OMORI’s outfit is based on Mari’s piano, not just the name. The black tank-top and white/black shorts represent the piano keys, which goes along with the rest of his monochrome body.
@Pudding Man Spoilers I kinda feel like he wanted to hold onto his childhood but forget everything leading up to Mari's death. When you look at the photo album in the dream world, anything involving the recital or piano (something Sunny really didn't wanna do and is what led to Mari's death) is conveniently left out. I think the white space itself is him trying to forget everything outside of his room and the dream world is him pretending that the good times were the only thing that actually happened
@Pudding Man Mmm very true. Perhaps white space is more of a culmination of all those picnics but devoid of any joy, but he remains in there because it’s what he’s most attached to regarding Mari and his friends. Hence the hands dragging him back every time he goes out
I love how its pure piano playing. Mari's big thing was her piano and its the only sounds he can think of, and the whole space is centered around mari. Picnic layout, piano, her cat, his name is her piano. Omori. For four years that was his life. Thinking all about mari. How he doesn't deserve to get to be with his friends because of what he did to someone who loved him so much. Vice versa. Heartbreaking. Ps the lightbulb squiggles look like the monster tentacles in some fight scene/mari's hair being black and ragged when she was y'know. Kinda symbolizing her as the light of his life but at the same time someone who darkened his soul hence it being a black lightbulb.
Kinda the opposite of the OMORI track which is all violin. And this feels peaceful albeit with hints of sadness sprinkled all over whereas OMORI feels like all that sadness is exploding out of Sunny
I love the detail of how in the true route, the white space theme progressed from 8-bit to piano as Sunny gets closer to the truth, while in the hikikomori route it stays 8-bit.
Ramble alert: I had a dream about white space even though I've never played or watched a play through of this game, it was a little dimension where everyone who joined it would get a buddy to hang out with in white space and you could create anything you can imagine and white space was like this bunch of white corridors and it was kinda comforting? I asked my buddy at one point if they wanted to go for a walk and they stood up and said "sure, thats all we really do anyways." and then we started walking around the halls. This is probably one of my favourite dreams idk why
You made me remember that when I was a child I used to fear the void but the void that I thought looked like a white space, I hated to think about it, I believed that one day the universe would remain like this, without any change, predictable, sure, a place where it is impossible to die but that kills you inside. I remember when I was from the Undertale fandom, the story of Ink Sans reminded me too much of that and it was one of the reasons I stayed in the community. now I just have to laugh at those nights when I couldn't sleep, how I got sick just thinking about it.
Once, I did not dream, but then I dreamed, it literally was me looking at nothing, *close your eyes* (pun kinda intended) and that's it, nothing... just a black space, but then on this black space I was chilling around I look on my shoulder and there's a fricking spider biting me and ohh the shoulder is super red and big because of the bite, what a nice welcome to my own little space (of course I woke up immediately and it was daytime, so idk if I was dreaming before that or it was just nothing and then I dreamed)
The phrase "waiting for something to happen" reminds me of hypervigilance and how dissociation is a way to cope with that. it's like a mental safe space to retreat to for when you feel something bad is happening. Living in a shell inside of yourself is like building a wall between you and the world around you. It's like existing in your own safe little corner where nobody can hurt you-- not because you or others are bad-- but because you cease to exist. there is nothing happening. there is no life, no rules, no movement... it's time out. an escape. your memories are detached from your existence, and you are just passing through. your ego is like watercolor, bleeding into the world around you. you become entirely separate yet unified. it's like you exist inside of a dream-- one that will be over at any second. and everything will become nothing. the past only exists in the present, and the future is not guaranteed. everything you've ever known becomes irrelevant because it can disappear along with you at any moment. This song feels like the foggy cotton sensation that shields my brain when I'm dissociating. it's a false sense of security, but I'm finally void of emotion. there is no crying, no flinching. it's like sleeping with your eyes open, except there's no active stream of consciousness. it's just static. maybe a few phrases, things like "this isn't happening", "I'm not really here right now", "I'll wake up soon", etc. but you don't think about your senses. they're shut down. your vision is blurred, staring at nothing in particular. things don't hurt as bad. you can feel the pressure but the pain is gone. words sound like pebbles gently cascading into a pond. your emotions run flat. you're a blank canvas, an organism in an observation tank. on the other hand, this song sounds like a lullaby. Sunny had to dissociate from himself because he believes that he is fundamentally evil for what he did. He compartmentalized the good parts of him to fit his black and white perspective. This song sounds like Omori/Sunny trying to self-soothe.
UppinDown it’s not like only emptiness, it’s more like the beginning of feelings induct by music but those feelings, emotions or anything else doesn’t come out. It’s a mix, to be synthetic, of hollowness and trapped feelings.
@@il_tristo_mewtitore8621 That's.. what emptiness feels like. Emptiness just feels like something is constantly off, like uh, butterflies in the stomach but more subtle. That feeling when your cousins leave after a long visit or when an online friend logs out.
I love how even in the dream world, Mari's hold is still there. From the piano music, from 'something' always following you. It shows guilt in it's truest rawest form. "You loved her, and you killed her." It's your fault- and yet it's not, because life isn't black and white. Life isn't the white space or the black space. Life is a tangible dream. Wake up, and grasp what you have before it's gone. Before it tumbles down and shatters, just like Mari did.
@@moonnpie Mari was the real world, Sunny was the dream world. Mari felt comfort in her dreams and the people she met in the real world- but Sunny couldn't find that same comfort and kept to himself. Mari's music and voice was silenced forever, but it still leaks into Sunny's head in the form of dream her where nothing happened. Sunny needs to come into grips with his guilt, otherwise he'll tumble down too- just like Mari did. He will shatter, just like his violin did, and there will be no fixing or hiding it this time.
I think more than anything, this takes me back to my first day at the psych ward. Everything feels safe and sterile. But not free. Trapped. A place where you’re provided for and kept as content as possible but you can’t really leave when you want to. In a lot of ways it’s just like childhood.
@@ellennovo4450 "Psychiatric hospitals, also known as mental health hospitals, and mental health units, are hospitals or wards specializing in the treatment of serious mental disorders, such as major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Psychiatric hospitals vary widely in their size and grading." 👍i hope this clears it up ^^
The fact that it's actual gameplay footage, that someone is standing behind the screen and moving, looking, waiting... It feels like it's OMORI itself, it's typical day in white space. When you open the notepad on the pc you get his shedule. Play with friends, spend here a forever alone... Because he doesn't want to progress. He doesn't want to leave, knowing that there will be a day the truth would come out, and that it won't be here, it will be there. But he can't just sit here forever. After all, there is only one darkbulb, and it's getting stronger, beginning to burn out. But when it's done... There would be nothing left to hide with
I see a lot of comments talking about how this place and theme give off a feeling of emptiness and hopelessness and things like that, and I can definitely see that. But to me, it all feels very comforting. Like, the theme and white space as a whole give off a feeling of safety and comfort, like the entire outside world doesn’t matter right now, and you can just relish in the nothingness. And that’s the entire point of white space, a place for Sunny to go to where he can just forget and ignore all of the trauma he’s gone through and just like, exist peacefully.
