| — BREAKTIME |
BREAKTIME is a game mechanic featured in OMORI. BREAKTIME events can be initiated in the locations of both HEADSPACE and FARAWAY TOWN, mostly through interacting with sparkles on a specific object. These lead to short sequences that usually have no impact gameplay-wise.
OVERVIEW
Interacting with the breaktime events usually leads to a short sequence featuring OMORI/SUNNY and his friends spending time together. These events typically have no effect gameplay-wise, but some events (in HEADSPACE) can restore the group's HEART and JUICE. Note some of these events can be done without interacting with a sparkling object or speech bubble.
For information regarding the picnic locations shown throughout the game, see the PICNICS page.
LOCATIONS
HEADSPACE
| Location | Event | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
 WHITE SPACE |
OMORI will sit down in place and remain idle unless the player moves him again. This can happen in any spot within WHITE SPACE, as long as OMORI remains still. | If the player does not move or interact with anything there for two minutes, this will trigger the short OMORI breaktime event. |
 NEIGHBOR'S ROOM |
OMORI and his friends sit down together in the room to play a game of cards. After about 90 seconds, they accidentally knock over the cards and start over. | Interacting with the sparkle hovering over the scattered cards. |
 NORTH COAST |
The group will decide to build sandcastles or swim through the waters. The sandcastle designs can vary randomly when doing the sequence repeatedly. | Interacting with the sparkling bucket and shovel. Cannot be done during the NORTH LAKE segment with MARI or KEL. |
 PINWHEEL FOREST |
OMORI and his friends will go fly their kites of differing appearances. Some of the kites resemble characters such as the BIG YELLOW CAT or ORANGE JOE. | Available after defeating KITE KID and KID'S KITE. Interacting with the sparkling kite right next to KITE KID. |
 FROZEN LAKE |
A random member of the team fishes, while the others wait on the bridge. There is a slight chance of obtaining nothing, or creatures and objects that are thrown back to the lake. Only a few items can be kept. | Interacting with the fishing rod near one of the holes of the frozen lake. |
 JUNKYARD |
The group decides to relax on a large couch, watching the starry sky of HEADSPACE and the large glowing moon. The first time doing this event, the group has a dialogue together. | Initiated only if the group interacts with the text bubble hovering over the couch. This is also located next to one of the JOKE BOARDS. |
 RAIN TOWN |
OMORI will plant himself on one of the vegetable patches, and doing so leads to a sequence where the monochrome boy becomes a potato himself. | Going near the leftmost center field in an empty patch as solely OMORI results in him sitting down and becoming a potato after about nine seconds. |
 SPROUT MOLE VILLAGE |
OMORI and his friends end up exercising on one of the nearby treadmills at the bottom of the village. Over time, HERO becomes exhausted and stops exercising to catch his breath. | Available after turning the power back on in the village. Interacting with the sparkling empty treadmill. |
 THE ROYAL THEATER |
The group watches one of the eleven SWEETHEART movies presented in her ROYAL THEATER. Note that watching all eleven is required to get the "Everyone's a critic" achievement. | Interacting with the sparkling tea set in the middle of the room. |
 SWEETHEART'S GARDEN |
AUBREY and HERO decide to have a small tea party while OMORI and KEL sit themselves out on one of the nearby benches. | Interacting with the sparkling set of tea supplies. |
 LAST RESORT |
OMORI and his friends decide to play in the empty ball pit, only to give unamused looks upon realizing there's nothing fun about this attraction. | Interacting with the sparkling ball pit on the fourth floor of the casino. |
 CLUB SANDWICH |
The group decides to lounge at CLUB SANDWICH, drinking beverages while having a good time together. In each CLUB SANDWICH, doing this for the first time will grant a permanent 5 max JUICE boost for all party members. | Interacting with the sparkling beverage on the table. |
 MUSTARD SUB |
The group decides to dine out while listening to the background music playing in DEEP WELL's local cafe zone. | Interacting with the delicious set of food on one of the tables. |
 SNOWGLOBE MOUNTAIN |
The group decides to huddle up near an abandoned campfire, trying to keep themselves warm in the chilly forest leading up to the mountain. There is a 20% chance the group sits together instead of sitting around the campfire. | Interacting with the sparkling campfire in the southwest area of the snow field. |
FARAWAY TOWN
Most FARAWAY TOWN breaktime events can be initiated once AUBREY joins SUNNY's group on ONE DAY LEFT of the SUNNY ROUTE. From there, the group can do certain events reminiscent of the good old days of their childhood.

