HOBBEEZ is a location in OMORI. It is a local shop where one can buy old items and toys for the sake of nostalgia.
GEOGRAPHY[]
HOBBEEZ is located in the FARAWAY PLAZA to the left of GINO'S and to the right of the fountain.
HOBBEEZ has a few other activities to do here as well. Talking to SHOPKEEP gives the opportunity to purchase a PET ROCK for $10, initiating the entire PET ROCKS minigame across FARAWAY TOWN.
A music CD can be found behind the poster, and the five CDs on display can also be purchased for $10 each. One can also interact with an INTERESTING POSTER in the top right corner of HOBBEEZ. Doing so will allow SUNNY to fight JACKSON. Defeating him will allow SUNNY to obtain the MERRY CD.
HOBBEEZ also doubles as a pawn shop where you can sell unneeded items in the real world.
The game cabinet lets you play CAPT. SPACEBOY'S SPACE ADVENTURE. Beat SHOPKEEP'S high score of 6000 points and you get the COOL GLASSES as a reward. The gacha machine lets you get random charms with aesthetic function (Excluding the CHIMERA KEYCHAIN, which give +5 Luck), but only one of each charm can be awarded to the player..
STORY[]
THREE DAYS LEFT[]
KEL leads SUNNY to revisit HOBBEEZ as their first activity of the day. They search the place for an ideal gift for HERO who's due to return home the next day. HERO’S GIFT costs $20, which gets deducted off SUNNY'S balance. SUNNY can also interact with other objects, which will prompt KEL to comment on every nostalgic moment he remembers four years ago. In addition, the only enemy SUNNY can fight is JACKSON, a strange creature resembling something out of HEADSPACE, and defeating them will yield the MERRY CD.
TWO DAYS LEFT[]
SUNNY and KEL can still visit HOBBEEZ to buy anything from there or complete the PET ROCKS sidequest given by SHOPKEEP. In the evening, the group can also revisit the area with HERO to help WRINKLY FOREHEAD buy a gift for his son's tenth birthday.
ONE DAY LEFT[]
After reconciling with AUBREY, the friend group can revisit HOBBEEZ alongside the other shops within FARAWAY PLAZA. Interacting with the bottom left aisle containing comic books will lead to a special event.
The event shows the group searching through the aisle, until SUNNY pulls out a comic book for everyone to see. SUNNY sets the comic book on the floor and the group sits down to read it. As SUNNY continues flipping through the pages, KEL starts laughing out loud while slamming the floor with his hand repeatedly. This results in an annoyed AUBREY pushing him in a comical fashion, launching him more than his height into the air. HERO sighs at AUBREY and KEL's antics, while SUNNY stares ahead with no reaction. Regardless, KEL immediately stands up and goes back to where he was sitting with his friends.
If one wants to help ARTIST find her little brother ANGEL, the player should interact with ANGEL standing near right side of the room. The group will then inform him that his sister is waiting for him to complete some errands. Regardless of the answer, ANGEL will head to ARTIST'S HOUSE, only to receive a punishment that can be heard outside of the house. This will complete the sidequest and yield a RARE CARD.

TRIVIA[]
- On TWO DAYS LEFT, the player can briefly encounter visions of a younger AUBREY and KEL standing near the aisle containing comic books at morning. Interacting with them will cause them to vanish.
- RAI appears in HOBBEEZ during the night of ONE DAY LEFT. However, this cannot be properly seen in game due to HOBBEEZ being inaccessible at that time.
