@@TheXKrystEX the origin of that quote is from friedrich nietzche, undertale just repurposed it also the comparisons to undertale are like, superficial at best if anything i'd say omori took its inspirations from yume nikki far more than it did undertale (especially the red maze, if you were to compare it to the hell area from that game)
This game likes to give you this "rainbow super happy fun time!" areas with your Sweep Hearts or Boss Rush just to make you look at 4k pics of your sisters "suicide" a few seconds later. That is indeed pure evil lol
I would’ve recommended fighting Perfectheart after you’ve gotten everything since she’s the strongest enemy in the game. There are a lot of good things you can still get for this fight too.
I think the "I'M SORRY" is Sunny's apology to/about Mari that he can't give to anyone without remembering and telling the truth, so it's buried deep in his subconscious. Also, you missed another ladder in the red maze.
Yo Merg, funny enough, Vertigo is literally the most broken skill in Omori. It's like run and gun but targets all foes! Try making Omori manic or giving him coffee and watch the numbers go crazy XD Also all fear boss skills are amazing, because their damage is pretty decent and their debuffs are also so powerful.
I believe it's the opposite for me. I mean, killing our flower boy over and over again? In such terrible ways? A lot guilt tripping to me, perhaps. Meanwhile this black space is just random nonsense happening, it's just interesting for me. Or maybe years of being a hardcore Yume Nikki addict made me resistant to these parts of Black Space lol
It would be really cool but I feel the hikikomori blackspace reflects the route perfectly and the main blackspace reflects the main route perfectly as sunny is overcoming his fears and not burying them deeper into his mind
Little tip for perfect heart, NEVER give perfect heart emotions, she can and WILL exploit them (also kel can be used to skip phase 2 with cheese, but ya.) also, use cripple a couple of times to make perfect heart too slow and hit last, which lets you spam healing items for anyone
Vertigo is VERY good with Manic Omori, because it’s proportional to speed. All the Something abilities are worth having, if you’ve got the space and the extra juice. The debuffs are extremely powerful.
so... white egret orchids symbolize the phrase, "My thoughts will follow you into your dreams" so it makes it that much sadder when you realize that the "SOMETHING is trying to talk to you" could possibly imply it's Mari trying to snap you out of Headspace+
Seeing the Phobia fight again reminds me of how sad this game actually is if you decide to go the hikkikomori route, because at the end of the day You really didn't accomplish anything in the real world
Given how little I know about this part of the game, I'm dreading what exactly was so terrifying that out of all of Omori, this is what scared Merg the most.
"Is- Is this... I thought it- is it a... Dude it looks like a butt! And two legs or am I or is i- i- am I am do I have just an imagination? Ewuhhh..." - Merg
Fun fact: the something bosses use stuff like "SOMETHING drags OMORI into the shadows", which means that if omori was actually facing his fears, then it would be like "SOMETHING drags OMORI into the water", but no, which means omori isn't actually facing his fears and is just using a substitute, if that makes sense Edit: also I recommend not saving over the first black space save because there is some stuff in black space 2 that only happens once
58:58 merg's genocide instincts popping out again. well at least you asked politely- and yeah mannequin mari (1:09:40) is probably the creppiest part of the game to me tbh. i am too much of a coward to explore it by myself, so i've been avoiding related content to go blindly along with your vids! this has been a long week at school but today it's over, and you uploaded this at literally the same time i was able to start my break. watching this video felt so rewarding (?
I literally just realised that each of the three fear-based attacks are the stages of Mari’s death: The vertigo as she falls down the stairs. The cripple she has become after likely breaking many of her bones. The suffocation she feels upon being hung by Basil on the Favourite Tree.
comment number 2 of making people remember the best character: yeah, I'm serious on remembering Omoli... even if it's just for a few videos I'll continue making people remember Omoli
I'm sorry to do this to you but there's another ladder you missed in the Red Maze, its a very minor room but its somewhat interesting. Also, if you look at a full map of the maze, you can see some writing and imagery similar to the room from the first Black Space with the faceless friends. I also think the maze is overall meant to represent the you-know-what tree, since it looks kinda like leaves and you can see a noose shape on the left.
I literally cannot appreciate enough the fact that merg is still looking for the ingredients for hero while sunny is going through a literal crisis in his head
Seeing how Merg is both freaking out but also enjoying by Black Space, I really wonder how he would react if he played Yume Nikki. You should try it Merg!
Perfects heart theme reminds me a lot of omega flowey, heres why: -They both start up with build up -They both have creepy laughs before the music starts popping off -Also the fights are similar, since they are very hard Edit: when I meant omega flowey is hard, I meant it in a no hit perspective
When enemies change emotions, I believe the damage modifier counts the new emotions for “moving attacks.” Unfortunately, there’s not really anything you can do about it besides avoiding being inflicted with the opposite emotion at all costs.
