- This is my first ever OMORI analysis video, and I plan to make more in the future!
Note: I am not an Aubrey simp, I was just really interested in her character and wanted to make a video about her.

On the topic of Sunny telling everyone what really happened with Mari's death, a lot of people think that he'd be.. Straight faced. As always. When not a minute ago he woke up crying. I can imagine sunny breaking down and crying as he tells them.
@Zeta I know, but the moment he said "I have to tell you something."
He was straight-faced
@Zeta I did see that, wish it was used and implemented in that cutscene, watching him breakdown and explain everything... watching their reactions and what they decide to do afterwards, thatd be a nice sight.
@Zeta Nah. But Hero should be the main char. Instead of his something represented by guilt and depression, it should be hate and resentment.
@Zeta Lol i know. But I do believe either Hero, Aubrey or Kel should be the mc next time
Kel would feel sad, but try his best to comfort Sunny.
Aubrey would feel angry at first, but it would fade away into sympathy and sorrow since she acted similarly in outbursts of anger.
And Hero...
Well, idk if he'd be depressed or filled with a furioud rage.
Aubrey "accidentaly" pushed Basil almost causing his death
Sunny "accidentaly" pushed Mari causing her death
Hmmm
i hope in some ending everything ends in the lake, bye omori and bye basil , she is the villain, and hero just reachs to the lake when it is night
Hmmmmmmm……..
hm.
Imagine if Basil really did die in the lake
Why Kel Is a brilliant character:
He's kel
HE BASICALLY SAVED SUNNY AND BASIL'S LIVES
Ah yes. Kel memes are canon
@Zeta True, without Kel Hero would be shut in doors like Sunny.
and because he has a (family) pet rock !!!
@@Hewhoroamstheinternet Kel is the hero of the game
I honestly never "got mad" at Aubrey even after my first encounter with her in the real world; I'd say "grief" would better summarize my initial reaction. In the back of my head, I always knew there had to have been a bigger picture I wasn't seeing quite yet.
Nonetheless, getting to the point of finally understanding Aubrey was still a roller-coaster ride.
Yeah, for real. Despite everything else that happens in the game, that church scene hit me the hardest I think (maybe tied with the final duet).
Same. Even without knowing about Aubrey's horrible home life and the scribbled photos, I still felt appalled with myself when I watched her fall to the ground after attacking her with a knife. Moreover, it was apparent by the time we got the church scene that she had suffered a LOT in the four years Sunny had been isolated. Kel taking as long as he did to pick up on her pain and reasonable feelings surrounding the situation was frankly more frustrating to watch than Aubrey bullying Basil. Especially after she made it clear that Basil had "wronged" her in the past somehow.
For me it was more like shock, then curiosity.
I swear I cried 3 times in 1 hour because of aubrey while watching the playthrough😭
Oh, I feel like an asshole for getting mad at Aubrey’s group AND her now.
THE ANGRY "EYEBROWS" I CANT-
HAHHAHAA
aobory eyebro
im shitting tears🤣🤣
bro got pringle eyebows 😂😂😂😂
Each of the (alive) group represent a stage of grief.
Sunny - Denial, He has denied so much that he has denied his own life.
Aubrey - Anger, The way she acted slowly broke her and caused her to act as such she did.
Basil - Bargaining, Simular to sunny, he has denied some stuff, but its rather more to bargain about it, rather than denial.
Hero - Depression, He normally breaks simular to aubrey (however not in same fashion) when opposed to something about mari.
Kel - Acceptance, He is the only one who was able to get over the death of mari.
That's my theory too!
Common Kel W
Yeah, he was able to get over" by blocking out his negative emotions and trying to make a new life for himself, and stopped showing his sadness as much assumedly due to wanting to help people like Hero move on, but to no avail as he couldn't really help
@@PaypsAgain fr
I am still having trouble understanding how Basil is more bargaining than denying (this time that Sunny killed her, not that Mari is alive in Sunny's dreams) but yeah it's pretty much that. I feel like it was intentional honestly.
