OMORI/Unused Graphics

This is a sub-page of OMORI.

To do: Plenty.

Characters

Placeholder Portrait

An early drawing of a SPIDER CAT, stored in the game's directory for character portraits as "00_BLANK." Moreover, this design seems to be the design of the SPIDER CAT enemy, which is an enemy that goes unused in the final release of the game.

On a similar note to portraits, there also exists this, neat, portrait of all of AUBREY, KEL, and HERO's HEADSOACE portraits merged into one image. A similar image can be found in the sketchbook found in BLACK SPACE, however that image is merged with the rest of the sketchbook drawings, while this image is here on its own.

OMORI

The character OMORI has two unused images of what looks like the BLACK SPACE title screen, but separated into two different parts: one of his face and the other of his shadow. If both images are combined, the image creates the BLACK SPACE title screen, albeit only a single frame. Due to how dark his shadow is, this image is most likely from earlier in development, where the title screen of BLACK SPACE had a much darker shadow.

• 
• 
• 

  Both images combined.

SUNNY

SUNNY has a single unused portrait stored in MARI's spritesheet. It appears to be a lighter version of SUNNY, and it doesn't have much of a resemblance to any of his battle portraits. Notably, this portrait is called in a commented-out cutscene meant for the Good Ending. This portrait resembles a sketch that omocat has shown off in 2016.

Job Outfits

SUNNY also has job outfits that don't go used in-game.

• 

  Unused job outfit 1

• 

  Unused Fix-it outfit.

AUBREY

The image on the left shows an unused sprite sheet, presumably meant for a picnic cutscene in Faraway Town. The Gif on the right is a mockup of what the animation might have looked like in motion.

  Original sprite sheet

  Animated

MARI

Portraits

MARI has a full set of unused portraits for her appearance in the sequence before entering DEEP WELL for the first time. In-game, this spirit-like MARI only has one line of dialogue, and the portrait used has black eyes with white pupils.

Overworld

Similar to the portraits, MARI also has a set of unused sprites with her appearance being from the DEEP WELL sequence and her overworld appearance.

In the sprite sheet of the overworld MARI exists her moving both left and right. The idle for both animations would be used in certain places in-game, with left being when MARI checks on you during the final SOMETHING encounter, and the right when MARI turns to leave the DEEP WELL.

• 

Strangely, there is an unused animation of MARI transforming into SOMETHING. This is different from what's seen in the animation of the 10th HANGMAN KEY, as MARI is seen standing instead of being in a hole.

• 

There are also unused sprites of MARI playing the piano, similar to how the HEADSPACE heroes play the keyboard in CAPT. SPACEBOY's house. These sprites also include the stool merged with the animation, with the stool also being brighter than the stool seen in-game while MARI plays the piano.

• 

BASIL

Overworld

There exist sprites of FARAWAY BASIL with his camera, even though in he never uses it in the final game.

This sprite of BASIL huddled up in despair was shown on the OMORI Twitter account prior to the game's launch. Although it never appears in the final release, it can still be found in his spritesheet, along with a dark variant.

Curiously, there are sprites of BASIL nodding and shaking his head, suggesting he was intended to be playable at one point during development.

Alongside that, sprites of him stabbing himself with a knife, similarly to SUNNY. They appear to be unfinished, as the animation ends before he plunges the knife into his chest.

One of Basil's sprite sheets contains several black-and-white sprites, which look similar to those for Omori or Mari's spirit form.

Portraits

Portraits of FARAWAY BASIL looking especially angry can be found amongst his other portraits, both with and without his flower. Even during his most emotional moments, these portraits are never used.

Other unused portraits of FARAWAY BASIL show him with a dark shadow over his face.

There are also portraits of HEADSPACE BASIL in the dark, which are never used.

Miscellaneous

Stranger

Basil's grandmother appears as a 'Stranger' in-game, but these greyscale sprites aren't used. The increasingly lighter sprites were presumably part of a fading animation.

FARAWAY TOWN Enemies

An enemy sprite sheet for Faraway Town, showing the unused 'Crow' and 'Stray Dog' enemies. Due to a bug, the crow is sometimes loaded into the game instead of the 'recycultist' NPC sprites to its right.

Sleepover

Sprites of the OMORI cast sleeping in broad daylight and in the afternoon, found at the bottom of both FA_InteriorTileset.png and FA_sunset_interior.png respectively. As seen in the game, the OMORI cast only ever sleep with these blankets during the night, as the sleepover at BASIL's house only occurs at night and can never be visited during daytime nor afternoon.

Thank You

Strangely, there exists a sprite sheet of everyone you are able to meet in FARAWAY TOWN, plus a saddened gray-scale counterpart. According to the naming of this file stating "FA_thank_you.png", this may have been used during the hospital segment where you are able to get flowers based on how many side-quests you have done in FARAWAY TOWN. Along with it, there also exists a 'platform' texture intended for this scene according to its filename, which prominents a black image with a single "spotlight" in the middle.

• 

  FA_thank_you.png

• 

  Final_ThankyouPlatform.png

BLACKSPACE Scribble NPC

A sprite sheet of one of BLACKSPACE's NPCs, oddly inside the pictures folder. Interestingly, its filename doesn't seem to utilize the "$" prefix that a sprite sheet arranged in this form would need to have.

DREAM WORLD Demo Tags

First known versions of all the images that appear when the player tags a character in the DREAM WORLD, leftover from the game's demo. If you look closely they have skin color.

DREAM WORLD Early Tags

More tag images, this time closer to the final versions. The major differences include most of the drawings having additional details such as more detailed shading seen than in the final game. The colored backgrounds corresponding to each character also return from the demo's tags. Curiously, the "HERO TAGGED KEL" tag image in the final game used this revision (minus the background) up until version 1.0.4.

FARAWAY TOWN Early Tags

Early versions of the final FARAWAY TOWN tag images. Most of these were either redrawn or given additional detail for the final. The colored backgrounds make an appearance once again.

FARAWAY TOWN Emotions

In the FARAWAY TOWN segments of the game, the emotion mechanic is scarcely used. Nonetheless, unique sprites exist for all applicable party members. SUNNY and KEL can sometimes get SAD and ANGRY while in some battles, with KEL and HERO having the ability to be HAPPY through the use of Orange Joe and Hero Sandwich respectively.

Female SUNNY

In early stages of development, the option to choose SUNNY's/OMORI's gender was considered. Unfortunately, this feature got scrapped, and only OMORI can turn into the opposite gender via an item awarded in-game. However, sprites of SUNNY with pigtails still remain inside the files.

Enemies

Console Exclusive

MARI

The simulation of MARI fought during BASIL RUSH has a unique, glitchy death animation that goes unseen due to how her fight is scripted to end when her health reaches a certain point.

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

These appear to be early sketch versions of the console-exclusive boss battle sprites.

FEAR OF DARK

An early version of the SOMETHING IN THE DARK boss, which can be seen in the game's 2017 trailer (which is notably sped up) and exists as a placeholder enemy in the 2018 Kickstarter demo. All code for this iteration of the boss was removed from the final game, though its graphics still remain.

FEAR OF WATER

An early version of the SOMETHING IN THE WATER boss, which was redrawn and given color and additional frames in the final game. Once again, the sprites of this boss are all that remain of it.

• 

  Phase 1

• 

  Phase 2

• 

  Phase 3

SLIME GIRLS

All of the SLIME GIRLS have individual sprites, suggesting that they were all supposed to be fought separately than all together. In actuality, these sprites were actually supposed to only be for the FOE FACTS!, according to the RPG Maker Project. However, due to the FOE FACTS! only using neutral sprites, this leaves the rest of the spritesheet unused, even though the sprites are fully complete.

Battle Backgrounds

!battle_omori_3

A duplicate of one of OMORI's (the boss version) sprite sheets, its third phase specifically. It's unknown why this is in the battlebacks folder, could likely be a misplacement of sorts.

LILI Battle Background

A battle background most likely meant for the LILI SOMETHING Enemy. This background is actually seen in pre-release material.

FARAWAY Street

A battle background most likely meant for somewhere in FARAWAY. It's worth noting that this is actually called in the game, very specifically after MAVERICK's fight, the battle background is switched to this after the battle. However, since there seems to be no battles the player can engage with that doesn't change the battle background to some other picture without the use of debug at that point in the game, it makes this unable to be seen in normal gameplay.

Parallaxes

NEIGBOOR'S ROOM Tilemap

A tilemap image of the NEIGHBOOR'S ROOM lies in the parallax folder. It's unknown what this could have been used for.

RED SPACE Parallax

A duplicate of another parallax the game uses, "!parallax_black_space", with this one's name being "polaroidBG_BS_sky". Main things of note is that this is missing the "!" prefix the used version seems to utilize, and this is actually being preloaded in the title screen code- However, the code ends up calling "!parallax_black_space" for the background instead.