The uneasiness probably comes from a few things, imo. The fact that yes, white space is his escape. But it also caused him to miss so much bc white space is just in his head, it's an escape but an ignorant route of escape, really. Everyone needs some form of escape, but this probably caused just as much damage all while helping him get through everything. Especially with context of the story. He's hiding from his trauma, not facing it. He's hiding from family, friends, any type of reminder, and instead he's in this blank area, where he can only do the same things over and over again, with this music that reminds many of us of his deep trauma and problems. From outside perspective with no context. U see everything in black and white, a single, simple ringing tone/melody echoing in ur ear, a boy who just stands there, and text box that seem just as empty as the room. I can see that coming off as uneasy, or at least eerie. For myself, this song is perfect for me in most situations. It does have a slightly eerie tone to it, but it's comforting and soft, all while matching or even enhancing the empty feeling I often have.
It’s strange. I feel guilt for something I didn’t do. I’ve never met Mari personally and it would be impossible to do so because she doesn’t exist physically in this universe, and even if she did, I’d have no relation to her. I have never played this game, I watched a play through. Yet, I feel the guilt, I feel as though I am responsible. All of Sunny’s feelings were projected directly onto all of us. I guess that’s the curse we get for witnessing it. Mari’s curse.
@@kseniyazarubina5484 is it really unhealthy, I think it only gives u more emotions or idk I really don’t, it’s weird, I’ve not gotten that far, feeling guilty, I just love Mari, and wonder how it would be having her here idk, or actually missing her
Honestly as somebody who struggles with emotions, I use this to calm down from extreme rages, manic episodes, panic attacks, etc. That or when im numb (quite a bit) I can feel calm and relaxed to this.
Waiting. Waiting for something to change, for the feelings of the past to re-emerge in all their glory. Waiting for the day you can look people you care about in the eye and be honest with them, when they'll accept you for who you are, for what you've done. Waiting for the day the old you comes back. But they never do. They never will. You'll always be waiting. Waiting for something to happen.
This music makes me feel safe, but not a 'safe and secure' kind of safe but more of a 'safe for now' kind of safe. Like, something is definitely protecting and watching over me but in an eerie kinda way.
A comment above already said this, but this music makes me feel. Definitely not a good feeling, but it’s something nonetheless. If I had to describe it, it’d be a hollowness far more empty beyond anything else I’ve ever felt before. This is one of those games I wish I could forget and experience for the first time over and over again. Edit: Damn y'all, this is probably my most successful comment ever. Thank you. To add on to what I already said and with new information i found, I feel like this piece plays in place of the 8-bit sounding-one almost as if Sunny is realizing he can't go on pretending, and is the grief that accompanies the truth is kinda bleeding into his headspace (if you're going for the true ending, that is).
This makes me feel terribly empty and cold. It’s calm on one side but so, so lonely. I don’t know if it’s a thing everyone does, but when I hear music I divide the notes between “cold notes” and “warm notes” These seem mostly like cold notes to me, and that contributes in how it makes me feel. And ooh damn I kinda hate it and wish it could last forever at the same time. I guess that’s White Space for you. Empty, lonely, cold, and with a lingering sensation that something isn’t quite right, but calm, safe and peaceful.
its denial, whitespace represents sunny denial of what happened, but not even whitespace is truly safe, because of the layout of the whitespace itself, its pretty clear he cant completely block what happened
Welcome to White Space. You've been living here for as long as you can remember. You have all the essentials that you need; A computer, a tissue box, a sketchbook and a black light bulb that hangs from your ceiling. You also have your cat, Mewo. Things are perfect here. There's no reason to be dissatisfied.
I only just now realized something. When listening to this I was always focused on the sound of the actual piano notes but now I can hear the distinct clacking of physically pressing down on each key. With each note you hear the realistic clack of the piano key and I think that really adds a lot.
@@cellogum I’d agree on that. I’m thinking that, in the context of the laptop’s purpose soon after, it’s a wall from Black Space. All throughout the prologue, the computer’s the same. It only changes after the first RW section. Something first appears, representing the leaking of Black Space into Headspace. Then it becomes the Hangman puzzle as the wall is torn down and the keys to Black Space are discovered. Also, something I just realized. I already heard of the correlation of keyboard keys (because it’s a laptop) to actual keys, since they’re keys to Black Space and keys to all the doors within Black Space. But what I realized is that the keys also represent the real world key. The one that opens the toy box with the violin. Both Black Space and the violin are reminders of the truth, so both fittingly have keys that lock them away, one is just more abstract and the other more literal.
A tune, sounds familiar and nostalgic, but at the same time it feel faraway, hazy. Like a memory you feel comming back, but it eludes you. Always on the tip of your tongue, but everytime you get close to remembering, you loop back into this feeling of haziness. Man, this games music is so good at lending itself to the narrative. 🚪
I love how the piece progresses from this odd but quirky 16 bit song like something you'd hear from your childhood, to a piano piece with uncertain, off-rhythm notes like a piece you tried to play growing up, and finally to a somber piano piece full of sadness. Like you've lost something you can never get back. And in Sunny's case, it was the sister he loved more than anyone else. Her thoughts have followed him into his dreams. Gently reminding him that it's time to wake up from this self imposed torment, and that there are people who still care about him.