I think something very worthy of note about Aubrey’s character is the side quest with Kim and Vance’s dad who was not able to fix the leaky pipes for 3 consecutive days. From the very first time you meet him as Sunny and Kel, he’s the only person that you can’t truly “help” like you help the other people in the neighborhood. You’re just forced to sit and watch this adult man attempt to do an adult thing. You don’t really think much of it. After all, what are these kids supposed to do? You can’t truly expect them to know how to fix a leaky pipe can you? Even the older Hero, the problem fixer, can do nothing more than to stand watch as these pipes break again. When you go in with Aubrey however, not only is she the first person to offer to help, she successfully does it pretty much instantly. I think this speaks leagues of how much she was forced to grow up due to her situation at home. She doesn’t have the adults in her life that the other kids have. She doesn’t have the luxury of not having to worry about adult things like fixing a leaky pipe. Mari was the closest thing she had to that. With the loss of her friends, she truly had no one to rely on but herself. Not just for emotional support, but for merely surviving. She had to force that tough exterior just to stay alive. But we also all know that she’s really a softie inside. Kel outright says that. This is further encompassed by the fact that she helped this man without even knowing who he was at first. She had nothing to gain and still helped and is embarrassed upon receiving gratitude, shoving it aside like it was nothing. Though (but real) exterior, soft heart, and unwillingness to openly admit that she has a soft heart. The 3 core concepts of Aubrey’s character are shown really well in this seemingly insignificant side quest.
Woah, this is a really good point! I'm surprised I overlooked this!
Kim/Vance’s dad is incompetent, wow
About the track "It Means Everything". Listen closely to the song: There's 2 tracks playing. I'll call the one that immediately starts with the main riff, "Track A". This is Aubrey's "FIGHT!!!" urges, her anger taking over, she wants to lash out at Kel and punish him. However, about 20 seconds in, "Track B" starts to play. It kinda sounds like a wailing in the background. I think this is Aubrey's pain, remorse, doubts if what she's doing is right, and perhaps fear of the future. She pulled a nail bat on Sunny and Kel in church. She knows she's not coming back to that church again, and she knows that whatever was left of her tattered past is done, finished (or so she thinks at this point). There's no coming back from this. And so, her subconscious is wailing in despair as all of this is just wrong. How did it end up like this? There's no turning back from this, is there? That, and on the Swingset 2 days later, she admits to Sunny that she still cared about him and noticed that he looked thin and pale, so I wouldn't be surprised if she were also in turmoil over both attacking Sunny and she was probably still reeling from the fact Sunny brandished (and, depending on the player's actions, slashed her with said knife) a knife at her. A freaking steak knife.
EDIT: Also, doing some more thinking, another explanation for the two tracks, Track B could also be Sunny's thoughts. Maybe somewhere in Sunny's subconscious, he's in despair over how Aubrey is so angry and swinging a bat at Kel and how their friendship deteriorated.
Also, about the Confession..... if you water the flowers properly, you see a small cutscene in which Sunny is standing at Basil's bedside. This could only happen _after_ the Confession. Sunny is standing there with a calm expression, and when Basil wakes up, Sunny _smiles_ at him and Basil smiles back. I like to ask people: Do you _really_ think that Sunny would be standing there calmly, and even smiling at Basil if his friends refused to forgive him? At the very least, the friends would be like "this really hurts... but hey I understand... I just need some time to process this, ok...?". But to outright refuse to forgive him... this would surely wreck Sunny and he would have surely just broken down at that point. He had just gone through a brutal mental battle with his subconscious (Omori) about this very thing... if he defeated Omori and then went on to confess to his friends and Omori turned out to be right, that should have wrecked Sunny. The fact he's standing there all calm and smiling tells me they did actually forgive him.
Wow, this is actually a really good analysis!
I actually completely understand this, it makes perfect sense, Aubrey first reacted with her anger then later in the fight she started realizing what was wrong. This actually happens in a lot of fights
The soundtrack "It Means Everything" sounds like a 2000s Nu Metal instrumental without drums
i'd like to remind everyone 3 important details
1. the priest controlls who is banned from church or not
2. the priest cares for aubrey
3. the priest says you talk with him after the fight "I would have stopped the fight, but it seemed important"
she can come back to the church, the priest probably will allow it due to the infomation we have rn
Ok but how the hell can she conceal a nailed bat in her jacket

Imagine if Sunny and Hero failed to save Basil.
Don't forget that Aubrey pushed Basil...
...
Sound familiar?
What if Hero couldn't save both Sunny and Basil tho?
*a new Something has appeared!*
lol that's very true.
But depending on which ending u get, it could be similar tbh
Sunny: “Yay, we can bond over _something_ again!”
