Treehouse Area
The Treehouse Area, internally called "Construction in the lake", is an optional area in Black Space. It is always the twelfth area visited.
Overview
This area heavily resembles a grayscale version of the construction sites in Deep Well. There are five platforms in the area, all connected by ladders.
The bottom platform is surrounded by water. The second platform is sparsely populated, only having a bed Omori can take a brief nap on and some trees. The third platform similarly only has a game of hopscotch and a park bench, and the fourth platform is completely empty. On the very top platform, there is a treehouse, with Basil standing by it.
Basil will start to follow Omori after he talks to him. While descending back down the area, an elevator will suddenly open up, and Basil will tell Omori to use it to escape from Black Space. The area's key is located inside the elevator. Interacting with the elevator buttons allows Omori to select from a few Headspace destinations, although the choice is meaningless.
Once a destination is selected and the elevator begins moving, Basil will try to confess something to Omori, but the doors will suddenly open again, cutting him off.
As the two leave the elevator, Basil will get jammed in the elevator doors, which eventually snap shut, decapitating him.
After this, red hands will appear around the room to return Omori to Black Space, as usual.
Treehouse
Going into the treehouse will show you a heavily distorted version of the treehouse in Sunny's backyard. Interacting with the various objects will only show you brief, one-word sentences describing the objects, such as "toy". Repeatedly examining them will slowly change the descriptions; for instance, "toy" will eventually turn into "gone," and then "fun" upon repeated examination.
Examining the calendar will eventually result in the text "summer" appearing, suggesting that this room in particular was based on an experience Sunny had shortly after its construction, given the timeframe given in the Photo Album.
Alternative Entrances
- On the last day of the Hikikomori route, the player can interact with the broken elevator on the right of Mr.Jawsum in the Last Resort. This will teleport Omori into the elevator.
Differences
There's a few differences compared to the normal version found. Omori starts out in an elevator. When prompted, the player can only choose to go to Black Space. Backing out of this will bring you to Black Space anyway.
In the treehouse, the cut beta character "Empty Friend" can be found. Upon interacting with it, the screen will distort itself and it'll vanish.
Quotes
Basil: "Ah... Omori! Is it really you? How did you find me?"
Basil: "Are Kel, Aubrey, and Hero here too? I've missed you all so much!"
Basil: "I'm glad the treehouse is still standing. Everyone worked really hard to make it together."
Basil: "Let's go home, Omori."
Basil: "An elevator? I wonder where it leads to. Maybe it can take us back home!"
Basil: "A-Actually... while we're in here. Can I share something with you? Omori?"
Basil: "Hold on, Omori. I... I think I'm stuck."
Basil: "Could you help me out?"
Basil: "Hnnn... Gggg... Huahhh... O... mori..."

Notes
- Even though it doesn't matter what option you choose in the elevator, one can see the ground of the selected area before stepping out.
- One can nap in the bed.
- This removes the flying creature that is located just above the bed.
- The bed's event name in the game files is named "Looping Forest: 270" hinting at a possible (former) connection.
- The elevator will always bring you back to the construction site, no matter what option you choose.
- The tree that holds the treehouse has a white outline.
