*Yes.* Legit cried during this part. I wasn’t expecting this music to play, but it did, and immediately struck me in the heart. Hearing this lower pitched version of By Your Side hit hard, because it was ironically fitting. The original song directed it’s title to Sunny/Omori, and how he wants to believe Mari is always by his side, even when she isn’t. Now, we have the inverse, where Sunny and his friends are by Mari’s grave, having a picnic. Therefore, they are by _her_ side.
"Your sister Mari with a bad knee...you couldn't bear for her to die again, so you have her the safety of a picnic blanket. Yet, it is her nature to leave and protect."-OMORI
I usually look at the last photo my family took of my grandmother, since she left us some months ago. I really loved her, she was the nicest person with me all the time. It didn't matter how bad at school i was, how dumb i was at making decisions, and most importantly, how tired she was when i got to her home, she still was there, making me feel better, telling me the important thing here, is me, and telling me how much she cared for me. Everytime i visited her, i used to make her angry by knocking the door several times without lettin' her know it was me. The fact his angry face always turned into a beautifully big smile of joy everytime she saw me, still brings me back warmth to my heart. Today, i looked at her photo again, everytime i do it, the fact that she's not here anymore, someone i got soo used to see, talk, and love, just vanished from my life, hits me like a truck. I didn't even got the chance to say goodbye. It's a peculiar feeling, its almost like fear, sometimes i just can't get over it and start panicking and i have to calm down. But this time, i was listening to this OST, when i saw her photo, i felt in peace, happy to have known such an incredible person, happy to have shown her how much i loved and cared about her, she's not really gone. She's here, by my side, i know she is, i just can't see her.
you're gonna make me cry fam omg Very sorry for your loss and how it's been hurting you, but i'm relieved to hear you're finding your way through everything. It's always gonna sting a little, but I hope that more and more you will continue to find your own peace and comfort in the memories and the ways she lives on that can never be taken away. You seem like such a genuine and thoughtful person, and i know your grandma was blessed to have you by her side. thank you so very much for sharing, please take care, and know that i'm wishing nothing but the best for you ❤️
@@Cougy Hey, that's very nice of you, thank you. It's been hard to overcome of course, but i'm trying my best to accept things as they are. Thanks for reading me.
this gives me the sensation of having a friend. a cheerful friend that is there for me and will keep me company when i need it. but theres also a sad undertone to this song that makes you realize this is not real and you are alone.
I guess this will be today's dose of daily depression. I was too depressed to even cry while playing this game, like how Omori never cries even when he's . Great game...
@@Cougy UwU thank you, I went through some medications and counseling and now I pretty much fully bounced back :3 And the game really helped with that, I never found a game that was so powerful in its portrayal of depression.
@@gingerly1786 oh wow, that's awesome! really, really glad to hear ^^ and yeah, as someone who's been there, I definitely agree. This game is insanely accurate in a lot of ways that took me by surprise, but I'm very glad it exists and I got to experience it. It's like one of those things that I'm sad I related to at one point, but I'm very glad that those experiences allowed me to appreciate everything Omori does that much more.
My friend Timothy Kennedy passed away a few weeks ago. His death made me experience some of the most complex emotions I have ever felt in my life. When his girlfriend messaged me and my friends, and told us he was braindead, I didn't know what to feel. I couldn't cry, be angry, be sad, anything. I felt nothing for a while. He passed away the next morning. A few days after he died I was left in a content, blank state. I repressed my emotions (like Sunny, funny enough). Life decided that it wasn't done hitting me yet, and on the day of his funeral I was kicked out because Timothy's mom (apparently) didn't like me. That's when the anger kicked in, and I was furious. I never got to say goodbye as my best friend, someone who literally saved my life multiple times, was lowered into the dirt and buried. The following weekend, a party was thrown in his honor. Every dumb highschooler was there, including me. We drank, smoked, and did every stupid highschooler thing we could think of. The thing i remember most was first walking into the party and seeing my friend, John, crying his eyes out and claiming Timothy's death was his fault. John blamed himself because he lost Timothy's inhaler a few days before he died (an asthma attack killed him, by the way.) It was the most gut wrenching thing I have ever seen. The song "Lil Kennedy" by Lil peep was playing in the background on a shitty bluetooth speaker. But there was a sweet side to this whole situation. I noticed how everyone just started hugging John and talking to him, calming him down. Everyone was together, everyone was healing with each other. That's when I started to feel emotions again, and I was...happy. I knew that Timothy would've wanted this, to see his friends all together again. The entirety of our High School (which is very small) came together to heal. I'll never forget the image of all of my friends hugging each other, crying, and then promptly getting drunk afterwards. Hug your friends guys, they're harder to make the older you get.
hey, just wanted to say a couple things real quick: 1. I am very sorry for your loss, though I'm glad to see you're processing it all in a healthy way. You're right, friends really are precious and nothing, sadly, can be taken for granted. 2. You might want to strongly consider editing out at least your friend's last name and probably as many other names as possible. While I like to think the best of the kind souls that have shown up to these comments, you really don't know who will end up reading this and I think you might be surprised how easy it would be for them to identify/locate you based on all that information if they wanted to. Thank you for sharing... just please be careful sharing specifics publicly!! 😰
@@Cougy My friends wouldn't mind me naming them but I appreciate the concern haha. Our entire friend group (including TImothy himself) are all pretty fine with making our names public. But if some weirdo decides to, say, find our social medias through this, then I'll delete the comment
Same here. I wish I had a friend group like this when I was younger. I'm just glad I've developed good friendships now though. I'm 18 and really started developing some friendships online at 15..it was a great decision.
When i first played Omori last summer, it was with my best friend (i literally know her since first grade). The art style reminded me of how she would sometimes draw people. She liked it, but then, she left to go somewhere else with her family since we were, as i said, in the middle of summer vacation. A few weeks later, i texted her but didn't get any news (i was about halfway trough the game). Then, she called me, speaking about migraines and going to the hospital. I tried to contact her but she went radio silent for the rest of the vacation. This hit me hard. I was worried that something was happening to her, i started to thing about her every day. She was already struggling with migraines and depression before, it added another layer of stress for me. I decided that, as a symbolic gesture, i would slowly continue Omori for the rest of the vacation, and beat it before the end of it (we were less than like 2 weeks from that) I remember walking trough Memory Lane (the area), seeing all of these scenes that reminded me of my old friend group, and crying a little. Finally, right before heading to the 1st day of school after the vacation, i beat both the good and bad endings. She was right here, perfectly healthy. Apparently she was somewhere where there was no phone data and no wifi, and i had missheard the call (she said she might go to the hospital) Phew... So what's your experience with Omori guys ?
@@oyasumialan611 Thanks a lot ! She is better now, we see eachother pretty much everyday and still love to hang out together as much ! Have a nice day/evening/night :3 Edit : J'ai été checker ton profil et je vois que tu parles français, c'est marrant comme coïncidence ^w^
I used to be Sunny back then,only using Escapism failing all my grades with no ambitions,my parents hated me. And then i played this game and i won't lie to you,this changed me as a whole. It made me realize how Escapism was bad and how i needed to stop daydreaming and after awhile i had huge amount of ambitions and started getting good grades. Id like to thank Omori for being the game to change my life while i can never get rid of the fact that i daydream and that i always end up crawling back into the place of Escapism it had made me a better person,it made me realize that Life isn't so meaningless and unironically turned my pessimistic self into an optimistic one. Thank you Omocat,Omori will always be my favorite game.
i remember crying like crazy in this scene this game came out in the perfect time ever in my life , specially in these covid days , i got infected by it , i already was assuming the worst , so i decided to play this game , it seemed cute and lovely with a good twist i always was locked up in my room when i was infected , so i just spent all my days playing this game , and dude , it legit is one of my favourite experiences of all time , like , legit , i loved EVERY second of this game , yes , it does have its flaws and everything , but still , if it wasn't for this game , those days would be the worst of my life Thank you OMOCAT for creating this masterpiece and releasing around the best time ever
i have covid rn and been deciding to just binge it all :D im a bit sad that the fandom isn’t really around much though. i played the omori route first when i meant to do sunny so now im sad that i basically know nothing and the omori sences lost their meaning
im schizophrenic and ive been spiraling mentally for a while now. ive been having episodes back to back, hallucinations 24/7, to the point i cant go outside anymore. ive been in my house for days now, i can barely take the trash out or go in car rides without feeling like im gomna have a panic attack. i only look at the ground, or general area downwards because i cant look around me without being paralyzed with fear. i forgot what the sky looks like and what the night sky feels like. the walls of my house watch me and talk to me when no one's here. I'm losing sense of reality bit by bit and im losing myself day by day. this song has been keeping me somewhat grounded in this safe haven in my mind. i feel a child-like peace and comfort in my disturbed mind and warped reality. i feel i can breathe for once without feeling utter paranoia in me. im seeing myself when i was young, maybe 7 seeing how innocent my hallucinative world was. i see myself when i was 13/14 when reality shattered to some pieces and nothing was real. feeling limbo. here i am, 18, experiencing a reality that isnt even real. i feel like im experiencing a combination to both young and teen worlds thats somewhat comforting but eerie when my mind creeps in. im glad this song exist, its calming. reminds me of chocolate milk while swinging on some swing sets.
damn, well I'm very sorry to hear you're going through it like that. I'm sure you've sought treatment, but on the off chance you haven't I'm obligated to highly encourage it, whether therapy or a medication regimen. It's genuinely very helpful, though again, I'm sure you know that and this is just how it is sometimes. I'm glad this song can be an anchor and a comfort to you. Wishing you the best, and I hope things get better for you soon ❤️
So Omori did really kinda traumatized me but i also find that game really comforting It was in April i guess. I asked moms friend to help me download Omori and that evening i played i bit “Nothing really special i guess” but then it turn out very fun. Ive played it almost everyday even if it were time to go sleep I remember laughing at Maris and Heros faces, my joy when i found Hector, the good ending, and the last picnic of course Now its just a dear memory, but i was thinking to play again And the memes with vines on youtube that i watched everyday, they were so funny haha Have a good day, evening or what ever time you are reading this dear traveller
This song has helped me through so much honestly Ive been dealing with alot of shit this year and whenever i feel like its not worth trying anymore put this on, and it calms me down. I'm not sure how much more i can handle but this masterpiece just resonates with me so much that though my pain remains ill carry on Thank you for this, its helped me more than you could imagine.
Sorry to hear what you've been going through, but I'm glad this music has helped you and you've been able to keep fighting. Keep at it; it's cliche, but time really does heal all if you can stick with it. hoping things get better for you soon!!