TW: Attempted su*cide, grief, loss I almost took my life about 2 days ago and was immediately rushed to the hospital via ambulance. I don't remember much about the journey and how it all happened, but I remembered just going on autopilot for most of it. I was almost at the brink of finishing Omori, and maybe I couldn't have if my family hadn't found me. I'm what they would call "the perfect sister". Always looked up to, the responsible one, mature and sensible. I wasn't by all means a horrible person, but I always struggled with my mental health behind closed doors. Guilt always ate me up as my world began to grow darker with each passing day. I'm beginning to lose sight of who I was and what I've become. I'd always provide my siblings with reassurance and care. I didn't want them to suffer the way I do now. The weight of my burdens was too much, I didn't know what to do with these overwhelming feelings. I think, I understand what it means to grieve for a lost sibling. Because I'm the big sister that my siblings are never gonna have. I keep blaming myself for things beyond my control and I've always worried others because of my condition. Even if I've tried my best to give them everything, I can't seem to think that it's enough. As if I'm filling an a hole that's just an empty vortex. Losing a sibling is undescribable torment. Seeing your sibling lose a battle within themselves is purgatory. Being that sibling is like being hit with grief every single day. I don't want my siblings to go through what Sunny/Omori is going through. Seeing a conceptualized idea of grief over sibling death makes me too sad. It hits closer to home especially since he lost a big sister. I can't lose this battle now. But I still feel my chest tightening so much it hurts to breathe. EDIT: 27/07/2023 I'm still alive, guys! Also, wow, 2 years since my last comment huh? 4 years back, I was actually diagnosed with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and it made me realize why everyday living was so hard. I'm not going to go into details, but it's been a difficult life but I have grown to accept that past and move forwards the future. I'm actually doing well now and I intend to graduate with honors since I've been aiming for that even before making the comment above. As an teen turned adult who has gone through years of therapy, medication and self-reflection... I'll just say that time has made me wiser and the problems I'm facing are (mostly) well-rationalized with a sound mind. It's not always perfect or easy, but I have made peace with myself now. It wasn't okay when people used and abused me, so I made the decision of never betraying my body and my soul. And I know growing up is hard, but it's pretty dope too! Life ain't so bad when you don't focus too hard on what will get you down. Keep looking forward and protect your peace
@@Serenity_S3 this is the kindest response I could ever have. You're a gem and a wonderful person. Thank you for being thoughtful even if it's just words of comfort to another stranger :)
Things may not always turn out “perfect” no matter how hard you try, but sometimes, it’s better to have the result be a little off, than try to perfect it and ruin the whole thing on the spot. Take your time, just keep on breathing, and living. It will be ok in the end. Just keep on going and trying to do your best with life. Eventually, you’ll get through this. You have people who care for you, and they will try to help you. If you ever need to cry, then let it out. Don’t bottle up your feelings. Smile when you can, and keep fighting against the thoughts telling you to die. You can do this.
@@rhysthereddragon1326 you're so kind, man :") I hope most things have been well for you too. May your life be full of blessings and may your hard work bear its fruits. I appreciate your words and I'm still gonna keep living on even though it seems rough. We can do this.
I made up lyrics in my head and now whenever I hear the theme I can’t un-hear the lyrics (If your curious here they are) Mem-or-ies Mem-or-ies Mem-or-ies Don’t leave me But, life goes on Life goes on They’re all gone They’re all (and then repeats)
If you play games where you have to interact with in game characters,make friends with them,and feel attached to them even tho they aren't real,care for them and let them care for you, experience happiness and then let that pure feelings break against the reality,you can listen to this,and imagine that they are waiting for you,they do care,you have friends on the other side of your screen. To be honest,it makes me feel warm inside,tho it has a drop of sorrow, it still feels like home.
long vent nothing ever works out anymore. there's always a problem. here in white space i cant forget about those things. they just lay in my mind for me to stare at with utter hatred. they dont harm me. they dont comfort me. i stare at them and they stare at me. it feels empty and cold and like nothing ever will be okay. i always say everything will be okay and find ways to cope, but... every time im away from those things, i shatter. i cant live without hyperfixations or the little songs i write. everytime something helps me escape, a tragedy happens again, the hurt and pain and shame and loneliness comes around full circle regardless nothing ever works out anymore. there's always a problem. there's always me holding me back and other people making my life worse. i dont ever want to die and i dont wanna be alone forever...but... what's the point to keep going if it takes forever and only gets worse with every thing coming along? it'll end but it's so long and it's forever painful i wont forget about this stuff, but i want to. if i could just escape and forget everything would be okay but i cant do that. i never will. it sucks and i hate it more than anything else in the world. i dont wanna live. i dont wanna die. i dont wanna disappear. but i hate doing this over and over again. so unnoticed and disregarded to everything so ignored and flying under the radar no one knows me and i dont want them to know me but i want a friend i have no one and it's okay because i have myself i can talk to especially here. this music is soothing. whatever. even with this, nothing will change. it'll still be painful and take forever. whatever. whatever... just forget about me. i am of no concern to you. and i never will be. just go away the end...
A had a dream. ...A werid.... dream. It's about OMORI. Not the game itself, but the character. ...I opened my eyes, and I saw... him. Yea, It's kinda strange, but I was in a WHITE SPACE. I'm not trying to be cringe, but I really had a dream like that. OMORI was just staring at me, like he usually does. I was staring at him, too. But after a few moments, OMORI turned around and grabbed a Lightbulb. I asked: "What are you doing?" He didn't answered, but he looked at me. But then, OMORI said: "good morning." And then I woke up.
the feeling this ost gives is yet calm and creepy at the same time, i do consider it creepy because of how calming it is, i mean, it kinda gets you. i literally started thinking in a lot of things i've been through, and just started to say it out loud, the funny thing is that it is 4am right now, and i actually speak spanish, but i just got in a reflexive mood and started talking in english, saying everything i got in mind while listening to this. omori has one of the best osts, for real.
I have 2 theories. One: the reason this tune plays in white space and throughout headspace is because this is the theme that MARI would constantly play all day while practicing her piano, this simple medley that she would play all day and it got stuck in sunnys head because this theme reminded him of mari so much. Theory two: notice how the fridge was empty? How sunny had 30$ at the start of the game? If you do the omori route, you will notice that omori/sunny hasnt eaten in THREE DAYS! The reason that is because sunnys mom left him 30$ to spend at DINOS PIZZA at FARAWAY town. But sunny being a shut in refused to go out of the house so he hasnt eaten in 3 days.
I like how the metronome in the background mimics the sound of a grandfather clock, idk what this could mean lore-wise or whatever but it’s a neat detail nonetheless.
Woah I know Omori is named after the piano, but I realized that he's the same color as that piano as well. Could be coincidence since black and white can simply represent his emptiness, but I don't think it is. I mean if he shares the name, why not also the color palette?
Omori also means many things like "weight" or "kill" in other languages as well as being short for hikkikomori. Really it's just a great choice for a name with it being so relevant to who omori is
@@shadowboy2818 Considering music is the cause of the "tragedy", I guess this is just regrets finding its way one way or another. 2nd theory is the fact that white room is nothing BUT repressed memories of MARI. Omori being the piano makes sense in that context too
@@shadowboy2818 no i think hes scared of himself i mean he did kill his sister with a violin so thats gonna be some trauma and its pretty weird to go down bludgeoned by your younger brother with a violin
Kind of an odd story about that one: Omori started as a little webcomic like 10 years ago about a young adult named Omoriboy, who would later be redesigned as the comparatively innocent (and much younger) Omori. Omori uses the laptop exclusively for keeping a journal, and the tissues are "for wiping your sorrows away". Omoriboy, meanwhile, used the laptop and tissue for... exactly what you'd expect.