Don''t even bother with emotions during Perfectheart's 2nd phase. You'll just keep changing emotions every turn so she''ll eventually get a moving attack and one-shot at least one party member. She also doesn't change her own emotions so no need to dandelion or anything. Aside from that you weren't doing too bad. Remember Snack Time (which comes last) can also heal you up to 100% since you'll Whole Chicken with Kel next turn anyways, so they complement eachother
You should get every item and skill in the game before fighting Perfectheart since she is the last boss you haven't fight with, and make sure you're at the max level. Here's some hints where you can get the items and skill: - The last floor in the dino's dig, make sure to save before going there because when you miss the item you can't get it anymore unless you load - Get the last key for the hangman. - For the skill, keep donating to the gator guy who makes statues at the Last Resort, then have a picnic. Hopefully this helps you fight Perfectheart. Oh, and you also forgot to open your foe facts.
“that’s the bad cooking that you can do in sweetheart’s castle” HAHA MERG- THE FACT THAT YOU REMEMBERED THAT DETAIL MADE ME FORGET I WAS SCARED FOR A SEC
Merg, I know you might not get the reference, but that Red Maze part is a homage to another game- the game that Omori was inspired by- a game called Yume Nikki. It's a really nice touch. And the game is definitely worth playing if you enjoyed Omori.
What I like about blackspace is that it gives you additional clues of sunny's feelings and what he've been through, even if it's sometimes confusing, the game tries to be ambiguous so that we players use our imagination in order for us to understand its lore. It has a similar concept to another game called Yume Nikki, which inspired other game creators like Toby Fox or Dan Salvato.
"Merg, why did you not heal when you were in the danger zone and you would be able to die in the next turn?" "Hear me out, hear me out... It would be funny" Yes
Snrk, yeah, he can be a little silly about it sometimes. I mean, I know he's just checking for any kind of details- amounts, changes, potential acceleration or whatever, but I'm still like, "Yes, it's reducing your health. It did it the first fifteen times- it's not about to stop." XD
@@Saiavinn Right, as much as I've been following his playthrough, him constantly doing things like that have irked me lmao. Like, "yes, you can check out that new area, no need to keep stalling." I know he likes to check all the details first, but sometimes it feels like pointless stalling which gets grating sometimes. I do appreciate how thorough he is at the same time tho, and how he generally reloads a save if someone tells him he missed something.
My god. I'm happy I didn't do this route... this labyrinth with Mary following you, it's pure madness. I legit want to cry. Thank you for covering that part of the game, it's amazing ! I'm not a fan of watching a let's play without playing the game by myself usually, but doing this alone clearly scares me too much this time. It's comforting to listen to someone in the middle of this madness !
I'm becoming more and more fascinated with how much Blackspace, especially Blackspace 2, hold, and how they build upon the unconscious parts of one's mind. 0:34 You've made a terrible mistake Merg. 1:00 Definitely closer to unsettling. 3:34 Ouch- shyren attack kills anyone. 3:58 Yeah that's pretty much a death sentence, she'll manipulate any emotions. 14:44 Yo you actually got her to start putting effort into it lol- heart shield magic is activated! 14:55 "Unleashes her wrath" oh damn- 16:05 I just realized Perfectheart doesn't change expression at all no matter what emotion you give her- yeah definitely a creepy smile. 19:15 Merg has finally learned his lesson... for now at least. 19:29 Reentering the Lost Library, with the gang again! 20:09 Oh yo right... wonder what happens if you play the duet when your trauma hasn't been confronted? If the piano gonna open the wall? 20:38 Three pieces and three lights... kinda like memory lane? 21:22 Ok first one's a creepy candle room. 21:36 With the hands everywhere... 21:49 Oh woah- it's Something in the Dark! And we get to face it with the full gang! And it has actual attacks besides shoving! Oh and there's a turn limit apparently. 22:00 10 turns till you get Mari'd. 22:06 Except Omori... maybe because he's already overcome it? 23:05 Heck yeah he has! 23:46 Ok so the Something fears can't feel emotions makes sense. 25:20 And obliterating his fear gave Omori new power... Vertigo. 25:47 Wait wait wait, is Omori the new speed boy? Does he get Kel's items now??? 26:15 Oh wait you're right wtf. Is these gonna be the key to beating Perfectheart? 27:12 Oh geez we're just swimming in spiders. 27:16 Well that's creepy. 27:38 Wait are you talking about Mari's coffin? 27:50 Time to face... Something in the Walls. 28:14 Yeah that is a lot- hard fight incoming. 28:30 Wait wha- it does cost juice, 45. 29:58 Oh yeah maybe this is to make your friends no longer be afraid? 30:24 Ok Vertigo is terrifying- and you're right he's using the same hands! 32:19 Now it's... cripple... wait a sec, vertigo, the world spinning, before cripple... these secret final skills are the strongest because they come from Omori's strongest emotions... over Mari's death. 33:42 Woah- now we're on the docks, a lot more like in Yume Nikki... 