@ikerrad2804 Better nowadays! Definitely matured over the years and i'm feeling more motivated to do things. Still have alot of bumps but i think i'll be okay in the end. Thanks for checking up on me 💜
I don't know too much about Omori, but this music hits home in some way I can't describe. It's so melancholic yet the more I listen to it it becomes hopeful in some weird way? Like a hopeful longing for more happiness in the future after loss. It also has a very delicate feel to it. But then again, I don't know the exact events in the game, just listing off my impressions because I quite like this music haha
huh, that's such an interesting reading tbh! cool to see a perspective of just the music that doesn't have the full context of the scene/story and whatnot, and i think you picked up on some things about the song that make sense in context but I might not have thought about with the burden of just knowing everything about the game. thanks for sharing! ^^
@@Cougy No problem! Honestly I'm also a bit curious as to how my views will change after knowing the full context haha (^ ^;;) Planning to sit down and watch a whole playthrough sometime (ovo) (Also sorry for random late reply, don't check YT notifications much.)
It feels like looking back at the remains and memories of a friendship after it's split. Looking back and remembering what was. You remember being happy it happened, but it's still gone. You don't regret it, but you wish you could redo it. You just wish everyone was still by your side.
Shit, this just happened to me 3 days ago, I split due to my jealousy, in the end, I've lost someone dear to me, with my feelings that will never be returned. Though, it feels bittersweet. I look back to our chats, us to our usual chaos and greeting each other everyday when we wake up, I wish I could redo it, but I'm forced to move on.
I can relate. I had an online friend named Moss back in april. We did so much together and we were mutually the best of friends. But some little things here and there that hurt really bad built up and I blew up on her. Cut off all contact with her and her friends, burned out cute minecraft server(after we split). I do regret doing some things i did. some are still unclear to me whether i was in the right or wrong. Either way I've grieved hard and I feel infinitely better now. Definitely not done grieving, but I'm proud of myself for growing from my mistakes and carrying the lessons i got from that friendship into other friendships. I've really been suppressing this terrible memory but I don't know if I'm grieving too long or not, since april it's been eight months. My biggest fear is not getting over her completely in the next year. Anyways sorry for ranting, I hope you find closure.
@@ki2348 So sorry to hear. It really sucks hearing how it goes, and how fast some friendships and such can fall so fast under misunderstandings and other emotions we have not tended to or irrational ones we felt for the first time. Regret is natural, knowing who did the damage or the most damage is a little abit out of the question, we can't truly find our answers that way. My friend is running both a terraria and a minecraft server with her group of friends and that sucks. But still, stay strong man. I'm still grieving over my friend too!, Life's too short to be spent over thinking about those moments again, and again. I hope you'll find some semblance of peace.
@@Blind_Obsession thanks for the kind words, looking back ive firmly decided in the end i ended up cutting her out of my life which was VERY necessary, and even though i still think about her here and there I feel so much better without her in my life.
A few months ago, I found this song and despite having never played the game I felt a kind of grief that I couldn't really understand how to feel but felt anyway. It felt melancholy and longing, but for someone who hadn't felt that in a long, long time. Yesterday, my cat died. She was the closest friend I've ever had, and I've been crying since the day I found out she was sick. I miss her, and I miss everything about her. She was the light of my life, and I'm thankful for every second I got to spend with her. I love you Angel, I miss you, and I still wish you were here By My Side.
i've had the same situation like 2 or 3 months ago. he had some sort of cancer and we could do nothing, i could do nothing but try and comfort his and be depressed about it, now i barely laugh or smile / change my expression. his death has broken me fully.
when i found out that having a picnic with everyone at mari's grave was an option i actually started sobbing, in part because the moment is so deeply touching and in part because when i played omori the first time, i didn't even think to visit her.
"Look at all of us, These are our old memories... They're a little bit sad now, but we should be glad that they happened at all.... Let's make some new memories, okay?"
both this song and the game itself are dark and sad, but it all feels so comforting to me? i guess the knowledge that it is possible to heal from something so horrible makes even the painful parts nostalgic i dunno
“If I keep my body moving, and my mind occupied at all times, I can avoid falling into a bottomless pit of despair.” I know this is usually considered as a joke quote, but it’s genuinely how I’ve been feeling. Think about academics, your favorite book, the upcoming event that you have to go to, and you can pretend that everything’s fine. You can feel like you never lost anything, like you never experienced loss and grief and rage for the first time, that you were never forced to leave some of the best friends in the world and you don’t know if you can go back, that everything was okay… I miss them so, so much. I miss my grandmother, I miss my friends, I miss the way things used to be before I was so lazy and selfish that I had an F in one of my classes until the last moment. And I want to go back to when everything was beautiful and you didn’t worry about the next quiz or how behind you are or how good you could ever be. They’re not gone, though. They are still there, and maybe they are by my side. This feels like a haven. A safe space, and maybe things will be alright. Thanks.
Just wanted to say this was so well put, so thank you for sharing this. Sorry to hear of your loss and hardships, but definitely keep pushing. Things get better - sometimes slowly, and other times it'll sneak up on you. But as long as you keep doing what you gotta to keep yourself together and healthy, that's all anyone can ask, and peace will find you eventually. And for that matter, don't be so hard on yourself! "Lazy" and "selfish" are labels we tend to assign to other people because we don't know their circumstances. But most people who get labeled as such are hurting in their own way. I did the same thing with some of my classes while I was in school, and I called myself lazy at the time because it was a lot easier than admitting even to myself I was depressed. But whatever anyone would call it then, looking back I don't beat myself up for letting things slip even a little; only for ignoring my feelings/not taking them seriously enough and ending up in that mental state in the first place. (That may not apply to you at ALL, I really don't know your circumstances, but I thought I'd share. Everything is a matter of perspective, and it always pays to be a little kinder to yourself.) Take care, and I'm wishing you all the best. ^^
I miss my cat, she was the sweetest girl who would jump when she rubbed against us, I miss her so much and knowing I'll never see her again is such a sad thing.
I need this music playing at every minimally sad or lonely moment in my life. I need it, it has to be there. I want it so much that it almost hurts. …please, please let me stay here forever. I don’t want to- it’s too much for me. I’ll be fine. Moving on is a part of life. Such curious little creatures we are, making a fuss about every little thing just to someday leave it behind. It was fun though… it was really fun. What the f%ck is this song doing to me.
saddest moment in the game for me was seeing mari and hero's photos in album. i genuinely started tearing up. i haven't been this sad in games at all until this moment
i just,, remembered my friend passed away 2 months ago and idk ive been trying to move on like it doesnt affect me but it really does, every day it does, but i feel like i have to move on already, like ive wasted too much time stuck in one place cause even when things seem frozen all of a sudden for me, life is still going on and i dont want to fall behind. ive been doing better these days but when i come across things like this and i see people talking about playing this game or having their friends play it i think about how i told her to play this game after i had played it and i think this was one of the last things we enjoyed together. She absolutely loved this game just as i did and now its really upsetting that i wont get to just gush about our favorite tracks and our favorite parts anymore or send links to memes or songs from the ost we've listened to a thousand times already. it just kinda hit me all over again, neither of us were never really in the right mental state even before we played this game, but we both loved this game and everything it stands for. i always thought she'd stay, some selfish part of me thought i was enough for her to stay. i guess i just never thought she would do it.
Wow, I am so, so sorry. That is a heavy burden, and while I get the pressure to move on, I want to say that you shouldn't feel bad about taking the time to process everything and start healing. Obviously I don't know your whole situation, and I know you said you're (thankfully) doing generally better now, but that's still a lot to go through. Hopefully one day, Omori and all its media will be something special you can look back on and remember the good times. But until then, please take care of yourself, okay? Wishing you all the best.
@@Cougy Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words and wishes. Videos like yours really help me look back on those memories with fondness, so thank you again.
This game, this song and especially the moment this version is referencing made me realize just how much I legit missed her as well. She is a fictional character but I felt genuine grief, the realisation that you really lost someone forever. It reminded me just how much I loved and miss the people I've lost. How I try not to think about it but knowing it will creep up and hit me like a truck at some point. It made me realize how much I loved them, the way Sunny and his friends loved Mari. I connected on an unreal personal level with these characters in that moment. I still use this song to help me let out these feelings that I tend to lock away way too much.
this song, while it plays at during the graveyard picnic, broke my heart. i can’t find words to describe it. i visit my now deceased girlfriend’s grave occasionally, and have picnics of my own out there. i think that was why i reacted so strongly to this scene. no one spoke, they just appreciated each other’s presence and basked in the glow of the afternoon sun, reminiscing about distant memories. i do the same, thinking about all the stuff we used to do when we were kids, eating huckleberries at the gazebo and trying on each other’s clothes and our mom’s makeup and perfume, staying up at night talking and studying together, all the while talking about everything and nothing. this song brings up so many bittersweet memories due to having a simple connection to having picnics with those who are gone, and i wouldn’t have it any other way.
This reminds me of my cat, she passed away a few months ago. I miss her dearly but, she makes me think of MARI. She was always there when you needed her, and listened to your problems.
I remember consciously feeling warm and happy whenever I encountered Mari's picnic spots. I loved her personality and dialogue. When I found out she was long dead I went into a mini denial. Two things ripped my heart the most: 1. The picture of mari and hero holding each other's faces and smiling :( he loved her so much 2. At the graveyard. The last picnic with Mari. I started sobbing listening to this song play.
i found this scene on a second playthrough of the main route, prior to this i hadn't cried in ~4 years and was trying constantly to do so, even final duet didn't manage to make me cry on my first playthrough when this scene started and the music started playing i just couldn't stop crying, watching the friend group have a picnic in front of mari's grave after apologizing to her for not visiting sooner just broke me favorite game 10/10
Reading the amount of comments that there are and the experiences that each of you have lived, it has made me realize that I have never experienced something like losing a loved one or someone really close, however... I can't help but feel bad or guilty for it. This song conveys different feelings to me, including happiness and sadness. I feel that it is not possible to express with simple words how I feel listening to and reading the comments, I hope everyone is well and has found tranquility in their hearts. I apologize for expressing myself so badly, it's a bit complicated ^^u Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Somehow everytim I hear this song I used to have the feeling of missing someone important...but..I don't know who.. It feels like I miss a person who never existed, a faceless person, I have no memories from the person, either, but still miss them.. Man, that's depressing... But thank you so much for uploading such a kind of nostalgic version of this song! You did a great job, thank youu again!
