET" giving more musical possibility to this piece. In this soundtrack it's all about progression. How this song evolved from the beginning to the end showing SUNNY's progression to get there ("Title", "Do You Remember?", "DUET"). If "By Your Side." represents MARI and "A Home For Flowers" represents BASIL. "DUET" represents SUNNY and MARI together playing one last time before moving forward. When some have been moved by a masterpiece, they want to forget in order to relive this emotional moment. But in music it's all about Remembering and cherish this moment. This is how a music grows on you.
I always used to find it difficult to resonate with this song, and never really understood why people thought this song was so emotional. I have heard other songs in this soundtrack that actually managed to hurt me, like "Where we Used to Play," "See You Tomorrow" and "Treehouse: Back Together Again," but wasn't able to see how this song managed to carry the same level of emotional weight as those three. But then, it hit me - *it didn't.* The thing that makes Duet different from the other "emotional" songs in this game is the fact that this one doesn't actually bring about a feeling of nostalgia. The other songs make you feel like you're looking back on an old memory from your childhood, but Duet has none of that. Instead, it feels like a memory you didn't experience, or rather, one you *COULDN'T* have experienced, as if this moment was taken away from you by something you couldn't control. That's why this theme works so well, too. It's a song about longing for something you could never have, like how Sunny feels about his duet with his sister, a song about what could've been, if only he didn't get into a fight with Mari. And that's what makes this song hit so different from every single other song in this game.
"Above all, OMOCAT wants to make things that are meaningful." She, and the rest of the team, absolutely achieved that, and beyond. The craft and dedication really show, this game deserves much praise. The first game I've felt strongly compelled to gift to friends, that is how important I think this work is. So many people I know, they need to experience this for themselves It's up there with the other masterpieces, I'd say. Even surpassed many things I thought would never be equaled.
I'm so fucking angry that this game isn't famous already :/ Why did a game with a fat skeleton get popular but a meaningful tragic story yet fun to play through game didn't get fame?
@@RealValkor If you’re referring to Undertale, it’s quite obvious why it’s famous. And it’s barely been two months since Omori’s release... chill. It took Among Us several years to explode in popularity. Just let it organically grow and it will eventually become famous.
The end to this song never ceases to give me that last punch to the gut... Especially when seeing Mari in the coffin. Ever since Basil dropped that photo, I knew she likely passed away. And throughout most of the game, they don’t even try to hide it. But I dunno, just seeing her lying there among the flowers while knowing what happened made it that much more impactful.
This game broke me, not in the ‘on the floor sobbing’ kind of way, but in my own kind of way. I’m not the kind of person to cry when something sad happens in a game/movie/show (which I believe is because when I was much younger, my brother and sister used to make fun of me for crying when watching movies together, because they were kids and kids are… kids, anyways back on topic), instead, I tend to respond by just shutting off, entering a state almost shock as I take everything in, my brain stops working and I break. I was in a call with a friend for the entirety of me playing Omori, they had played the game before and had gotten me into it. The whole time we were playing I was cracking jokes, even at the dark and scary parts. But I entered this ending and I stopped trying to banter, I was immersed, and after duet and the ending, all jokes were gone, I was just broken, he even commented how he had never seen me like this. I still do feel the aftershock of that ending partially, as a recurring thought which I linger on for a while, 10/10 game!
She started the piano. She was born first. When she stopped and Sunny kept doing the violin part.... Means that she died first, but Sunny learned to go on, which is symbolized by his alone part in the violin.
SPOILERS Mari was talented and social. Sunny was shy and timid. When he got the violin he suddenly had a weight on him but he didnt want to let his friends down. After all they bought it for him. They even showed us that he was more interested in the box than the violin as a way of showing the mental weight he immediately recieved from the violin. He practiced and practiced but he was tired. And he was anxious to be in front of a crowd. But the perfectionist mari, as seen in the photos where she would keep on practicing the song, kept pushing him to perfect the song over and over for the recital. So one day after a fight sunny broke the violin which mari and the others bought for him. Of course she would get angry and expect an explanation. But sunny had enough and pushed her. He didnt mean to push her down the stairs. He loved her and probably just pushed out of instinct and rage. Seeing what happened basil was probably the one to suggest to hang her corpse. Because he didnt want his beloved bestfriend to be hated by the others. He convinced himself that it wasnt sunny that pushed mari but something else. Someone as great as sunny could never kill his own sister. So they hung her. Making it seem like it was never sunnys fault. They were 12 year olds and were scared. Its not out of the realm of possibility for them to do something like that to save themselves. But what was sad was all that depression and anxiety and guilt and denial they had to go through. They were 12 years old and they had to go through 4 years of mental hell to the point of becoming pale and skinny. Not to mention basil having to go through bullying and her grandmothers illness. Its no wonder that if they didnt move on both of them wouldve probably commit suicide from all that trauma. Damn i know what they did was bad but i really understand and empathize with them. I know others have probably wrote similar comments but i just want to write mine. Hopefully new players who see this comment can start to understand what sunny and basil was going through a lot better.
@@Sally-uu3yt The box that sunny liked more than the present was from his 12th birthday. The gift was a set of building blocks, and you can find the picture in Basil's photo album. Also, Basil is a he, not a she.
Someone mentioned in the comments that around 1:49 you can hear the violin making shaky notes which sounds like someone crying. And to add onto this, it could be a metaphor about how sunny is messing up because he’s remembering his sister and the pain is affecting his life ( his performance. ) but by the end of the song, he finishes it off with his violin alone and beautifully. This can be a metaphor in itself that Mari is gone but sunny is able to pick himself up and move on and continue his performance ( his life ) and continue it beautifully without shaky notes ( without pain ) anymore.
kinda sounds like normal vibrato tbh, it's a super common method to add more emotion to long violin notes. i'm not actually a violinist though, so i'm not sure if this would be actual vibrato or Sunny shaking while playing
it does sound like shaky bow to me, vibrato is a bending of the notes while at 1:49 and also the start you can clearly hear that there are breaks in the notes.
I wanted to cry so bad, but that was really difficult when my Dad was in the room and the whole section where the truth was revealed was intercut with my family talking to me about what we'd eat for dinner the next day. This song still gets me though.
Omori is what horror games should be like, it's terrifying and doesn't just use loud noises. Edit: This has gotten a lot of likes, and I just feel like saying, I'm fine with jumpscares and loud noises, but atmosphere is what I really like in horror games.
"Are you winning son?" "s-son.." *me in a corner, wrapped in many blankets as I listen to this soundtrack, reminiscing the good times when I was a kid, wondering where it all went wrong* "I'm fine."
"oh no, aging, better compare it to the literal indicental murder of one's family, letting one's grief ferment until it becomes the equivalent of wood alcohol only for one to be faced with an ultimatum where they either die or chug it down, while let me remind you that the "one" in question is a literal preteen"
@@Prismate eh... i feel the same as them, and they're not comparing aging to it. I moved away and I still cry 2+ years later about not seeing my friends from there. It's always this song that I cry to, too.
Despite what sunny and basil did, I think we can all agree that they deserve forgiveness, they were scared and didn’t know what to do, but above all, they told the full story of what happened, that’s more important than anything else
@@zaytaz9331 yes, when Mari first fell, Basil could ¿should? have said Mari just tripped, but it wouldn't have really mattered what Basil said, it maybe would have helped Aubrey, Kel, and especially Hero a little bit more, but Sunny and Basil would still be just as troubled, Sunny needed to except it happened and it was an accident on Sunny's part, while Basil needed to accept good people can do bad. (It's also Story-Wise less interesting for Basil to stage it as a trip instead of an suicide, and when you play a Story including game, having a great Story is kinda important)
I was playing OMORI in a room with my brother, and the moment I reached THIS scene, I had to shift my setup to the next room so that I could cry comfortably, this scene was just too beautiful and sweet. Thanks OMO CAT
The fact that Mari was the only one who started, which then Sunny followed after her and how they play more advanced throughout the song mentally hurts my brain. And how Sunny got to end the song I’m just, amazed how this game impacted so many people including myself.
Final Duet is the first time I have ever cried while playing a video game. I have a very bad issue with not being able to cry even when I feel immense emotions. This helped me so much. I sobbed so much, it hurt. It's so beautiful though.
this game's usage of even the smallest details (or lack theirof) with context to absolutely emotionally gutpunch people is incredible the mere fact that the duet sounds beautiful is already tragic enough, as only sunny can even potentially experience what COULD have been, even still it's his projected version of it, not reality and of course, the fact that not only does mari start alone and sunny end alone obviously reflect reality, but sunny STILL envisions himself playing imperfectly so much thought behind a piano and violin duet
Okay, I was literally playing the game at like 3am. My whole room was pitch black, and I was terrified when I was fighting omori, with all of the distorted music and all of the things in the background. And when this cutscene played, I felt like I was supposed to be crying, but I was literally so freaked out about what happened that I was just stuck in shock the whole time lmao What a great game
I'd fought him as 12:50 am When I saw this specially Mari playing the piano I'd cried, touched the screen when Mari's corpse appeared and just whispered "Goodbye, Mari..."
i also was there, i started the game early, but...i could stop, not until the end, and when duet plays, i cry but as much i would think... but later that day i play it on youtube and destroy me... i can hear the song, but i can watch the full scene with the song.... it´s too much
The thing that made me cry at this part was Sunny trying get one last look at Mari’s face. But he couldn’t see her. So he just embraced her presence while she was still around knowing that soon she would be gone again.
Actually found out that one translation of “Omori” is “A Weight” and I think that fits nicely for what he’s supposed to resemble in Sunny’s mind. Omori is the weight of Sunny’s actions keeping him from moving forward in life, keeping him in the little world of his where everything was still ok, and eventually keeping him from coming to terms with reality in the bad ending and taking control to make Sunny kill himself. The weight is hostile and unforgiving when Sunny goes down the path to try and accept reality and forgive himself as Mari would want, the weight does everything it can to either hold Sunny back or end it all. And when Sunny perseveres and plays that final duet, Sunny comes to terms with the past and present, and the weight is lifted and accepting. Omori is only there as long as Sunny holds and represses the weight of Mari’s death.
@@iceypino1086 Or, Mement- *o* *Mori* , as in, a reminder of death. OMORI himself can be considered one, even though he's also trying to violently suppress those memoires.
I remember first seeing OMORI's announcement back when I was in middle school. I was so excited to see OMO CAT's artwork in a game. Now I'm a freshman in college. I just finished my 1st playthrough and wow.... Definitely not what I had expected. There's certainly a lot to take in. Thank you to the OMORI Team!