Aubrey: *legit having a mental breakdown in the background*

Sunny Agrees.
KEL agrees!

@@circustentt Headspace Kel agrees
Honestly, that fight in the church tore me in half. I can’t imagine how Aubrey must have felt with all those people saying those things about her appearance, her behaviour, calling her a sinner.
I mean I know she’s entirely fictional but that one moment in particular really hit hard and close to home.
I’m pretty sure after it all happened In the church, Aubrey must have went to apologise, as she really didn’t want to fight Sunny and Kel and the Church really helped her. But that’s just my headcanon
Yeah, I think it's safe to say Aubrey went and talked with the priest after the fight was over. She regretted the whole situation too much, and as you aptly pointed out, that church was one of the few places she could actually find some semblance of peace at. There's no way she'd give that up, even if the other churchgoers were horrible to her.
It's ironic that AUBREY bullied BASIL in the present when S H E was the one who INTRODUCED HIM to her F R I E N D S
Edit 3/15/22: yo why is this still blowing up chill OUT
Y e s i always thought on that
That's probably only added to the betrayal she felt when she found the photos. In addition to be confused and enraged, she probably began to suspect Basil took their friendship for grant it, and saw him as ungrateful (to an extent, anyway).

An interesting detail that Aubrey is the one who objects to giving up money in the dream world when Shady Mole ask for all your money or if you somehow you got 1 million clams giving up the money to the the witches. maybe Sunny knew that Aubery lived in poverty and it got reflected in the dream world.
I'm willing to bet he had the best idea of her situation given that Aubrey would speak to him alone for hours on end when they met up at the swing set.
"Until the day of Sunny and Mari's recital, where everything *fell* apart."
*Ayo the pizza he-*
Her ears burn
She's perfect due to her imperfections.
I found Aubrey to be extremely relatable.. Having my own friend take their life at a young age this year I was just able to completely understand her anger & desperation. I saw myself in her & cried when she cried.. it's so frustrating to see the world keep turning when experiencing trauma like that. I also found each of the other characters to be a representation of how we deal with grief - and was able to relate to all of them in some ways. This game handled grief so well & despite its terrifying moments helped me understand and release a lot of the emotions I've been holding onto. Absolutely brilliant game & great analysis of her

@@oliverzwatermelongum Second or Third oldest because Hero would be the oldest of them all
I am her age let's go
Jokes on you I'm younger than her. But I'm not a huge simp for her though.
It’s definitely going to take a long time until Aubrey forgives Sunny. When you compare both of their actions, what Sunny did was much worse cuz in the end Aubrey isn’t the type to cover up the accident with Basil.
To be fair, it was Basil who convinced Sunny to cover it up, the latter just went along with it out of blind trust and lack of awareness. Though obviously Aubrey would still view him as a "spineless coward" for KEEPING it a secret if nothing else.
I am not so sure, she was keen on keeping things secret that makes her uncomfortable, but with Kel, it would have been impossible to cover it up unless she murders him and most importantly, it was she, who caused the whole abusive of her old friends.
But I am of the opposite opinion with her taking long to forgive them. She might have ended up the same as Sunny had it all been a lot more unlucky and she was already having a bad reputation for being a bully who terrorizes her own community and that fate could have been Sunny's had the accident not be covered up. Also she learner her lesson about ignoring the pain of others as she did it for the last 4 years, so she might be more likely to forgive it than Hero, who really loved Mari.
It would take quite a while for all of them to find peace with the knowledge, especially Hero. Despite Hero being able to get back onto his feet, we can see that he's just barely hanging on really. Hearing the truth would absolutely destroy him.
I disagree, Aubrey knows what is to almost kl someone o accident and would probably understand that Sunny was young and panicking
To be fair, sunny didn’t ask for it to be covered up, basil did it. In the end, it’s just sad kids that made sad decisions
I think, Why AUBREY is mad at BASIL for the unknown reasons is because AUBREY when she saw BASILS album the pictures of MARI was doodled on having a X or a thick black line to her face due to SUNNY grabbing BASILS album and doing it , AUBREY thought BASIL did it since yk its his picture book, AUBERY got frustrated and bullied him a lot. (this is just a thought lol)
Pretty sure she explicitly said that in the game
@@akward8246 as your ty name it is awkward for me to forget
Wait was is said Sunny scribbled on them? I don’t remember that part
@@Shmook There's a part where it's implied. Just before the Basil fight, Basil admits to taking the blame for the album being scribbled on, implying that someone else did it (namely Sunny), but he was held accountable.