This song reminds me of my dog. I remember he was about nine weeks old when we got him. He was so small!! I remember holding him for the first time when my sister and father brought him home. My siblings took turns holding him. He was technically my younger brother's dog, but as soon as my sister sat him down on my lap I remember this overwhelming feeling of warmth and just being taken aback. I don't know how to explain it, but I knew that memory would stick with me for the rest of my life. It feels like ages ago, but it was just last year. Not too long after, I started playing Omori. I loved the soundtrack to bits, and there was this spot on the stairs on our front yard that I liked to sit on when I took the puppy outside. Sometimes we would just sit there. He would be relaxing in the grass and I would listen to By your side. There would be a little warm breeze in our quiet neighbourhood. I would just relax and breath, taking everything in. It was amazing, it felt like heaven on Earth. Even better, sometimes we'd go to the park up until sunset. I have a video I like rewatching of us relaxing as the sun set. We had a bench we would always go to. He made my summer so much more beautiful. I would listen to different songs on that bench, but By your side always seems to remind me of him the most. It sounds like summer. It takes me back to a simpler time. During online school in the early mornings I would share some of my breakfast with him and sit him down beside me. He would lick my tears away and cuddle up to me when I was having a hard time. Eventually things got difficult. The harsh truth hit us. We just weren't ready for a dog. He was hard to train and we were all very busy. Winter would be a challenge and none of us would be able to give him the attention and care he needs. We had to rehome him. I remember blocking off my feelings. I remember looking at the empty spot where his bed used to be. I remember sitting on the steps in front of my house alone. I stopped going to the park, summer was coming to an end anyway. Of course all of this was very subtle, at first I was fine with him not being around, but one day I was scrolling through old pictures. So many pictures of him. He grew up so much within those seven or so months. For the first time in a while I started crying, and he wasn't there to lick my tears away or for me to hug, but I was okay with it. I was happy I got to meet him and take care of him. When I hear this song play in my earphones on my way home, the memories wash over me and I smile. "I wonder how the little guy is doing..I hope he's happier!" "What a good boy, he deserved so much better, I'm glad he's getting the attention he deserves!" These days I'm so busy worrying, busy with friends, school, clubs and thinking about my future. I always feel so overwhelmed. I wish I could relax like I did when he was around, but until the summer, listening to this song will calm me, and remind me of how lucky I am to be here today.
this was so beautifully written, really conveyed all of your emotions im thinking of getting a pet as well, though we may not be ready, ill do my best to take care of them, no matter what it takes
@@lakshyapatel3842 I know I'm late but I hope you have one or at least will eventually. Animals are beautiful, and pets are such a joy to have. Thank you for your kindness, and I'm sure you'll be great to your new friend. I hope your bond grows strong, and that you always feel loved, knowing you have someone to come home to in the midst of all the chaos your days may bring.
I started listening to this song because this new friend I made was listening to it and said that I should listen to it (we both finished the game)... I didn't remember how the song sounded rigorously despite watching the graveyard cutscene. So I played it and started listening to the small nuances in the song and MY GOD... This song made me feel things. The peaceful deep tone of the song in conjunction with the nuance made me feel as if I finally managed to find some peace in life; the same peace and joy that came from discovering that aforementioned new friend (the only one I really have right now in real life). It made it feel as if all of the pain I'd suffered up until this very night was going to slowly diminish and that life is finally going to start leaning in my favour (since it has felt like life was slowly ending for me and compressing me into the thickness of aluminum foil as the world moves on without me). It also doesn't help that I've been dealing with depression and crippling loneliness in my dorm room, since my roommate has inexplicably left. So, of course, this song combined with finding a new friend who was a good role model and had the same common interests as I have, it really made my day. I can now hold this song in high regards and call it a special foot note in my life along with this message that I'm oddly sending to the UA-cam comment section.
This game is extremely important to me, it came out just a bit after my mother died of cancer, She died in May 2020 and I didn't cry, I just sat there in silence in my room, wondering whether to cry or not as my little cousin hugged me after he told me mom passed away as my aunt was talking to me but I could barely make out anything, I felt at that moment I was in a lone room, a white room. I was so shocked... 27 years of my whole life with my mom, sure she wasn't a perfect parent but she was my best friend and I felt a big piece of myself died alongside with her. Sure my family give me the happy moments that year even with the pandemic going on but I still felt so lost and alone. Then I came across this game on twitter around after Christmas and after seeing NitroRad's review on it, I decided to give it a shot and well, rest is history. I felt so empty after completing the game in a good way of course, I went for the good ending and dude I cried, I cried so much my head hurts. I don't know why, but it felt like a big wave of grief just washed over me, for Mari (My most favorite character) and my mom. I've been a huge fan of Omori ever since because it give me tools on how to handle grief of a main family member from here on out and I have friends I could count on, my family too. I have experience grief many times but not to an extent on what I'm dealing now coping with my mother's untimely death, which is the very fact I'll never truly get over until the day I die. Honestly, I felt my mother gave me one final gift and I just so happened to come across it like fate. I'm turning 30 years old in April and I hope my mother is proud of how I'm faring now, even if I had dark moments. I miss you mom 💔 1967 - 2020
It is a letter from Hero to Mari, do you want to read it? Yes< No Dear Mari, I don't even really know why I am here, writing this, since you are long gone... It has been hard to go on without you, every time I look in the mirror I remember that day, that tragic day... You and Sunny were going to play the recital and you did... that. That image has never left my mind, I blame myself every day, I could have avoided it... But I was irresponsible, if I had known... The rest of the sheet is torn. (Sorry for my bad english-)
I think I lost my social life since I was a kid. My friends got away because they got different paths, my cousins are not here and I am too shy to be with other people that are not my online friends and a gf I got but she had to go to another state. This week has been a little hard because my mom's health problems, my gf getting a pretty hard stressful moment, final exams and a reflexive moment about my social and my own life, uh.
when I was in grade 11, i was faced with something horrifying that threatened to take everything i held dear away. my whole life. thankfully when I thought my whole life was ending, and I considered doing something stupid.. my best friend came and saved me. he messaged me and made sure i was okay. and it saved my life. days after we hung out for the first time in years. it was amazing, and we did a lot of fun things. when I left we hugged and promised to do it again soon... only.. days after he stopped messaging, stopped trying to keep in contact. I desperately tried to get a connection and try to get through to him, but nothing worked. i thought first that maybe he just couldn't talk, but a week passed and nothing. I thought "maybe he really can't see my messages?" And well, he left me on read several times. sadly, I had to come to terms with the fact that he was gone. it's been hard. but this song reminds me that the good parts live on with me, even if he isn't around. even if I feel down, i still have the good times to cheer me up.
This is the area Relaxing, soothing and chilling Coming and casually dropping some thoughts and words in the comments about how we used to love those simpler times the friends we made the dreams we had, Those were the simpler times no worries, tensions and pressure of the future These thoughts come into my mind, while listening to this and reading the comments, this is easily one of the most comfortable places on the internet. While listening, I just wish I could become younger once more, talk to friends whom I have not heard of in years, re-enjoy those moments with my family... talk to those whom I can never now. I just wanted to say, thank you for making this video, for making many feel better. Everything is going to be okay, all those you love, are always by your side. Have a good time :)
“ You can’t always re-live a memory, Or you’ll forget what’s right in front of you, Let’s make new memories and make the most of your life, Alright, *Sunny?* “ Mari said sweetly as she held her hand out, leading you to a white shiny door. You teared up and gave one last hug to Mari. You walked to the door, This time not looking back, You had accepted what has happened and what will happen. You heard a song play as everything became a bright white light. *You woke up at the hospital.*
It's a sad song...but it's still comforting in an odd way. It's like the final stage of grief...acceptance. It happened. That certain SOMETHING doesn't really bother me anymore... Gosh I love this game-
This song, Slowed like this. Just this song, or Becalmed from sea of thieves It reminds me of a friend a friend who's slowly drifting apart after what feels like 5 years now. I hope I can rekindle our special bond that we had One main problem is that he's around toxic people. I just... He's like a son to me. I don't want to loose him Not another person.
wow, I've never heard Becalmed before but that was very moving. life can be... very confusing with how even close friends can just drift in and out of our reach like that sometimes. it's definitely rough, especially when they mean as much as it seems this person does to you. Sincerely, I hope you're able to get through to him and reconnect soon.
@@Cougy Thank you, you don't know how much that means to me. I often feel like I sometimes am the toxic one in this situation but i can't really go to a councler because I don't know how to describe everything. And ever since i found out about omori, I was strangely connected to sunny if that makes sense, like. i knew what he was feeling as if i was in his shoes. And i have kinda been putting sunny's repression into action with me. I know that just sounds like an r/im14andthisisdeep moment, but. I never found out why i do it (I guess out of fanboyism?) and i never liked being edgy. Sorry for the long reply
@@hospitalgaming0280 first of all, long reply is fine! don't worry 😅 i don't know your situation, so the best i can say regarding your concerns about your friend is that it is at least good that you're being thoughtful, and I'm sure that if you are thorough about that thoughtfulness and consider his position in addition to your own, then you probably shouldn't doubt yourself. in general though, if therapy/counseling is something you're interested in and you have the opportunity, i wouldn't let not knowing how to fully express your feelings hold you back. That's part of what they're there to help you with! and in general, i do recommend it - therapy is legitimately helpful and heaven knows like the entirety of the Omori community needs it LOL but for real though, if you're struggling with that kind of thing, and especially if you find Sunny relatable, don't be afraid to get help. And please trust that that's not coming from a place of judgment - I definitely have areas where I relate as well, but it shouldn't have to be that way. Anyway, therapy-shilling aside, ill say again that i really do hope this all works out for the best for you!! ^^ take care
Reading the comments makes me so thankful that I really do have friends that care about me and my well being. I hope they know how much I love and cherish them. They have gotten me through so much I don't even know how to repay them. Thank you for being there!
This game tears me apart in so many ways. And yet, I feel like this game helps build me back up again and keep going. I'll forever be frustrated that I missed this scene in my first playthrough of the game.