All of us went on this journey together. We all saw the same stupid jokes The same lovable characters The same joys and sorrows that came with it. Some of our choices may of been different but we all ended up here. We all fell in love with a world much like our own. But it's not all fantasy because our dreams can come true. We can recover. We can try again after failure. Through support and the kindness of others we can reach out to those who need it most. "I enjoyed this adventure. I enjoyed being able to experience and go through it with each and every one if you." - Elle When I was on a road to recovery someone asked me to list what I wanted to do and is worth fighting for and the first thing on that list was to play omori on release. I promised myself that I would attempt to make the effort of recovery for this story. Omocat team thank you for your hard work these past few years.
I've been listening through all of these videos and reading all of your comments along the way. This comment with the music finally made me begin to cry. Everyone has something that they are running from, internal fears and personal traumas. When we are able to share that with others we begin to heal. The year 2020 has been terrible for me, like it has been for many people, and has sowed the seeds of depression in me. I have begun to have crossing thoughts of self-harm and suicide but always immediately shake them out. Like Sunny, I have plenty of friends that have saved me from myself and made me happy. Thank you for sharing with us Elle, I have really enjoyed your reflections on these videos.
I am glad people took the time to read them. :) I left the messages for those who felt lost or are entering a period of life that so many of have to go through. The little interactions we have can vastly change a person's direction in life so I wanted to leave a little bit of positivity and be there for someone even if I'm not there in person. I'll always be rooting for everyone! :)
the point when i finally cried. ever since i lost my dad ive been a little more emotional. before i never cried. its a blessing in a way my fathers death have me an understanding of emotions, empathy and being human
People still make jokes of “fatherless” in 2023, if those people come to this comment don’t even try to fight but instead ignore them. Actually losing your father (especially since in my opinion, fathers are better than mothers) would make your life so much worse. Hope you’re trying to stay strong.
@@minifye dude this was a whole year ago and the original comment I was replying to was deleted I honestly forgot I ever listened to this song on UA-cam, let alone commented
*SPOILERS* My sister and I have always been a bit different from eachother. She’s older than me. A bit of a perfectionist, and honestly mean sometimes. But she’s so wonderfully kind when I need it, and past her rude comments she’ll always hold me when I need to cry and she’ll tell me that everything will be okay in the most honest way she can. She’s more social than me. I’ve never been good at making friends. People in general scare me quite a bit. The idea of talking to someone is terrifying sometimes. I’m quiet, but I get angry easier. I don’t hold expectations as well as she does. She plays piano. She’s not very good, but she plays. I used to sit with her while she practiced, and I’d laugh when she’d get a note wrong. She wouldn’t be mad- she’d laugh too, and make some stupid joke that would derail practice entirely. I love my sister. And I hate her sometimes, too. She’s kind and mean and wonderful and terrible. She’s human. She’s a person. Going through the story of Omori, I did not expect it to get to me. I’ve played and watched plenty of horror games before. While some have scared of affected me more then others, none have made a lasting impact on me. But Omori was different, I suppose. Especially this scene. When I reached this part of the game, I cried. Tears were falling down my face, almost blurring my vision of the screen. I just couldn’t take it. Learning about sunny and mari, about their relationship, about what sunny did... it broke me. Because I could see myself in his place. I understand how he must have felt, I know why he pushed her. It was impulse out of anger. It was an accident. Seeing sunny and Mari grow up together, seeing sunnys guilt grow, it just brought me back to my sister. The sister I saw so much of Mari reflected in. I barely slept that night. I just couldn’t stop thinking- about sunny, about mari- about my sister. I don’t know if I have much else to say. This game was beautiful. I could see myself in sunnys place. Maybe I’ll try to take up violin. I’m not very musical, but I’d like to be able to play a duet with my sister. Even if we’re both not very good.
There may be no better song to possibly define an entire game like this one. Literally every piece of Sunny and Mari was put into this song to make it as beautiful as it is.
Mari being my favorite character from the beginning I thought she was just the self help guid nothing more but her becoming relevant to the plot made me so happy
Roughly 9 years ago, my sister died of cancer. I was only ten at the times. I started to slowly realise how little time we had spent together, all the times I wasn't very nice to her, every single one of her smiles and the fact that she still didn't give her first kiss to her boyfriend because she said he wasn't ready yet. She would be there to comfort me when I needed it, she would always make me feel important and every time I was sad, she would try to make me laugh. I remember her saying how the tubes that helped her breathe made her sound like a kitty purring. She's forever gone, I will never heal, but that's not supposed to happen. I am just supposed to live now. Continue living. Thanks, OMORI. Thanks, OMOCAT.
Healing doesn't necessarily mean the wounds disappear completely. Scars may (and often will) remain. What Sunny's performance does is illustrate the beauty that arises from those wounds and scars. He can't go back to before Mari's death, but he can stand as a testament to the love that never really left him at all. Broken though he might be, he has grown stronger through his acceptance of the truths that have brought him here. In other words, Omori is not merely facing Sunny here... he's facing Hero, Kel, Aubrey, Basil, Mari AND Sunny all at once. Together, as they've always been, as they'll always be.
It's been a week after i beat the game and i really need to say this so here we are. This moment was just painful. i was never very close to my brother, and i feel like it's too late now. I wasn't here for him when he needed it the most because i myself was dealing with some stuff. A bad excuse, i know. I feel like an absolute trash of a sibling. And the shittiest thing was the fact that we were in the exact same situation once. I fucking pushed my little brother down the fucking stairs in a fit caused by my ocd. And he cracked his skull. It wasn't severe thanks god but I won't ever forgive myself for it. He's 15 now and I will try to make everything better. Now when our home life is relatively calm. I'll try to make up for everything i didn't do for him and i hopefully one day i will be able to at least bring myself to hug him
I will never forget this game, and especially this part of the game. It’s my favorite scene out of any piece of online media, and its hard to articulate how this scene makes me feel.
It's weird that I get the feeling I've heard this song before? OMORI said it's just my imagination, so it's probably... You know,I trust my little brother too much!I
Funny you say that... a number of the tracks in this OST sound oddly familiar to me, as if I heard them somewhere long ago. Maybe in my dreams? (Seriously, HOW do I have this feeling of familiarity when I never heard the OST until recently?!)
During the 1890s, Russian physiologist, Ivan Pavlov was researching salivation in dogs in response to being fed. He inserted a small test tube into the cheek of each dog to measure saliva when the dogs were fed (with a powder made from meat). Pavlov predicted the dogs would salivate in response to the food placed in front of them, but he noticed that his dogs would begin to salivate whenever they heard the footsteps of his assistant who was bringing them the food. When Pavlov discovered that any object or event which the dogs learned to associate with food (such as the lab assistant) would trigger the same response, he realized that he had made an important scientific discovery. “Lmao dumb dogs salivating whenever they hear sounds. I guess this is what really separates intelligent Homo sapiens from...” _duet starts playing_ *”I’M SO SORRY MARI”* _intense sobbing_
You know what I find most tragic about this, what really hits in gutter? We see her life, full of everything. As if story writes itself with her, future is so bright you can totally picture it yourself without any help. And then it all stops at 2:00 You can't help yourself but ask "how this can be her fate?". That crippling dread of young life lost, even in happiest of endings this dread still preserves (this is to me why OMORI ultimately stays and does not succumb) it's indeed a tragedy when even the best outcome possible for story comes with bittersweet aftertaste. I am tipping my hat towards OMOCAT what a story, what a game.
Everyone, promise me that in the future (about 5-6 years or so) you'll remember this Masterpiece and come back once again!! There's always going to be a scenario where we forget a Gem, but at least we won't forget it forever!! I love this game so much! I might forget it someday, but *I promise,* I'll remember this and come back here! Cheers everyone
In 2023 here, when we get to 2027 I will officially come back to this comment and say "I’m back in 2027, still cry to this seven years later" Making my words here.
A lot of years passed since I've felt things like what this game gave me. Sure I got sad sometimes but mostly I was just numb to everything. Lots of scenes in this game made me feel things, but never to the point of really moving me. Then I got to this scene, and this song. I shed the first tears I had in years. Before that I think I forgot how to even cry. This was truly a beautiful scene, and it helped me in some strange way. Never thought a RPG maker game I picked up on a whim would do that to me. Thanks for reading this personal little comment of mine. I hope this game means a lot to others like it does to me.
Especially after his one lifeline, sunny, essentially broke his promise and forgot about him. I think one of the the most interesting parts about this entire story is you know everything Sunny has done is wrong yet you can’t help but understand or justify the decisions he made out of fear. They definitely hurt Basil the most, and I think that’s why the mission to rescue Basil and make amends hurts so much- because you only want the best to come of the situation before being hit with the brutal realization that it’s not that simple. And yet, it makes it all the more amazing when this scene happens and you finally are able to repair even just a little of what had been damaged in those four years.
@@farnazbarari8940 to be fair I doubt he was very happy in his life considering his parent kinda just were non existent. All he had was his grandmother.
I think it's quite funny that, this entire moment will always be seen the first time, even if spoiled. Say, you know damn near everything, read every little thing, studied every little thing you can just for the kicks. This duet is always earned. You have to commit to developing these bonds and hard investment with Aubrey, Kel, Hero, Basil, Sunny, Mari, to really feel this scene the first time. Its not that it doesn't work without context, its that you have to already be deep in your gut sitting with every bit of hurt and sadness from that encounter with the enemy. Its not that you'll be unworthy, its because, it's just memories. rose tinted memories with these individuals who are still mourning their friend every day. And, after that hefty journey of trying to make sense of the flood of memories coming to you, the flood of pain that used to be so distant is here, that pain that eats away at this guilt burdened boy so much, he lost touch with EVERYTHING, not just his friends, his family, his sister, but, the memories that bound them all together, and this little thing called self. You have to earn those bonds back, to really feel why these rose tinted memories are so important to the boy.
I genuinely cannot think of a game that has made me feel so overwhelmingly sad while giving me a satisfying and happy conclusion, I’ve been thinking about this game nonstop the past few weeks and this is undoubtedly one of my favorite games. The personal impact it has had on me surpasses any other media that I’ve seen. I want everyone I know to experience this masterpiece. Wow, just a wonderful game, I don’t have the confidence to say this game is my favorite but I can say it’s perfect.
I just finished this game at about 6 am today, and I will never be the same. I don't think anything has ever made me feel this way before. Thank you. For everything.
After seeing this scene, I got up to hug and kiss my siblings and tell them I love them. Being the oldest sibling is something I've realized, through this game, is a privilege I would never trade for anything in this world.
Excuse me, sorry if the questions seems a little weird, but could you explain better what you mean with privilege in this case? As the youngest sibling I know older siblings have it very harsh but I’m actually curious to know what privileges are you talking about. Again, I’m deeply sorry if the question seems uncomfortable
@@papyrusn1fangirl I may be incorrect but as an eldest sibling myself I can say that the privilege is that of watching my younger siblings grow and thrive everyday. I'm proud of them and the people they're becoming. It's a privilege to be a part of their lives, to see them excited about their interests, to be there for them. The privilege is being able to love them.

