TREEHOUSE is a location in OMORI. It is SUNNY's old treehouse which he and his friends built four years ago. It is currently abandoned and decayed.
GEOGRAPHY
The TREEHOUSE can be accessed by entering through a clearing north of the backyard of SUNNY'S HOUSE. It is made of wooden planks and placed on top of a large tree.
The interior of the TREEHOUSE is now rusty and abandoned, mainly due to the group not using it for four years after MARI's death. Its design in the past reveals that it used to be full of life, and a place where the group could relax peacefully. There are also a few vines wrapped around the wood and many of its decorations are decayed in terms of design and color.
These objects all used to belong to the main characters. Some of them include AUBREY's MR. PLANTEGG, HERO's old cookbooks, and MARI's old softball bat. This is also where the last missing photo of the PHOTO ALBUM is located.
STORY
BACKGROUND
The TREEHOUSE was built by SUNNY and his friends four years before the game's events. The friend group would typically use the place for relaxing and playing card games. They also planned to use it more often once next summer arrived. However, the TREEHOUSE was abandoned since the group drifted apart due to MARI's death.
Since then, the TREEHOUSE became more discolored and moldy as time passed on. Despite this, during his four years as a hikikomori, SUNNY would use the TREEHOUSE as the basis for NEIGHBOR'S ROOM, a colorful area where he could visit imaginary versions of his friends as OMORI in HEADSPACE.
It would also be used for the creation of NEIGHBOR'S BEDROOM whenever OMORI needed to reset HEADSPACE to repress any fragments of the truth regarding MARI's death.
ONE DAY LEFT
The TREEHOUSE only becomes available in the evening of ONE DAY LEFT. After entering SUNNY'S HOUSE and reflecting on the past, the group decides to revisit the TREEHOUSE. Upon entering, SUNNY, KEL, HERO, and AUBREY reminisce on old memories, and find the missing photo from the PHOTO ALBUM. AUBREY is then overcome with emotion, and runs out of the TREEHOUSE.

TRIVIA
- There are two early versions of the cutscene of the group entering the TREEHOUSE.
- The first one (MAP469) uses an unused track along with the dialogue being placed out of order.
- The second one (MAP927) doesn't include the sequence where the group views the PHOTO ALBUM after SUNNY finds the last missing photo.
- Many of its decorations appear in HEADSPACE but slightly more colorful and creative.
- The song that plays upon entering the TREEHOUSE is a more somber, bittersweet version of "Lost At A Sleepover", the song used whenever OMORI greets his friends in NEIGHBOR'S ROOM.
