Vast Forest is a location in OMORI. It is the first proper area of the game.

Overview

The Vast Forest can be first accessed via the tree stump in the middle of Headspace. It is the central point of Headspace. To the West of the Tree Stump is Pyrefly Forest, to the north is Deep Well, and in the east is Otherworld. To the South of the Stump is the Playground and more branching paths. The Vast Forest also has a subarea and entry point to the Orange Oasis.

Many of Omori's friends can be found on the playground, including Mari. To the South-East of the playground there is a sign. To the West of this sign is the train station and a small cave containing the Wise Rock. Walking further West will bring you to the foggy bridge. The train station can be used after defeating Space Ex-Boyfriend, and will bring you to the Orange Oasis. To the east of the sign is a grotto containing the Shadow Dog, directly above of the grotto is a ladder to the Pinwheel Forest. To the south of the sign is Basil's garden and house.

Story

Having made plans with Basil and Mari to meet them at the playground, Omori and his friends left Neighbor's Room and went to the playground in the Vast Forest.
Upon entering the playground the group spot Mari and Basil and they join them in their picnic.
After chatting a little and looking at Basil's Photo Album, Basil proposed to go to his house in the south but they get stopped by Berly before they can leave. Berly proposed to play Hide and Seek with everyone. After playing Hide and seek, the group went to Basil's house.
Upon nearing his house, Basil snaps a surprise picture of his friends. Aubrey and Kel then fight over who gets to see it first and end up pushing Basil, making him drop his Photo Album and fall.
The pictures all fly out of the Photo Album because of the fall. After picking up the photos, the group enter Basil's house and insert the photos back into the photo album. Once the group was almost done, Basil inspects a photo he doesn't recognise, a cutscene will play and Omori gets sent back to White Space.

Hikkiomori Route

After Omori saves Basil from Black Space, Headspace gets reset. This causes small changes to the Vast Forest. The biggest change is the presence of the Hairband charms in Basil's house.

Notable areas

Stump entrance

The main entrance of Headspace, connecting it to the Neighbour's Room and White Space, this area serves as an intersection to Pirefly Forest, Otherworld, Vast Forest itself and the Deep Well. In the first night, when Omori and friends first go through the stump, a WTF value between 1 and 13 will be set that changes some of the events that can happen in the game, the higher more events will change, usually leading to more jumpscares. In the second night, a group of Lost Sprout Moles will attack the player and reward the party with four Show tickets.

Forest Playground

The Forest Playground is the area where Omori and all his friends play hide and seek, it contains one of Mari's many picnic blankets, one of the flying mirrors scattered around Headspace, a sign that changes its content almost daily, a mailbox shop and many friends, as well as the location of the first enemy the party encounters, Boss.

While in here, Shawn and Ren are able to teach Omori the skill "observe" after the hide and seek, Daisy will offer the quest Daisy's Dillema and reward the player with a Daisy (charm) after completing it. Berly and Van will also offer the Berly's Lost Ball quest, completing this quest will reward the player with the Butt certificate and teach Aubrey the skill "headbutt", after doing the quest and completing the tutorial, Talking to Berly again while she is here will increase Aubrey's juice by 20.
Lastly, the shop located here sells Candy, Apple juice, Jacks and Presents.