Damn...you are becoming Omori!
Try unpsoil me, it actually works if you give it enough time, I’ve used it.
I find it hard to call Omori a horror game. It uses horror elements, but they’re generally used sparingly to enhance the story it’s trying to tell. At its core, it isn’t really trying to scare the player, it’s just using horror to help you empathize with its protagonist, SUNNY.
And to show how he perseveres in spite of his fears. In this critical moment, he displays ultimate courage.
Thats the best comment of the game imo
Kid named red maze:
@@ubilwilbur4775 do me a favor and close... your eyes
@@kdb0705 you’ll be here soon
Never forget that they created an entire classical piano and violin duet for this game, one which follows the story of Sunny's life in the most beautiful way. This entire scene was the magnum opus of Omori, showing everything that this game truly is. Not one of fantasy, but one of love and tragedy.
Your description of this game as a tragedy makes me think of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in Star Wars. Yes, he suffered his entire life because of the manipulation of other people and because of his own self-hatred... but at the end he did free himself from those burdens, finding the courage to save himself and those he cared about. And when he died... he was truly happy for the first time in years.
Was his life tragic? Arguably, yes. But he broke free of that tragedy in his finest hour.

It was Sunny tho not Omori
he didn't know either since he acquired dissociative amnesia from the trauma
@@user-xy5yg6se1k yeah but that's more of avoiding the thought and rejecting the memory which is like a shellshock so you're right but at the same time it must've still given him some guilt then, right? I'm not too smart about all of that stuff tbh
@@dusty1144 nah not even avoid or rejecting , the event was so traumatized to him the brain/omori outright deleted the event from his memories.
And people with dissociative amnesia can remember such an event by experiencing a specific stuff that happend inside the event , to Sunny that "Specific stuff" is the phase "Everything going to be okay" from Basil . That why Omori keep trying to kill headspace Basil to prevent sunny from remembering it.