I’ve never seen or played Omori, but like the music always gets me and makes me think. I often think back to my old friends. The ones I used to hang out with, the ones that used to know me. But, the more we grew up, the more we separated. We have our own, new friends now. We don’t talk much anymore. But, I’ll always know, that deep down, I still love them. No matter what. I have new friends. They have new friends. Sometimes I feel sad by the fact that these people that I used to care about so much now ignore my texts. Their calls lead straight to voicemail. Sometimes, I feel happy knowing that they know what they want to do and who they want to hang out with. We went to church camps, pools, and campgrounds all the time in the summer. I’d go over to their house in the winter, and sit in front of their fireplace while we played roblox and laugh at all of the crazy things we could find. We would sometimes have sleepovers, and draw together. Whenever I see or feel those familiar places, I can’t help but remember those happy times when I was younger, and happier. It’s ok to lose people. I’ve lost so many, whether it be because of my stupid mistakes, or that time caught up with us. Don’t ever forget those happy memories you make with your family, your friends, even complete strangers. Even when the world is slowly dying, dig deeper. Find, or even give the happiness that this world desperately needs. I was always told to cherish my childhood, and make the happiest memories, because you never know what’s coming next. I was always told to give love and kindness to people, because you never know when you may need them. Most of all, don’t forget those past memories. I may still be a child, but I sometimes like to go back and remember the smell of the wicker baskets full of toys, the sounds of my favorite TV shows, and the feeling of my parents’ hugs. Don’t forget. Update: hi! It’s me, a year later. I’m 14 now, and lots have happened. Between an autism diagnosis and crazy friend drama, I think I’ve grown a lot, and I think I’ve made the closest friends I could ever have these past few months. I started dating my best friend not too long ago, and I bonded with another close friend of mine. Friends come and go, but remember, don’t forget. Memories will be with you always, whether in your brain or in your heart. Always, someone loves you. Have a nice day or night, and always try to be positive even when it feels like you can’t “Sometimes you meet a person and you just click-you’re comfortable with them, like you’ve known them your whole life, and you don’t have to pretend to be anyone or anything.”
Update: yesterday, I played Omori. I have never cried so hard in my entire life at a game. It’s extremely beautiful, and heart wrenching. I would recommend this game to anyone, just be wary that if you’re extremely emotional like me, you’re gonna cry your eyes out
I've finished something like 30% of the game. It's been 2 whole months since I opened it. It ripped my heart out, then teared it to shreds and put the dust back in. I feel that I'm not in the correct place in life yet to do it. I also fear that my every decision matters in whether I'll get a good or a bad ending (cannot in any way let that happen or I'll be scarred for life). I hope that one day I'll have enough strength to finish it.
Hey, just wanted to say: definitely take your time and only play this when you're ready. It's heavy, and I honestly did the same thing in my first playthrough. It took me a little more than 4 months to get through everything, and I'm glad I took the time I needed. At the same time, don't stress too much about endings and whatnot. I don't want to spoil anything, but I've watched a lot of people play Omori now and normal, intuitive play is really all this game will ever ask. No need to overanalyze, just play when you feel ready and enjoy ^^
Whenever I listen to this song, it projects all my past memories. I choose to look back on some of them, and I find some regretting, or disappointing, or just outright saddening. But I only choose to remember the happier memories and move on with life as usual.
i used to listen to this everyday in 2021, back when i had the bestest friends in the world. we drifted apart and haven’t had contact in quite a while, but i miss them. i miss them so much. hours would fly by like minutes when talking to them. whether it was simply sharing a funny picture or playing an online game together, there was never a dull moment. i still have access to our old group chat, so on particularly lonely nights, i scroll through the messages and reminisce on the fun we had together. we all lived in different parts of the country, so we made plans to meet up one day and live together in a cozy house. we even picked out a specific date. that date is coming up in a month. how i wish we were able to follow through with the plan we made years ago. things have changed and i would give the world to know how they’re doing now. the last messages ever sent to the group chat were long, heartfelt messages from everyone expressing their feelings of love and happiness for one another, promising to never stop being friends. it really is ironic.
as i’m typing this im currently cuddling with my cat. his name is marvin. i remember meeting him as a stray when we recently moved into our new house. his fur was so mangled and matted, but we ended up giving him the home he needed. he was always the most gentle, loving cat out there. and he still is. that was nearly 8 years ago. for over half of those years he’s taken a special liking to me, always wanting to be around me. eventually marvin went from “our cat” to “my cat”. we cuddle like this all the time and yet i can’t help but to have this uncontrollable smile on my face even now. marvins my best friend. i couldn’t ask for anything more
Thank you for this wonderful soundtrack. Truly, this game is created for suffering and depressed people. This is really bad ... To encourage a person with depression to even more suffering only most often greatly harms an already shaky psyche. Although I can't call it bad... After having clinical depression slowly killed my emotions for 10 years, I'm unrealistically happy that I found this game. All those warm smiles and melancholic music help calm my stressed nerves... I lost my best friends a long time ago. Just think about it. I am 18, and I will have to put up with this depression and derealization for another 50 years. Huh... Living for suffering. Suffering for the sake of suffering. Although... Looking at how everyone shares their stories in the comments and support each other... It makes me feel good. Psychological therapy. I would be glad if someone could describe something encouraging to me. This really will help me live at least a couple more days, until it finally kills me ... Anyway, no one will even come to my grave ...
hey friend. i don't have anything super heartwarming to share myself, only things you've definitely heard already but i will say anyway. i was in a bad spot growing up myself, certainly not like yours but also certainly hurting. i had very few friends growing up, and when i was in my teen years my family lost basically everything to a natural disaster (forgive me for not being more specific, just trying not to doxx myself to others that might read). i picked up intense apathy/minor derealization as a coping mechanism, and for a long time afterward i grappled with extremely low motivation and creeping suicidal thoughts - nothing too threatening to my health, i don't want to misrepresent myself, but they were there. it's been 10 years since then for me. i went through a lot of ups and downs, and i still haven't quite kicked some of the feelings, but here's what i learned: if you keep going, you will reach a certain point where you just... find peace. it sounds ridiculous, but i'm dead serious. i hit 24 and my brain just flipped like a switch. a lot of my friends have felt the same - you still have the thoughts, right, it's not like you instantly become a different person; but the edge is gone, and it's not all-consuming like it could get before. the silver lining finds itself and the anxiety is fleeting. obviously this is not the universal experience, but what i found out is that it is way more common than i had expected or had heard about before. basically, what i'm saying is... i can only imagine how you must feel, but you're not in this forever. don't count yourself out so soon. it's okay if you're behind on life, because there's always time to catch up - that's what i had to do, and it took me a long time but i'm stable now and i regret nothing. what's important is taking as much care of your physical health as you can, and otherwise just taking steps whenever you feel able. it's cliche, but even if your heart's not in it, if you fake it enough you really will make it eventually. much love, please take it easy and take care of yourself. i'm glad you've found the game and its music and i hope it brings you comfort.
@@Cougy Wow... That's nice of you. But still, I don't want to change. Change brings new worries. It sounds very stupid and so naive, but nothing will change. Although it's for the best. I just want everything to stay the way it is. This ubiquitous and haunting depression has completely consumed me and always affects my mood, actions and attitudes. It's not that bad. It made me who I am. I'll just stop being me if anything changes. It will just remain my eternal trauma. Still, the human mind is so vulnerable... The worst enemy is yourself.
I declare this comment section an internet-checkpoint! For those who aren't familiar with the consept, basically a comment section full of people venting, usually under a relaxing music video like this, and because everyone does it, its easier to fit in without being weird. I wont be participating. To the people who do this, make sure to not reveal important information about yourself! So yeah i just wanted to explain, Also the consept was first mentioned in "Daryll talks games" if i remember correctly. His video is pretty interesting. Also may i ask to pin this comment maybe???
hiya! didn't want to ignore this bc it's important and very good-natured. I think it's incredible how these comments have developed (and continue to develop) organically, and by pinning something like this i feel like I'd kinda be artificially encouraging people to join in? Like, this space is safe and cool not because I said so, but because it's just a collective phenomenon and I feel like a pin explaining it might spoil the magic a bit. Maybe i'm being weird for that. HOWEVER, you raise a tremendous point and I strongly encourage anyone reading this to pls not dox yourselves. I can't catch everything as soon as it's posted, but fwiw I am personally reviewing all comments here and am committed to making sure the people who have things they want to share stay safe. thank you again for looking out!!
My aunt just died. I miss her so much. It didn’t even hit me right away… I was in shock. But now… knowing that I’ll never see her again… knowing that I won’t see her smile or hear her voice… damn. Her funeral is tomorrow. She watched me grow as a kid and as a person… and now she’s gone. But I know she’s here. By my side….
“Will you have a picnic with Mari?”
I honestly didn't expect that dialogue prompt. Made the scene a lot more impactful to me.
Hell yes!
Please just don't take her away༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽
Yes, please~!
in comparison to the picnic you guys have at the lake, and the dialogue says, "it's not the same" and the picnic basket is blue instead of red
*Yes.*
Legit cried during this part. I wasn’t expecting this music to play, but it did, and immediately struck me in the heart. Hearing this lower pitched version of By Your Side hit hard, because it was ironically fitting. The original song directed it’s title to Sunny/Omori, and how he wants to believe Mari is always by his side, even when she isn’t. Now, we have the inverse, where Sunny and his friends are by Mari’s grave, having a picnic. Therefore, they are by _her_ side.

"Would you like to have a picnic with MARI?"
My whole heart just sunk.
I forgot to save.
nooo so sad
I usually look at the last photo my family took of my grandmother, since she left us some months ago.
I really loved her, she was the nicest person with me all the time.
It didn't matter how bad at school i was, how dumb i was at making decisions, and most importantly, how tired she was when i got to her home, she still was there, making me feel better, telling me the important thing here, is me, and telling me how much she cared for me.
Everytime i visited her, i used to make her angry by knocking the door several times without lettin' her know it was me. The fact his angry face always turned into a beautifully big smile of joy everytime she saw me, still brings me back warmth to my heart.
Today, i looked at her photo again, everytime i do it, the fact that she's not here anymore, someone i got soo used to see, talk, and love, just vanished from my life, hits me like a truck. I didn't even got the chance to say goodbye. It's a peculiar feeling, its almost like fear, sometimes i just can't get over it and start panicking and i have to calm down.
But this time, i was listening to this OST, when i saw her photo, i felt in peace, happy to have known such an incredible person, happy to have shown her how much i loved and cared about her, she's not really gone.
She's here, by my side, i know she is, i just can't see her.
you're gonna make me cry fam omg
Very sorry for your loss and how it's been hurting you, but i'm relieved to hear you're finding your way through everything. It's always gonna sting a little, but I hope that more and more you will continue to find your own peace and comfort in the memories and the ways she lives on that can never be taken away.
You seem like such a genuine and thoughtful person, and i know your grandma was blessed to have you by her side.
thank you so very much for sharing, please take care, and know that i'm wishing nothing but the best for you ❤️
@@Cougy Hey, that's very nice of you, thank you.