This is an amazing song, I could listen to it on loop for hours... which I did and will continue to do in the near future. The piano that plays in this song is very calming for me and the simple melody is great. Thanks OMO CAT for making an amazing game with one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard.
I hear this song whenever I'm in my room now. My room is also very small, plain and simple. Just a bed and a desk with a laptop on it. It gives me an empty feeling I've never felt before
I have body dysmorphia, and extremely bad anxiety and depression. I had a panic attack a moment ago. This is helping me clear my thoughts, i feel a bit better. I hope everything will be ok tomorrow. Games help, but can be suffocating to play sometimes. Reading is fun, but i have no drive to continue usually. Anime and cartoons are easy, but i don't get the chance usually. it feels like my life is kinda empty at the moment, i don't go to school anymore, i just graduated, so I'm stuck day in, day out, doing the same activities, when im not doing chores, I'm doing the same activities. When I'm not sleeping for over 10 hours into the afternoon. I'm aloof and confused about what to do with myself, until i cave in, and do the same activities. But I'll be fine for sure. I hope At least there are things i'm passionate about. But i need to start doing them more actively. It's hard to keep living without fear of losing everything that makes me happy. I listened to the whole video, doing nothing the whole time. I feel better now.
I am trying to cave myself out of the habit of sitting on a computer the whole day with doing nothing because i am too afraid to do anything else. its kinda lame but im trying ok
I feel so tired when I hear this, not in a sleepy way in a 'I'm done, let me go, I don't want to exist.' Kind of way. It doesn't exactly comfort me but I feel like it's a grounding sound, just the piano. I'm not sure just quite how explain this, it's just so different than what I normally feel while listening to music I kind of enjoy it but at the same time it gives me a sense of longing or wistful thinking I guess.
life is just so... weird and unfamiliar this year. and i don't know when anything's gonna be okay. and i don't want to stop being a kid, but i'm on the road to adulthood and it's scary because really i'm just a scared kid in her room. but this song helps me feel like everything is pulling together slightly
"welcome to white space. You've been living here for as long as you remember." meow? "waiting for something to happen?" A Laptop for keeping track. A tissue box for wiping your sorrows away. A sketchbook to write on. A black lightbulb. you cant see through it. A white door. go in? Yes
I came here for calming music and than I see the comments talking about how depressing this is in their opinion. While I'm here listening to this for sleep 😭
The fact that the white space resembles most of mari's stuff, with it being a safe space for sunny/omori judt tells how much he loved her and god the guilt of accidentally killing her is drowning.
es la forma en que toca las teclas, demasiado fuerte, como si estuviera aprendiendo a tocar apenas, lo cual va de la mano con la historia detrás de todo el juego
the music is hollow. it only has one instrument and a simple melody, but each note feels so empty and sickeningly warm, as if you're being welcomed into a place you don't belong. it makes me feel kinda hollowed out, like all my feelings and attachments and hopes are gone. like im just existing, not living nor surviving, like ive given up on even moving. ive completed my journey, now it's time to shut down.
if you ask me, this music sounds like that feeling when youre losing your sense of self, whether it be to bend yourself to others liking or to your vision of what you should be like, in both circumstances, ultimately, youll feel,, a certain emptiness. a nostalgia for the younger "you" though you cannot fully remember that "you", you just know it was easier back then what happened? (this is kinda a vent but also very much my take on this music)
I haven't played this game yet but... The vibe this is giving me is... Hopeful yet guilty grief... As if something happened that you couldn't control but you're still holding out hope that one day... Something good will happen.
The more sunny is in white space, the more he hurts himself. Not to mention, the background music is the piano only. The instrument his sister played. No other instruments, just piano is played here. It's sinister...
OMORI’s outfit is based on Mari’s piano, not just the name. The black tank-top and white/black shorts represent the piano keys, which goes along with the rest of his monochrome body.
Holy frick it makes so much sense. I’ve always wondered why there were stripes on his pants
Damn I just thought he was black and white bc he was sad 😶
@@ayyce8634 chad mentality
Sunny really loved his sister dearly
Holy shit, this game has so many little details. Will we ever find them all out???
its... nostalgic. like a fragment of childhood you desperatly want to hold onto.
Memories of the past that you can never come back to...
@Pudding Man Spoilers
I kinda feel like he wanted to hold onto his childhood but forget everything leading up to Mari's death. When you look at the photo album in the dream world, anything involving the recital or piano (something Sunny really didn't wanna do and is what led to Mari's death) is conveniently left out. I think the white space itself is him trying to forget everything outside of his room and the dream world is him pretending that the good times were the only thing that actually happened
@Pudding Man Mmm very true. Perhaps white space is more of a culmination of all those picnics but devoid of any joy, but he remains in there because it’s what he’s most attached to regarding Mari and his friends. Hence the hands dragging him back every time he goes out
Sopilers?
That's what the game is about right?
It is very fitting
Yeah, I totally agree. The music feels so nostalgic even though i haven’t heard about omori for even a week
I pity the people who won’t have the chance to play this game before it blows up and spoilers are everywhere.
Same
hi ;-;
Lol we have the same pic
Hi, I'm people who played after being spoiled.
This was me. If i dont lock myself out if the internet, i get curious and spoil games. I hate myself lmao
I love how its pure piano playing. Mari's big thing was her piano and its the only sounds he can think of, and the whole space is centered around mari. Picnic layout, piano, her cat, his name is her piano. Omori. For four years that was his life. Thinking all about mari. How he doesn't deserve to get to be with his friends because of what he did to someone who loved him so much. Vice versa. Heartbreaking.
Ps the lightbulb squiggles look like the monster tentacles in some fight scene/mari's hair being black and ragged when she was y'know. Kinda symbolizing her as the light of his life but at the same time someone who darkened his soul hence it being a black lightbulb.
thank you for sharing this
Darkbulb
Indeed.
ohmygod you damn genius ily
Kinda the opposite of the OMORI track which is all violin. And this feels peaceful albeit with hints of sadness sprinkled all over whereas OMORI feels like all that sadness is exploding out of Sunny
A friend pointed this out to me, but notice how the layout of white space is EXACTLY the same as Mari's picnic?
OMG YOU'RE RIGHT EVEN THE PICNIC BASKET/LAPTOP, THE FULL HEAL/TISSUES AND THE SKETCHBOOK/PICNIC

I love the detail of how in the true route, the white space theme progressed from 8-bit to piano as Sunny gets closer to the truth, while in the hikikomori route it stays 8-bit.