Are you the person who put up the sheet music on Musescore?
If so, thank you.
It’s hard as f*** though, for a violinist.
no wonder sunny had a hard time
thenk u for providing the music sheet, now i can give our piano severe water damage as i play TwT
Man. I know vibrato is a thing for Violins but in some parts of these songs it sounds more like Sunny is shaking trying to play the song... it's probably been said before but it just adds that much more imo
I read this thing about why violins lend themselves so well to sad music. Supposedly it's because of all instruments, the strings on a violin mimic the human vocal cords most similarly. In other words, when a violin trembles, it gives our brains the same signal as when someone's voice is trembling when they're crying.
So yeah, when Sunny shakes while playing the violin, it's basically the same as hearing someone trying to talk through their tears. :(
@Bror i never understood this theory, it always sounded to me like it's omori forcefully trying to erase sunny's memories. never did it ever sound like an argument between brother and sister
Reminds me of how the guitar part of Undertale was recorded with an actual guitar to make the song more meaningful. Masterpieces
@Bror This makes me thinking , we know about "the truth" by piecing the memories from Basil 's POV , imagine how haunting it would be to actually hear Mari's scream when falling ,and the sobbing clear as day.
As a violin student, I do think I agree with the prospect of Sunny shaking while performing the piece, but for another reason. At moments when the violin part picked up the solo, the tone quality produced from the bow stroke would thin/fade at times and this could be due to a shaky bow. A shaky bow can happen because of improper technique or posture, but I like to interpret it as Sunny's strong emotions surfacing enough to cause him to tremble and lose total control over his bow making it shake.
Super sorry if this was long and incomprehensible! I just love analyzing the music in this game :)

But experiencing it again did have me shedding tears.