SWEETHEART'S CASTLE Color Wheel

An early version of the dress code for the mandatory quest in the ROYAL LIBRARY of SWEETHEART'S CASTLE. It was originally going to be much less strict.

"Free Jobs" Poster

A poster that would've showed up at the start of TWO DAYS LEFT, featuring the list of children that MR. JAWSUM tricked into working for him at the LAST RESORT. Of note are SHARLEEN and MIKAL'S respective early names, "CHARLENE" and "LADAO".

Unused PHOTO ALBUM Text

The text for the "The Truth" iteration of BASIL's PHOTO ALBUM is scratched out, leaving the Polaroids to tell the story of MARI's fate on their own. However, while the text message for each photograph exists (albeit without any text in them) in the game's files through an unused image for the album pages. Unlike other iterations of the PHOTO ALBUM, this one is narrated in second-person perspective to both SUNNY and BASIL.

• 

  Photo of a Wall - You heard some scoffing from behind the wall, but paid it no notice. You were in no mood to focus. You were overcame. You were sick of everything. You know it wasn't a big deal, but you couldn't control yourself.

• 

  Photo of a Broken Violin - Your precious violin lay shattered at the bottom of the staircase. You threw it in a rage. Your fingers were shaking in pain... practicing over and over... but you still make mistakes after mistakes. This was all a bad idea.

• 

  Photo of an Argument - MARI was yelling at you. You couldn't understand what she was saying. She didn't understand you at all... She didn't understand that you just weren't good enough. The only thing you hold onto was your anger. This pain... was it her fault?

• 

  Photo of a Fight - MARI blocked your path. She says that she isn't finished talking. She tells you not to run away... but why not? You did this all for her! Why was she yelling at you? You didn't understand...

• 

  Photo of a Murder - You lose all sense and push her down the staircase.

• 

  Photo of Silence - You watched MARI crush on top of your broken violin. The sound wakes you up to nothing but silence. You called out to her, but she doesn't answer. Your heart sinks into your stomach.

• 

  Photo of Panic - It happened in an instant. You didn't mean to do that. Well, you did mean to push her, didn't you? It was an accident, right? You're not sure. You tremble your way down the staircase.

• 

  Photo of Desperation - You call her name, but she doesn't answer. You sweep the bits of wood from her body. Nothing but scratches. You turn her around and see her face. She looks asleep... but then, why isn't she answering?

• 

  Photo of an Accomplice - You pick up Mari and drag her up the stairs. She feels lighter than you think. She just needs to lie down in a bed... She just needs some rest...

• 

  Photo of Disbelief - Your heart beats out of your chest. Your head feels fuzzy. You lose vision. You push the door to the bedroom open, and make your way to her bed. She's going to be okay, right? This is just a dream, right?

• 

  Photo of Anguish - You call her name over and over, but she doesn't answer. You watch the light from the window cast a shadow over her face. She's expressionless. You sink your fingers into her arm, and break down into tears.

• 

  Photo of Guilt - You want to scream for help, but you're afraid... you mumble to yourself... what if they ask what happened? There's no way you can tell them the truth. Who would be able to forgive him? Who would believe... that it was... an accident?

• 

  Photo of an Idea - A whisper comes from behind you, but you ignore it. A cry comes from behind you, but you ignore it. You cover your face with your arms. This isn't real. None of this real. Why won't you wake up?

• 

  Photo of Hopelessness - Everything appears dark. The shadows slither around you. You don't understand what is happening... Your head starts to feel fuzzy... You sink into a crevice in your mind... an empty white room.

• 

  Photo of Support - Your shoulders feel heavy. A familiar voice whispers something unspeakable. Your eyes widen. It tells you to follow its lead. It says... it's the only way out... It says... that everything will be okay.

• 

  Photo of Betrayal - You pick up MARI's body and lift it down the staircase. She feels lighter than you think. You feel multiple eyes shift their gaze to you. You keep your eyes toward the ground.

• 

  Photo of Hope - You hear the sliding of a familiar door. A voice tells you to walk. A gist of wind enters the room as the light outside engulfs you. You keep your eyes toward the ground.

• 

  Photo of a Tree - As you face forward, you listen to the crunching of the grass and feel the coolness of the wind. You hear the leaves in the trees riffle as the sun begins to set... but you try to ignore it. It's all just a dream...

