I drafted up a scrambled connection of thoughts on obsidian that I wanted to post but it was too long, too personal and too incoherent.
All that I really have to say is that the endings ruined me (I savescummed for all of them), I don't think I can hear a piano and violin together for a while but the worst ending my far was the phone ringing which I got on my first attempt because I thought it was what Basil and Sunny deserved. The photo album sequences (not the truth one, even though that was masterfully done) drove me to tears a couple times because I have a photo album of a family member who passed and it reminded me of him.
Otherwise, I don't think I'm supposed to resonate to Omori as much as I did. I have an incredibly fuzzy memory of my early teenage years (I didn't kill my sister, however) as well as spending a good chunk of that time aimlessly daydreaming (probably not maladaptive). Playing this game did make me think about a couple things from that time that I haven't forgotten, but I just prefer not to think about them and haven't in years. I don't think it's trauma, but it isn't a pleasant memory. I could also be exaggerating it in my head because my memories from that time are flimsy. Also, in the final fight with Omori I noticed that most of his lines were things I thought about Sunny earlier in the playthrough, which probably isn't ideal.
I'll let you know how orange Joe tastes.
Also, tangentially (sh2 spoilers)
