Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a thank you once again for your auditions. I plan on having the cast set tomorrow, so be on the look out for a DM from me should you be casted!
Omori - In Summary is a one-shot 8-10 minute visual novel esque abridged summarizing a portion of the games Head Space utilizing original artwork, voice acting, and editing in-game footage to blend things together. This video is basically a one-shot love letter to the game and it's heavy storytelling.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a thank you once again for your auditions. I plan on having the cast set tomorrow, so be on the look out for a DM from me should you be casted!
Hey all! So, I want to go ahead and give you guys some serious thanks so far for your auditions. The casting call has just started and already I can see some performances being a great fit!
I look forward to seeing who else hops in, but I also want to share a brief update on how I plan to go about the project.
This is a one-shot video that covers only a bit of head space and not the entirety of the game. I think depending how things played out and just how much drive I have to product another summary video in this format would really determine if I carry-on with the project.
But that in mind, I was initially planning on utilizing my tried and true method of gameplay capture, black bars, and art from my talented friend.
However, given the duration of this one-shot and some small visual hiccups I've come across along the way, I decided to flash animate the entire thing to my limited ability using the in-game sprites.
I think as a whole that'll make things easier to edit together, along with adding my usual visual gags here and there. That's all for now! Keep up the amazing auditions! :)
An apathetic 12-year-old who appears to express very little emotion through the experiences he has despite his fondness for his friends. He only wants to ensure that everything is okay, and that his friends and his beloved sister are happy.
"I'm glad to see everyone is okay."
"Don't worry, I'll fix the album. I have good memory after all."
"What will they say when they find out? Were you just expecting them to accept you with open arms? That's not how it works."
Mari - Age 15
The loving and very caring sister of Omori. She is practically a perfect individual who cares deeply for her friends and provides them picnics to help them through their adventures. Mari is a teenage girl who is kind and gentle and gives very good advice on how her brother and friends should go about their journey. She does show a bit of a mischievous side however, namely poking fun at Kel and Aubrey and the occasional flirting with Hero.
"Hey! How's it going my dear little brother! Hm? You know. You should put a smile on that gloomy face of yours!"
"WOW. Kel, your arguments pretty sound, but Aubreys louder voice speaks to me in a way where I think she may be the one who's right!"
"No need to worry about me, beautiful. Maybe you should stick around and help me do away with the picnic. Haha! Just kidding, I can clean it up myself."
Omori's best friend who cares immensely for him! Basil is optimistic, although abit shy and quite humble. He can be very easy to put his trust in others and will give forgiveness to anyone that caused trouble due to his empathy. Basil will often put his friends feelings over his own and can be very sentimental about memories through the photo album that he enjoys taking photos for alongside his friends. Basil isn't a fan of conflict and will refuse to fight. (Age 12)
"Mari and I have been spending some time looking at my photo album! Wanna join us?"
"No, no. It's okay. N-No need to apologize. Accidents happen! Haha..."
"That's strange. I thought we put all the photos back in.......Wait.....Wha... Mari... No...!!"
Kel is a brash, goofy little boy who tends to joke around with his friends. Kel supports his friends the best he can and usually has good intentions, but can be abit hot-headed and not quite pick up on what's going on with the general mood. Kel can also be quite loud and annoying at points, but is a very optimistic individual. He particularly
has a very strong bond with his bro (Hero) and will tend to pick arguments with Aubrey. (Age 12)
"Omori! I'm so happy to see you, dude. Things have been kind of... different lately! Different as in, well... We're all employed now!"
"(Stuffing his mouth full of candy) Let's get a picture of all the candy I can fit in my mouth! It'll be one for the books!"
"What?! Why would I ever touch your lame eggplant toy thing?"