Ramble alert:
I had a dream about white space even though I've never played or watched a play through of this game, it was a little dimension where everyone who joined it would get a buddy to hang out with in white space and you could create anything you can imagine and white space was like this bunch of white corridors and it was kinda comforting?
I asked my buddy at one point if they wanted to go for a walk and they stood up and said "sure, thats all we really do anyways." and then we started walking around the halls. This is probably one of my favourite dreams idk why
At least your dreams actually make sense when the dream I had about omori involved space boyfriend being a chocolate lego set
@@LanieMae i mean the reason I liked it was probably because its the only one that did make sense
You made me remember that when I was a child I used to fear the void but the void that I thought looked like a white space, I hated to think about it, I believed that one day the universe would remain like this, without any change, predictable, sure, a place where it is impossible to die but that kills you inside. I remember when I was from the Undertale fandom, the story of Ink Sans reminded me too much of that and it was one of the reasons I stayed in the community. now I just have to laugh at those nights when I couldn't sleep, how I got sick just thinking about it.
Damn lucid dreaming can sure be interesting.
Once, I did not dream, but then I dreamed, it literally was me looking at nothing, *close your eyes* (pun kinda intended) and that's it, nothing... just a black space, but then on this black space I was chilling around I look on my shoulder and there's a fricking spider biting me and ohh the shoulder is super red and big because of the bite, what a nice welcome to my own little space (of course I woke up immediately and it was daytime, so idk if I was dreaming before that or it was just nothing and then I dreamed)
The phrase "waiting for something to happen" reminds me of hypervigilance and how dissociation is a way to cope with that. it's like a mental safe space to retreat to for when you feel something bad is happening. Living in a shell inside of yourself is like building a wall between you and the world around you. It's like existing in your own safe little corner where nobody can hurt you-- not because you or others are bad-- but because you cease to exist. there is nothing happening. there is no life, no rules, no movement... it's time out. an escape. your memories are detached from your existence, and you are just passing through. your ego is like watercolor, bleeding into the world around you. you become entirely separate yet unified. it's like you exist inside of a dream-- one that will be over at any second. and everything will become nothing. the past only exists in the present, and the future is not guaranteed. everything you've ever known becomes irrelevant because it can disappear along with you at any moment.
This song feels like the foggy cotton sensation that shields my brain when I'm dissociating. it's a false sense of security, but I'm finally void of emotion. there is no crying, no flinching. it's like sleeping with your eyes open, except there's no active stream of consciousness. it's just static. maybe a few phrases, things like "this isn't happening", "I'm not really here right now", "I'll wake up soon", etc. but you don't think about your senses. they're shut down. your vision is blurred, staring at nothing in particular. things don't hurt as bad. you can feel the pressure but the pain is gone. words sound like pebbles gently cascading into a pond. your emotions run flat. you're a blank canvas, an organism in an observation tank.
on the other hand, this song sounds like a lullaby. Sunny had to dissociate from himself because he believes that he is fundamentally evil for what he did. He compartmentalized the good parts of him to fit his black and white perspective. This song sounds like Omori/Sunny trying to self-soothe.
this makes me feel something but yet nothing
I'm 11 and this is deep
So... what you're trying to say is, it makes you feel empty. That's a very strange way to put it :/
more like [SOMETHING]
UppinDown it’s not like only emptiness, it’s more like the beginning of feelings induct by music but those feelings, emotions or anything else doesn’t come out. It’s a mix, to be synthetic, of hollowness and trapped feelings.
@@il_tristo_mewtitore8621 That's.. what emptiness feels like. Emptiness just feels like something is constantly off, like uh, butterflies in the stomach but more subtle. That feeling when your cousins leave after a long visit or when an online friend logs out.

I love how even in the dream world, Mari's hold is still there. From the piano music, from 'something' always following you. It shows guilt in it's truest rawest form. "You loved her, and you killed her." It's your fault- and yet it's not, because life isn't black and white. Life isn't the white space or the black space. Life is a tangible dream. Wake up, and grasp what you have before it's gone. Before it tumbles down and shatters, just like Mari did.
"before it tumbles down"
i-
@@moonnpie Mari was the real world, Sunny was the dream world. Mari felt comfort in her dreams and the people she met in the real world- but Sunny couldn't find that same comfort and kept to himself. Mari's music and voice was silenced forever, but it still leaks into Sunny's head in the form of dream her where nothing happened. Sunny needs to come into grips with his guilt, otherwise he'll tumble down too- just like Mari did. He will shatter, just like his violin did, and there will be no fixing or hiding it this time.
also the square in the white space is arranged like the picnics mari did. the laptop ist the picnic basket for example
its really sad when you think about what mari used to play

I think more than anything, this takes me back to my first day at the psych ward. Everything feels safe and sterile. But not free. Trapped. A place where you’re provided for and kept as content as possible but you can’t really leave when you want to. In a lot of ways it’s just like childhood.
Yeah , feels save but not free huh (︶^︶)
psych ward..?
@@ellennovo4450 "Psychiatric hospitals, also known as mental health hospitals, and mental health units, are hospitals or wards specializing in the treatment of serious mental disorders, such as major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Psychiatric hospitals vary widely in their size and grading."
👍i hope this clears it up ^^
thinking about it now, white space really does remind me a lot of the pysch ward. a place to survive, but not a place to live.
The fact that it's actual gameplay footage, that someone is standing behind the screen and moving, looking, waiting... It feels like it's OMORI itself, it's typical day in white space. When you open the notepad on the pc you get his shedule. Play with friends, spend here a forever alone... Because he doesn't want to progress. He doesn't want to leave, knowing that there will be a day the truth would come out, and that it won't be here, it will be there. But he can't just sit here forever. After all, there is only one darkbulb, and it's getting stronger, beginning to burn out. But when it's done...
There would be nothing left to hide with
I see a lot of comments talking about how this place and theme give off a feeling of emptiness and hopelessness and things like that, and I can definitely see that. But to me, it all feels very comforting. Like, the theme and white space as a whole give off a feeling of safety and comfort, like the entire outside world doesn’t matter right now, and you can just relish in the nothingness. And that’s the entire point of white space, a place for Sunny to go to where he can just forget and ignore all of the trauma he’s gone through and just like, exist peacefully.
I feel like it gives me an unease but still feels comforting somehow lol
yeah, no unease or anything. I don’t understand honestly with all of the unease everyone else is talking about even when i tried to.
@@WONDERHO111 yah thats totally fine!
The uneasiness probably comes from a few things, imo.
The fact that yes, white space is his escape.
But it also caused him to miss so much bc white space is just in his head, it's an escape but an ignorant route of escape, really.
Everyone needs some form of escape, but this probably caused just as much damage all while helping him get through everything.
Especially with context of the story. He's hiding from his trauma, not facing it. He's hiding from family, friends, any type of reminder, and instead he's in this blank area, where he can only do the same things over and over again, with this music that reminds many of us of his deep trauma and problems.
From outside perspective with no context. U see everything in black and white, a single, simple ringing tone/melody echoing in ur ear, a boy who just stands there, and text box that seem just as empty as the room.
I can see that coming off as uneasy, or at least eerie.
For myself, this song is perfect for me in most situations. It does have a slightly eerie tone to it, but it's comforting and soft, all while matching or even enhancing the empty feeling I often have.
for me it makes me feel at peace like a lulleby to make me sleep and relax but sad and the same time
This sounds so hopeless
the word I was looking for
junko?
@@masterxisde6495 Perhaps.
....oh, no, not again
Hopelessness wouldn't exist if there was no despair in the first place...
It’s strange. I feel guilt for something I didn’t do. I’ve never met Mari personally and it would be impossible to do so because she doesn’t exist physically in this universe, and even if she did, I’d have no relation to her. I have never played this game, I watched a play through. Yet, I feel the guilt, I feel as though I am responsible. All of Sunny’s feelings were projected directly onto all of us. I guess that’s the curse we get for witnessing it. Mari’s curse.
surely is because we saw the good times mari has with her friends and sunny and how deeply she loved them and they loved her too
@@darak4771 And so we felt the love too
Same with me, games like this one cast a spell on us, I don't think it's healthy. We feel emotions we're not supposed to, over pixels on the screen.
@@kseniyazarubina5484 Now Mari is in my own headspace and she’s questioning why I have so many Jaffa cakes
@@kseniyazarubina5484 is it really unhealthy, I think it only gives u more emotions or idk I really don’t, it’s weird, I’ve not gotten that far, feeling guilty, I just love Mari, and wonder how it would be having her here idk, or actually missing her
“My thoughts will follow you into your dreams.”
Even when he tries to forget her, Mari is always there for Sunny.

I think just listening to this song is the best way to feel absolutely nothing, just an empty, hollow feeling.
Honestly as somebody who struggles with emotions, I use this to calm down from extreme rages, manic episodes, panic attacks, etc. That or when im numb (quite a bit) I can feel calm and relaxed to this.

Waiting. Waiting for something to change, for the feelings of the past to re-emerge in all their glory. Waiting for the day you can look people you care about in the eye and be honest with them, when they'll accept you for who you are, for what you've done. Waiting for the day the old you comes back. But they never do. They never will. You'll always be waiting.
Waiting for something to happen.
This music makes me feel safe, but not a 'safe and secure' kind of safe but more of a 'safe for now' kind of safe. Like, something is definitely protecting and watching over me but in an eerie kinda way.
A comment above already said this, but this music makes me feel. Definitely not a good feeling, but it’s something nonetheless.
If I had to describe it, it’d be a hollowness far more empty beyond anything else I’ve ever felt before. This is one of those games I wish I could forget and experience for the first time over and over again.
Edit: Damn y'all, this is probably my most successful comment ever. Thank you. To add on to what I already said and with new information i found, I feel like this piece plays in place of the 8-bit sounding-one almost as if Sunny is realizing he can't go on pretending, and is the grief that accompanies the truth is kinda bleeding into his headspace (if you're going for the true ending, that is).
It gives you as you say hollow feeling, or an empty feeling with a touch of Guilt
@@Aquil_eee Perhaps a pinch of regret.
Wait... I'm 11* and this is deep
i'd describe it in a way like it's trying to comfort you but definitely not working.
@@supremeoverlord0 a bit of remorse if you will
This makes me feel terribly empty and cold.
It’s calm on one side but so, so lonely.
I don’t know if it’s a thing everyone does, but when I hear music I divide the notes between “cold notes” and “warm notes”
These seem mostly like cold notes to me, and that contributes in how it makes me feel.
And ooh damn I kinda hate it and wish it could last forever at the same time.
I guess that’s White Space for you.
Empty, lonely, cold, and with a lingering sensation that something isn’t quite right, but calm, safe and peaceful.
White space is simply neutral.
its denial, whitespace represents sunny denial of what happened, but not even whitespace is truly safe, because of the layout of the whitespace itself, its pretty clear he cant completely block what happened

i feel so comfy when i hear this song i dont know why but even in the game i loved it
The sound of safeness, yet creeping madness.
Oh hey, its “NO! THATS WRONG!”
Execution
*I AGREE WITH THAT!*
I only just now realized something. When listening to this I was always focused on the sound of the actual piano notes but now I can hear the distinct clacking of physically pressing down on each key. With each note you hear the realistic clack of the piano key and I think that really adds a lot.
i also noticed it, it's a nice little detail
ok, but am I the only person that is confused on, how of all THINGS OMORI COULD HAVE CHOSEN FOR HIS BG ON HIS PC HE CHOSE A FRICKEN BRICK WALL
ikr
because its his computer's "wall"paper. guess omori/sunny took "wallpaper" literally
Maybe, it represents how white space is the wall between dream world and reality.
It's kinda like that brick maze screensaver on the old '98 computers
@@cellogum I’d agree on that. I’m thinking that, in the context of the laptop’s purpose soon after, it’s a wall from Black Space. All throughout the prologue, the computer’s the same.
It only changes after the first RW section. Something first appears, representing the leaking of Black Space into Headspace. Then it becomes the Hangman puzzle as the wall is torn down and the keys to Black Space are discovered.
Also, something I just realized. I already heard of the correlation of keyboard keys (because it’s a laptop) to actual keys, since they’re keys to Black Space and keys to all the doors within Black Space.
But what I realized is that the keys also represent the real world key. The one that opens the toy box with the violin. Both Black Space and the violin are reminders of the truth, so both fittingly have keys that lock them away, one is just more abstract and the other more literal.
This song makes me feel like I'm wrapped in a blanket but I'm still so cold, so I try to wrap it tighter around myself but I only get colder
How can a song be both comforting and haunting at the same time?
Me hearing the theme:
My mind: *welcome to the white space*
*you have been here for as long as you can remember*
A tune, sounds familiar and nostalgic, but at the same time it feel faraway, hazy.
Like a memory you feel comming back, but it eludes you. Always on the tip of your tongue, but everytime you get close to remembering, you loop back into this feeling of haziness.
Man, this games music is so good at lending itself to the narrative. 🚪
Does anyone else feel like crying when they hear this?
yeah
feels like running to a dream, but forget what you're running from.
