now this is a very interesting picture. it has a lot of blurry text that seems rather important...
left is the unaltered image from the website’s gallery, right is both drawn on to code batches of text and ai enhanced to upscale it a little bit.
it’s still a bit hard to read, but i (with the help of a few others from the omori discord server) have managed to decode all of it.
pink/top left 1: “SCENES:”
purple/top middle 1: “Tendrils retreat [or “retract”] when PLAYER nears”
purple 3: “face in doorway”
red/bottom middle 1: “INSTRUMENT ROOM”
red 2: “SFX: DUET W/ NO VIOLIN || WHEN PHOTO IS TAKEN, PIANO KEY SLAMS”
green/middle 1: “SHADOW BASIL’S ROOM”
green 2: “”DON’T WORRY, _. EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY...”
orange/top right 1: “FLIES AROUND DEAD BODY”
orange/right 2: “RECITAL STAGE”
— and now, we get to the real doozy:
blue/bottom left 1: “PANS DOWN TO SHOW MARI’S DEAD BODY UPON ENTRY”
blue 2: “WHEN BOTTOM IS REACHED, REPLACES [or “REPLACED”] WITH PHOTOGRAPH”
overall, these appear to be “ghost hunting” related scenes. the mentions of photographs, especially one being taken in the “instrument room” suggest that its done together with basil. as for “mari’s dead body”... i’m kind of shocked they’d put something like that in the gallery. maybe they didn’t think any of it would be legible? but clearly, every bit has been deciphered now. it is possible that i am reading some of it wrong, but i find it very unlikely. i recognize that the S at the end of “mari’s” sure doesn’t look like one... but, there really isn’t a single other thing i could read this word as that would make sense. otherwise, it looks like “MARÚ”, “MARI’I”, or “MARI’J”. “mari’s” is the only thing it COULD be. the scene in particular seems to suggest that when the player enters the area, her dead body is shown at the bottom of the stairs. but, when you reach the bottom, there is no body, only a photograph. i’m not sure who would have taken this paranormally appearing photograph, but it’s also possible that it could be a family photograph or something of the sort, rather than something basil could have taken. (if basil and omori are together, it’d make little sense that basil left that there.)
however you twist this, it only seems to suggest the “mari is dead” and “mari is a ghost” theories are all but explicitly confirmed in-game at this point... and also, that this game is definitely going to be a lot more scary than previously let on to.
