Composed by Pedro Silva.

“So this is the life you chose. I wonder, can this even be called living?”

[InternationalBoardsOfPigeons]

I love how blatantly insulting this song sounds.
like "okay lil baby boy no more scary-wary monsters gonna hurt u, heres ur cookies n milk now go nap nap time"

[ckowkay]

I love how in this game, the bright and colorful choice is actually the darker one

[toasty]

Even if you didn’t play the hikik route you CAN TELL this doesn’t sounds right even if it sounds so happy... that’s what I love abt the soundtrack in this game

[steel]

I just realized something about this scene.

When you leave Black Space with Basil in the Hikikkomori route, you leave through the back of The Church of Something (which has an extremely similar layout to the Faraway church). And in the scene this song plays in, everyone is sleeping, right?

In the real world, when you exit the church through the back it takes you to the graveyard.

Oh shit.

[steph]

I know the whole scene as this song plays is symbolic of Sunny lying to himself, but seeing everyone sleeping peacefully and the yellow cat saying “You are safe with me” was so adorable... I wanted to believe it was a better ending than it actually was...

[ghostcoffee]

There are times where I’d be driving and think about this existential nightmare. Sunny never will see his real friends. He still sees them as children. He will never get over his sister’s death. He still thinks she’s alive. The fact that you can wake up, and immediately go back to sleep scares me a lot because there are times where I think dreaming was more interesting than going outside. In my own headspace, everything is fine.

Everything is going to be okay.

I love how the game accomplishes making you feel like you've done nothing. You grind your party to max level, beat every bad guy, finally find Basil, but there is no sense of satisfaction, no feeling of putting the world to rights. And no matter how many times the characters reassure you that everything is okay now, you can't let go of that half-baked feeling.

[PurplestLink]

This song is the hikikomori route's Duet in my mind. Childish, almost like a carnival theme, lot's of little pieces of weird repetition and off key notes in weird places, but still comforting. When I heard Mari's theme start playing I legit started crying. The theme of a sad, broken child hiding from their pain.

Omori when "I pretend I do not see it" mood

[shadders]

Felt sick to my stomach when the main theme started here, after all it represented in the Main route. This game does so much with music, sound, and leitmotis. It's genius.

[kuniokun]

also the other instruments start to sound just a little bit louder when the "main theme" starts to play, as if it's just trying to drown it out

[ndres]

I really love *AND* hate how sad 1:06 is, It feels like the SPIRIT MARI is trying *ONE LAST TIME* to remind her brother of The Truth, trying desperately to make him remember what happened, just for OMORI to fully take over, and fulfill his purpose, making sure that SUNNY never remembers...

[GereldTheCat]

This song is genuinely trying to sound happy, but you very clearly tell that something off.

[alrightanimations]

The fact that it's 1 minute and 43 seconds is truly something

[sirpineapple]

1:06 this part doesn't unsettle me, nor does it fill me with sadness, nor anger. just a visceral feeling of self-loathing, knowing that it didn't have to be this way.

[spetsnatzlegion]

This route makes me appreciate Kel so much more. It’s hard to distract from the feeling that it didn’t have to be like this and the cycle could have been broken if he just went out and owned up, but having had my own problems when it comes to socialising and friendships that I dearly wanted to break but somehow physically couldn’t get myself to change, doing this sort of thing alone would be impossible in Sunny’s situation, and the cycle would be inevitable. Not almost impossible, just impossible. Having someone there to break you out even if they hadn’t seen you for years and have little reason to care is a lifeline Sunny could not have gone without.

[yho]

tis song gives off a lota, , um, , delusional happiness vibes ?? it reminds me of coin locker baby 4 some reason, ,
1:06 - i like how tis part is besically telling u "good job, you fucked up."

[Ayuda]

"Tired of breathing and living but afraid to what's after d3ath?

Well, let's make our OWN world, no nore problems, just fun, we could be playing... *playing forever* "

[popnickle]

Hear me out. Sunny used to play on a toy violin and toy piano before he was given his actual violin. What if the “duet” that plays is him playing the duet in the childish toys in his head? Doing so in an attempt to ignore the present and return to the childish past, just like how omori wants.
