OMORI/Unused Graphics/Characters

This is a sub-page of OMORI/Unused Graphics.

To do: Plenty.

OMORI

The character OMORI has two unused images of what looks like the BLACK SPACE title screen, but separated into two different parts: one of his face and the other of his shadow. If both images are combined, the image creates the BLACK SPACE title screen, albeit only a single frame. Due to how dark his shadow is, this image is most likely from earlier in development, where the title screen of BLACK SPACE had a much darker shadow.

  Both images combined.

SUNNY

SUNNY has a single unused portrait stored in MARI's spritesheet. It appears to be a paler version of SUNNY, and it doesn't have much of a resemblance to any of his battle portraits. Notably, this portrait is called in a commented-out cutscene meant for the Good Ending. This portrait resembles a sketch that OMOCAT showed off in 2016.

Job Outfits

SUNNY also has job outfits that don't go used in-game.

Female SUNNY

In early stages of development, the option to choose SUNNY's/OMORI's gender was planned. This feature was largely scrapped, and only OMORI can turn into the opposite gender via the MYSTERY POTION. However, sprites of SUNNY with pigtails still remain inside the files.

AUBREY

The image on the left shows an unused sprite sheet, presumably meant for a picnic cutscene in Faraway Town. The GIF on the right is a mockup of what the animation might have looked like in motion.

MARI

Portraits

MARI has a full set of unused portraits for her appearance in the sequence before entering DEEP WELL for the first time. In-game, this spirit-like MARI only has one line of dialogue during the aforementioned sequence, and the portrait used has black eyes with white pupils.

Overworld

Similar to the portraits, spirit MARI also has a set of unused overworld sprites. The sprite sheet contains sprites for her moving both left and right. The idle for both animations would be used in certain places in-game, with left being when MARI checks on you during the final SOMETHING encounter, and the right when MARI turns to leave the DEEP WELL.

• 

Strangely, there is an unused animation of MARI transforming into SOMETHING. This is different from what's seen in the animation of the 10th HANGMAN KEY, as MARI is seen standing instead of being in a hole. Presumably, it was cut in order to avoid revealing MARI's connection to SOMETHING too early.

• 

There are also unused sprites of MARI playing the piano, similar to how the HEADSPACE heroes play the keyboard in CAPT. SPACEBOY's house. These sprites also include the stool merged with the animation, with the stool also being brighter than the stool seen in-game while MARI plays the piano.

BASIL

Portraits

Portraits of FARAWAY BASIL looking especially angry can be found amongst his other portraits, both with and without his flower. Even during his most emotional moments, these portraits are never used.

Other unused portraits of FARAWAY BASIL show him with a dark shadow over his face.

There are also portraits of HEADSPACE BASIL in the dark, which are never used.

Overworld

There exist sprites of FARAWAY BASIL with his camera, even though in he never uses it in the final game.

This sprite of BASIL huddled up in despair was shown on the official OMORI's social media accounts prior to the game's launch. Although it never appears in the final release, it can still be found in his spritesheet, along with a night-time variant.

Curiously, there are sprites of BASIL nodding and shaking his head, suggesting he was intended to be playable at one point during development.

Alongside that, sprites of him stabbing himself with a knife, similarly to SUNNY. They appear to be unfinished, as the animation ends before he plunges the knife into his chest.

One of Basil's sprite sheets contains several black-and-white sprites, which look similar to those for Omori or Mari's spirit form.

Miscellaneous

Portraits

An early drawing of a SPIDER CAT, stored in the game's directory for character portraits as "00_BLANK." Moreover, this design seems to be the design of the SPIDER CAT enemy, which is an enemy that goes unused in the final release of the game.

On a similar note to portraits, there also exists this, neat, portrait of all of AUBREY, KEL, and HERO's HEADSPACE portraits merged into one image. A similar image can be found in the sketchbook found in BLACK SPACE, however, that image is merged with the rest of the sketchbook drawings, while this image is here on its own.

FARAWAY TOWN Emotions

In the FARAWAY TOWN segments of the game, the Emotion mechanic is scarcely used. Nonetheless, unique sprites exist for all applicable party members. SUNNY and KEL can sometimes get SAD and ANGRY in certain battles, with KEL and HERO having the ability to become HAPPY through the use of the Orange Joe and Hero Sandwich items respectively.

Stranger

Basil's grandmother appears as a 'Stranger' in-game, but these greyscale sprites aren't used. The increasingly lighter sprites were presumably part of a fading animation.

FARAWAY TOWN Enemies

An enemy sprite sheet for Faraway Town, showing the unused 'Crow' and 'Stray Dog' enemies. Due to a bug, the crow is sometimes loaded into the game instead of the 'recycultist' NPC sprites to its right.

Sleepover

Sprites of the OMORI cast sleeping in broad daylight and in the afternoon, found at the bottom of both FA_InteriorTileset.png and FA_sunset_interior.png respectively. As seen in the game, the OMORI cast only ever sleep with these blankets during the night, as the sleepover at BASIL's house only occurs at night.

Thank You

Strangely, there exists a sprite sheet of everyone you are able to meet in FARAWAY TOWN, plus a saddened/angered grey-scale counterpart. According to the naming of this file stating "FA_thank_you.png", this may have been used during the Hospital segment where the player is awarded flowers based on how many side-quests they have done in FARAWAY TOWN. Along with it, there also exists a 'platform' texture intended for this scene according to its filename, which prominents a black image with a single "spotlight" in the middle.

BLACK SPACE Scribble NPC

A sprite sheet of one of BLACK SPACE's NPCs, oddly inside the pictures folder. Interestingly, its filename doesn't seem to utilize the "$" prefix that a sprite sheet arranged in this form would need to have.