34:04 Something in the Water... 34:44 Slowly drowning you... 35:20 Guess even fears can get charmed? Or maybe they just have to follow the rules... 35:35 Nice. 36:20 Crippling them with the spider legs... Omori's skills were always a bit dark but this is just evil... 37:06 Oh no- now instead of pulling up this time you're gradually being pulled deeper... does it deal more drowning damage now too? 37:33 Yeah I was right more damage per phase. 38:17 Even deeper... 38:27 And even more damage... 38:55 Just listening ew. 39:28 Merg gets smug, everything proceeds to almost go wrong lmao. 39:55 And finally suffocate... _This person is not breathing._ (Plus that's what hanging will do-) 40:18 That's a very specific amount of damage? 40:53 Oh- OH- oh damn it was all to continue the repression. You didn't overcome your fears... you forgot them, and probably the events in the Lost Library that caused you to fear them too... And with the piano, you didn't forget Mari too, did you? Did some research on the wiki about that, and yeah if you interact with any of the books now the memories have been repressed, it says the writing has been scribbled out. You really were doing the clean up work to repress Blackspace the whole time. 42:00 Ah- so now that you've fully repressed everything and there's no chance of discovering the truth, you've now forged a direct connection to Blackspace? 43:14 There's more doors here, wonder where they lead? 44:03 Ah of course, they lead to the main Blackspace 2 areas. No more finding hidden entrances no more restrictions, it's all there to find! 44:08 So I don't beleive you ever found it, but I got to the docks myself while exploring Blackspace in the Sunny route through a secret entrance, so I've found most of what's already here, though there are some Hikikomori exclusive stuff. There are a couple things here exclusive to the Sunny route though. The Othermart Lady will appear here on the Sunny route, and there's an exclusive area called Mari is Home that I won't spoil but I'd definitely recommend finding if you don't find it in a later video. 45:04 Funnily enough that's just like the other kitchen appliance in the forest area. 46:40 Oh damn- ok so this isn't Hikikomori exclusive (I thought it was which was why I gave up) but this is the one section I never figured out how to access, so good job! 46:52 Oh the bathtubs are the different frames of Sunny being pulled into the water. 47:29 The door to the backyard... and a boat. 47:35 You have been shipped to a new area. 47:44 That's definitely not how water works. Maybe Minecraft water tho. 48:14 Those walls are oddly fleshy looking- 48:25 Boat horn? 48:29 And now it's raining- and the droning repeats. 48:53 Ok lightning ok. 50:14 Oh damn wait- it's like the inverse of that beach area in original Blackspace. 50:25 Dark deep well? 50:30 Welp. 52:15 My personal interpretation is that it's so much messier because it more truly reflects Sunny's unconscious thoughts. There's this Freudian theory that separates the mind into the Ego, Super-ego, and Id (also I first learned about this through a Game Theory video don't judge me) that explains the difference layers of the minds consciousness. I think Blackspace is supposed to represent the Super-ego and ID, the repressed and instinctual thoughts long lost from consciousness. Blackspace forges a winding path through them because you have to reach through those repressed thoughts to bring back Basil because he literally became a repressed thought, almost another Something. But in Blackspace 2 there is no beaten path, no isolated rooms that try to lead you to an end goal. You're just... exploring. You're seeing the dark and disturbing parts of Sunny's mind purely because you can and that's why it's so much more random. You're in a layer of consciousness that you should normally never be able to access, but due to Sunny's years of isolation, experience personifying his thoughts in Headspace, and lucid dreaming, you can. 52:26 Ohp more Yume Nikki/True Lab beds. They're like Sunny and Mari's too... 52:30 Oh damn didn't even see the ladder under the left bed until you pointed it out. 53:05 I'm Sorry... The apology Sunny never got to give to Mari, or his friends, pushed all the way down here, down past Blackspace, past the Blackspace 2 hub rooms, all the way below a well into the deepest level it can go, because what is there to apologize for if you can't remember what you did? The need to make it up to everyone, the guilt that comes with everything, has to be full repressed. 54:54 You can normally pocket in here, you just couldn't do it in the hub. 56:18 If you slash the web 9 times (you were super close lol) it doesn't come back and you can interact with the door. It used to take you to another area I never got to called the Static Void, but now it just gives the text, "You are afraid." if you do want to access the Static Void though, there is a way, but you need to get a certain remote! ...You've probably found that by now but whatever lol. 57:00 Already saw this area myself, but it having an entrance that looks like a house is important. Remember a certain character whose house is filled with trash? 58:40 Oh damn didn't notice that HellMari. But yeah Blackspace surrounds the place. 58:54 No Merg the kid is not the ingredient no need to sound so disappointed- 1:00:55 There we go that's the ingredients. 