Line 24:
**The Truth: on the last night in the true ending, Sunny dreams about {{spoiler|entering the tree where Mari ostensibly hung herself. He-- and the player-- find out that it wasn't a suicide. What happened instead was Sunny was practicing for their duet recital, got frustrated as he heard Mari scoffing at his mistakes, and smashed his violin down the stairs. Mari saw, and got into a fight with him, and wouldn't let Sunny go to cool down. In a fit of anger, he pushed her down the stairs. She collapsed on the broken violin and lay still, her neck at an odd angle. Going [[My God What Have I Done?]], Sunny ran down, begged her [[Please Wake Up]] and dragged her into bed, hoping to make her better. He broke down, believing it was a dream. Basil witnessed all this with horror; rather than dial 911 or get the neighbors, however, he ordered Sunny to drag Mari outside, and grab the jumprope. They strung her from a tree, making it look like a suicide}}.
*[[Age Lift]]: Omori in his original comic is an older teen, who reads porn and smokes. Omori in the game is still mentally twelve years old, meaning he doesn't have time for that. ''Sunny'', however, is estimated to be around 16 years old.
*[[Bittersweet Ending]]: The best ending is this. {{spoiler|Sunny saves Basil's life by confronting him as he's about to impale himself with garden shears, but Basil lashes out at him and injures his eye. After Sunny recalls his good memories and decides to persist, when you choose to continue after Omori beats you soundly, Omori approaches...and hugs him, dropping the knife before fading away. Sunny wakes up in the hospital, heavily bandaged and crying, but has enough strength to go find the real Basil while ignoring his dream friends heading to the hospital roof. The friend group is there, conducting an [[Unbroken Vigil]] on Basil, and Sunny confesses the truth of what happened to Mari. We don't see their response, but the ending is hopeful}}.
*[[Cerebus Callback]]: During a fight in the first day in Headspace, Aubrey accidentally knocks Basil over. She helps him up and apologizes as Hero chides her. We find out in the real world that Aubrey is badly bullying Basil, and pushes him into the lake.
*[[Darker and Edgier]]: Blackspace, and Blackspace II in the Hikikomori route are much more horrific than the rest of Headspace, even when factoring in the Truth. Each room shows horrific images or plain creepy ones, where you can only escape by interacting with disembodied hands or finding key figurines. {{spoiler|There are also about five versions of Basil that ask for help, but each one dies. What's worse is the last death happens when Omori repeatedly stabs Basil and walks over his dead body.}}
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
*[[Groundhog Day Loop]]: It's revealed that this happens in {{spoiler|Headspace during the quest to find Basil, ''every time''. Omori resets every time Sunny gets too close to finding the truth. The move to a new town has broken the loop, if you choose to have Sunny step out of his comfort zone and face reality}}.
*[[Hypocrite]]: Aubrey in the real world picks a fight with Sunny and Kel when they see her bullying, wielding a baseball bat with nails. She's also not afraid to use it. While Kel resorts to whacking her in self-defense with his basketball, Sunny has a steak knife and is not afraid to use it. When Sunny gives her a nick, however, Aubrey retreats and calls him a maniac for using a knife. Meanwhile, she's still holding the bat.
* [[I Lied]]]: A silent version. Most of the Headspace story is a quest to find Basil, who has gone missing. In the Main Route, {{spoiler|Omori reveals that Basil is in Blackspace, multiple versions of him, and he never intended for you to find or save Basil. Instead, he ascends the throne of red hands in the last room after stabbing the last Basil, giving us a long stare. Indeed, to find the Truth you have to leave the dream version of Basil outside the tree where the real memories are}}.
*[[Never Speak Ill of the Dead]]: One of the reasons why {{spoiler|Sunny and Basil feel intense guilt for Mari's death, and faking it as a suicide. Everyone speaks of how brilliant, kind and caring Mari was in life towards her little brother and their friends. No one mentions that Mari was a perfectionist that often locked herself in her room to study or practice piano while ignoring Sunny, prankster, who used Hero's bug phobia to mess with him, and showed [[No Sympathy]] about Sunny's frustration as he tried to master violin to her level. Part of the reason why she and Sunny got into a fight was he was unable to communicate this, and she didn't realize her scoffing at his mistakes caused him to smash his violin, a Christmas gift from their friends}}.
*[[Parents as People]]: There are no role models for parents in this game. It's why the friendship group had Mari and Hero as the parents, essentially, in real life in the past.
**Sunny's mother has spent days away from home, leaving voicemails for him. His father left a while ago. It's also implied they favored {{spoiler|Mari over him, which didn't help at all after she died}}.
**Kel and Hero's parents favored their eldest son, the golden child, while treating Kel as a goofball and an annoyance. In the present, his mother is at least sorry for that while being a better mother to their baby sister, but we don't know how his dad feels.
*[[Sudden Downer Ending]]: There are ''four'' possible options for this on the Main Route after the friendship group reunites the final foray into the Dreamworld that reveals the Truth:
