— CIPHER |
CIPHER is a character and NPC in OMORI. They are one of the many mysterious creatures residing within the DEEPER WELL of the UNDERWATER HIGHWAY.
PROFILE[]
APPEARANCE[]
CIPHER is a light turquoise one-eyed creature that appears to be covered in large clumps of hair.
PERSONALITY[]
Like the other DEEPER WELL residents, CIPHER appears to be aware of the truth surrounding the existence of HEADSPACE and by extension, the truth regarding MARI's death. CIPHER, in particular, is aware that life was a lot more simple and peaceful when MARI was still alive.
STORY[]
TWO DAYS LEFT[]
CIPHER appears on one of the many islands forming DEEPER WELL, right near the entrance to trench where the other three remaining NPCs can be found. When speaking to them as OMORI, CIPHER will solemnly mention that "the sun shined brighter... when she was here..."
This likely refers to MARI's death having a great impact on her loved ones she left behind. Speaking to them with any other party member will simply lead to them only hearing mumbling.
ONE DAY LEFT[]
After saving BASIL from BLACK SPACE and resetting HEADSPACE on the OMORI ROUTE, all DEEPER WELL residents appear to have vanished entirely.
However, CIPHER appears to be the only resident to still remain in DEEPER WELL alongside HUMPHREY, despite being aware of the origins of HEADSPACE and MARI's death. They will repeat the same dialogue they mentioned the previous day when OMORI speaks to them.