1:03:01 Pft yeah Omori's missing Aubrey, even in Sunny's subconscious. 1:03:04 Yeaaaah I think this game is starting to get to you Merg lol. 1:03:54 That is appreciated. 1:04:04 Yaaay. Interesting how basic mechanics like these break down in Blackspace or you even see what equates to beta versions... like Headspace's RPG mechanics are just part of the illusion. 1:04:40 Oh? Bruh he cooked up a key lmao. 1:06:03 Oh no this gate is just another broken "beta" thing, the ingredient isn't used as an actual key, but obtaining it does trigger a couple things. 1:06:55 It must go, its people need it. 1:08:07 Welcome to Hell, Merg. Another area based off of Yume Nikki. 1:09:00 Don't worry, it's just another RPG mechanic, taking damage doesn't matter here, not until you get back to Headspace. 1:10:07 More guilt. Wonder if this is Sunny's repressed thoughts thinking he deserves to go to Hell for what he did? 1:12:48 I'm so glad I use the wiki specifically so I don't miss these things lol. A lot of Blackspace 2 has you do the same thing over and over. 1:13:45 Same sprite as the one used for that Blackspace key portal that you can jump into and end up in the water falling into anglerfish Hellmari. 1:17:00 Yeye Daddy Longlegs returns. 1:22:40 Yup, the doors remain. Like I said, no set path here. :)
Well I mean... Vertigo while falling, Crippled due to falling, and uh, yknow, Suffocated from, uh, "floating" Also, I cant believe that the biggest jumpscares I've gotten since watching The Haunting of Hill House way back in 2020 would come from this-
Just a small fact for you Merg but the vertigo, cripple, suffocate and red hands is insane on omori. I don't want to spoil much but use cripple on perfectheart. I think you can figure out what to do afterwards :)
Drowning fear : You will drown to death ! Omori : Eats a whole chicken to stop drowning. Drowning fear : Wait what- Omori : Drink a juice underwater. Drowning fear : Wait you can't do that-
You started this series almost a year ago, and there's still so much to explore. The devs really put there heart and souls into this game. I've never even played it, I have only watched your lets play and its literally my favorite game :D
Always great to see a new omori video! Black Space areas are the best, the little details you can see make the exploration really worth it. Also fun fact, when I played the game I thought that in the piano area of the lost library was the "final boss" of the game, so I played the entirety of the route before getting these skills :')
As for Perfectheart's phase 2, always keep her emotion neutral. Giving her an emotion means she can hit harder on your team members with another emotion. Use Hero's Massage skill, or use a dandelion.
Thank you for still exploring this game! Your playthrough has helped me discover a lot more about the game that I didn't know from the countless playthroughs I've seen. I always look forward to your Omori videos and can't wait to see more! btw this was the scariest episode yet ahaha :'(
You're not getting Perfectheart if you're not max level. It's theoretically possible, but the amount of grinding you need to do for all the full pizza's is insane. You still need a lot.
The energy break supposedly increases everyone's stats, so it's a good idea to use that when possible, even if the damage isn't amazing. I've never noticed a difference, but it's there, apparently.
Oh boy, black space 2. It is a very large area with alot of conditional secrets spread throughout, and both Black Spaces even have secret entrances and exists to each other, not to mention there is an extremely obscure area that you can only reach in the normal route by using one of such entrances... Oh yeah, the Hero cooking thing in fact changed a certain sprite in the so called Weathervane area
I don't know if you like to take suggestions or not but I highly recommend playing this one game called Rain World. It's a survival game where you play as a slugcat as it attempts to survive in a perilous ecosystem. It'd be awsome if you checked it out!

Fun fact: the something bosses use stuff like "SOMETHING drags OMORI into the shadows", which means that if omori was actually facing his fears, then it would be like "SOMETHING drags OMORI into the water", but no, which means omori isn't actually facing his fears and is just using a substitute, if that makes sense

I literally just realised that each of the three fear-based attacks are the stages of Mari’s death:
The vertigo as she falls down the stairs.
The cripple she has become after likely breaking many of her bones.
The suffocation she feels upon being hung by Basil on the Favourite Tree.

I'm sorry to do this to you but there's another ladder you missed in the Red Maze, its a very minor room but its somewhat interesting.
Also, if you look at a full map of the maze, you can see some writing and imagery similar to the room from the first Black Space with the faceless friends. I also think the maze is overall meant to represent the you-know-what tree, since it looks kinda like leaves and you can see a noose shape on the left.
SOMETHING: *exists*
Everyone: *reasonably scared*
Merg: "C O N F E T T I"
The new skills replace all of the skills except for red hands, you have succeeded in making Omori powerful
Perfectheart *battle* is not the only thing that goes HARD, but also her *theme music.*
Like HOLY CRAP! The *OST* from Omori it's REALLY good!!!
