THE DOCKS, also known as WATER WALKWAY[1], is one of the five primary BLACK SPACE 2 locations in OMORI. It can be accessed through one of the doors in the BLACK SPACE 2 hub, only on the OMORI ROUTE.
GEOGRAPHY
THE DOCKS is a series of numerous walkways placed over a large, hollow sea. The area notably features various objects alluding memories of SUNNY's distant past. Along with that, certain objects such as the swing set from FARAWAY PARK and the bathtub from SUNNY'S HOUSE appear there too.
A few ANGI can be seen populating the location but will not attempt to attack the player as they only serve as non-interactable NPCs. Certain rooms of this place features faint reminders of the truth SUNNY attempted to repress for a long time.
NOTABLE AREAS
THE KITCHEN
Interacting with the pot south of the starting point will transport OMORI into a monochrome-colored kitchen. In this kitchen features HERO trying to find some ingredients to create something delicious. Talking to HERO will prompt him to ask OMORI for help to find something to create.
When bringing him some ☐☐☐, HERO will give OMORI ☐☐ ☐☐, an mysterious snack that recovers 100 HP. Obtaining this item will also unlock the HEROSAURUS ROOM in CLOUD WALKWAY. It will also change HERO's sprite in the WEATHERVANE AREA into a more "handsome" version of himself. After HERO is given three ☐☐☐, he will give OMORI a 'KEY' INGREDIENT the next time he receives another ☐☐☐, which cannot be used in the inventory.
CORRUPTED JUNKYARD
The CORRUPTED JUNKYARD has roughly the same layout as the normal JUNKYARD, but there's visible chunks of distorted objects blending with its atmosphere. It can be accessed through a door near the north-eastern side of THE DOCKS, near the hidden bridge to RED MAZE.
Some of the objects that show up consist of the FACELESS, HELLMARI, LITTLE ONES, and a tree with a noose on it. There's even a room with multiple hanged MARIS and LITTLE ONES. The out of bound areas resemble the borders of BLACK SPACE. For information, see the original page.
LOST AT SEA
LOST AT SEA takes on the appearance of a collection of rooms featuring a distorted noise playing in the background and sea-themed. It also features a big black sea and a well containing a hidden message near the bottom of the area.
It can be accessed by interacting with the boat in the lower right corner of THE DOCKS. From there, OMORI can briefly view few sprites consisting of SUNNY in his bathtub and numerous other bathtubs floating around. At the end of these rooms reveals several HANGMAN letters spelling "I'M SORRY". For more information, see the original page.
STATIC VOID
The STATIC VOID takes on the appearance of large room filled with many BLACK SPACE aesthetics. The outside part of the room features numerous objects from both BLACK SPACE and BLACK SPACE 2.
It can be accessed by having UNIVERSAL REMOTE equipped on OMORI and interacting with the TV next to BATZY in SPROUT MOLE COLONY. This entrance can only be done on ONE DAY LEFT of the OMORI ROUTE. It was also originally accessed through a black door that appears in THE DOCKS, though this entrance was eventually entirely removed in future updates of the game. For more information, see the original page.
RED MAZE
The RED MAZE can be accessed from the northeastern DOCKS. A hidden pathway via going up from the middle of a bridge and then following blindly upwards is the way to access it. From there, OMORI can wander through an endless maze where some floating pieces of TOAST move around.
Touching the floating pieces of TOAST within the RED MAZE will transport OMORI into a different section of the maze populated by hanged MARIs. Touching any of these MARIs will drain OMORI's HP. After a short period of time, they will turn into disturbing, realistic, distorted versions of MARI that will loudly screech when coming into contact with OMORI. By going down the ladder in the maze and progressing forward, you will encounter DADDY LONGLEGS sitting in a chair, who warns OMORI to "go back before it's too late". For more information, see the original page.
MARI IS HOME
MARI IS HOME serves as a recreation of SUNNY'S HOUSE, where SUNNY can meet up with his friends. This area is noticeably different than the regular incarnation, with notable differences being the noose in the bathroom, a gigantic STRANGER peering over SUNNY's room, and MOM's room having a much larger hallway.
The piano room also is completely lacking a piano and instead has a trapdoor where it would normally be, leading to a basement with a long hallway. For information, see the original page.
RED ROOM
RED ROOM is a special subarea of RED SPACE, which can be accessed through MARI IS HOME. It features the same background RED SPACE uses and contains multiple stumps with knives stabbed in various places, as well as flower crowns resembling BASIL's crown.
The entire layout of this map presumably references the tree MARI's body was hanged on, BASIL's status with this tree, and the birthplace of SOMETHING. For information, see the original page.
ALTERNATE ENTRANCES
- In the BACKYARD AREA, after the player waits for 143 seconds after collecting the key with SOMETHING behind them, this will grant them the option to jump down the missing tiles, gaining access to THE DOCKS. This is the only way to access RED SPACE and by extension BLACK SPACE 2 in the SUNNY ROUTE.

TRIVIA
- Many of the disoriented objects found around the area are from both HEADSPACE and FARAWAY TOWN.
- The OTHERMART LADY can also appear in this area, only if the player accesses the location on the SUNNY ROUTE. She will occasionally walk across the water to either stare or laugh at the player. This has no effect on the gameplay.
- Attempting to slash the cobweb that blocks an inaccesible room for a total of nine times will cause it to vanish entirely. This will also prompt the text box to read "You are afraid." upon interacting with said door.
- There was originally a door that led to the STATIC VOID room. However, it was removed entirely in future updates of the game. It is currently unknown why this entrance was removed.[2]
- STRANGER briefly appears staring at the poorly drawn house that leads to the CORRUPTED JUNKYARD and near the entrance to LOST AT SEA. These events are rather hard to see due to the area's poor lighting but can be seen more clearly via the RPG Maker MV project. In addition, STRANGER is labeled as basil in the data.
- If the requirements for MARI IS HOME are met, a swing from FARAWAY PARK appears right next to the door leading to that area. On rare occasions, SUNNY and AUBREY can both briefly appear sitting on the swings for a split second.
- In the text where HERO gives OMORI a ☐☐ ☐☐, he actually gives another ☐☐☐ as shown when checking the items inventory. This is most likely an oversight made by the developers themselves.
