A floating mirror. Your friends smile warmly behind you. |
— MIRRORS |
MIRRORS are a recurring motif featured in OMORI. They usually appear floating around the colorful areas of HEADSPACE. In the REAL WORLD, they can only be inspected within a house's bathroom.
OVERVIEW[]
HEADSPACE[]
In HEADSPACE, when interacting with a MIRROR, OMORI will usually see his friends smile warmly behind him. These ones will only reflect OMORI when passing by or looking directly into them (before interacting with it). Standing in front of the mirror with any other character tagged will result in an empty reflection.
There are a total of eleven MIRRORS that the player can interact with throughout HEADSPACE. Interacting with all mirrors in HEADSPACE will unlock the We'll always be there for you, OMORI achievement, only obtainable in the OMORI ROUTE.
For more details on the hidden mirror jumpscare, see the TRIVIA section below for chances of triggering it.
FARAWAY TOWN[]
In FARAWAY TOWN, MIRRORS can only be viewed inside a house's bathroom. One thing to note is that only SUNNY can properly view MIRRORS in either his own house or BASIL's house. Inspecting mirrors in other houses such as KEL'S HOUSE will prompt the text "A mirror."
Due to the trauma of MARI's death plaguing his mind for the past four years, SUNNY can occasionally see hallucinations of SOMETHING or distorted forms of MARI standing behind him at night. These all depend on the choices he makes throughout the game.
BLACK SPACE[]
In BLACK SPACE, only a few certain areas contain floating mirrors. Unlike the ones commonly found in HEADSPACE, interacting with them will not show a close-up of the character tagged as the leader, the only exception being the LAMP ROOM.
The floating mirrors found in TWOSIDE are breakable, and doing so will cause the reflections displayed to become more distorted than before. A lone floating mirror in LOOPING FOREST is where SHATTERED OMORI resides for his hide-and-seek minigame.
The most prominent one is the circular variant located within the LAMP ROOM, hanging on a wall next to the chair. Inspecting it will display a bloodied close-up of a monstrous-looking SUNNY. This version is only featured during THE TRUTH segment and briefly shown after finding the 9th HANGMAN key.

TRIVIA[]
- On rare occasions, there is a 5% chance where inspecting a MIRROR in HEADSPACE will trigger a distorted jumpscare, only after defeating PLUTO (EXPANDED). This easter egg applies to any floating mirror found throughout HEADSPACE and can happen on any route.
- There are two MIRRORS that are exclusive to the 2018 demo. One of them can be found in SPACE BOYFRIEND'S HOUSE, while the other is found in ROSA's room in SPROUT MOLE COLONY.
- Throughout the entirety of the game, in both HEADSPACE and FARAWAY TOWN, the images shown in mirrors are not reflections. This can be easily seen by taking note of certain characters' asymmetrical design traits; AUBREY's bow and OMORI/SUNNY's hair poofs are on the right side of their heads when viewing the mirrors, just as they are in all other contexts. It is unknown if this is a mistake or an intentional choice, and if the latter, what it means.