You ruined everything, you split your friends apart and ruined a beautiful thing. She's never coming back.

And you are just a bleach. You will never graduate from uni. You will never marry. You are but a bleach.
I love how the piece progresses from this odd but quirky 16 bit song like something you'd hear from your childhood, to a piano piece with uncertain, off-rhythm notes like a piece you tried to play growing up, and finally to a somber piano piece full of sadness. Like you've lost something you can never get back.
And in Sunny's case, it was the sister he loved more than anyone else. Her thoughts have followed him into his dreams. Gently reminding him that it's time to wake up from this self imposed torment, and that there are people who still care about him.
fun fact did you know if you are idle for a long period of time in whitespace omori sits down and (I can only guess) sleep?

TW: Attempted su*cide, grief, loss
I almost took my life about 2 days ago and was immediately rushed to the hospital via ambulance. I don't remember much about the journey and how it all happened, but I remembered just going on autopilot for most of it. I was almost at the brink of finishing Omori, and maybe I couldn't have if my family hadn't found me.
I'm what they would call "the perfect sister". Always looked up to, the responsible one, mature and sensible. I wasn't by all means a horrible person, but I always struggled with my mental health behind closed doors. Guilt always ate me up as my world began to grow darker with each passing day. I'm beginning to lose sight of who I was and what I've become. I'd always provide my siblings with reassurance and care. I didn't want them to suffer the way I do now. The weight of my burdens was too much, I didn't know what to do with these overwhelming feelings.
I think, I understand what it means to grieve for a lost sibling. Because I'm the big sister that my siblings are never gonna have. I keep blaming myself for things beyond my control and I've always worried others because of my condition. Even if I've tried my best to give them everything, I can't seem to think that it's enough. As if I'm filling an a hole that's just an empty vortex.
Losing a sibling is undescribable torment. Seeing your sibling lose a battle within themselves is purgatory. Being that sibling is like being hit with grief every single day.
I don't want my siblings to go through what Sunny/Omori is going through. Seeing a conceptualized idea of grief over sibling death makes me too sad. It hits closer to home especially since he lost a big sister.
I can't lose this battle now.
But I still feel my chest tightening so much it hurts to breathe.
EDIT: 27/07/2023
I'm still alive, guys!
Also, wow, 2 years since my last comment huh?
4 years back, I was actually diagnosed with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and it made me realize why everyday living was so hard. I'm not going to go into details, but it's been a difficult life but I have grown to accept that past and move forwards the future. I'm actually doing well now and I intend to graduate with honors since I've been aiming for that even before making the comment above.
As an teen turned adult who has gone through years of therapy, medication and self-reflection... I'll just say that time has made me wiser and the problems I'm facing are (mostly) well-rationalized with a sound mind. It's not always perfect or easy, but I have made peace with myself now. It wasn't okay when people used and abused me, so I made the decision of never betraying my body and my soul.
And I know growing up is hard, but it's pretty dope too!

Things may not always turn out “perfect” no matter how hard you try, but sometimes, it’s better to have the result be a little off, than try to perfect it and ruin the whole thing on the spot. Take your time, just keep on breathing, and living. It will be ok in the end. Just keep on going and trying to do your best with life. Eventually, you’ll get through this. You have people who care for you, and they will try to help you. If you ever need to cry, then let it out. Don’t bottle up your feelings. Smile when you can, and keep fighting against the thoughts telling you to die. You can do this.

To be honest,it makes me feel warm inside,tho it has a drop of sorrow, it still feels like home.
long vent
nothing ever works out anymore.
there's always a problem.
here in white space i cant forget about those things.
they just lay in my mind for me to stare at with utter hatred.
they dont harm me. they dont comfort me.
i stare at them and they stare at me.
it feels empty and cold and like nothing ever will be okay.
i always say everything will be okay and find ways to cope, but...
every time im away from those things, i shatter. i cant live without hyperfixations or the little songs i write.
everytime something helps me escape, a tragedy happens again, the hurt and pain and shame and loneliness comes around full circle regardless
nothing ever works out anymore.
there's always a problem.
there's always me holding me back and other people making my life worse.
i dont ever want to die and i dont wanna be alone forever...but...
what's the point to keep going if it takes forever and only gets worse with every thing coming along?
it'll end but it's so long and it's forever painful
i wont forget about this stuff, but i want to. if i could just escape and forget everything would be okay
but i cant do that. i never will. it sucks and i hate it more than anything else in the world.
i dont wanna live. i dont wanna die. i dont wanna disappear. but i hate doing this over and over again.
so unnoticed and disregarded to everything
so ignored and flying under the radar
no one knows me and i dont want them to know me but i want a friend
i have no one and it's okay because i have myself i can talk to
especially here. this music is soothing.
whatever. even with this, nothing will change. it'll still be painful and take forever.
whatever. whatever... just forget about me. i am of no concern to you. and i never will be.
just go away
the end...
this has the same energy as that episode in spongebob when squidward ends up in the void with the words "alone" echoing. true loneliness.
A had a dream. ...A werid.... dream.
It's about OMORI.
Not the game itself, but the character.
...I opened my eyes, and I saw... him.
Yea, It's kinda strange, but I was in a WHITE SPACE.
I'm not trying to be cringe, but I really had a dream like that.
OMORI was just staring at me, like he usually does.
I was staring at him, too.
But after a few moments, OMORI turned around and grabbed a Lightbulb.
I asked: "What are you doing?"
He didn't answered, but he looked at me.
But then, OMORI said:
"good morning."
And then I woke up.
the feeling this ost gives is yet calm and creepy at the same time, i do consider it creepy because of how calming it is, i mean, it kinda gets you. i literally started thinking in a lot of things i've been through, and just started to say it out loud, the funny thing is that it is 4am right now, and i actually speak spanish, but i just got in a reflexive mood and started talking in english, saying everything i got in mind while listening to this. omori has one of the best osts, for real.
I have 2 theories. One: the reason this tune plays in white space and throughout headspace is because this is the theme that MARI would constantly play all day while practicing her piano, this simple medley that she would play all day and it got stuck in sunnys head because this theme reminded him of mari so much. Theory two: notice how the fridge was empty? How sunny had 30$ at the start of the game? If you do the omori route, you will notice that omori/sunny hasnt eaten in THREE DAYS! The reason that is because sunnys mom left him 30$ to spend at DINOS PIZZA at FARAWAY town. But sunny being a shut in refused to go out of the house so he hasnt eaten in 3 days.