• 

  Photo of a Branch - You lay down MARI’s body and look up for the first time. Small rays of light shine through the cracks in the leaves. You relish in its beauty and savor the moment. You think... even if this is all real, if you keep looking at the leaves, that... everything will be okay.

• 

  Photo of a Rope - You hear pacing, the crunching of the grass sifting back and forth. You think you see a figure pick something off the ground, but you’re not sure. You keep staring at the leaves overhead. Everything will be okay... You think... Everything will be okay.

• 

  Photo of Hands - You hear shuffling. You hear dragging... and creaking... and pulling. Something is happening, but you refuse to look away from the leaves. Your head feels fuzzy again. You bite your tongue and attempt to wake up one last time, but it’s no use... You’re still here.

• 

  Photo of a Lie - As you and BASIL step into the house, you look back towards the trees and see it. The light engulfs it as it sways in the wind... For a moment, you feel at peace. You hate yourself for feeling this way. Is that all, then? Is everything going to be okay now?

• 

  Photo of Legs - You feel a cold hand clutch yours. You try to jerk away, but it squeezes back; unwilling to let you go. The hand drags you backward. You look up and see your best friend for the first time... BASIL. You see the tears falling from his tired eyes as he looks ahead. You suddenly realize that none of this is a dream. All of this is real.

• 

  Photo of Something - Suddenly, BASIL stops. You look up at his eyes... but this time, they’re wide awake, staring at Something. You turn your eyes toward it as well, though you wish you didn’t. An eye meets yours. Your heart sinks into your stomach. You shouldn’t have looked back... You just... shouldn’t... have looked...

The following is a reconstruction of how these descriptions would have looked in the album.

Early FARAWAY Photo Album Cover

An early version of BASIL'S Faraway Polaroid Album's cover still lies in the files. Compared to the utilized version, the color is more on the beige side instead of green, and it looks much more rougher-looking. Interestingly, some of BASIL's used overworld sprites still seem to use the color of this early album cover texture.

•

FEAR OF HEIGHTS Early Hands

Originally, the hands utilized in a pre-battle cutscene of FEAR OF HEIGHTS didn't utilize photorealistic hands, and instead, pixel art of them. The event that uses this is still in the game, albeit deactivated.

• 

  Early

• 

  Final

FEAR OF DROWNING MARI Spotlight

An odd picture that was utilized in a pre-battle cutscene of FEAR OF DROWNING. The event that uses this is still in the game, albeit deactivated.

HUMPHREY Dark Overlay

A dark overlay utilized for when the player is in HUMPHREY. It has "BACKUP" added to its name- when compared with the one the game uses, this one's field of vision is bigger.

• 

  Early

• 

  Final

BASIL's RESPITE Telescope

A parallax of the WATERMELON PATH area in BLACK SPACE lies in the Pictures folder. This was actually intended for pre-revision BLACK SPACE, Where the player has to bring BASIL to certain stumps in order to progress through the sequence. This image was a part of it by looking at a telescope in the area where the player would have retrieved him, and as such, this picture would have been displayed as the telescope's image. Since that original sequence ended up cut, so did this graphic. Both maps, of the telescope and BASIL's retrieval area, still exist in the game, but unused.

Parallax "Glitch" Version

Unknown. May have been meant for the aforementioned cut telescope.

BASIL's House Eyes

A picture that was meant to be placed onto the map. This picture is part of an entire cut sequence from the game, HAUNTED HOUSE, where this would have been displayed after the player reached BASIL's house in the dreamworld with MARI and was left by themselves.

• 

  Basil's House Eyes

• 

  Basil's House eyes with added background for clarity.

White LIGHTBULB

Animation sheets for an inverted-color version of the LIGHTBULB. Its purpose is unknown, but it was most likely intended to be placed in BLACKSPACE. There's a version of it with just one horizontal sheet, missing it's wire and oddly, upside-down as well.

• 
• 

RAIN TOWN Sky

A sheet for what was possibly intended to be RAIN TOWN's sky/parallax. It is unknown what exactly was this for, but it could be argued this was possibly intended to be the original parallax for RAIN TOWN instead of the default faraway sky parallax as a resolution for one of it's frames fits RAIN TOWN's map perfectly- there's an event associated with this sheet, but it's completely unfinished and deactivated. An attempt at a restoration of this texture sheet can be seen here.

RED MAZE MARI Blur

A blurry, large image of one of the MARIs found in RED MAZE. Of note, this one's neck isn't as long and crooked compared to those. Its purpose is unknown, but due to the image's resolution, it could be guessed that it was intended for a scare, much like the other HELLMARI door scares.