@@SerialIntrovert its stated in one of his lines right before the battle i think
"When something killed MARI...
When something ruined all my photos...
I didn't say anything... I didn't want people to think it was you, SUNNY."
Omocat has to make a wholesome version of omori wich is basically after the good ending, i just wanna see sunny and aubrey together man 😭😭
The implied Sunburn in the game is too much my heart ;-;
@@michigancube4240 Imagine how Aubrey is scared of being bandoned, now imagine if Sunny died early from somthing and Aubrey became alone again, thats the sad thing about relationships they never last, eitehr your partner dies or you leave eacother. Every knot tied in life will eventualy be unbound.
I'd love to see a version where Mari DIDN'T get pushed down the stairs, or at least where she did but only got hurt
@@bluelandyaandgreenlandya1788 I'd like to think if she didn't get pushed down the stairs Sunny and Aubrey would've immediately become lovers after the recital. There are a few people who have some sad shorts written where Mari found out about their mutual crush on each other and suggested she ask Sunny out after the recital and Aubrey really liked the idea etc etc.
Is it weird that I wanna see a sequel that primarily takes place in the real world and see how the characters are doing?
Call me a romantic but I think Aubrey had a thing for Sunny too. Before they head to the tree house IRL she tried to pull him aside to ask him if they could keep in touch after he moves. Yes, this could be just a friend thing but she didn't have to wait till the others left to do so. In contrast to Hero doing it out in the open explicitly as a friend thing. I do think her advances could've been a little imploded in DreamWorld but nonetheless that's what I think. We don't actually get a lot of IRL Aubrey like we do Kel so I just took her interactions with a grain of salt and common sense, and shipped them before I knew it.
Maybe you missed it but when you go to maris grave you can picnic there when aubrey is within the group and aubrey stares at sunny for a short time then looks away, thats a hint too i think
I do get a small impression that Aubrey may have liked Sunny back, but I saw that dialogue before the treehouse as Aubrey's reluctance to be vulnerable in front of people. It's true that Hero is very explicit in front of everyone that he cares about people, but Aubrey's obviously a pretty outwardly tough person in the IRL segments who actively chooses to be cold and emotionally detached the majority of the time. She likely wouldn't feel super comfortable showing care for Sunny in front of everyone because it leaves her feeling emotionally open and vulnerable, I'm sure most people prefer to say sweet caring things when it's just you and the subject of your care. It also mirrors the little scene in the park on the last day, Sunny and Aubrey sit on the swings like they used to as kids with Hero and Kel off doing their own thing. Aubrey seems much more comfortable being open with Sunny, saying things that were a complete 180 from her antagonistic scathing words to Sunny a couple days prior in front of everyone.
I totally think your interpretation is valid don't get me wrong, I agree with your stance but I think it probably says more about her character and how she feels safe expressing her emotions. What points to her potentially liking Sunny in my interpretation is moreso that she shows individual care for Sunny in particular multiple times even after all these years, as well as some of what we see in Memory Lane.
Yeah let me send this to the Basil stans real quick
i stan basil and aubrey and. all of them
kel is underrated
Same
@@based9695 Kel is Overrated
the BASIL stans will understand that AUBREY is cool,,,
I know Polly is a minor character in omori, but feeling useless because basil won’t talk to her is something else, she wants to help basil but doesnt know to.
I rarely watch Omori/ omori character analysis for some reason, but I'm glad I decided to watch this video. Short and straight forward, but very informative and great story about Aubrey. I really think she's the most best Omori character to be analyzed with the most twist, turns, miscommunications and depressing story.
Keep up the great work! I'd love to see other character analysis video by you!
Its interesting, people often say that Kel Hero and Mari are flat charecters which isn't true at all.
And the fact she was blaming herself for basil killing himself due to her bullying so she felt regret
I really hope to see you make more of these about the other characters
And i honestly agree that Aubrey is a really well written character, she goes through her own arc that is very well made and really makes her feel like a proper central character, i believe the screen time and story Aubrey got is probably what Basil needed, something deep and impactful, i'm not saying Basil isn't impactful and isn't well written but i believe that, compared to Aubrey, Basil being treated as such a main subject in the story despite barely appearing makes it kinda underwhelming
I dunno, i might be the only one that feels this way but i've felt this way since i first saw the game
Yeah, as much as I love Basil, I do wish he got more screen time. I mean, from a story standpoint, it makes sense why he's barely present. There's only some much we know about him. He's kinda like a secret element. But I left this game wanting more than what I got from him.