KEL  The Moon looks gigantic from here! This is the most beautiful place I've ever seen! AUBREY  But there's so much litter around... How can you say it's beautiful? KEL  AUBREY, AUBREY... Don't be such a wet blanket. Look at things on the bright side! KEL You know what I always say... "You just gotta wake up and smell the roses!" AUBREY  You don't always say that! |

AUBREY  Hey, SUNNY... Sorry, I was so mean to you before. AUBREY  I think seeing you just caught me by surprise... though I guess that's a pretty crappy excuse. AUBREY I hope you've been doing okay and stuff... I'm sure everything was really hard for you to deal with. AUBREY Sometimes I think I was the one that should have been there for you. AUBREY I don't know if we'll really ever get over MARI's death... but it's okay to take it slow. AUBREY  To allow yourself to feel every emotion... and to have patience. AUBREY  A-Anyway, I just want you to know... that I still care about you and stuff. AUBREY I've been thinking about this since I saw you, but I think you're looking a little pale... and kind of thin, too. AUBREY After you move, promise me you'll go outside more often, okay? |

KEL  Hey, AUBREY! AUBREY What do you want, KEL? KEL  I've been thinking... We get into fights all the time, huh? AUBREY Yeah, we do... KEL  But even after everything, we're still friends, right? AUBREY Yeah... I guess we are... KEL  Huh... Isn't that weird? AUBREY Maybe... I don't know... HERO  Heh heh... Oh, you two... That just means that you two are really comfortable around each other. HERO  I'm a little jealous you two can be so candid even after all this time. I think that's something really special. KEL Really? I was just about to say that I find it kind of annoying... AUBREY  ... Ugh... you're such an idiot. |
TRIVIA
- Some breaktime events in FARAWAY TOWN have special dialogue depending on when they are activated:
- FARAWAY PARK: When doing the swingset event for the first time, a short cutscene will play out. AUBREY apologizes to SUNNY for her previous actions while reflecting on them. AUBREY also notes that she still cares about SUNNY's well-being and asks him to go outside more often.
- HANGOUT SPOT: When doing the picnic event for the first time, a short cutscene will play out where KEL and AUBREY discuss that despite their constant fights nowadays, they still remain good friends.
- The potato event in RAIN TOWN is a direct reference of one of OMOCAT's original OMORIBOY comics, titled "life would be so much better if I didn't look like a potato."
- The WHITE SPACE breaktime is referred to as WS Potato in the game's data, which is possibly another reference to the comic.
- If the party are still wearing the SPROUT MOLE MASKS, AUBREY and HERO will take their mask off and put them on the table during the breaktime event within SWEETHEART'S GARDEN.
- There was a glitch that GINO will block HERO's way during the GINO'S BREAKTIME event when he has left the arcade machine. The glitch has been fixed in the evening section but can still be triggered at morning.
- There was originally a 10% chance that a GATOR GUY would appear in the ball pit with the party when doing the LAST RESORT breaktime event. It was scrapped for unknown reasons.
- The prompt used for the picnic event at FARAWAY CEMETERY mirrors the one used for HEADSPACE's picnics.
- HEADSPACE: "Do you want to have a picnic with your friends?"
- FARAWAY CEMETERY: "Do you want to have a picnic with MARI?"
