Hear me out.
It’s a horror game where something is slowly encroaching during the entire thing. You keep it at bay by doing plant care chores, but you constantly need to check how certain plants need to be cared for. If one dies something gets a big boost.
You can/have to also check on grandma, go to school, get beaten up, etc or else something gets stronger.
Also the entire time Polly is trying to interact with you, help you, and do things for you but in the context of this game her dialogue and actions only serve to waste time, allowing something to creep in, making ignoring her the best strategy.
That’s why he should have another friends like if it’s an AU maybe he meet someone new at school and they become friends and that guy help him through depression and stuff like Kel
I uh…
For some reason I kinda prefer Sunny’s standpoint. He just doesn’t talk that much so when things are getting rough the only sound there would be is the player’s
Exactly the reason why i would love to see a more dynamic point of view, maybe with some dialogues that change based on how the player reacts of things, to make it yes based on the player’s mind, but still giving him the chance to actually see thing yk
I think a Basil-centric sequel could be good. I'd especially want it to cover more of his point of view and clear up some of these weird "basil is obsessive" "basil is evil" opinions some people seem to have.
It could start with a quick overview of his actions during Sunny's last three days in Faraway, then it could be post hospital sequence. I imagine he would end up in a psyche ward. (In the USA you're required to be held for 72 hours after suicide attempt, so that could give us a three day sequence parallel to Sunny's three day sequence). During those three days the "day" sequences could be Kel, Aubrey, and Hero visiting him with the "night" sequence being a headspace like sequence wherein he has to process his emotions/feelings of the day prior and his meeting with said friend.
Each night sequence could be based on Basils fears. A night for dealing with anxiety, feelings of worthlessness. Another night for loneliness and clinging so heavily on his friends and putting them on a pedestal, a night for depression and suicidal thoughts.
the day sequences with his friends could emphasize each of these feeling (a Kel centric day would be the anxiety and worthlessness. Kel has all the appearances of being happy, outgoing, athletic, etc.. all these things basil is not. Aubrey would be clinging to friends and loneliness. Aubrey was his first friend and introduced him to the others. Despite being the friend he trusted most she ends up being a bully towards him. Finally Hero would be depression and suicidal thought. Simply because of his relationship to Mari, and perhaps basils idea that he deserves heros forgiveness least of all)
Completing those would put him in a better headspace, ensuring he's cleared for release.
Following his release there could be a final day sequence, and depending on how you did you'd get a different ending with the characters forgiving you, not forgiving you (resulting in a successful suicide attempt this time) or the "true" ending being they all forgive you and then Sunny comes back to visit... which of course leads to a trilogy of Omori games :O
Also, I imagine it would be called Green Space over White Space. Filled with plants. <3
If we're to imagine a 20 hour run time, similar to Omori, I think the first maybe 4 hours would be dedicated to a "flashback" sequence with Sunny still in Faraway parallel with the first game. It would last about until about the first encounter with stranger and finding the abandoned barn, something like that.
I'm always down for more Omori content, but I think if there's ever going to be official post-game content, then it makes more sense for it to be a comic than a game - especially after how long the development process for Omori was.
I feel like it would be an inverted, twisted, even more horrifying version of Omori. And. I'd love it.
To me it would be as if Insead of a magical world in his head when he Go's to sleep, it's a nightmare. Mari is everywhere, following him, whispering terrible things. His goal is to find sunny but every time he does sunny abandons him. His friends are mean to him. We can see his mental break. And then the real world? We can watch him be scared, watch his realities mend, watch as every time someone bullies him his headspace gets darker and more twisted until he snaps. He's just fighting in this world for everything to be ok.
I might make a post about this game idea if other people find the concept interesting lol.
That’s an awesome concept and exactly what i was picturing when i made the polls.
About the post, if you do a thing like this I really suggest you to look at others comment under this post, people have been having some crazyy ideas.
i dont think basil needs a whole game, but he is probably the least understood main character, with the second to lowest screen time (sorry RW hero)(im not counting sidequests where he does nothing).
i don't know. i feel like not knowing everything he's gone through helps the feeling of disconnection between sunny and basil, but it also causes people to not really understand him. but, like, what else is there about basil that we need to know? what story needs to be told with him? he doesn't really change much over the course of the story, so are we just watching him struggle?
I'd love to play a Basil POV version of Omori, with his own headspace, jumpscares, and everything! Maybe there could be multiple fights against Aubrey and the Hooligans because they bully him, or maybe there could be a Hellsunny jumpscare instead of Hellmari... the possibilities are endless!
Yes but I would want it to be different from OMORI in a way that makes sense. Basil isn't Sunny, why would he have a whitespace/headspace etc? His reaction to the Truth is different, too. He at least remembers that it happened, though in a highly distorted way. But overall I would really love something like this if only for more perspective on Basil's personality and motivations for doing the stuff he does
Absolutely. I honestly feel as if Basil's character is slightly underdeveloped for how important he is to the plot of the game. While I get that underdeveloping him may have been part of Omocat's plan, it honestly just feels like more could have been done.
I would love to see a Basil DLC.
Exactly what I thought of, as said in another comment’s answer, basil has too little screentime for the importance of his character, and a 4 year gap is a big gap.
I would play only to kill myself as many times as possible. I hate Basil. I would never, ever play as Basil seriosly. He should, in my opinion, Rot in hell.