Yeah. Tbh it's why I don't really have an opinion on Basil because there is so little to go off, it's kinda sad tho because at the beginning i thought he was gonna be my favourite character and then he just disappears
I can't agree more
THIS IS TOO AGREEABLE, AUBREY IS LIKE PACFICA IN GRAVITY FALLS

LMAO YES
Aubrey was such a well crafted character, she was definetly the most full fledged character and i love her
Ikr, and a lot of people hate her for this. As a Aubrey lover, I'm honestly offended
Every time me and my friend would play OMORI together, we always ended up feeling so close to Aubrey's emotions and actions, to the point of making random unintelligible noises. We see her personality so insanely gorgeous due to her so many imperfections. She is insanely relatable, and you can never know how many real life people are somewhat sailing in her same situation. Despite her being so violent, once you manage to understand the reason, you can forgive them. And, when you manage to do that, the veil of anger gets removed, only to show such a loveable, and cute, forgotten girl. You really wish you would have the power to make change in someone's life like her.
Edit: Great analysis by the way! You made your point very well, and, as someone really loving this character, it was very amazing to see your take on it too!
Yeah he did a really great job!
Also how can you relate to her? Becaus that sounds painfull to bear.
honestly i was never mad at aubrey for the way she acted, i honestly thought she was the most realistic character in the story, id probably react in the same way in that situation
She's an amazing character because of her perfect imperfections👌
I would argue that they are all perfect!
What i love about her is that she isn't just violence after grief, ofc she were mad cause of all sudden Sunny and Kel came back to tell her she's doing wrong after being appart for 4 years, but she really cared about her new friends and tried to move on. And that's just my personnal opinion but i don't think the whole photo album thing was 4 years ago, if it was she would have already throws it. I think it was a bit before Sunny's appareance, like you said she was probably ashamed of what she became while visiting Mari's grave, so i think she tried to reconnect with someone of her group friend with who she has a strong connection, aka Basil. It was the last thing she could rely on but when she saw all the photos being blacked out she broke down and started bullying him.
My memory kinda sucks but I'm really sad that Aubrey thought Basil scribbled over the pictures with sharpie but it was actually Sunny who did that because he didn't want to get more trauma and remember Mari's death and what is worse is that Aubrey and Basil used to be friends and I'm pretty sure Basil first-ever friend was Aubrey and Aubrey first-ever friend which was Basil which even hurts even more but then after Mari's death cause big pain in the friend group Aubrey started getting really far away from Basil and caused them to not become friends anymore and instead made Aubrey bully Basil
Great video my dude! Aubrey is honestly my favorite character because she just feels so realistic. Like i can feel all the emotions in the game. I feel so much for her its kinda funny. I can just imagine how she feels throughout the whole game, even when they were younger. :’)
I remember the first time i got inside Aubrey's house, it sent me shivers, having experience living in a house like that and being unable to change it, it also reminded me of LISA, and LISA: The painful, when Morty was in his couch looking into the tv as if being hipnotized, bad stuff i tell you
I like this video. Most of the fandom misunderstands her as a character.
It's cool to see someone piece together the story and show the character development, especially since I missed most of the optional stuff in my 17 hour playthrough.
Anyways, I have a piece of lore that hopefully could help with a Sunny/Mari video. During the Faraway town section of Two Days Left, if you go to the church while searching for Basil, you can talk to the priest who will mention something about their being a strong energy in the graveyard behind the church. Going back there, if I remember correctly, you'll find Mari's grave surrounded by a ring of light.
Yeah, that’s an interesting bit of lore :)
@@SerialIntrovert do u ship sunburn?
One thing I found cool about Aubrey is that she didn’t have the generic and cliché character development where “oh my god i was acting like a whole different person this is not who I am” then suddenly changes and denies her current friend group. Instead, she made things right with who she should’ve and continued her normal life with her friends.