VERY TRUE
@@Merg aa gotta ask but what is your favorite one (omori ost)
@@Alex_36 Probably Clean Slate since I listen to it all the time.
@@Merg Everytime I listen to this one, I feel an *inner peace*
I literally cannot appreciate enough the fact that merg is still looking for the ingredients for hero while sunny is going through a literal crisis in his head
the 🔳🔳 🔳🔳 was worth it
Seeing how Merg is both freaking out but also enjoying by Black Space, I really wonder how he would react if he played Yume Nikki. You should try it Merg!
Perfects heart theme reminds me a lot of omega flowey, heres why:
-They both start up with build up
-They both have creepy laughs before the music starts popping off
-Also the fights are similar, since they are very hard
Edit: when I meant omega flowey is hard, I meant it in a no hit perspective
omega flowey ez ngl
Perfect Flowey is more like Asriel Dreemur
A perfect being that is insanely strong
@@worldtrademark_ ez because Toby was very nice making it by giving you loads of checkpoints and invincibility at 7 different times
@@Icedonot yeah so then why did you say the omega flowey fight is hard
@@worldtrademark_ because try no hitting it
When enemies change emotions, I believe the damage modifier counts the new emotions for “moving attacks.”
Unfortunately, there’s not really anything you can do about it besides avoiding being inflicted with the opposite emotion at all costs.
i think how it works is attacks that change both teams emotions work first on self and once the turn ends then the targets emotion changes
1:09:42 i know it's creepy, but I always find funny the way Merg just stops in silence for a moment
and then
"I'm done"
The way you handled the superboss was pretty . . .
*Perfect*
heh . . . heh . . .
Merg: "Is that sunny taking a bath?"
Me: Yes, that is sunny taking yet another refreshing, nice, calming, breath taking "bath."
Great vid Merg, no matter how bad a day has been, you also brighten my day. :)
you haven’t even watched 10 minutes
Amazing way to cheer up! Looking up the trauma of a killer with our eyes!
Yes, killing the *_bunnies_* will cheer us up 😈
Don''t even bother with emotions during Perfectheart's 2nd phase. You'll just keep changing emotions every turn so she''ll eventually get a moving attack and one-shot at least one party member. She also doesn't change her own emotions so no need to dandelion or anything.
Aside from that you weren't doing too bad. Remember Snack Time (which comes last) can also heal you up to 100% since you'll Whole Chicken with Kel next turn anyways, so they complement eachother
You should get every item and skill in the game before fighting Perfectheart since she is the last boss you haven't fight with, and make sure you're at the max level. Here's some hints where you can get the items and skill:
- The last floor in the dino's dig, make sure to save before going there because when you miss the item you can't get it anymore unless you load
- Get the last key for the hangman.
- For the skill, keep donating to the gator guy who makes statues at the Last Resort, then have a picnic.
Hopefully this helps you fight Perfectheart. Oh, and you also forgot to open your foe facts.
OMG, YESS, WE FINALLY GOT MORE OMORI, GUYS!
Thanks, Merg, this made my day)
:)
“that’s the bad cooking that you can do in sweetheart’s castle” HAHA MERG- THE FACT THAT YOU REMEMBERED THAT DETAIL MADE ME FORGET I WAS SCARED FOR A SEC
Merg, I know you might not get the reference, but that Red Maze part is a homage to another game- the game that Omori was inspired by- a game called Yume Nikki. It's a really nice touch. And the game is definitely worth playing if you enjoyed Omori.
What I like about blackspace is that it gives you additional clues of sunny's feelings and what he've been through, even if it's sometimes confusing, the game tries to be ambiguous so that we players use our imagination in order for us to understand its lore. It has a similar concept to another game called Yume Nikki, which inspired other game creators like Toby Fox or Dan Salvato.
"Merg, why did you not heal when you were in the danger zone and you would be able to die in the next turn?"
"Hear me out, hear me out...
It would be funny"
Yes
The way Merg kept looking at his health while all the Mari's came at him 😭 I was like runnnnn LOLLL
Snrk, yeah, he can be a little silly about it sometimes.
I mean, I know he's just checking for any kind of details- amounts, changes, potential acceleration or whatever, but I'm still like, "Yes, it's reducing your health. It did it the first fifteen times- it's not about to stop." XD
@@Saiavinn Right, as much as I've been following his playthrough, him constantly doing things like that have irked me lmao. Like, "yes, you can check out that new area, no need to keep stalling."
I know he likes to check all the details first, but sometimes it feels like pointless stalling which gets grating sometimes. I do appreciate how thorough he is at the same time tho, and how he generally reloads a save if someone tells him he missed something.
