In the biodegradable fork's name... Reduce, reuse, and recycle.  |
| — RECYCULTIST |
RECYCULTISTS are a group of characters and enemies in OMORI. They are loyal followers of the RECYCLEPATH, following his cause of recycling everything in the world.
PROFILE
APPEARANCE
A RECYCULTIST's overall appearance consists of them wearing a traditional white shirt with a black tie, grey pants, and brown belt attached to their waist. Their most defining feature is the recycling can that covers their faces.
PERSONALITY
As loyal followers of the "Holy Bin", the RECYCULTISTS desire to carry out RECYCLEPATH's will to recycle every piece of trash located within FARAWAY TOWN. This extends to the point of repeating his catchphrases and speaking in cryptic codes upon being interacted with.
STORY
THREE DAYS LEFT
The RECYCULTISTS are first encountered on this day, in which two of them can be seen standing at a corner behind the basketball court at FARAWAY PARK during the morning. Upon being interacted with, they will chant their motto of wanting to recycle and cleanse the world of all of its trash. The two RECYCULTISTS can still be found during the evening as well.
TWO DAYS LEFT
The RECYCULTISTS are still standing on the same spot but this time with their leader RECYCLEPATH, who will only appear if the player decides to complete the FLOOR LAMP side quest in the evening. They will speak the same dialogue upon being interacted with.
ONE DAY LEFT
If the player successfully finishes the FLOOR LAMP quest for FASHIONABLE MOM, the RECYCULTISTS will bring their plan into fruition by constructing a large dungeon titled RECYCULTIST'S HQ. From there, the player can access the dungeon through the HANGOUT SPOT during the morning. Various RECYCULTISTS will attempt to attack the party as they journey through the location.
They will also aid RECYCLEPATH during his boss fight. Regardless of what outcome the player obtains, RECYCLEPATH realizes his vision was off the mark as his ideal "trashless" world can be still be made a reality and decides to make the world a better place instead of purging it.
This entire sequence is ultimately revealed to be SUNNY daydreaming as the latter awakens in the HANGOUT SPOT. What becomes of the RECYCULTISTS is unclear but it's implied they are currently helping their boss clean up any dirty areas around FARAWAY TOWN.

Every turn, each enemy will start by trying to use the skill listed at the top. If the calculation fails, they move on to the second skill and so on, until reaching the final skill which is guaranteed to activate. Each calculation is done independently from the previous ones, so the added percentage is not 100%.
