So why is Hero’s age and grade important? Therefore, Hero is 19 and finishing up his College Freshman year. There’s no way he’d reach the Summer of his Sophomore Year without hitting his birthday twice over two Winter Breaks, which would put him over 19. Therefore, Hero cannot be finishing up his Sophomore Year. Hero’s birthday is on Jan 1st, New Years Day, over the Winter. The games event happen during Summer Vacation, since none of the students go to school. So that means he’s either a College Freshman or Sophomore. (Either of these are actually possible given his special circumstance.) Least assume Hero did not skip a year or get held back a year. (He’s confirmed to be 15 in Headspace, where Omori is frozen at age 12, and Sunny is 12 the day Mari died.) You thought this was over? We still have to talk about college boy. If we assume HOBBEZ gets the N64 is debut year of 96, (N64, NA: September 29, 1996) That means at the latest OMORI would take place the Summer of 96 before it debuted that Fall.Īt ‘most likely’ latest, OMORI happens in 96 and Mari dies 92/93 However, picking 1999 assumes HOBBEZ is peddling the last new SNES on the market, AND somehow didn’t get an N64 in the 4 years its been out. We know that the game cannot take place after the SNES is sold as new:Īt absolute latest, OMORI happens in 1999 and Mari dies 95/96 Mari has to have died 2 years after the Gameboy releases in 1989 Which means Mari died at earliest 1991.Īt absolute earliest, OMORI happens in 94/95 and Mari dies 91 He also couldn’t have received it the birthday before that Christmas since then it would have come out 11 days after his birthday… DISCUSSION: If that’s the case, we know Sunny didn’t get the Gameboy the Christmas before her death, since the only present he got was the violin. Lets assume Sunny only gets presents on Christmas and his Birthdays. Therefore, Mari died in at least Oct, 1990 or later. Since the Gameboy would have came out 5 months after Basil’s birthday, when Sunny has it already. 18th.īasically, Sunny needs to get that Gameboy first, before Mari can die.
Sunny is seen with the Gameboy on Basil’s birthday Feb. This date would fit comfortably in the 1991 - 1996 (and 1999) time frame. The original Gameboy released in NA: July 31, 1989 Which means, despite the visual evidence, we have to assume Sunny has the original Gameboy equivalent. He’d have to get the GB Color 4 year earlier for that to be possible. Mari did not, in fact, die the same year as the events of the game. Any later, and the SNES wouldn’t be sold as brand new since the SNES discontinued 1999. Then we could say with complete confidence that OMORI took place in: 1999Īny earlier, and the GB Color wouldn’t be released. If in an AU, the events of OMORI happened the same year of Maris death (which takes place in October). The Gameboy Color released in NA: November 18, 1998 Meanwhile the GB Color has a square panel for its back just like Sunny’sįurthermore, the dead give away is that the power switch on Sunny’s is placed right where its located on the Gameboy Color. The GB has a stripped back that Sunny’s doesn’t have. Although, neither are a perfect match, I think its a the Gameboy Color for two reasons, the back panel and power switch placement: The issue here is determining whether Sunny has a Gameboy or Gameboy Color.
So it could have been sold on store shelves as late as 1999. Note: The SNES officially discontinued in 1998. So that gives us a timeframe for the events of the game. The SNES was only sold as the newest console in North America from: The old gen console in HOBBEZ seems to be modeled on the NES and the “brand new” one seems to be modeled on the SNES. Ironically, the key to dating the game are games. The cars give us only a general time frame.Īgain, they look like late 80′s to early 00′s.Īlthough the fact that all of them look like boxcars takes a point against it taking place in the 2000′s, since none of them look modern. With that in mind, lets try to piece it together. I know the game doesn’t take place in our universe but rather is adjacent to our. Some people think the game take place in the late 80′d, others the early 00′s. This one’s been a long time coming but it’s about time I pulled an OMORI and took a stab at this.