My god. I'm happy I didn't do this route... this labyrinth with Mary following you, it's pure madness. I legit want to cry.
Thank you for covering that part of the game, it's amazing ! I'm not a fan of watching a let's play without playing the game by myself usually, but doing this alone clearly scares me too much this time. It's comforting to listen to someone in the middle of this madness !
"Push, cripple, kill, hang"
Well that got dark fast...
oh sorry i was just reading Omori's skillset out loud...
Imagine if he learned "Procceed"
Hey merg, the Stanley Parable got dlc, I think you should play it.
omg, yes!
Yes yes🙏
YOO REALLY? AIGHT IMMA XHDCK IT OUT
It's so good
I think he is going to play it, because he made a seperate playlist for Stanley Parable not long ago
Sunny's gone, Merg. Omori is just exploring Sunny's subconscious and trauma.
"Hmm, well this place was nice, time to blow it up"
I'm becoming more and more fascinated with how much Blackspace, especially Blackspace 2, hold, and how they build upon the unconscious parts of one's mind.
0:34 You've made a terrible mistake Merg.
1:00 Definitely closer to unsettling.
3:34 Ouch- shyren attack kills anyone.
3:58 Yeah that's pretty much a death sentence, she'll manipulate any emotions.
14:44 Yo you actually got her to start putting effort into it lol- heart shield magic is activated!
14:55 "Unleashes her wrath" oh damn-
16:05 I just realized Perfectheart doesn't change expression at all no matter what emotion you give her- yeah definitely a creepy smile.
19:15 Merg has finally learned his lesson... for now at least.
19:29 Reentering the Lost Library, with the gang again!
20:09 Oh yo right... wonder what happens if you play the duet when your trauma hasn't been confronted? If the piano gonna open the wall?
20:38 Three pieces and three lights... kinda like memory lane?
21:22 Ok first one's a creepy candle room.
21:36 With the hands everywhere...
21:49 Oh woah- it's Something in the Dark! And we get to face it with the full gang! And it has actual attacks besides shoving! Oh and there's a turn limit apparently.
22:00 10 turns till you get Mari'd.
22:06 Except Omori... maybe because he's already overcome it?
23:05 Heck yeah he has!
23:46 Ok so the Something fears can't feel emotions makes sense.
25:20 And obliterating his fear gave Omori new power... Vertigo.
25:47 Wait wait wait, is Omori the new speed boy? Does he get Kel's items now???
26:15 Oh wait you're right wtf. Is these gonna be the key to beating Perfectheart?
27:12 Oh geez we're just swimming in spiders.
27:16 Well that's creepy.
27:38 Wait are you talking about Mari's coffin?
27:50 Time to face... Something in the Walls.
28:14 Yeah that is a lot- hard fight incoming.
28:30 Wait wha- it does cost juice, 45.
29:58 Oh yeah maybe this is to make your friends no longer be afraid?
30:24 Ok Vertigo is terrifying- and you're right he's using the same hands!
32:19 Now it's... cripple... wait a sec, vertigo, the world spinning, before cripple... these secret final skills are the strongest because they come from Omori's strongest emotions... over Mari's death.
33:42 Woah- now we're on the docks, a lot more like in Yume Nikki...
34:04 Something in the Water...
34:44 Slowly drowning you...
35:20 Guess even fears can get charmed? Or maybe they just have to follow the rules...
35:35 Nice.
36:20 Crippling them with the spider legs... Omori's skills were always a bit dark but this is just evil...
37:06 Oh no- now instead of pulling up this time you're gradually being pulled deeper... does it deal more drowning damage now too?
37:33 Yeah I was right more damage per phase.
38:17 Even deeper...
38:27 And even more damage...
38:55 Just listening ew.
39:28 Merg gets smug, everything proceeds to almost go wrong lmao.
39:55 And finally suffocate... _This person is not breathing._ (Plus that's what hanging will do-)
40:18 That's a very specific amount of damage?
40:53 Oh- OH- oh damn it was all to continue the repression. You didn't overcome your fears... you forgot them, and probably the events in the Lost Library that caused you to fear them too... And with the piano, you didn't forget Mari too, did you?
Did some research on the wiki about that, and yeah if you interact with any of the books now the memories have been repressed, it says the writing has been scribbled out. You really were doing the clean up work to repress Blackspace the whole time.
42:00 Ah- so now that you've fully repressed everything and there's no chance of discovering the truth, you've now forged a direct connection to Blackspace?
43:14 There's more doors here, wonder where they lead?
44:03 Ah of course, they lead to the main Blackspace 2 areas. No more finding hidden entrances no more restrictions, it's all there to find!