It's been hard to overcome of course, but i'm trying my best to accept things as they are.
Thanks for reading me.
Omg, I’m so sorry, but you are really strong! You will always be a winner to your grandma!
I know that she's gone but she is still there, in heaven, waiting for you
I hope you've found peace, I can't imagine losing my grandma, its a scary thing to think one day it will happen
this gives me the sensation of having a friend. a cheerful friend that is there for me and will keep me company when i need it. but theres also a sad undertone to this song that makes you realize this is not real and you are alone.
Hell is empty

I guess this will be today's dose of daily depression.
I was too depressed to even cry while playing this game, like how Omori never cries even when he's .
Great game...
hope you're doing better now!! ;-;
@@Cougy UwU thank you, I went through some medications and counseling and now I pretty much fully bounced back :3
And the game really helped with that, I never found a game that was so powerful in its portrayal of depression.
@@gingerly1786 oh wow, that's awesome! really, really glad to hear ^^
and yeah, as someone who's been there, I definitely agree. This game is insanely accurate in a lot of ways that took me by surprise, but I'm very glad it exists and I got to experience it. It's like one of those things that I'm sad I related to at one point, but I'm very glad that those experiences allowed me to appreciate everything Omori does that much more.
I know the post is a year old. But i want to hear a update about your feelings. How are you doing? :o
This scene just broke my heart...
My friend Timothy Kennedy passed away a few weeks ago. His death made me experience some of the most complex emotions I have ever felt in my life. When his girlfriend messaged me and my friends, and told us he was braindead, I didn't know what to feel. I couldn't cry, be angry, be sad, anything. I felt nothing for a while. He passed away the next morning.
A few days after he died I was left in a content, blank state. I repressed my emotions (like Sunny, funny enough). Life decided that it wasn't done hitting me yet, and on the day of his funeral I was kicked out because Timothy's mom (apparently) didn't like me. That's when the anger kicked in, and I was furious. I never got to say goodbye as my best friend, someone who literally saved my life multiple times, was lowered into the dirt and buried.
The following weekend, a party was thrown in his honor. Every dumb highschooler was there, including me. We drank, smoked, and did every stupid highschooler thing we could think of.
The thing i remember most was first walking into the party and seeing my friend, John, crying his eyes out and claiming Timothy's death was his fault. John blamed himself because he lost Timothy's inhaler a few days before he died (an asthma attack killed him, by the way.) It was the most gut wrenching thing I have ever seen. The song "Lil Kennedy" by Lil peep was playing in the background on a shitty bluetooth speaker.
But there was a sweet side to this whole situation. I noticed how everyone just started hugging John and talking to him, calming him down. Everyone was together, everyone was healing with each other. That's when I started to feel emotions again, and I was...happy. I knew that Timothy would've wanted this, to see his friends all together again. The entirety of our High School (which is very small) came together to heal.
I'll never forget the image of all of my friends hugging each other, crying, and then promptly getting drunk afterwards. Hug your friends guys, they're harder to make the older you get.
hey, just wanted to say a couple things real quick:
1. I am very sorry for your loss, though I'm glad to see you're processing it all in a healthy way. You're right, friends really are precious and nothing, sadly, can be taken for granted.
2. You might want to strongly consider editing out at least your friend's last name and probably as many other names as possible. While I like to think the best of the kind souls that have shown up to these comments, you really don't know who will end up reading this and I think you might be surprised how easy it would be for them to identify/locate you based on all that information if they wanted to.
Thank you for sharing... just please be careful sharing specifics publicly!! 😰
@@Cougy My friends wouldn't mind me naming them but I appreciate the concern haha. Our entire friend group (including TImothy himself) are all pretty fine with making our names public.

it sounds haha funny but omori has genuinely replaced my own memories in some places
Same here. I wish I had a friend group like this when I was younger.
I'm just glad I've developed good friendships now though. I'm 18 and really started developing some friendships online at 15..it was a great decision.
@@AllToastersToastToast same man, same..
Its one of the childhoods I never had
When i first played Omori last summer, it was with my best friend (i literally know her since first grade). The art style reminded me of how she would sometimes draw people. She liked it, but then, she left to go somewhere else with her family since we were, as i said, in the middle of summer vacation.
A few weeks later, i texted her but didn't get any news (i was about halfway trough the game).
Then, she called me, speaking about migraines and going to the hospital. I tried to contact her but she went radio silent for the rest of the vacation.
This hit me hard. I was worried that something was happening to her, i started to thing about her every day.
She was already struggling with migraines and depression before, it added another layer of stress for me.
I decided that, as a symbolic gesture, i would slowly continue Omori for the rest of the vacation, and beat it before the end of it (we were less than like 2 weeks from that)
I remember walking trough Memory Lane (the area), seeing all of these scenes that reminded me of my old friend group, and crying a little.
Finally, right before heading to the 1st day of school after the vacation, i beat both the good and bad endings.
She was right here, perfectly healthy. Apparently she was somewhere where there was no phone data and no wifi, and i had missheard the call (she said she might go to the hospital)
Phew...
So what's your experience with Omori guys ?
I love your story story, I hope you she's fine and you can make some news wonderful memories !!

the last picnic before the end of the game. it was pretty good, in my opinion
Gonna cry now brb
I used to be Sunny back then,only using Escapism failing all my grades with no ambitions,my parents hated me.
And then i played this game and i won't lie to you,this changed me as a whole. It made me realize how Escapism was bad and how i needed to stop daydreaming and after awhile i had huge amount of ambitions and started getting good grades.
Id like to thank Omori for being the game to change my life while i can never get rid of the fact that i daydream and that i always end up crawling back into the place of Escapism it had made me a better person,it made me realize that Life isn't so meaningless and unironically turned my pessimistic self into an optimistic one.
Thank you Omocat,Omori will always be my favorite game.
i remember crying like crazy in this scene
this game came out in the perfect time ever in my life , specially in these covid days , i got infected by it , i already was assuming the worst , so i decided to play this game , it seemed cute and lovely with a good twist
i always was locked up in my room when i was infected , so i just spent all my days playing this game , and dude , it legit is one of my favourite experiences of all time , like , legit , i loved EVERY second of this game , yes , it does have its flaws and everything , but still , if it wasn't for this game , those days would be the worst of my life

I'm losing sense of reality bit by bit and im losing myself day by day. this song has been keeping me somewhat grounded in this safe haven in my mind. i feel a child-like peace and comfort in my disturbed mind and warped reality. i feel i can breathe for once without feeling utter paranoia in me. im seeing myself when i was young, maybe 7 seeing how innocent my hallucinative world was. i see myself when i was 13/14 when reality shattered to some pieces and nothing was real. feeling limbo. here i am, 18, experiencing a reality that isnt even real. i feel like im experiencing a combination to both young and teen worlds thats somewhat comforting but eerie when my mind creeps in. im glad this song exist, its calming. reminds me of chocolate milk while swinging on some swing sets.
damn, well I'm very sorry to hear you're going through it like that. I'm sure you've sought treatment, but on the off chance you haven't I'm obligated to highly encourage it, whether therapy or a medication regimen. It's genuinely very helpful, though again, I'm sure you know that and this is just how it is sometimes.
I'm glad this song can be an anchor and a comfort to you. Wishing you the best, and I hope things get better for you soon ❤️
@@Cougy IM SORRY IF THAT WAS A LOT 😭😭😭😭 I really really do appreciate this song and you as a person and yes I actually am getting treatment soon!!
@@trashkingkaktus omg you're all good, i appreciate it but no worries at all!! ❤️
@@Cougy ay bro I hope you have a lovely week!!! Stay awesome bro 😭😭💞💞❤️💕💗😭💗💕💓💞🗿💞❤️😭💕🥺🤙
@@trashkingkaktus hey, it’s been 7 months, are you doing ok? stay strong for me my dude/dudette/whatever the gender neutral version of dude/dudette is
So Omori did really kinda traumatized me but i also find that game really comforting
It was in April i guess. I asked moms friend to help me download Omori and that evening i played i bit
“Nothing really special i guess” but then it turn out very fun. Ive played it almost everyday even if it were time to go sleep
I remember laughing at Maris and Heros faces, my joy when i found Hector, the good ending, and the last picnic of course
Now its just a dear memory, but i was thinking to play again
And the memes with vines on youtube that i watched everyday, they were so funny haha
Have a good day, evening or what ever time you are reading this dear traveller
"Our dearest Mari...the sun shined brighter when she was here"-OMORI
This song has helped me through so much honestly
Ive been dealing with alot of shit this year and whenever i feel like its not worth trying anymore put this on, and it calms me down.
I'm not sure how much more i can handle but this masterpiece just resonates with me so much that though my pain remains ill carry on
Thank you for this, its helped me more than you could imagine.
Sorry to hear what you've been going through, but I'm glad this music has helped you and you've been able to keep fighting. Keep at it; it's cliche, but time really does heal all if you can stick with it.
hoping things get better for you soon!!
@@Cougy thanks alot
"Though my pain remains I'll carry on"
Awfully close to "Good Morning" don't you think? Or was that intentional? Either way stay strong :)
@@TurtleButter Oh my god i didnt even notice that haha
@ikerrad2804 Better nowadays! Definitely matured over the years and i'm feeling more motivated to do things. Still have alot of bumps but i think i'll be okay in the end. Thanks for checking up on me 💜
I don't know too much about Omori, but this music hits home in some way I can't describe.
It's so melancholic yet the more I listen to it it becomes hopeful in some weird way? Like a hopeful longing for more happiness in the future after loss. It also has a very delicate feel to it.
But then again, I don't know the exact events in the game, just listing off my impressions because I quite like this music haha
huh, that's such an interesting reading tbh! cool to see a perspective of just the music that doesn't have the full context of the scene/story and whatnot, and i think you picked up on some things about the song that make sense in context but I might not have thought about with the burden of just knowing everything about the game.
thanks for sharing! ^^
@@Cougy No problem! Honestly I'm also a bit curious as to how my views will change after knowing the full context haha (^ ^;;) Planning to sit down and watch a whole playthrough sometime (ovo)
(Also sorry for random late reply, don't check YT notifications much.)
@lego Thanks for the rec haha (^ ^)
@@jenniferhu6753 So have you tried the game? ^^
Yeah, it definitely gives off many different vibes.
It feels like looking back at the remains and memories of a friendship after it's split. Looking back and remembering what was.
You remember being happy it happened, but it's still gone.
You don't regret it, but you wish you could redo it.
You just wish everyone was still by your side.
D: you said the thing and Im the first to notice it...