ROOM WITH SELF Face

A graphic consisting of OMORI's cropped face from the mirror jumpscare, it exists as both a parallax and picture. This is actually used in a cut BLACK SPACE map, "ROOM WITH SELF", where the player had to move small "pupil" spheres into OMORI's eye sockets to give him "eyes". After doing so, the event would end and return the player to WINDOW HALLWAY.

BASIL's SOMETHING parallax

An animation sheet of BASIL's SOMETHING that covers the game's entire screen. It most likely served as a parallax to a map according to its name, or something else entirely. This file is used in a debug room, where it'll appear and go through a single animation cycle before being erased.

Images

Black Space Door

An image of a door, specifically those found in BLACK SPACE. This door may have been used during your introduction to BLACK SPACE, however this door lacks details such as the grass covering parts of the door.

Daytime HELLMARI

If HELLMARI in the night wasn't enough, there exists images of a red HELLMARI that, judging by the naming of the file, was to to appear during daytime. A mock-up of what this may have played out like can be seen here.

nowyouknow.png

An image of SUNNY, uh, horrified by something... This image has an unknown purpose in-game, as no jumpscares occur while waking up. More likely, this image was just made to scare dataminers judging by the name.

BLACKSPACE HELLMARI Face

A closeup of HELLMARI's face with a very, very dark overlay over it. It's unknown what this was intended for, but most likely somewhere in BLACKSPACE.

BLACKSPACE Laptop Screen

An image of the WHITE SPACE Laptop, but with a black blotch in the down left corner of the screen with several SOMETHING Eyes peeking through. In the final game, if the player interacts with the laptop in BLACKSPACE, the game responds with dialogue saying "Nothing but static.". However, this might have been different somewhere in development according to this unused picture.

Placeholder Images

Many placeholder or mockup images were left in the game, with some of them including some pre-release material.

Room Mockups

Placeholder images containing mockups of rooms in-game.

MEMORY LANE

A mockup image of what MEMORY ROAD was supposed to look like. Assets such as the rain and background are absent. The naming of the file suggests that this was originally supposed to be apart of BLACK SPACE. In the final game, however, MEMORY LANE is its own separate section.

BORING ROOM

Remember what happened on the OMORI ROUTE when you become the owner of SWEETHEART'S CASTLE? You get your own boring room. A mockup of this image is also present in the files, where SUNNY, the protagonist for most of the SUNNY ROUTE, is seen sitting on the chair of the ex-horrific boring room. In contrast to this image, SUNNY is never seen in the ex-horrific version of the boring room.

Final Battle

A few placeholder assets exist for the final battle against OMORI.

UI Mockup

A mockup image of the final battle against OMORI. It uses the Battle UI from the Kickstarter demo, as evidenced by the orange JUICE meter. There's a blur effect around the image, and OMORI and SUNNY's drawings are badly cropped. Lastly, SUNNY'S name is simply "____" as a placeholder.

Early Intro

A work-in-progress spritesheet of the intro for the final battle. Frame numberings can be found at the bottom right.

HANGMAN

There exists two placeholder images for the HANGMAN screen. Instead of using keyboard keys for the letters, these images use Blackletters. These were actually teased in a 2019 Twitter post by the official OMORI Twitter account.

PHOTO ALBUM

HEADSPACE ALBUM

An earlier version of the PHOTO ALBUM, which contains early text and pictures taken by BASIL. Behind the album is a strange room with some debug text and PLUTO, of all things.

Assets for the early photo album can also be found in an Albums folder. Strangely, the HEADSPACE album is known as the FARAWAY album in this folder.

World Map

An earlier version of the world map, which is almost identical to the final map, but contains a dock maze at the top of the sea and some shading differences for objects in the sea.

SOMETHING IN THE WALLS

Two unused sprites for the SOMETHING IN THE WALLS creature that SUNNY encounters. Of note is that its limbs end with what appear to be hands, while normally they're just regular spider limbs.

Stargazing

A placeholder parallax graphic for the scene where OMORI gazes at the stars in the playground.

Battle Background Guideline

A unique battle background used as a guideline, presumably for enemy placement.

Status Particles

These are labeled within the game files as "status particles". They allude to the HAPPY, ANGRY, and SAD EMOTIONS respectively.

Atlases

Big spritesheets used during development for various purposes.