44:08 So I don't beleive you ever found it, but I got to the docks myself while exploring Blackspace in the Sunny route through a secret entrance, so I've found most of what's already here, though there are some Hikikomori exclusive stuff. There are a couple things here exclusive to the Sunny route though. The Othermart Lady will appear here on the Sunny route, and there's an exclusive area called Mari is Home that I won't spoil but I'd definitely recommend finding if you don't find it in a later video.
45:04 Funnily enough that's just like the other kitchen appliance in the forest area.
46:40 Oh damn- ok so this isn't Hikikomori exclusive (I thought it was which was why I gave up) but this is the one section I never figured out how to access, so good job!
46:52 Oh the bathtubs are the different frames of Sunny being pulled into the water.
47:29 The door to the backyard... and a boat.
47:35 You have been shipped to a new area.
47:44 That's definitely not how water works. Maybe Minecraft water tho.
48:14 Those walls are oddly fleshy looking-
48:25 Boat horn?
48:29 And now it's raining- and the droning repeats.
48:53 Ok lightning ok.
50:14 Oh damn wait- it's like the inverse of that beach area in original Blackspace.
50:25 Dark deep well?
50:30 Welp.
52:15 My personal interpretation is that it's so much messier because it more truly reflects Sunny's unconscious thoughts. There's this Freudian theory that separates the mind into the Ego, Super-ego, and Id (also I first learned about this through a Game Theory video don't judge me) that explains the difference layers of the minds consciousness. I think Blackspace is supposed to represent the Super-ego and ID, the repressed and instinctual thoughts long lost from consciousness. Blackspace forges a winding path through them because you have to reach through those repressed thoughts to bring back Basil because he literally became a repressed thought, almost another Something. But in Blackspace 2 there is no beaten path, no isolated rooms that try to lead you to an end goal. You're just... exploring. You're seeing the dark and disturbing parts of Sunny's mind purely because you can and that's why it's so much more random. You're in a layer of consciousness that you should normally never be able to access, but due to Sunny's years of isolation, experience personifying his thoughts in Headspace, and lucid dreaming, you can.
52:26 Ohp more Yume Nikki/True Lab beds. They're like Sunny and Mari's too...
52:30 Oh damn didn't even see the ladder under the left bed until you pointed it out.
53:05 I'm Sorry... The apology Sunny never got to give to Mari, or his friends, pushed all the way down here, down past Blackspace, past the Blackspace 2 hub rooms, all the way below a well into the deepest level it can go, because what is there to apologize for if you can't remember what you did? The need to make it up to everyone, the guilt that comes with everything, has to be full repressed.
54:54 You can normally pocket in here, you just couldn't do it in the hub.
56:18 If you slash the web 9 times (you were super close lol) it doesn't come back and you can interact with the door. It used to take you to another area I never got to called the Static Void, but now it just gives the text, "You are afraid." if you do want to access the Static Void though, there is a way, but you need to get a certain remote! ...You've probably found that by now but whatever lol.
57:00 Already saw this area myself, but it having an entrance that looks like a house is important. Remember a certain character whose house is filled with trash?
58:40 Oh damn didn't notice that HellMari. But yeah Blackspace surrounds the place.
58:54 No Merg the kid is not the ingredient no need to sound so disappointed-
1:00:55 There we go that's the ingredients.
1:03:01 Pft yeah Omori's missing Aubrey, even in Sunny's subconscious.
1:03:04 Yeaaaah I think this game is starting to get to you Merg lol.
1:03:54 That is appreciated.
1:04:04 Yaaay. Interesting how basic mechanics like these break down in Blackspace or you even see what equates to beta versions... like Headspace's RPG mechanics are just part of the illusion.
1:04:40 Oh? Bruh he cooked up a key lmao.
1:06:03 Oh no this gate is just another broken "beta" thing, the ingredient isn't used as an actual key, but obtaining it does trigger a couple things.
1:06:55 It must go, its people need it.
1:08:07 Welcome to Hell, Merg. Another area based off of Yume Nikki.
1:09:00 Don't worry, it's just another RPG mechanic, taking damage doesn't matter here, not until you get back to Headspace.
1:10:07 More guilt. Wonder if this is Sunny's repressed thoughts thinking he deserves to go to Hell for what he did?
1:12:48 I'm so glad I use the wiki specifically so I don't miss these things lol. A lot of Blackspace 2 has you do the same thing over and over.
1:13:45 Same sprite as the one used for that Blackspace key portal that you can jump into and end up in the water falling into anglerfish Hellmari.
1:17:00 Yeye Daddy Longlegs returns.
1:22:40 Yup, the doors remain. Like I said, no set path here. :)
Merg: enters red maze
Me: GO BACK GO BACK GO BACK GO BACK GO BACK GO BACK GO BACK
Update: I’m not scared anymore, hell yeah
1:08:10 Ok excuse me, but what.
What. Just... What
1:09:57 *What the frick is actually happening.*
1:13:40 GG Blackspace. Wow
the overcoming of his fears came at a cost...
those memories he promised himself to never forget...