To think of it , OMOCAT really loved and caried about Aubrey's character development more that any of the them , i dont think is just because he plays a big role in real world parts
Like c'mon , Kel just described entire Hero's coping process in one dialogue
And Kel's story is straight up "Just living my life, lol"
Off topic i really love how OMOCAT pulls the strings with Aubrey/Sunny dialoges , it seems Aubrey more that cares about Sunny , but why? Because of sympathy or because she tries to apologize for not understanding the whole situation with Sunny's copping stuff?
And it's some specilations that some of the words said in backstage scene was from friends(right after good memories highway)and it wasn't Sunny's imagination but some wishes while he was unconscious and Aubrey's one was most cheerful ...no, actually Kel was most cheerful..
But anyway OMOCAT is huge poo poo for doing that with my heart , i used all my savings too commision a few Sunburn arts and start drawing by myself . Like *really* , that game hits hard man!
Real world Aubrey is clearly my favourite character
This is an actually really good analysis- ye can keep making more if ya like, no pressure :0
This is underrated
She's kinda like Asuka Langley but electric boogaloo version
but jokes asides, shes a really REALLY well-written character.
ASUKA LANGLEY ELECTRIC BOOGALOO VERSION 💀💀
I left a comment somwhere about Aubrey, Basil and about thier inteactions somwhere at a Omori related video and its EXACTLY all the stuff i went over, its nice to see somone else talk about how Basil was brought in by Aubrey, also i can't help but think that since Hero wasn't there to mediate between Aubrey and Kel that this is why thier connection was severed. Kel really tries his best to be happy, but i also think hes the least affected by Maris death. All the other charecters have a strong connection to her except him.
(I mean still a strong connection, but you know what i mean)
Oh and another thing, Aubreys parents didn't treat her very well and Basils parents were always out traveling and seem distant aswell. Maybe thats why Aubrey brought Basil in, she made friends with him becaus they both knew what it was like to have parents who were distant. Also Basil probably knew that Aubrey was an outsider in her school, so they both knew what it was like to be out of place. This must have made it that much more painfull for Basil when Aubrey started bullying him, he knew that she knew how hard it was to be alienated and yet he kept his ground not telling what had happend to Aubrey to protect Sunny even at his own expense (or i mean out of fear, you know the story).
Its interesting in the picture with Aubrey and Kim she has her hair coloured but not her eyes showing they have been friends for a long time, this can be seen in dreamworld aswell as Berly (Kim) interacts with Aubrey alot, probably showing that thier friendship went quite far back. The reason Kim is a dinosaur in dreamworld is becaus she likes dinosaurs which can be seen in her room. Also Kim is short for Kimberly, Kim + Berly = Kimberly.
I could go on and on about all the stuff ive found in this game its just so good, the years they spent on it truly shows in the little details.
I immediately thought she felt the most 'human', out of the gang
I have never seen a fascinating video about Aubrey like this! You're doing a great job
Haven't watched a video yet, but one thing I always wanted in the story was for the dream variation of Aubrey to solely get meaner towards Omori as the real life version does towards sunny
It wouldn't really make sense, seeing as OMORI is basically the main puppet master of Headspace. And, aside from Basil and Mari, none of the other Headspace friends seem to have any autonomy. Seeing as Headspace is supposed to be Sunny's coping mechanism, it would be a bit counter intuitive for OMORI to remind Sunny about how the real world is reflected in Headspace.
@@chonglengli it could be a representation of how the real world sunny is getting stronger than Omori with each day maybe
Aubrey: ALRIGHT LET'S FIGHT
Sunny: *k n i f e*
Aubrey: n- nevermind
can't beleive this was 11 months ago- holy-
My interpretation of this is that Aubrey sometimes feels ashamed about how much she had changed since Mari's death
CC: My interpretation of this is that *uri* sometimes feels ashamed about how much she had changed since *mario's* death
I may be a bit too late to the party to ask, but where does the game imply that Aubrey had a bad home life before Mari's death? As I remember, in the raincoat scene she mentions that she probably wouldn't be able to dye her hair since her father was strict about that. She says this after mentioning that they bought her a new raincoat, and on the day of the recital she went out to get her hair cut. Unless I'm missing some context, I figured her home life was at least decent before Mari's death where her father provided for her and kept some kind of order.
And side note; I also got the feeling that her squabbles with Kel were kind of exaggerated. You can see them dancing together when Mari and Sunny are playing the piano, and from the pink pinwheel dialogue it's hinted that Kel teased her because he thought she was cute.