Shit, this just happened to me 3 days ago, I split due to my jealousy, in the end, I've lost someone dear to me, with my feelings that will never be returned.
Though, it feels bittersweet. I look back to our chats, us to our usual chaos and greeting each other everyday when we wake up, I wish I could redo it, but I'm forced to move on.
I can relate. I had an online friend named Moss back in april. We did so much together and we were mutually the best of friends. But some little things here and there that hurt really bad built up and I blew up on her. Cut off all contact with her and her friends, burned out cute minecraft server(after we split). I do regret doing some things i did. some are still unclear to me whether i was in the right or wrong. Either way I've grieved hard and I feel infinitely better now. Definitely not done grieving, but I'm proud of myself for growing from my mistakes and carrying the lessons i got from that friendship into other friendships. I've really been suppressing this terrible memory but I don't know if I'm grieving too long or not, since april it's been eight months. My biggest fear is not getting over her completely in the next year. Anyways sorry for ranting, I hope you find closure.
@@ki2348
So sorry to hear. It really sucks hearing how it goes, and how fast some friendships and such can fall so fast under misunderstandings and other emotions we have not tended to or irrational ones we felt for the first time. Regret is natural, knowing who did the damage or the most damage is a little abit out of the question, we can't truly find our answers that way.
My friend is running both a terraria and a minecraft server with her group of friends and that sucks. But still, stay strong man.
I'm still grieving over my friend too!, Life's too short to be spent over thinking about those moments again, and again.
I hope you'll find some semblance of peace.
@@Blind_Obsession thanks for the kind words, looking back ive firmly decided in the end i ended up cutting her out of my life which was VERY necessary, and even though i still think about her here and there I feel so much better without her in my life.
A few months ago, I found this song and despite having never played the game I felt a kind of grief that I couldn't really understand how to feel but felt anyway. It felt melancholy and longing, but for someone who hadn't felt that in a long, long time.
Yesterday, my cat died. She was the closest friend I've ever had, and I've been crying since the day I found out she was sick. I miss her, and I miss everything about her. She was the light of my life, and I'm thankful for every second I got to spend with her. I love you Angel, I miss you, and I still wish you were here By My Side.
i've had the same situation like 2 or 3 months ago. he had some sort of cancer and we could do nothing, i could do nothing but try and comfort his and be depressed about it, now i barely laugh or smile / change my expression. his death has broken me fully.
when i found out that having a picnic with everyone at mari's grave was an option i actually started sobbing, in part because the moment is so deeply touching and in part because when i played omori the first time, i didn't even think to visit her.
My fav OST in the game,heart-touching,nostalgic,good to be the main theme of the game espeacilly in good ending.
Oh hey, funny seeing you here
"Look at all of us, These are our old memories... They're a little bit sad now, but we should be glad that they happened at all....
Let's make some new memories, okay?"
both this song and the game itself are dark and sad, but it all feels so comforting to me? i guess the knowledge that it is possible to heal from something so horrible makes even the painful parts nostalgic i dunno
“If I keep my body moving, and my mind occupied at all times, I can avoid falling into a bottomless pit of despair.”
I know this is usually considered as a joke quote, but it’s genuinely how I’ve been feeling. Think about academics, your favorite book, the upcoming event that you have to go to, and you can pretend that everything’s fine. You can feel like you never lost anything, like you never experienced loss and grief and rage for the first time, that you were never forced to leave some of the best friends in the world and you don’t know if you can go back, that everything was okay…
I miss them so, so much. I miss my grandmother, I miss my friends, I miss the way things used to be before I was so lazy and selfish that I had an F in one of my classes until the last moment. And I want to go back to when everything was beautiful and you didn’t worry about the next quiz or how behind you are or how good you could ever be.
They’re not gone, though. They are still there, and maybe they are by my side.
This feels like a haven. A safe space, and maybe things will be alright.
Thanks.
Just wanted to say this was so well put, so thank you for sharing this. Sorry to hear of your loss and hardships, but definitely keep pushing. Things get better - sometimes slowly, and other times it'll sneak up on you. But as long as you keep doing what you gotta to keep yourself together and healthy, that's all anyone can ask, and peace will find you eventually.
And for that matter, don't be so hard on yourself! "Lazy" and "selfish" are labels we tend to assign to other people because we don't know their circumstances. But most people who get labeled as such are hurting in their own way. I did the same thing with some of my classes while I was in school, and I called myself lazy at the time because it was a lot easier than admitting even to myself I was depressed. But whatever anyone would call it then, looking back I don't beat myself up for letting things slip even a little; only for ignoring my feelings/not taking them seriously enough and ending up in that mental state in the first place.
(That may not apply to you at ALL, I really don't know your circumstances, but I thought I'd share. Everything is a matter of perspective, and it always pays to be a little kinder to yourself.)
Take care, and I'm wishing you all the best. ^^
Strange how just some notes without words can be so emotional, isn't it? T_T
The power of music, my friend ~
I miss my mom I hope one day I will see her again her smile was something so happy and so beautiful
I miss my cat, she was the sweetest girl who would jump when she rubbed against us, I miss her so much and knowing I'll never see her again is such a sad thing.
this song, as well as this whole game, just screams lost childhood
I need this music playing at every minimally sad or lonely moment in my life. I need it, it has to be there. I want it so much that it almost hurts.
…please, please let me stay here forever. I don’t want to- it’s too much for me.
I’ll be fine. Moving on is a part of life. Such curious little creatures we are, making a fuss about every little thing just to someday leave it behind. It was fun though… it was really fun.
What the f%ck is this song doing to me.
You have diagnosed you with “By your Side” addiction.
saddest moment in the game for me was seeing mari and hero's photos in album. i genuinely started tearing up. i haven't been this sad in games at all until this moment
i just,, remembered my friend passed away 2 months ago and idk ive been trying to move on like it doesnt affect me but it really does, every day it does, but i feel like i have to move on already, like ive wasted too much time stuck in one place cause even when things seem frozen all of a sudden for me, life is still going on and i dont want to fall behind. ive been doing better these days but when i come across things like this and i see people talking about playing this game or having their friends play it i think about how i told her to play this game after i had played it and i think this was one of the last things we enjoyed together. She absolutely loved this game just as i did and now its really upsetting that i wont get to just gush about our favorite tracks and our favorite parts anymore or send links to memes or songs from the ost we've listened to a thousand times already.
it just kinda hit me all over again, neither of us were never really in the right mental state even before we played this game, but we both loved this game and everything it stands for. i always thought she'd stay, some selfish part of me thought i was enough for her to stay. i guess i just never thought she would do it.
Wow, I am so, so sorry. That is a heavy burden, and while I get the pressure to move on, I want to say that you shouldn't feel bad about taking the time to process everything and start healing. Obviously I don't know your whole situation, and I know you said you're (thankfully) doing generally better now, but that's still a lot to go through.
Hopefully one day, Omori and all its media will be something special you can look back on and remember the good times. But until then, please take care of yourself, okay?
Wishing you all the best.
@@Cougy Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words and wishes. Videos like yours really help me look back on those memories with fondness, so thank you again.
I wish you the best in your life

This song makes me reflect on my life too much TwT
This game, this song and especially the moment this version is referencing made me realize just how much I legit missed her as well. She is a fictional character but I felt genuine grief, the realisation that you really lost someone forever. It reminded me just how much I loved and miss the people I've lost. How I try not to think about it but knowing it will creep up and hit me like a truck at some point.
It made me realize how much I loved them, the way Sunny and his friends loved Mari. I connected on an unreal personal level with these characters in that moment.
I still use this song to help me let out these feelings that I tend to lock away way too much.
this song, while it plays at during the graveyard picnic, broke my heart. i can’t find words to describe it. i visit my now deceased girlfriend’s grave occasionally, and have picnics of my own out there. i think that was why i reacted so strongly to this scene. no one spoke, they just appreciated each other’s presence and basked in the glow of the afternoon sun, reminiscing about distant memories. i do the same, thinking about all the stuff we used to do when we were kids, eating huckleberries at the gazebo and trying on each other’s clothes and our mom’s makeup and perfume, staying up at night talking and studying together, all the while talking about everything and nothing.
this song brings up so many bittersweet memories due to having a simple connection to having picnics with those who are gone, and i wouldn’t have it any other way.
This reminds me of a friend...
A close friend, who would always be my side and listen, who would be with me no matter what...
A friend I never had...
This reminds me of my cat, she passed away a few months ago. I miss her dearly but, she makes me think of MARI. She was always there when you needed her, and listened to your problems.
I remember consciously feeling warm and happy whenever I encountered Mari's picnic spots. I loved her personality and dialogue. When I found out she was long dead I went into a mini denial. Two things ripped my heart the most:
1. The picture of mari and hero holding each other's faces and smiling :( he loved her so much
2. At the graveyard. The last picnic with Mari. I started sobbing listening to this song play.
i found this scene on a second playthrough of the main route, prior to this i hadn't cried in ~4 years and was trying constantly to do so, even final duet didn't manage to make me cry on my first playthrough
when this scene started and the music started playing i just couldn't stop crying, watching the friend group have a picnic in front of mari's grave after apologizing to her for not visiting sooner just broke me
favorite game 10/10
Reading the amount of comments that there are and the experiences that each of you have lived, it has made me realize that I have never experienced something like losing a loved one or someone really close, however... I can't help but feel bad or guilty for it.
This song conveys different feelings to me, including happiness and sadness.
I feel that it is not possible to express with simple words how I feel listening to and reading the comments, I hope everyone is well and has found tranquility in their hearts.
I apologize for expressing myself so badly, it's a bit complicated ^^u
Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Somehow everytim I hear this song I used to have the feeling of missing someone important...but..I don't know who.. It feels like I miss a person who never existed, a faceless person, I have no memories from the person, either, but still miss them.. Man, that's depressing... But thank you so much for uploading such a kind of nostalgic version of this song! You did a great job, thank youu again!