*BRO IT HITS SO HARD IT HURTS*
This ost gave me a mental breakdown I’ll give you that
Writing this on an alt account
To the random internet stranger who’s reading this, this is my story, who i’ve never comprehensively told to anybody before now.
A few years ago, I had a very close friend. As somebody who grew up having basically nothing, having basically ANY sort of friend meant everything to me, but this person was different. They were kind, understanding, always there for me, always listened to me when I was having issues in my life or if i just wanted to talk about Sonic or Fighting Games. They were also incredibly funny, and an overall amazing person to be around. They were an awesome person, and because of that, i’m not surprised that they became incredibly popular at school, especially within the LGBTQ+ and theater kids, such as myself. Despite this popularity, and al the friends that they had, they still chose me, some stupid autistic kid with bad social skills, as one of their BEST friends, and that meant absolutely everything to me.
However, I started to get anxious that they would slowly start to forget about, and that we’d drift apart. My attachment issues didn’t like this, so I did something VERY stupid, that being vent about it in detail in a discord server we were both in, and a day later, on March 20th 2022, a date that will haunt me forever, i decided to tell them that i didn’t trust them and was thinking they were gonna leave them behind. This of course rubbed them the wrong way, and caused us to have a falling out. Let me tell ya, That next month might have been the WORST month of my life.
Due to a mix of autism, and a very secluded upbringing, I had no idea how to handle this situation, and my mental health and self-esteem tanked because of it. I thought I was a terrible person because of it, thought that I’d never be able to make friends, and even contemplated suicide during that time. The day after our falling out, I sent them a big message, profusely apologizing for what had happened, and while they understood that I was sorry, I could tell that they didn’t want anything to do with me, even though I tried to regain their friendship. At one point, I was sitting, waiting for homeroom to start(At our school, we could select specific rooms to be in for four week sessions for homeroom), when they came in, and we made direct eye contact for a solid second, before they saw one of their other friends, and they very loudly said “oh thank god, i know somebody in this class.” I’ve never been able to get that out of my head since then. Looking back, I definitely should’ve given them a lot more space, they deserved it.
A month after my apology, they went up to me and told me that they realized that I regretted what I had done; and that they were open to being friends again. This meant the world to me. For the next few months, I’d try talking to them a lot. Over the summer, I pry tried talking to them an average of 4 times a week. Looking back, the convos we had were a lot dryer than before our falling out, and they were pry just trying not to hurt my feelings. I also probably shouldn’t have spammed them with messages a month after a falling out.
Later in the fall, I had seen them without their glasses for the very first time. Due to my inexperience of social experience, mainly bc of both my secluded upbringing as well as having basically no friend growing up, I for some reason thought it was a good idea to let them know that I thought they looked adorable, why understandably made them uncomfortable. The reason i know it made them uncomfortable is because they told their friend to tell my boyfriend to tell me that it made them uncomfortable. I felt terrible about this. The fact that it made them so uncomfortable that they didn’t have the guts to tell it to me directly, but instead had to go through multiple people to get the message to me, it stings, man. I really wish i had more self awareness. After that, I decided that i had to let them be, let them live without me, so I won’t hurt them again. Looking back, I still wish I apologized for the comment I made about them without glasses as soon as i found out it was bothering them.
For the next year, that was basically it, as I gave them distance, and rarely spoke to them outside of a few rare occasions. One day, I decided that I needed to apologize to them, for everything that I’ve brought up, as well as things that I probably forgot to mention. It was a pain is the ass to schedule, but we eventually found time to meet up back in January of this year. It was brief, kinda vague, but I think they understood the general point, and how long this had haunted me. They finally forgave me, dapped me up, and went on their merry way. For the rest of the day, it felt like I had 3AM motivation, but it hit at 9 AM Instead, and last the entire day. The rest of that week was an emotional high point for me.
Ironically enough, for our last semester of classes, we shared a first period class, so we saw each other a lot, and even talked a bit. I eventually reached out to them, asking if they would be interested in meeting up sometime to hang out again, like old times, and they said they were busy. after a few more attempts, I gave up, realizing that they most likely don’t want hang out.
During that time, I found the wonderful game that this song comes from, and oh my, i found it at the perfect time. This game has taught me that yeah, we may have done some shitty thibgs in the past, and there’s no justifying those actions, and they’ll haunt us forever. But that doesn’t mean we’re bad people, or that those mistakes define us.
It’s okay to miss people that you hurt in the past. It’s okay to forgive yourself for the bad actions you took in the past. It’s okay to use those mistakes as learning experiences so you don’t make them again. It’s okay to own up to your past, and push through it.
Cas, if you’re somehow reading this message that very clearly wasn’t meant for you, I just want you to know that none of this was your fault. You couldn’t have done anything about any of this, and it’s okay to move on without me. You’re an amazing person, and I know you’re going to do great things one day. I hope you think of me every once in a while. I hope you look back fondly on the good times we had as much as I do. And please, have a great future, you deserve it. ✨
Thank you for reading, kind internet stranger, and I hope you have a great day. Best wishes!
"I tried, in the end, I did." You were brave enough to apologise, that means something. Also, I find it rude he had to tell you that by having to pass it thru other friends. The fact that he didn't confront you about it directly makes me feel as if he didn't want to overcome that low point in your relationship and just wanted to try and distance himself even more from you.
@@noahhasdisconnected5214^^ I second this
I've seen this song interpreted as a lot of things - acceptance of Mari's passing, Omori being defeated - but never as Mari and Sunny's life together.
Mari starts the song with her piano, being older by three years. Sunny comes in with the violin when the melody starts. The second part represents the overwhelming practicing, over and over and over again. It hurt. It was hard. I would know. I've played this piece before. the transition between the second and third parts represents Sunny going to the top of the stairs, and throwing his violin down them.
The climax represents the fight between Mari and Sunny after the violin is thrown. It's loud, fast and makes you cry as to what is about to happen next.
Sunny pushes Mari down the stairs, towards the broken violin. Her bad knee makes it hard to balance. Sunny hears a deafening crunch, and Mari moves no more.
The longest two seconds of Sunny's life.
This is represented by the hard tritone just before the final resolution, and in the ending itself the piano stops a little before the violin.
Mari is dead.
The regression into isolation, and Basil's Plan begin.
Remina, a piece we heard earlier in the soundtrack represents not only Mari falling down the stairs in the most horrifying way possible, but also the regret, shock, terror, sadness, and sheer inability to move Sunny was feeling after the death of Mari in the shaky violin that comes in later in the song.
This game broke me in the best way possible.
Thank you for reading my manifesto.

true but the twist that the final boss was claus
Facing the Magnum Opus of this soundtrack, I have a question in mind:
"How can a music grows on you?"
It started from the title screen with this colorful harmony but now with this pulsing piano we recognize this musical style we hear throughout this game.
A Waltz.
And then this violin alone in "Remembrance." was the missing part of this "DUET" giving more musical possibility to this piece.
In this soundtrack it's all about progression. How this song evolved from the beginning to the end showing SUNNY's progression to get there ("Title", "Do You Remember?", "DUET").
If "By Your Side." represents MARI and "A Home For Flowers" represents BASIL. "DUET" represents SUNNY and MARI together playing one last time before moving forward.
When some have been moved by a masterpiece, they want to forget in order to relive this emotional moment. But in music it's all about
Remembering and cherish this moment.
This is how a music grows on you.
👏👏👏
I always used to find it difficult to resonate with this song, and never really understood why people thought this song was so emotional. I have heard other songs in this soundtrack that actually managed to hurt me, like "Where we Used to Play," "See You Tomorrow" and "Treehouse: Back Together Again," but wasn't able to see how this song managed to carry the same level of emotional weight as those three. But then, it hit me - *it didn't.* The thing that makes Duet different from the other "emotional" songs in this game is the fact that this one doesn't actually bring about a feeling of nostalgia. The other songs make you feel like you're looking back on an old memory from your childhood, but Duet has none of that. Instead, it feels like a memory you didn't experience, or rather, one you *COULDN'T* have experienced, as if this moment was taken away from you by something you couldn't control. That's why this theme works so well, too. It's a song about longing for something you could never have, like how Sunny feels about his duet with his sister, a song about what could've been, if only he didn't get into a fight with Mari. And that's what makes this song hit so different from every single other song in this game.
this is so beautifully explained omg
Best comment ever
"Above all, OMOCAT wants to make things that are meaningful."
She, and the rest of the team, absolutely achieved that, and beyond.
The craft and dedication really show, this game deserves much praise.
The first game I've felt strongly compelled to gift to friends, that is how important I think this work is. So many people I know, they need to experience this for themselves
It's up there with the other masterpieces, I'd say.
Even surpassed many things I thought would never be equaled.
I'm so fucking angry that this game isn't famous already :/
Why did a game with a fat skeleton get popular but a meaningful tragic story yet fun to play through game didn't get fame?
@@RealValkor If you’re referring to Undertale, it’s quite obvious why it’s famous. And it’s barely been two months since Omori’s release... chill. It took Among Us several years to explode in popularity. Just let it organically grow and it will eventually become famous.
@@catcactus1234 I was joking btw.
Oh God, we're starting with the undertale and omori debates. Look, please, they're both good games, no need to compare one to the other :3
@@mintyfresh9279 It's fair to compare them since they are both so similar.
The end to this song never ceases to give me that last punch to the gut... Especially when seeing Mari in the coffin. Ever since Basil dropped that photo, I knew she likely passed away. And throughout most of the game, they don’t even try to hide it. But I dunno, just seeing her lying there among the flowers while knowing what happened made it that much more impactful.
Plus according to the gam ethe flowers mean my thoughts will follow you into your dreams
Whenever I rewatch that scene, I always instinctively have to look away cos it hurts to look at it
Play Omori and maybe this game will have an impact on your mentality ( olso that can be Includes your social life too )

Y/N: Sounds great!
This game broke me, not in the ‘on the floor sobbing’ kind of way, but in my own kind of way. I’m not the kind of person to cry when something sad happens in a game/movie/show (which I believe is because when I was much younger, my brother and sister used to make fun of me for crying when watching movies together, because they were kids and kids are… kids, anyways back on topic), instead, I tend to respond by just shutting off, entering a state almost shock as I take everything in, my brain stops working and I break. I was in a call with a friend for the entirety of me playing Omori, they had played the game before and had gotten me into it. The whole time we were playing I was cracking jokes, even at the dark and scary parts. But I entered this ending and I stopped trying to banter, I was immersed, and after duet and the ending, all jokes were gone, I was just broken, he even commented how he had never seen me like this. I still do feel the aftershock of that ending partially, as a recurring thought which I linger on for a while, 10/10 game!
this broke me in both ways 🎉🎉
She started the piano.
She was born first.

True.
SPOILERS
Mari was talented and social. Sunny was shy and timid. When he got the violin he suddenly had a weight on him but he didnt want to let his friends down. After all they bought it for him. They even showed us that he was more interested in the box than the violin as a way of showing the mental weight he immediately recieved from the violin. He practiced and practiced but he was tired. And he was anxious to be in front of a crowd. But the perfectionist mari, as seen in the photos where she would keep on practicing the song, kept pushing him to perfect the song over and over for the recital. So one day after a fight sunny broke the violin which mari and the others bought for him. Of course she would get angry and expect an explanation. But sunny had enough and pushed her. He didnt mean to push her down the stairs. He loved her and probably just pushed out of instinct and rage. Seeing what happened basil was probably the one to suggest to hang her corpse. Because he didnt want his beloved bestfriend to be hated by the others. He convinced himself that it wasnt sunny that pushed mari but something else. Someone as great as sunny could never kill his own sister. So they hung her. Making it seem like it was never sunnys fault. They were 12 year olds and were scared. Its not out of the realm of possibility for them to do something like that to save themselves. But what was sad was all that depression and anxiety and guilt and denial they had to go through. They were 12 years old and they had to go through 4 years of mental hell to the point of becoming pale and skinny. Not to mention basil having to go through bullying and her grandmothers illness. Its no wonder that if they didnt move on both of them wouldve probably commit suicide from all that trauma. Damn i know what they did was bad but i really understand and empathize with them.
I know others have probably wrote similar comments but i just want to write mine. Hopefully new players who see this comment can start to understand what sunny and basil was going through a lot better.
Yeah, I approve this to be pretty much accurate ;D
Respect+++
Pretty sure it was the blocks that had the box, but the rest of this is so accurate *it hurts*
@Tea Dragon wasnt sunnys birthday never mentioned. It was basil birthday that was photographed
@@Sally-uu3yt The box that sunny liked more than the present was from his 12th birthday. The gift was a set of building blocks, and you can find the picture in Basil's photo album. Also, Basil is a he, not a she.
Someone mentioned in the comments that around 1:49 you can hear the violin making shaky notes which sounds like someone crying. And to add onto this, it could be a metaphor about how sunny is messing up because he’s remembering his sister and the pain is affecting his life ( his performance. ) but by the end of the song, he finishes it off with his violin alone and beautifully. This can be a metaphor in itself that Mari is gone but sunny is able to pick himself up and move on and continue his performance ( his life ) and continue it beautifully without shaky notes ( without pain ) anymore.
He actually stutters at the point in the animation where he looks at Mari playing the piano for the last time
kinda sounds like normal vibrato tbh, it's a super common method to add more emotion to long violin notes. i'm not actually a violinist though, so i'm not sure if this would be actual vibrato or Sunny shaking while playing
it’s vibrato, you can hear it at the start too
it does sound like shaky bow to me, vibrato is a bending of the notes while at 1:49 and also the start you can clearly hear that there are breaks in the notes.
Have you ever heard the word "vibrato"?

Omori is what horror games should be like, it's terrifying and doesn't just use loud noises.