I like the detail of how the keys are being slammed down almost as if it's his utopia being unable to block out the truth as it gets louder and louder
I like how the metronome in the background mimics the sound of a grandfather clock, idk what this could mean lore-wise or whatever but it’s a neat detail nonetheless.
this song looks like a very faint circle, like a blank screen but if you look close enough you see it.
Woah
I know Omori is named after the piano, but I realized that he's the same color as that piano as well. Could be coincidence since black and white can simply represent his emptiness, but I don't think it is. I mean if he shares the name, why not also the color palette?
Omori also means many things like "weight" or "kill" in other languages as well as being short for hikkikomori. Really it's just a great choice for a name with it being so relevant to who omori is
i still wonder why sunny made his alter ego based on mari's piano of all things. Isn't he scared of the piano?
@@shadowboy2818 Considering music is the cause of the "tragedy", I guess this is just regrets finding its way one way or another.
2nd theory is the fact that white room is nothing BUT repressed memories of MARI. Omori being the piano makes sense in that context too

Kind of an odd story about that one: Omori started as a little webcomic like 10 years ago about a young adult named Omoriboy, who would later be redesigned as the comparatively innocent (and much younger) Omori. Omori uses the laptop exclusively for keeping a journal, and the tissues are "for wiping your sorrows away". Omoriboy, meanwhile, used the laptop and tissue for... exactly what you'd expect.
ask omoriboy that instead bruh

I hear this song whenever I'm in my room now. My room is also very small, plain and simple. Just a bed and a desk with a laptop on it. It gives me an empty feeling I've never felt before
If your afk in the same spot long enough, OMORI will sit.
this song makes me feel something, but its so empty and hollow…….
like the purpose of this room.
This helps me to do my homework peacefully.
This is my coping music :')
Reminds me of how my mother tells me to grow up
I guess my problems are just childish to her
This makes me feels really safe and I don't know why, it's great
I have body dysmorphia, and extremely bad anxiety and depression. I had a panic attack a moment ago. This is helping me clear my thoughts, i feel a bit better. I hope everything will be ok tomorrow. Games help, but can be suffocating to play sometimes. Reading is fun, but i have no drive to continue usually. Anime and cartoons are easy, but i don't get the chance usually.
it feels like my life is kinda empty at the moment, i don't go to school anymore, i just graduated, so I'm stuck day in, day out, doing the same activities, when im not doing chores, I'm doing the same activities. When I'm not sleeping for over 10 hours into the afternoon. I'm aloof and confused about what to do with myself, until i cave in, and do the same activities. But I'll be fine for sure.
I hope
At least there are things i'm passionate about. But i need to start doing them more actively. It's hard to keep living without fear of losing everything that makes me happy. I listened to the whole video, doing nothing the whole time. I feel better now.
I am trying to cave myself out of the habit of sitting on a computer the whole day with doing nothing because i am too afraid to do anything else. its kinda lame but im trying ok
This sounds so comforting, yet somehow lonely and nostalgic at the same time
The emotions feel more overwhelming the longer the music plays
Feels empty, yet comforting. Pretty much how i feel these pass few months
A feeling which youv seem to know but can't remember
I haven't even finished the game and I just cried through almost this entire thing.
gives me a feeling of hollowness, giving into the way of the world, bitter serenity, quiet, empty but accepting
I going to try to learn lucid dreaming so I can vist my own white space
idk man i dont think you should be trying that
This helps me focus and is very calming.
I feel so tired when I hear this, not in a sleepy way in a 'I'm done, let me go, I don't want to exist.' Kind of way.
It doesn't exactly comfort me but I feel like it's a grounding sound, just the piano. I'm not sure just quite how explain this, it's just so different than what I normally feel while listening to music I kind of enjoy it but at the same time it gives me a sense of longing or wistful thinking I guess.
life is just so... weird and unfamiliar this year. and i don't know when anything's gonna be okay. and i don't want to stop being a kid, but i'm on the road to adulthood and it's scary because really i'm just a scared kid in her room.
but this song helps me feel like everything is pulling together slightly
it makes me feel so safe and comfortable somehow-
"welcome to white space. You've been living here for as long as you remember."
meow? "waiting for something to happen?"
A Laptop for keeping track.
A tissue box for wiping your sorrows away.
A sketchbook to write on.
A black lightbulb. you cant see through it.
A white door. go in?
Yes
Stab who?
Your story is already over. Only the pieces still lie where they fell.
I came here for calming music and than I see the comments talking about how depressing this is in their opinion. While I'm here listening to this for sleep 😭
I remember when hearing this i loved it because its just ahhh
"ahhhh" best description of a ost ever lol
Feels like I've been here for as long as I can remember
The fact that the white space resembles most of mari's stuff, with it being a safe space for sunny/omori judt tells how much he loved her and god the guilt of accidentally killing her is drowning.
Estamos todos de acuerdo que esto es genial, ¿verdad?
Amo como suena a piano pero distorcionado o algo así
Es literalmente como suena un piano común y corriente, solo que al haber un delay entre cada tecla, es más fácil sentir la resonancia
Me encanta la melodia
es la forma en que toca las teclas, demasiado fuerte, como si estuviera aprendiendo a tocar apenas, lo cual va de la mano con la historia detrás de todo el juego
This was exactly what I was searching for, thanks!
the music is hollow. it only has one instrument and a simple melody, but each note feels so empty and sickeningly warm, as if you're being welcomed into a place you don't belong.
it makes me feel kinda hollowed out, like all my feelings and attachments and hopes are gone. like im just existing, not living nor surviving, like ive given up on even moving. ive completed my journey, now it's time to shut down.
I might be the only one, but I find the song very appeasing
It makes me feel safe
me too
if you ask me, this music sounds like that feeling when youre losing your sense of self, whether it be to bend yourself to others liking or to your vision of what you should be like, in both circumstances, ultimately, youll feel,, a certain emptiness. a nostalgia for the younger "you" though you cannot fully remember that "you", you just know it was easier back then
what happened?
(this is kinda a vent but also very much my take on this music)
i love how you can hear the piano keys being played, nice little detail!
You mean that thumping sound?
sometimes i lay down in the middle of my bed, all lights off, with this playing, its oddly comforting
I haven't played this game yet but... The vibe this is giving me is... Hopeful yet guilty grief... As if something happened that you couldn't control but you're still holding out hope that one day... Something good will happen.
The more sunny is in white space, the more he hurts himself.
Not to mention, the background music is the piano only. The instrument his sister played. No other instruments, just piano is played here.
It's sinister...
back here 8 months later still listening to it i love this song so much
Had an emotional breakdown to this and it was maybe the most healthy cry I've had in a while.
It’s really heartbreaking because of especially the piano that Mari taught everyone to play
