What is OMORI?
Omori is a psychological horror role-playing video game developed by indie studio OMOCAT. The game tells the story of a hikikomori boy named Sunny and his dream world alter-ego Omori, exploring the real world and the surreal dream world to overcome his repressed fears and secrets. He is joined by a party of his close friends as they explore the overworld and engage in turn-based battles against fantastical enemies, with status effects based on the characters' emotions. The game has two routes with multiple endings based on the player's choices. (Wikipedia, 2020).

Questions contain spoilers, don't watch, don't read if you haven't finished the game.

Questions tackled in the video:
How did you find out about OMORI?
What do you like about OMORI?
What was your reaction to the OMORI Truth Album (plot twist)?
Who is your favorite character? (limited to the main cast, consisting of Sunny, Kel, Aubrey, Hero, Basil, Mari)
What did you think the story would be before the twist?
What do you think happened after Sunny revealed the truth?
Do you think Sunny and Basil could every be friends with Aubrey, Hero, Kel again?
Do you think Mari was still alive after being pushed by Sunny?
How long was your OMORI playthrough?

TL;DW (for those who can't bother)
Our main man here thinks that
1. Mari was dead after having been pushed.
2. Hero's reaction to Sunny's truth is probably violence.
3. Aubrey is best character, dare I say best waifu
4. It'd take a long time to heal the friendship between Sunny, Basil and the others, probably decades.
5. 30 - 40 hours of playtime, most of it was spent being a Zoro in the Junkyard.
6. Reaction to the plot twist: Oh no
7. The plot would be something similar to Anohana, an anime.