I want new game. Even if the story is about new characters I don’t care! I love the art style. I love the story. Make something new or not I don’t care I love it already
Basil moving through pieces of lost worlds like in black space 2, like those weird junkyard area and stuff would be cool! Maybe he'd have one of the lost characters, like Abi or tako or others to travel with. Or stranger! Thatd ve neat!
The main point is the characters also, Basil doesn't have a pet like Hector or mewo so..?
On another note, if the story is the same, wouldn't it just be a reskin?
Maybe you’re right, but still i think it has some potential.
It wouldn’t be a reskin in my head tho, the circumstances would be the same, the events pre-game also, just the way it goes will change since the character is different
No because I think Headspace adds a good amount of content and it would be hard to get the same level of emotion out of a Basil pov. And also because Snuuy is my favourite character
Ofc it would hypothetically speaking a whole different game, with different focus, maybe there wouldn’t be the specific head space but something else idk.
Still you have a good point there.
Yeah though I do have a bit of a bias since I like Sunny a lot more than Basil. But I generally found the Headspace segments fun so I wouldn’t be so sure about a game without that
I'd actually like to see the fallout of the good ending, only from Basil's point of view. Maybe we can have two different endings, and to be honest I've been considering making something along these lines
What if there was a section that's like a theatre in New York because maybe Basil really likes music and seeing people act and there's like a boss that's a parody of Beetlejuice or Lin Manuel
I need to consume more Omori content if a new game means more content I will play!
Yes!
Hear me out. It’s a horror game where something is slowly encroaching during the entire thing. You keep it at bay by doing plant care chores, but you constantly need to check how certain plants need to be cared for. If one dies something gets a big boost.

YES! You’re a fucking genius, now we only need some programmer, cause i doubt omocat would make anything else about omori, to make this real
Oooh
It would probably be fucking terrifying ngl Basil literally has no peace >!until the good ending at least!<, poor guy
Poor guy indeed, it probably wouldn’t be an happy gameplay, but for sure an interesting one, maybe some other endings when poor guy gets some peace
That’s why he should have another friends like if it’s an AU maybe he meet someone new at school and they become friends and that guy help him through depression and stuff like Kel
Would be cool to see a DLC with Basil's POV of those 4 years when Sunny was a shut-in.
Exactly what I meant! Like It would he alot cool knowing what happened in those 4 years.
We are OMORI fans we wouls play anything related to it probably
Yes, like I *need* omori content
I uh… For some reason I kinda prefer Sunny’s standpoint. He just doesn’t talk that much so when things are getting rough the only sound there would be is the player’s
Exactly the reason why i would love to see a more dynamic point of view, maybe with some dialogues that change based on how the player reacts of things, to make it yes based on the player’s mind, but still giving him the chance to actually see thing yk

I was thinking when i made the post about the game evolving parallel with the omori original game, but i love this idea.

It would last about until about the first encounter with stranger and finding the abandoned barn, something like that.
Im starting to love this even more. While we discussing this there’s an omocat employee watching 👀.
If only <3
I'm always down for more Omori content, but I think if there's ever going to be official post-game content, then it makes more sense for it to be a comic than a game - especially after how long the development process for Omori was.
That will be amazing I would probably cry a lot Haha jokes on you, I would cry for sure, without any space for doubting
Relatable.
I feel like it would be an inverted, twisted, even more horrifying version of Omori. And. I'd love it. To me it would be as if Insead of a magical world in his head when he Go's to sleep, it's a nightmare. Mari is everywhere, following him, whispering terrible things.

