#omori speculation

hey some dots just connected and now I’m really sad. What do you mean Kel is like a cactus because “they don’t require a lot of care” and then in the real world he’s incredibly neglected by his family. hey. what the fuck. :((

I think an Omori 2 staring Basil would fall into the same trap as Subnautica (2) below zero.

Subnautica Below Zero is an awesome game! IF it would have been the first. It is literally smaller in map size and less scarier in nearly every way.

An Omori 2 might find itself in the shadow of the Original, in many aspects.

Omori 2, if it even comes to exist (hope not), might honestly ruin the franchise as a whole. Although the team seems to be milking what they can, with merch and the manga, so it's still relatively popular.

I can see, what, a few functional (?) possibilies:

Your Basil idea could work. I wouldn't trust it unless all assets were completely rewritten, and everything was entirely changed, because if not, it demonstrates a very poor understanding of trauma. I can't really stand people who try to give Basil or anyone else a White Space, it just misses the point of representing dissociation and repression. Different characters value different things, and their trauma manifests differently. Even as minor things as people assuming Basil can actually see Sunny's Something and isn't viewing a different hallucination are incredibly and dangerously damaging.

A potential Mari AU might work, but it would have the same problem. It would also need to have better twists or other convoluted, since the original game's twist was so central to its current fandom.

I really hope that Omori 2 never exists, genuinely. As much as I love the original game, its irreplaceability is key to its charm.

I probably need to go either to the planks floating on the water or to the upside down area to get to the R key. It looks like there’s a latter going down, so I would need to access another area first.

The upside down area looks ominous. If I’ve le earned anything from this kind of game, it’s that dream worlds always have a kind of “nightmare” part where you have to confront trauma. Is that the nightmare part?