This song reminds me of my dog. I remember he was about nine weeks old when we got him. He was so small!! I remember holding him for the first time when my sister and father brought him home. My siblings took turns holding him. He was technically my younger brother's dog, but as soon as my sister sat him down on my lap I remember this overwhelming feeling of warmth and just being taken aback. I don't know how to explain it, but I knew that memory would stick with me for the rest of my life. It feels like ages ago, but it was just last year. Not too long after, I started playing Omori. I loved the soundtrack to bits, and there was this spot on the stairs on our front yard that I liked to sit on when I took the puppy outside. Sometimes we would just sit there. He would be relaxing in the grass and I would listen to By your side. There would be a little warm breeze in our quiet neighbourhood. I would just relax and breath, taking everything in. It was amazing, it felt like heaven on Earth. Even better, sometimes we'd go to the park up until sunset. I have a video I like rewatching of us relaxing as the sun set. We had a bench we would always go to. He made my summer so much more beautiful. I would listen to different songs on that bench, but By your side always seems to remind me of him the most. It sounds like summer. It takes me back to a simpler time. During online school in the early mornings I would share some of my breakfast with him and sit him down beside me. He would lick my tears away and cuddle up to me when I was having a hard time. Eventually things got difficult. The harsh truth hit us. We just weren't ready for a dog. He was hard to train and we were all very busy. Winter would be a challenge and none of us would be able to give him the attention and care he needs. We had to rehome him. I remember blocking off my feelings. I remember looking at the empty spot where his bed used to be. I remember sitting on the steps in front of my house alone. I stopped going to the park, summer was coming to an end anyway. Of course all of this was very subtle, at first I was fine with him not being around, but one day I was scrolling through old pictures. So many pictures of him. He grew up so much within those seven or so months. For the first time in a while I started crying, and he wasn't there to lick my tears away or for me to hug, but I was okay with it. I was happy I got to meet him and take care of him. When I hear this song play in my earphones on my way home, the memories wash over me and I smile. "I wonder how the little guy is doing..I hope he's happier!" "What a good boy, he deserved so much better, I'm glad he's getting the attention he deserves!" These days I'm so busy worrying, busy with friends, school, clubs and thinking about my future. I always feel so overwhelmed. I wish I could relax like I did when he was around, but until the summer, listening to this song will calm me, and remind me of how lucky I am to be here today.
this was so beautifully written, really conveyed all of your emotions
im thinking of getting a pet as well, though we may not be ready, ill do my best to take care of them, no matter what it takes
@@lakshyapatel3842 I know I'm late but I hope you have one or at least will eventually. Animals are beautiful, and pets are such a joy to have. Thank you for your kindness, and I'm sure you'll be great to your new friend. I hope your bond grows strong, and that you always feel loved, knowing you have someone to come home to in the midst of all the chaos your days may bring.
It's so incredible that every OMORI music makes me want to cry
I started listening to this song because this new friend I made was listening to it and said that I should listen to it (we both finished the game)... I didn't remember how the song sounded rigorously despite watching the graveyard cutscene. So I played it and started listening to the small nuances in the song and MY GOD... This song made me feel things.
The peaceful deep tone of the song in conjunction with the nuance made me feel as if I finally managed to find some peace in life; the same peace and joy that came from discovering that aforementioned new friend (the only one I really have right now in real life). It made it feel as if all of the pain I'd suffered up until this very night was going to slowly diminish and that life is finally going to start leaning in my favour (since it has felt like life was slowly ending for me and compressing me into the thickness of aluminum foil as the world moves on without me).
It also doesn't help that I've been dealing with depression and crippling loneliness in my dorm room, since my roommate has inexplicably left. So, of course, this song combined with finding a new friend who was a good role model and had the same common interests as I have, it really made my day.
I can now hold this song in high regards and call it a special foot note in my life along with this message that I'm oddly sending to the UA-cam comment section.
OH GOD SOMEONE HELP ME MY EYES ARE LEAKING! **bursts into loud ugly sobs**
This game is extremely important to me, it came out just a bit after my mother died of cancer, She died in May 2020 and I didn't cry, I just sat there in silence in my room, wondering whether to cry or not as my little cousin hugged me after he told me mom passed away as my aunt was talking to me but I could barely make out anything, I felt at that moment I was in a lone room, a white room.
I was so shocked... 27 years of my whole life with my mom, sure she wasn't a perfect parent but she was my best friend and I felt a big piece of myself died alongside with her. Sure my family give me the happy moments that year even with the pandemic going on but I still felt so lost and alone.
Then I came across this game on twitter around after Christmas and after seeing NitroRad's review on it, I decided to give it a shot and well, rest is history. I felt so empty after completing the game in a good way of course, I went for the good ending and dude I cried, I cried so much my head hurts. I don't know why, but it felt like a big wave of grief just washed over me, for Mari (My most favorite character) and my mom. I've been a huge fan of Omori ever since because it give me tools on how to handle grief of a main family member from here on out and I have friends I could count on, my family too. I have experience grief many times but not to an extent on what I'm dealing now coping with my mother's untimely death, which is the very fact I'll never truly get over until the day I die.
Honestly, I felt my mother gave me one final gift and I just so happened to come across it like fate.
I'm turning 30 years old in April and I hope my mother is proud of how I'm faring now, even if I had dark moments.
I miss you mom 💔

It is a letter from Hero to Mari, do you want to read it?
Yes< No
Dear Mari, I don't even really know why I am here, writing this, since you are long gone...
It has been hard to go on without you, every time I look in the mirror I remember that day, that tragic day... You and Sunny were going to play the recital and you did... that.
That image has never left my mind, I blame myself every day, I could have avoided it... But I was irresponsible, if I had known...
The rest of the sheet is torn.
(Sorry for my bad english-)
I think I lost my social life since I was a kid. My friends got away because they got different paths, my cousins are not here and I am too shy to be with other people that are not my online friends and a gf I got but she had to go to another state. This week has been a little hard because my mom's health problems, my gf getting a pretty hard stressful moment, final exams and a reflexive moment about my social and my own life, uh.
when I was in grade 11, i was faced with something horrifying that threatened to take everything i held dear away. my whole life. thankfully when I thought my whole life was ending, and I considered doing something stupid.. my best friend came and saved me. he messaged me and made sure i was okay. and it saved my life. days after we hung out for the first time in years. it was amazing, and we did a lot of fun things. when I left we hugged and promised to do it again soon... only.. days after he stopped messaging, stopped trying to keep in contact. I desperately tried to get a connection and try to get through to him, but nothing worked. i thought first that maybe he just couldn't talk, but a week passed and nothing. I thought "maybe he really can't see my messages?" And well, he left me on read several times. sadly, I had to come to terms with the fact that he was gone. it's been hard. but this song reminds me that the good parts live on with me, even if he isn't around. even if I feel down, i still have the good times to cheer me up.
This is the area
Relaxing, soothing and chilling
Coming and casually dropping some thoughts
and words in the comments
about how we used to love
those simpler times
the friends we made
the dreams we had,
Those were the simpler times
no worries, tensions and pressure
of the future
These thoughts come into my mind, while listening to this and reading the comments, this is easily one of the most comfortable places on the internet.
While listening, I just wish I could become younger once more, talk to friends whom I have not heard of in years, re-enjoy those moments with my family... talk to those whom I can never now.
I just wanted to say, thank you for making this video, for making many feel better. Everything is going to be okay, all those you love, are always by your side.
Have a good time :)
its been months since I played this game, but the songs never fail to make me emotional
“ You can’t always re-live a memory, Or you’ll forget what’s right in front of you,
Let’s make new memories and make the most of your life, Alright, *Sunny?* “ Mari said sweetly as she held her hand out, leading you to a white shiny door.
You teared up and gave one last hug to Mari. You walked to the door, This time not looking back, You had accepted what has happened and what will happen.
You heard a song play as everything became a bright white light.
*You woke up at the hospital.*
It's a sad song...but it's still comforting in an odd way. It's like the final stage of grief...acceptance. It happened. That certain SOMETHING doesn't really bother me anymore... Gosh I love this game-
The sun shined brighter when she was here. More like the Sunny shined brighter when she was here HA.
feels like I lost something important for me
I really like this art picture of sunny standing in a field looking up in the sky specially the music in the background
The art looks like Sunny is standing in the middle of a post nuclear wasteland for some reason
Possibly the saddest part of the game...
If the final boss didn't make you cry, this definitely should.
This song, Slowed like this.
Just this song, or Becalmed from sea of thieves
It reminds me of a friend
a friend who's slowly drifting apart
after what feels like 5 years now.
I hope I can rekindle our special bond that we had
One main problem is that he's around toxic people.
I just...
He's like a son to me.
I don't want to loose him
Not another person.
wow, I've never heard Becalmed before but that was very moving.
life can be... very confusing with how even close friends can just drift in and out of our reach like that sometimes. it's definitely rough, especially when they mean as much as it seems this person does to you.
Sincerely, I hope you're able to get through to him and reconnect soon.
@@Cougy Thank you, you don't know how much that means to me.
I often feel like I sometimes am the toxic one in this situation but i can't really go to a councler because I don't know how to describe everything. And ever since i found out about omori, I was strangely connected to sunny if that makes sense, like. i knew what he was feeling as if i was in his shoes. And i have kinda been putting sunny's repression into action with me. I know that just sounds like an r/im14andthisisdeep moment, but. I never found out why i do it (I guess out of fanboyism?) and i never liked being edgy.
Sorry for the long reply
@@hospitalgaming0280 first of all, long reply is fine! don't worry 😅
i don't know your situation, so the best i can say regarding your concerns about your friend is that it is at least good that you're being thoughtful, and I'm sure that if you are thorough about that thoughtfulness and consider his position in addition to your own, then you probably shouldn't doubt yourself.
in general though, if therapy/counseling is something you're interested in and you have the opportunity, i wouldn't let not knowing how to fully express your feelings hold you back. That's part of what they're there to help you with! and in general, i do recommend it - therapy is legitimately helpful and heaven knows like the entirety of the Omori community needs it LOL
but for real though, if you're struggling with that kind of thing, and especially if you find Sunny relatable, don't be afraid to get help. And please trust that that's not coming from a place of judgment - I definitely have areas where I relate as well, but it shouldn't have to be that way.
Anyway, therapy-shilling aside, ill say again that i really do hope this all works out for the best for you!! ^^ take care
@@Cougy ;-; tysm
B-b-b-b-b-b-b-ba-bas- *koff* aubr-- *uh-* sun--
this might be a big strech but i believe that ''The sun shined brighter when she was here'' could be talking about Sunny
why do you think that? im just kinda curious
Reading the comments makes me so thankful that I really do have friends that care about me and my well being. I hope they know how much I love and cherish them. They have gotten me through so much I don't even know how to repay them.
Thank you for being there!
This game tears me apart in so many ways. And yet, I feel like this game helps build me back up again and keep going.
I'll forever be frustrated that I missed this scene in my first playthrough of the game.
It has a way of making you feel good and bad emotions at the same time. It's such a masterpiece.
Wait

@@sheepie4985 It really does. This game is an _absolute_ masterpiece
@@sheepie4985 oh I didn't realize that. Hello again :D
Ouch.