I've never liked Aubrey, I always thought she was so mean and liked her version in Sunny's headspace-- but thanks to you I realized how good of a character she actually is. She's not my favorite (I love Sweetheart so much man), but I like her more than before.
Great video btw
Great video! Tbh now that I think about it I can see a little bit of Aubrey on myself as someone with parents that argue frequently, I can easily drown in my feelings and act before thinking without caring about long term consequences while pushing everyone away when I am angry or sad
Anyways very excited for your next analysis, specially the ones about the partners in crime
10:01 Anyone noticed how Sunny backed away a bit when Aubrey broke down?
It was because they were taking about the suicide. I’ve always seen it as him panicking that they would catch him in his lie, but it could have been a bunch of stuff
Specifically, Sunny backed away because Aubrey was talking about the reason she was picking on Basil, which was SUNNY’s fault.
Another reason to despise CZcams… this video deserves way more attention!
shutup
@Mathias Gomez no
not a video I was expecting but it's really great.

The moment I saw that church fight, it clicked, she was amazing, the common case of "don't judge a book by its cover", no one likes to think they were the bad guy, for all she knew, everyone around her had hurt an innocent little girl and ruined her childhood, and that it was all their fault she turned out like that, that feeling of being misunderstood but not being given the chance to explain is a painful experience, especially when it's the people closest to her that think of her that way, it hurts to hear people talking about you in a way that you would talk about someone you resented because you know its all true, all those people at the church whispering things about her being irredeemable made her feel like she wasn't a person to any of them and that whatever she said would be disregarded as another excuse and that maybe she was just a horrible person to begin with and that people would be better off without her and vice versa, I hadn't finished the game yet, but all her interactions with sunny and Kel and the rest made me feel bad for her, her dialogue made me wanna go back and comfort her instead of taking basil to his house.
Aubrey is a very tragic character, her surrogate sister and potentially one of the only positive influences in her life dies, naturally she gets very emotional and starts lashing out, no one recognizes her lashing out as grief and merely writes her off as a good for nothing thug, including her own friends, which just forces her to take on the persona that everyone see's her as. It creates a vicious cycle where peoples perception of her shapes who she is, which in turn strengthens their beliefs about her.
Aubrey is ultimately a good girl who was immediately written off as a "lost cause" because no one could recognize she was hurting.
i never knew that Sunny was the one who has a crush on Aubrey and not the another way around like in headspace
i love this analysis! aubrey is one of my favourite characters in the game, and she’s really relatable to an extent
Hey, I just wanted to say you have a very relaxing voice. Also nice video!
Heh, thanks!
10:37 I love everyone looks sad…
That is except… sunny
3:19 actually no!kim and the hooligans would have to have been friends with sunny and co- because we have berly, mikal, van, and sharlene.
Sorry lemme just fix that typo
@Sweetheart they were definetly regular friends, just not as close as the main friendgroup
the only emotion sunny shows on the right side is being afraid for 1 second lmao
Absolutely phenomenal video. I've always felt the same way about Aubrey's character.
Definitely keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to the other ones you do.
You know that a game is good when you can't explain it with words
I think the most fascinating part of Aubrey is she's not introduced as this typical rude bully character. Because she was introduced as such a sweet, albeit sometimes fiery charicature, it makes her re-introduction pack such a devastating punch.
Headspace Aubrey may be flanderized to a degree, but the reveal is drastic all the same. Kel's reveal was bittersweet and hopeful, while Aubrey's was tragic. People talk about the themes of trauma and grief, but I think the growth of these characters is fascinating. What happened truly impacted them, and there's a sort of distance to them now. A heartwrenching tension, because they'll never really be the same as they once were.
Man, I love all these Omori analysis videos, excited to see what you do with the rest of the characters! I think that you really seem to get what makes Aubrey so interesting and certainty made me notice a few things that I still hadn't noticed even after research for my own video essay over Omori. Obviously I subscribed, hope to see one over Basil, as he's obviously (in my fair and unbiased opinion) the best character
Came into this video excited to learn about my favorite character, came out *CRYING*
looking into these characters’ flaws, character development, and influence on the stories is seriously getting me into writing
Why hero is a good character:
Because Mari says so
I agree, honestly I love all the main characters of omori
If you ever make another OMORI character analysis video, I'll be here to watch it! I am blown away by how well done this was. The video covered pretty much every major beat of Aubrey's character concisely yet thoroughly, bringing in every bit of evidence scattered throughout the game and drawing it into a cohesive whole that encapsulates her story perfectly. It is really so well done, and it does OMORI great justice in my opinion.