Despite what sunny and basil did, I think we can all agree that they deserve forgiveness, they were scared and didn’t know what to do, but above all, they told the full story of what happened, that’s more important than anything else
Basil could've just said Mari tripped on the stairs though...
@@zaytaz9331 That isn't very convincing
@@mmnd8158 wdym that's literally what happened, except it wasn't her accident. It would've been perfectly convincible

(It's also Story-Wise less interesting for Basil to stage it as a trip instead of an suicide, and when you play a Story including game, having a great Story is kinda important)

"Why are you moving everything to that room"
"I need to get something out of my eyes"
"But... you don't need to-"
"BYE"
The fact that Mari was the only one who started, which then Sunny followed after her and how they play more advanced throughout the song mentally hurts my brain. And how Sunny got to end the song I’m just, amazed how this game impacted so many people including myself.
They banned the song on my school laptop 😭
they don't want everyone crying in the middle of class

*Uncontrollable Crying*
Final Duet is the first time I have ever cried while playing a video game. I have a very bad issue with not being able to cry even when I feel immense emotions. This helped me so much. I sobbed so much, it hurt. It's so beautiful though.
this game's usage of even the smallest details (or lack theirof) with context to absolutely emotionally gutpunch people is incredible
the mere fact that the duet sounds beautiful is already tragic enough, as only sunny can even potentially experience what COULD have been, even still it's his projected version of it, not reality
and of course, the fact that not only does mari start alone and sunny end alone obviously reflect reality, but sunny STILL envisions himself playing imperfectly
so much thought behind a piano and violin duet
Okay, I was literally playing the game at like 3am. My whole room was pitch black, and I was terrified when I was fighting omori, with all of the distorted music and all of the things in the background. And when this cutscene played, I felt like I was supposed to be crying, but I was literally so freaked out about what happened that I was just stuck in shock the whole time lmao
What a great game
Same! I was too freaked out to cry at this scene so I watched it again to get the true feels
guess we both fought omori at three am
I'd fought him as 12:50 am
When I saw this specially Mari playing the piano I'd cried, touched the screen when Mari's corpse appeared and just whispered "Goodbye, Mari..."
i also was there, i started the game early, but...i could stop, not until the end, and when duet plays, i cry but as much i would think... but later that day i play it on youtube and destroy me... i can hear the song, but i can watch the full scene with the song.... it´s too much
For a boy named Sunny his life sure wasn't very sunny...
The thing that made me cry at this part was Sunny trying get one last look at Mari’s face. But he couldn’t see her. So he just embraced her presence while she was still around knowing that soon she would be gone again.
Not everyone talks about that small moment it's so impactful it breaks me the hardest during the duet
Actually found out that one translation of “Omori” is “A Weight” and I think that fits nicely for what he’s supposed to resemble in Sunny’s mind. Omori is the weight of Sunny’s actions keeping him from moving forward in life, keeping him in the little world of his where everything was still ok, and eventually keeping him from coming to terms with reality in the bad ending and taking control to make Sunny kill himself. The weight is hostile and unforgiving when Sunny goes down the path to try and accept reality and forgive himself as Mari would want, the weight does everything it can to either hold Sunny back or end it all. And when Sunny perseveres and plays that final duet, Sunny comes to terms with the past and present, and the weight is lifted and accepting. Omori is only there as long as Sunny holds and represses the weight of Mari’s death.
also could be short for hikik -omori
Lol
@@iceypino1086 Or, Mement- *o* *Mori* , as in, a reminder of death. OMORI himself can be considered one, even though he's also trying to violently suppress those memoires.
Omocat confirmed that it meant "Hikkikomori".
It could also roughly translate to "vast forest" with the kanji 大森 , just like the location in headspace
I remember first seeing OMORI's announcement back when I was in middle school. I was so excited to see OMO CAT's artwork in a game. Now I'm a freshman in college. I just finished my 1st playthrough and wow.... Definitely not what I had expected. There's certainly a lot to take in.
Thank you to the OMORI Team!

I've been listening through all of these videos and reading all of your comments along the way. This comment with the music finally made me begin to cry. Everyone has something that they are running from, internal fears and personal traumas. When we are able to share that with others we begin to heal. The year 2020 has been terrible for me, like it has been for many people, and has sowed the seeds of depression in me. I have begun to have crossing thoughts of self-harm and suicide but always immediately shake them out. Like Sunny, I have plenty of friends that have saved me from myself and made me happy.
Thank you for sharing with us Elle, I have really enjoyed your reflections on these videos.

*SPOILERS*
My sister and I have always been a bit different from eachother.
She’s older than me. A bit of a perfectionist, and honestly mean sometimes. But she’s so wonderfully kind when I need it, and past her rude comments she’ll always hold me when I need to cry and she’ll tell me that everything will be okay in the most honest way she can.
She’s more social than me. I’ve never been good at making friends. People in general scare me quite a bit. The idea of talking to someone is terrifying sometimes. I’m quiet, but I get angry easier. I don’t hold expectations as well as she does.
She plays piano. She’s not very good, but she plays. I used to sit with her while she practiced, and I’d laugh when she’d get a note wrong. She wouldn’t be mad- she’d laugh too, and make some stupid joke that would derail practice entirely.
I love my sister. And I hate her sometimes, too. She’s kind and mean and wonderful and terrible. She’s human. She’s a person.
Going through the story of Omori, I did not expect it to get to me. I’ve played and watched plenty of horror games before. While some have scared of affected me more then others, none have made a lasting impact on me.
But Omori was different, I suppose.
Especially this scene.
When I reached this part of the game, I cried. Tears were falling down my face, almost blurring my vision of the screen. I just couldn’t take it. Learning about sunny and mari, about their relationship, about what sunny did... it broke me. Because I could see myself in his place. I understand how he must have felt, I know why he pushed her. It was impulse out of anger. It was an accident.
Seeing sunny and Mari grow up together, seeing sunnys guilt grow, it just brought me back to my sister. The sister I saw so much of Mari reflected in.
I barely slept that night. I just couldn’t stop thinking- about sunny, about mari- about my sister.
I don’t know if I have much else to say. This game was beautiful. I could see myself in sunnys place.
Maybe I’ll try to take up violin. I’m not very musical, but I’d like to be able to play a duet with my sister.
Even if we’re both not very good.
Yess you should! even if you are not perfect with that whats important is trying with your loved one
this comment with the music playing in the background makes me want to cry.
I'm not even trying to be edgy here, I cried reading this bro
Just dont push her out of anger/spite okay?
Or else you'll have years of guilt and nightmares ;)

There may be no better song to possibly define an entire game like this one. Literally every piece of Sunny and Mari was put into this song to make it as beautiful as it is.