When that played on the cemetery i just stared at my screen like:
"That hit fcking deep"
idk why but i just feel like the best word to descrive this is gentle
Its comforting
I’ve never seen or played Omori, but like the music always gets me and makes me think.
I often think back to my old friends. The ones I used to hang out with, the ones that used to know me. But, the more we grew up, the more we separated. We have our own, new friends now. We don’t talk much anymore. But, I’ll always know, that deep down, I still love them. No matter what.
I have new friends. They have new friends. Sometimes I feel sad by the fact that these people that I used to care about so much now ignore my texts. Their calls lead straight to voicemail. Sometimes, I feel happy knowing that they know what they want to do and who they want to hang out with.
We went to church camps, pools, and campgrounds all the time in the summer. I’d go over to their house in the winter, and sit in front of their fireplace while we played roblox and laugh at all of the crazy things we could find. We would sometimes have sleepovers, and draw together. Whenever I see or feel those familiar places, I can’t help but remember those happy times when I was younger, and happier.
It’s ok to lose people. I’ve lost so many, whether it be because of my stupid mistakes, or that time caught up with us. Don’t ever forget those happy memories you make with your family, your friends, even complete strangers. Even when the world is slowly dying, dig deeper. Find, or even give the happiness that this world desperately needs.
I was always told to cherish my childhood, and make the happiest memories, because you never know what’s coming next. I was always told to give love and kindness to people, because you never know when you may need them.
Most of all, don’t forget those past memories. I may still be a child, but I sometimes like to go back and remember the smell of the wicker baskets full of toys, the sounds of my favorite TV shows, and the feeling of my parents’ hugs.
Don’t forget.
Update: hi! It’s me, a year later. I’m 14 now, and lots have happened. Between an autism diagnosis and crazy friend drama, I think I’ve grown a lot, and I think I’ve made the closest friends I could ever have these past few months. I started dating my best friend not too long ago, and I bonded with another close friend of mine. Friends come and go, but remember, don’t forget. Memories will be with you always, whether in your brain or in your heart. Always, someone loves you. Have a nice day or night, and always try to be positive even when it feels like you can’t
“Sometimes you meet a person and you just click-you’re comfortable with them, like you’ve known them your whole life, and you don’t have to pretend to be anyone or anything.”
Update: yesterday, I played Omori. I have never cried so hard in my entire life at a game. It’s extremely beautiful, and heart wrenching. I would recommend this game to anyone, just be wary that if you’re extremely emotional like me, you’re gonna cry your eyes out
@@THEOxxx197 i might play it, i heard that the game is very nice and worth it.. ill see if i can!
its nice to come back listening to this. omg the nostalgia hit me like a truck
I've finished something like 30% of the game. It's been 2 whole months since I opened it. It ripped my heart out, then teared it to shreds and put the dust back in. I feel that I'm not in the correct place in life yet to do it. I also fear that my every decision matters in whether I'll get a good or a bad ending (cannot in any way let that happen or I'll be scarred for life). I hope that one day I'll have enough strength to finish it.
Hey, just wanted to say: definitely take your time and only play this when you're ready. It's heavy, and I honestly did the same thing in my first playthrough. It took me a little more than 4 months to get through everything, and I'm glad I took the time I needed. At the same time, don't stress too much about endings and whatnot. I don't want to spoil anything, but I've watched a lot of people play Omori now and normal, intuitive play is really all this game will ever ask. No need to overanalyze, just play when you feel ready and enjoy ^^
@@Cougy ❤️
@@Cougy hey, i finished it last night. Thanks for being by my side.
@@artemefimov8215 omg glad to hear, hope you enjoyed!!
OMOCAT WHY
Maybe the true picnic was the friends we made by (y)our side
This makes me feel so much...man I love Omori
:(
this song will make you optimistic and sad at the same time
Whenever I listen to this song, it projects all my past memories. I choose to look back on some of them, and I find some regretting, or disappointing, or just outright saddening. But I only choose to remember the happier memories and move on with life as usual.
i used to listen to this everyday in 2021, back when i had the bestest friends in the world. we drifted apart and haven’t had contact in quite a while, but i miss them. i miss them so much. hours would fly by like minutes when talking to them. whether it was simply sharing a funny picture or playing an online game together, there was never a dull moment. i still have access to our old group chat, so on particularly lonely nights, i scroll through the messages and reminisce on the fun we had together. we all lived in different parts of the country, so we made plans to meet up one day and live together in a cozy house. we even picked out a specific date. that date is coming up in a month. how i wish we were able to follow through with the plan we made years ago. things have changed and i would give the world to know how they’re doing now.
the last messages ever sent to the group chat were long, heartfelt messages from everyone expressing their feelings of love and happiness for one another, promising to never stop being friends.
it really is ironic.
I woke up today and this was playing in my mind. I guess it got stuck in my head.
I can't fucking believe I missed this on my first play through.
A Song so sad it isn't even in the OST.
It is, this one is just slower
Thanks for the reminder that Mari has died and I shall live in depression due to a fictional character.but I still love the game
This is so calming
i love this song tysm :)
0:53 hits. It just adds a layer of hope into the sadness
This is so calming and smooth that it feels like someone is by my side
dear me this song makes me so sad
as i’m typing this im currently cuddling with my cat. his name is marvin.
i remember meeting him as a stray when we recently moved into our new house. his fur was so mangled and matted, but we ended up giving him the home he needed. he was always the most gentle, loving cat out there. and he still is.
that was nearly 8 years ago. for over half of those years he’s taken a special liking to me, always wanting to be around me. eventually marvin went from “our cat” to “my cat”.
we cuddle like this all the time and yet i can’t help but to have this uncontrollable smile on my face even now. marvins my best friend. i couldn’t ask for anything more
I want this to play at my funeral
I love this cene...
tears. straight tears.
Thank you for this wonderful soundtrack. Truly, this game is created for suffering and depressed people. This is really bad ... To encourage a person with depression to even more suffering only most often greatly harms an already shaky psyche. Although I can't call it bad... After having clinical depression slowly killed my emotions for 10 years, I'm unrealistically happy that I found this game. All those warm smiles and melancholic music help calm my stressed nerves... I lost my best friends a long time ago. Just think about it. I am 18, and I will have to put up with this depression and derealization for another 50 years. Huh... Living for suffering. Suffering for the sake of suffering.
Although... Looking at how everyone shares their stories in the comments and support each other... It makes me feel good. Psychological therapy. I would be glad if someone could describe something encouraging to me. This really will help me live at least a couple more days, until it finally kills me ... Anyway, no one will even come to my grave ...
hey friend. i don't have anything super heartwarming to share myself, only things you've definitely heard already but i will say anyway. i was in a bad spot growing up myself, certainly not like yours but also certainly hurting. i had very few friends growing up, and when i was in my teen years my family lost basically everything to a natural disaster (forgive me for not being more specific, just trying not to doxx myself to others that might read). i picked up intense apathy/minor derealization as a coping mechanism, and for a long time afterward i grappled with extremely low motivation and creeping suicidal thoughts - nothing too threatening to my health, i don't want to misrepresent myself, but they were there.
it's been 10 years since then for me. i went through a lot of ups and downs, and i still haven't quite kicked some of the feelings, but here's what i learned: if you keep going, you will reach a certain point where you just... find peace. it sounds ridiculous, but i'm dead serious. i hit 24 and my brain just flipped like a switch. a lot of my friends have felt the same - you still have the thoughts, right, it's not like you instantly become a different person; but the edge is gone, and it's not all-consuming like it could get before. the silver lining finds itself and the anxiety is fleeting. obviously this is not the universal experience, but what i found out is that it is way more common than i had expected or had heard about before.
basically, what i'm saying is... i can only imagine how you must feel, but you're not in this forever. don't count yourself out so soon. it's okay if you're behind on life, because there's always time to catch up - that's what i had to do, and it took me a long time but i'm stable now and i regret nothing. what's important is taking as much care of your physical health as you can, and otherwise just taking steps whenever you feel able. it's cliche, but even if your heart's not in it, if you fake it enough you really will make it eventually.
much love, please take it easy and take care of yourself. i'm glad you've found the game and its music and i hope it brings you comfort.
@@Cougy Wow... That's nice of you. But still, I don't want to change. Change brings new worries. It sounds very stupid and so naive, but nothing will change. Although it's for the best. I just want everything to stay the way it is. This ubiquitous and haunting depression has completely consumed me and always affects my mood, actions and attitudes. It's not that bad. It made me who I am. I'll just stop being me if anything changes. It will just remain my eternal trauma. Still, the human mind is so vulnerable... The worst enemy is yourself.
this song is my life right now, thanks
I declare this comment section an internet-checkpoint!
For those who aren't familiar with the consept, basically a comment section full of people venting, usually under a relaxing music video like this,
and because everyone does it, its easier to fit in without being weird.
I wont be participating.
To the people who do this, make sure to not reveal important information about yourself!
So yeah i just wanted to explain,
Also the consept was first mentioned in "Daryll talks games" if i remember correctly.
His video is pretty interesting.
Also may i ask to pin this comment maybe???
hiya!
didn't want to ignore this bc it's important and very good-natured. I think it's incredible how these comments have developed (and continue to develop) organically, and by pinning something like this i feel like I'd kinda be artificially encouraging people to join in? Like, this space is safe and cool not because I said so, but because it's just a collective phenomenon and I feel like a pin explaining it might spoil the magic a bit. Maybe i'm being weird for that.
HOWEVER, you raise a tremendous point and I strongly encourage anyone reading this to pls not dox yourselves. I can't catch everything as soon as it's posted, but fwiw I am personally reviewing all comments here and am committed to making sure the people who have things they want to share stay safe.
thank you again for looking out!!
My aunt just died. I miss her so much. It didn’t even hit me right away… I was in shock. But now… knowing that I’ll never see her again… knowing that I won’t see her smile or hear her voice… damn. Her funeral is tomorrow. She watched me grow as a kid and as a person… and now she’s gone. But I know she’s here. By my side….
even tho this is official picture. having the very tall hospital in background highlighted in the pic makes everything eerie
Listening to this and dozing off all of a sudden 16.5 minutes have gone by! I love this game so much.
I love that song and it's comfortable for me.
Every day i listening to it and it comfort my heart in this song.
This song is very great.
When the picnic scene happened in the graveyard I fucking broke down. Uncontrollably sobbing for 5 minutes.
this feels so nostalgic it's making me think about my future
...my, my. how this'll make me calm...and sad, for possibly ages...