0:30 hehe.... sans... It never gets old
Ah... Yes I just spoiled myself the entire game despite knowing that the video contains spoilers and having a warning at the beginning.
"Sometimes my stupidity is... It's almost frightening"
-someone, probably
I remember I was planning on making a video similar to this one as one of the first on my channel. I was sad at first to see someone beat me to the punch but now I'm glad since this is great, far better than what I could do as of right now.
One of my friends sent me a piano cover of duet, So I thought it sounded nice (Didn't know about the game at all) And then I stumbled on some recommendations of the game and then listened to the ost. Wanted to know what the game was about so I can build a connection to the piece (Or any piece in the ost) to learn it because Iike to do that when learning pieces. Saw some amazing videos like "The Psychology of Omori" and some others, then I started looking into the lore, yeah probably a bad idea because now:
A. I just can't stop watching Omori videos
B. The Ost just hits different now, and you can just feel the emotions in EVERY track
C. The lore is amazingly built and goes WAY deeper than I expected and touches on very deep psychological issues and dealing with trauma. It's really good and shows how people deal with trauma differently.
Also, this game was made in 6 years and had a rewrite aswell?! That's mindblowing!
I love Aubrey sm! She's written so well ❤
Aubrey is one of my favorite characters in Omori so I'm pretty glad to see this video
Little tidbit about present Aubrey: the headband she wears actually used to be Mari’s (as seen in one of the calendar project pictures)
AUBLEY best girl. she's always kind and caring in nature. She never forget about the past friend, even taking care of her grave. her family's is poor, but she's getting by. She a teenager now she's just going through delinquency. she'll get bet soon. hope she will marry Omori.
This guy is the best youtuber, his statistics says he has a total of 100.1% viewers
iv'e cried at 2:00 and y'all ?
This is why I grew to love Aubrey as my favorite character, the way she was written as well as her character development was excellent
Oooh this is so good!! I recommend doing Kel next, he is my favorite and he is an amazing character too! :>
Great analysis bro. The characters in Omori are so well made
watching this video when he says she was born somewhere in the 80s makes a lot of sense, I've always thought this game took place in the 80s
Amazing video. I thought it was months old and only checked after that it was uploaded a few days ago! Definitely worth the watch!
5:27 It looked like she was moving to leave, not confront them, though...
Thank you for making me cry 🥲🥲
YESSS DO A VIDEO FOR EACH CHARACTER ILY
10:31
Aubrey: Emotionless, shattered and thinking she's the reason he died.
Hero: Trying to hide his devastation like he does with Mari.
Kel: Breaking down as he can't understand why this keeps happening to them.
Sunny: 😐
1:30 it's the reverse. Aubrey very clearly had feelings for Sunny but he never showed signs of reciprocation due to his shy and quiet nature
Really? I always thought in Headspace that Sunny was projecting his own feelings onto Aubrey so he could live out his own personal fantasy of having Aubrey fawn over him.
Also, during the Memory Lane sequence of the game, Basil says to Sunny "You always ask to look at my photo whenever I take any pictures of AUBREY. Do I... maybe... sense a little crush?" Followed by narration, "You feel your ears turning red..." hinting very obviously at Sunny having feelings for Aubrey.
Furthermore, in Black Space 2, the small scene where a group of Aubreys fight each other to be Sunny's girlfriend could represent Sunny's hidden desire for validation from Aubrey, and how he secretly enjoys the prospect of Aubrey fighting over him (Black Space is the realm of corrupted and repressed thoughts, after all).
By the way, after the good ending, you can get a secret cutscene,
if you watered basil's flowers in the dream world every day.
i found this out on accident on my omori playthrough!
I recently finished the true ending of Omori. I was pretty impressed with how much I liked Aubrey.
I think the moment I saw how she was acting, I knew what was up. Her old self still there, but buried under her new persona.
As a side thing, I like to assume she does know about Sunny's feelings towards her, but doesn't know how to respond to that. At least, not until she's matured into the 16 year old she now is.
But still unlike Mari and Hero, it's not as explicit.
Thank you for existing
I love how you had to state that you aren't an Aubrey Simp in the description LOL