Development-Related Images

There are two images that depict some templates the developers of the game used for various actions and features. The first image contains an NPC representation of OMOCAT, an NPC representation of Archeia (one of the co-developers for OMORI), and what appears to be a DREAM WORLD version of SUNNY with a flower crown. Flower Crown Sunny looks a bit similar to Flower, a character part of the OMORIBOY manga.

Interestingly enough, The Archeia sprite IS used in the OMORI DEMO for a secret room.

Title Screen Atlas

An early title screen atlas, featuring a few differences for each row of characters:

• OMORI is slightly larger than the final, and has a small white fade near the bottom of his sprite.
• BLACK SPACE OMORI is much darker, and has dimmer highlights.
• SUNNY's face, as well as his second and third frames, were adjusted in the final seemingly to separate him from OMORI, though he ends up having eyeshines on ONE DAY LEFT of the SUNNY ROUTE when they should only be visible after reaching the Good Ending.

Battle Atlases

Essentially spritesheets containing most of the battle UI. Two early versions of this atlas exist in the files. Of note is that both of these earlier versions have the final ECG say "everything will be okay" instead of "everything is going to be okay".

battleATLAS_NEW

Despite the name "battleATLAS_NEW", this is the earliest battle UI atlas in the files. The main differences include:

• All of the UI is much thicker.
• There are placeholder "FIGHT..." and "RUN!" buttons.
• The energy meter uses a slightly different palette than the final.
• The stress meter has a different visual appearance during its later stages.
• Some of the attack commands are off-center.

battleATLAS

Most of what's here is pretty much final, but there's some minor differences:

• Both the energy and stress meters seem to have their first stages completely missing.
• The energy meter charge-up graphic has a transparent outline not present in any other revision.

Early Tag Abilities

These are early graphics for what seem to be tag abilities.

KEL

Very similar to the final in terms of design, but with many differences.

OMORI

OMORI has two atlases for his ability. A main one, and the other a background.

Here is the main atlas.

Here is the background.

AUBREY

AUBREY has very few graphics except for a simple background.

Animations

Early and unused SKILL animations can be found in the game files.

SNACK Consumption

Unused animation of a SNACK being eaten.

Early BREAD SLICE Graphic

An early graphic of the BREAD that appears when defeating an enemy with the BREAD SLICE skill. Compared to the one that is used in the final game, it looks far less realistic.

Early TRICK Animation

An earlier, less-colorful version of OMORI's TRICK skill.

TICKLE Animation

Animation for KEL's TICKLE skill that goes unused for whatever reason.

SOMETHING Spider Summon

Animation of SOMETHING IN THE WALLS summoning a BABY SPIDER. In earlier builds of the game, SOMETHING IN THE WALLS would be accompanied by BABY SPIDERS, which would soon reappear if defeated.

BEAR HUG Attack

Animation for an unused attack known as BEAR HUG, which was meant to be used by the RARE BEAR.

SOMETHING Attack

Unused animation of an attack relating to SOMETHING.

Unknown HERO Follow-Ups

There are a few extra unused bubbles for HERO. It is unknown which of the other friends these were attributed to.

Tiles

There are many tilesets in the game with either few unused tiles, or the almost the entire thing is unused.

FARAWAY

These are various graphics not found anywhere in FARAWAY TOWN.

• 

  An unused tileset for OTHERMART at night. Could SUNNY be a nasty burglar?

HEADSPACE

• 

  "$MarinaBridge"

• 

  "$MarinaTumor". When The Branch Coral describes Humphrey, he states that 'he has become a tumor within himself.' Judging by this file name, this might have somehow been literal at one point.

• 

  "(SF)Dock_Down"

• 

  "(SF)Dock_Left". The files also contain '(SF)Dock_Right' and '(SF)Dock_Up', which are identical to this.

• 

  "DW_PuzzleObjects_3"

Strangely, it seems like these sprites have been erased or covered up. These neon pink rectangles are all that can be seen. The name Marina_Tumor feels particularly out-of-place.

BLACKSPACE

This sprite sheet contains several greyscale sprites of the characters riding rafts, intended for Black Space. There are sections that feature rafts in this area, but these specific sprites go unused.

Similarly to the ones above, these sprites from the sprite sheet objects_bs_minecart aren't used either.

There are many graphics such as "hallucination" tilesets, an entire piece of RED SPACE, and tiles that never go used.

• 

  An unused tileset that, judging by the filename, should have a role in REDSPACE, but never goes used. It also lacks any red.