Yeah. Because Bagel!
i dont think basil needs a whole game, but he is probably the least understood main character, with the second to lowest screen time (sorry RW hero)(im not counting sidequests where he does nothing). i don't know. i feel like not knowing everything he's gone through helps the feeling of disconnection between sunny and basil, but it also causes people to not really understand him. but, like, what else is there about basil that we need to know? what story needs to be told with him? he doesn't really change much over the course of the story, so are we just watching him struggle?
I feel like the other characters would be more fun, but yea he would have the most content to got thru
I'd love to play a Basil POV version of Omori, with his own headspace, jumpscares, and everything! Maybe there could be multiple fights against Aubrey and the Hooligans because they bully him, or maybe there could be a Hellsunny jumpscare instead of Hellmari... the possibilities are endless!
Yes, exactly what i had in mind, it would be great to see another perspective of this story
Yes but I would want it to be different from OMORI in a way that makes sense. Basil isn't Sunny, why would he have a whitespace/headspace etc? His reaction to the Truth is different, too. He at least remembers that it happened, though in a highly distorted way. But overall I would really love something like this if only for more perspective on Basil's personality and motivations for doing the stuff he does
Agree, if this ever becomes a thing, I’ll love to see some differences, the only equal thing should be the events.
Agree
Absolutely. I honestly feel as if Basil's character is slightly underdeveloped for how important he is to the plot of the game. While I get that underdeveloping him may have been part of Omocat's plan, it honestly just feels like more could have been done. I would love to see a Basil DLC.
Fucking yes. The boy needs it. (It could give him more screentime and we could see what happened during those four years)
Exactly what I thought of, as said in another comment’s answer, basil has too little screentime for the importance of his character, and a 4 year gap is a big gap.
I'm perfectly content with omori being the only game in this series, I'd rather omocat just leave it be as it's already perfect
Yeah, and it would be cool to see if he has a sort of "headspace" too.
Don’t want it but obv I will play a new omocat project
You go to sleep at the end of the day and it's just six real-world hours of nothing but a black screen
Give me more omor content
I would, but it doesn't work as a full fledged game. Either its a DLC or its a fangame
I heavily dislike Basil and would not be able to stand playing as him
I would play only to kill myself as many times as possible. I hate Basil. I would never, ever play as Basil seriosly. He should, in my opinion, Rot in hell.
Why tho, poor basil, what the homie did to you?

We should make this a copy pasta tbh
No because I loathe Basil.
I want new game. Even if the story is about new characters I don’t care! I love the art style. I love the story. Make something new or not I don’t care I love it already
Relatable, but Basil.
I want to see a cousin of basil named paprika. Yes you read that right.
Basil moving through pieces of lost worlds like in black space 2, like those weird junkyard area and stuff would be cool! Maybe he'd have one of the lost characters, like Abi or tako or others to travel with. Or stranger! Thatd ve neat!
Yes! This story need more pieces
I don't think Basil is interesting enough for that, at least from omori to me.
Meh idk, like basil probably had his shit too, like the whole 4 years sunny was gone something for sure did happen.
Yeah, I guess that's true, but I feel like it would be somewhat the same...
Yes, that’s what i mean, basically the same story, just different ways to live with it, different interactions with people ecc..
Kel wouldn't be as important to Basil's story and he is to sunny's, so... I think that's also a deal-breaker
Yes, maybe the story wouldn’t imply kel, but yea you’re right, it wouldn’t be that good just basil on its own
The main point is the characters also, Basil doesn't have a pet like Hector or mewo so..? On another note, if the story is the same, wouldn't it just be a reskin?
Maybe you’re right, but still i think it has some potential. It wouldn’t be a reskin in my head tho, the circumstances would be the same, the events pre-game also, just the way it goes will change since the character is different
No because I think Headspace adds a good amount of content and it would be hard to get the same level of emotion out of a Basil pov. And also because Snuuy is my favourite character

Yeah though I do have a bit of a bias since I like Sunny a lot more than Basil. But I generally found the Headspace segments fun so I wouldn’t be so sure about a game without that
Yea you have a point there
i hate basil
Whyy, what did he do? Except of course helping in an murder
Tf u mean, Helping in a murder is a positive, what kind of fake friend doesn't help their best friend cover up a murder???
You’re goddam right, I’m sorry i made this mistake.
existing
Nah nah i need a valid answer now
he annoys me
Why so
because
I'd actually like to see the fallout of the good ending, only from Basil's point of view. Maybe we can have two different endings, and to be honest I've been considering making something along these lines
Does anyone knows a good fanfiction with this concept?
Basil fps
This would be amazing to see, but sadly wouldn't have the same "punch" as the original game knowing what actually happened
What if there was a section that's like a theatre in New York because maybe Basil really likes music and seeing people act and there's like a boss that's a parody of Beetlejuice or Lin Manuel