What to do when the music play:
Lie down. Try not yo cry. *Cry a lot.*
Roughly 9 years ago, my sister died of cancer.
I was only ten at the times.
I started to slowly realise how little time we had spent together, all the times I wasn't very nice to her, every single one of her smiles and the fact that she still didn't give her first kiss to her boyfriend because she said he wasn't ready yet.
She would be there to comfort me when I needed it, she would always make me feel important and every time I was sad, she would try to make me laugh.
I remember her saying how the tubes that helped her breathe made her sound like a kitty purring.
She's forever gone, I will never heal, but that's not supposed to happen. I am just supposed to live now. Continue living.
Thanks, OMORI. Thanks, OMOCAT.
Healing doesn't necessarily mean the wounds disappear completely. Scars may (and often will) remain. What Sunny's performance does is illustrate the beauty that arises from those wounds and scars. He can't go back to before Mari's death, but he can stand as a testament to the love that never really left him at all. Broken though he might be, he has grown stronger through his acceptance of the truths that have brought him here. In other words, Omori is not merely facing Sunny here... he's facing Hero, Kel, Aubrey, Basil, Mari AND Sunny all at once. Together, as they've always been, as they'll always be.

When the family picture appeared and all of the memories I simply started crying. I was an entire river of tears. Such a beautiful game.
It's been a week after i beat the game and i really need to say this so here we are.
This moment was just painful. i was never very close to my brother, and i feel like it's too late now. I wasn't here for him when he needed it the most because i myself was dealing with some stuff. A bad excuse, i know. I feel like an absolute trash of a sibling.
And the shittiest thing was the fact that we were in the exact same situation once. I fucking pushed my little brother down the fucking stairs in a fit caused by my ocd. And he cracked his skull. It wasn't severe thanks god but I won't ever forgive myself for it.
He's 15 now and I will try to make everything better. Now when our home life is relatively calm. I'll try to make up for everything i didn't do for him and i hopefully one day i will be able to at least bring myself to hug him

@@ubilwilbur4775 the song writers did a good job making the song sound like that considering the context
During the 1890s, Russian physiologist, Ivan Pavlov was researching salivation in dogs in response to being fed. He inserted a small test tube into the cheek of each dog to measure saliva when the dogs were fed (with a powder made from meat). Pavlov predicted the dogs would salivate in response to the food placed in front of them, but he noticed that his dogs would begin to salivate whenever they heard the footsteps of his assistant who was bringing them the food. When Pavlov discovered that any object or event which the dogs learned to associate with food (such as the lab assistant) would trigger the same response, he realized that he had made an important scientific discovery.
“Lmao dumb dogs salivating whenever they hear sounds. I guess this is what really separates intelligent Homo sapiens from...”

You know what I find most tragic about this, what really hits in gutter?
We see her life, full of everything. As if story writes itself with her, future is so bright you can totally picture it yourself without any help.
And then it all stops at 2:00
You can't help yourself but ask "how this can be her fate?".
That crippling dread of young life lost, even in happiest of endings this dread still preserves (this is to me why OMORI ultimately stays and does not succumb) it's indeed a tragedy when even the best outcome possible for story comes with bittersweet aftertaste. I am tipping my hat towards OMOCAT what a story, what a game.
Its been over a month since i finished this game and it still hits hard. No other game has ever done that.

A lot of years passed since I've felt things like what this game gave me. Sure I got sad sometimes but mostly I was just numb to everything. Lots of scenes in this game made me feel things, but never to the point of really moving me.
Then I got to this scene, and this song.
I shed the first tears I had in years. Before that I think I forgot how to even cry. This was truly a beautiful scene, and it helped me in some strange way. Never thought a RPG maker game I picked up on a whim would do that to me.
Thanks for reading this personal little comment of mine. I hope this game means a lot to others like it does to me.
Basil had it the worst in my opinion. He was so gentle and kind. Something like that wouldve been so traumatizing to someone like him
Especially after his one lifeline, sunny, essentially broke his promise and forgot about him.
I think one of the the most interesting parts about this entire story is you know everything Sunny has done is wrong yet you can’t help but understand or justify the decisions he made out of fear.
They definitely hurt Basil the most, and I think that’s why the mission to rescue Basil and make amends hurts so much- because you only want the best to come of the situation before being hit with the brutal realization that it’s not that simple.
And yet, it makes it all the more amazing when this scene happens and you finally are able to repair even just a little of what had been damaged in those four years.

I think it's quite funny that, this entire moment will always be seen the first time, even if spoiled.
Say, you know damn near everything, read every little thing, studied every little thing you can just for the kicks.
This duet is always earned. You have to commit to developing these bonds and hard investment with Aubrey, Kel, Hero, Basil, Sunny, Mari, to really feel this scene the first time.
Its not that it doesn't work without context, its that you have to already be deep in your gut sitting with every bit of hurt and sadness from that encounter with the enemy.
Its not that you'll be unworthy, its because, it's just memories. rose tinted memories with these individuals who are still mourning their friend every day.
And, after that hefty journey of trying to make sense of the flood of memories coming to you, the flood of pain that used to be so distant is here, that pain that eats away at this guilt burdened boy so much, he lost touch with EVERYTHING, not just his friends, his family, his sister, but, the memories that bound them all together, and this little thing called self.
You have to earn those bonds back, to really feel why these rose tinted memories are so important to the boy.
I genuinely cannot think of a game that has made me feel so overwhelmingly sad while giving me a satisfying and happy conclusion, I’ve been thinking about this game nonstop the past few weeks and this is undoubtedly one of my favorite games.

After seeing this scene, I got up to hug and kiss my siblings and tell them I love them. Being the oldest sibling is something I've realized, through this game, is a privilege I would never trade for anything in this world.
Excuse me, sorry if the questions seems a little weird, but could you explain better what you mean with privilege in this case? As the youngest sibling
I know older siblings have it very harsh but I’m actually curious to know what privileges are you talking about. Again, I’m deeply sorry if the question seems uncomfortable
@@papyrusn1fangirl I may be incorrect but as an eldest sibling myself I can say that the privilege is that of watching my younger siblings grow and thrive everyday. I'm proud of them and the people they're becoming. It's a privilege to be a part of their lives, to see them excited about their interests, to be there for them. The privilege is being able to love them.
The little dip at 0:46 hits me so damn hard. What an incredible game. Truly worth the wait.
I didnt cry. I listen to a kazoo cover before I saw the animation. I didn't cry
it wasn't just a game, it was a journey