Stab in the Mari jumpscare room for a secret, you can go back to white space after that,
(Also it might not work, but I'm pretty sure it still works)
39:12 Hey... ever noticed how one of those vines looks like someone hanging from a tree or a small shrub?
Thank you merg for the wonderful information, next time i go swimming i will bring a whole chicken, just in case.
1:08:00 merg's imagination never ceases to amaze
the comments on these videos are making me super paranoid
like the jumpscares are not that bad but the comments make me fear them
Well I mean... Vertigo while falling, Crippled due to falling, and uh, yknow, Suffocated from, uh, "floating"
Also, I cant believe that the biggest jumpscares I've gotten since watching The Haunting of Hill House way back in 2020 would come from this-
seeing him accidentally discover the red maze filled me with so much dread and happiness at the same time
Omori: (turns bagel into a watermelon)
Merg: 16:29
Watching Merg play Omori…
It fills you with DETERMINATION
Love your videos! 😄
Kel Run and gun strategy is perfectly fair against perfect heart.
merg really is milking all the depression this game has to offer so he can become the depressed god.
Just wait til he starts doing modded Omori
Just a small fact for you Merg but the vertigo, cripple, suffocate and red hands is insane on omori. I don't want to spoil much but use cripple on perfectheart. I think you can figure out what to do afterwards :)
Drowning fear : You will drown to death !
Omori : Eats a whole chicken to stop drowning.
Drowning fear : Wait what-
Omori : Drink a juice underwater.
Drowning fear : Wait you can't do that-
1:13:42 THE WAY I JUMPED OMG,,,, got really startled,,, watching this in my bed at literally 2am may not have been the best idea lol,,,,
I am happy that Merg is still playing this game. I like that once he starts a game he stays committed to the game until he finishes what he started.
You started this series almost a year ago, and there's still so much to explore. The devs really put there heart and souls into this game. I've never even played it, I have only watched your lets play and its literally my favorite game :D
OMORI! WOOOOOO. Good to see you back to this Merg. Still by far one of my favourite series on your channel. :D
YES! More Omori content, finally!!
*The best current series is back!!!*
Thanks Merg, your videos always makes my day MUCH better.
Ah yes, Perfectheart... or more commonly known as: PIZZA EATING SIMULATOR
With that jump-scare near the end, one would think we are playing Fnaf lol.
Man, seeing a new OMORI video from you makes my day every single time. Keep up the good work!
"We're just gonna keep redhanding." -Merg 2022
Starting the friday with merg telling you "whats up guys" in a omori video and the perefect heart
Absolutly perfect❤👌
Always great to see a new omori video!
Black Space areas are the best, the little details you can see make the exploration really worth it.
Also fun fact, when I played the game I thought that in the piano area of the lost library was the "final boss" of the game, so I played the entirety of the route before getting these skills :')
As for Perfectheart's phase 2, always keep her emotion neutral. Giving her an emotion means she can hit harder on your team members with another emotion. Use Hero's Massage skill, or use a dandelion.
Thank you for still exploring this game! Your playthrough has helped me discover a lot more about the game that I didn't know from the countless playthroughs I've seen. I always look forward to your Omori videos and can't wait to see more!
btw this was the scariest episode yet ahaha :'(
You're not getting Perfectheart if you're not max level. It's theoretically possible, but the amount of grinding you need to do for all the full pizza's is insane. You still need a lot.

_Climacophobia: the fear of ladders_
I love how you can easily tell how far Merg has come from the beginning of his series till this point
The energy break supposedly increases everyone's stats, so it's a good idea to use that when possible, even if the damage isn't amazing. I've never noticed a difference, but it's there, apparently.
Oh boy, black space 2. It is a very large area with alot of conditional secrets spread throughout, and both Black Spaces even have secret entrances and exists to each other, not to mention there is an extremely obscure area that you can only reach in the normal route by using one of such entrances...
Oh yeah, the Hero cooking thing in fact changed a certain sprite in the so called Weathervane area
41:50 you should try reading the books in the lost library, now that you've got the repressed achievement
YAAAAYYYY ANOTHER OMORI VIDEO!!
I haven't seen it yet but i already know it will be wonderful!
Vertigo is essentially Omori's version of run and gun, except he can't flex to ultrabuff it.
Give him coffee and he can cause agony.
Man merg, your videos are so GOOD
FINALLY, AAAAAAAHHH!! I WAITED FOR THIS SINCE YOU STARTED THIS GAME YEAAAAHH
finally a new episode of the hikikomori route ! :D
I don't know if you like to take suggestions or not but I highly recommend playing this one game called Rain World. It's a survival game where you play as a slugcat as it attempts to survive in a perilous ecosystem. It'd be awsome if you checked it out!
I feel like he would love that game
