Tagging

The tagging menu as seen in-game when pressing the assigned button.

Tagging is a game mechanic that allows the player to change the leading member of the party quickly either through an assigned button or the menu. Different leaders can perform different actions, as seen deeper in this article. Every time the party tags, a photograph sound will play and a polaroid showing interaction with the current leader and the new leader will block the screen to prevent the player from seeing the change.
The tagging function becomes available during one of the first cutscenes of the Junkyard, and the whole area is considered a tutorial area for tagging.

While leading, Omori can cut branches, traffic cones and spider webs, Omori is also the only member able to see and interact with the keyboard keys scattered around the world, as well as talking to some creatures that only Omori can understand.
In Faraway Town, Sunny is also able to cut spider webs, during the start of the second night, and cones during the third day of the true route while in the Recycultist's HQ.

Trivia

• The background of the pictures in the dream world is the area's battle background where the party tagged, this interaction sometimes bugs, leaving only an empty battle background without the polaroid.
• During battle, the beginning text will change depending on who is the party leader
