UPDATE: In version 1.1.0, there is no longer a controller requirement. Player 1 can control omori with the normal controls (z, x, etc.) If you planned on playing with a controller, then the old version will work just fine. Also, keyboard join controls changed to 'v' to join and 'c' + 'v' to dropout.

This mod allows for multiplayer in omori. Huge credits to OcRam for creating an RPG Maker MV local multiplayer plugin. This mod uses that, and I simply made it compatible with omori. Here is the link to their plugin.

Download the console mod and use it to add party members to play multiplayer in the single player areas.

How to use:

Playing Online

You can play with others online with steam remote play. You can remote play any steam game with this

To interact with the title screen, you need a controller (VERSION 1.1.0 NO LONGER REQUIRES CONTROLLER).

Controls

Controller:

any controller should work but i use a ps4 one so these are ps4 controls:
Menu/back - circle
Move - left joystick
Run - square
Interact - x
Join - start
Dropout - share

Second Keyboard (first keyboard is player 1 which is just the default controls):

Menu - h
Back - f
Move - wasd
Run - g
Interact - t
Join - v
Dropout - c + v

The plugin does work with more than 2 players, but playing with 3 players will require one person to use a controller, and playing 4 players requires two people to use controllers.

You cant tag using 'A' so you need to use the menu to tag.

Also, I recommend turning auto dash off since the dash button will make you go even faster when turned on, instead of making you go walking speed. Unless you want to go super fast.

Playing as Kel or Hero

(This is only for before you unlock tagging) As players join they join in the order of the party (Aubrey then kel then Hero), but you can still choose who you want to be. For example, to have p2 be kel instead of Aubrey (assuming only 2 people r playing), just drop everyone out, then add p2 with controller (press start), and then add p3 with 'x' on keyboard. Then dropout p2 (dropout the controller, press share button on ps4 controller). And now the keyboard player should be playing as kel, and controller as omori! If you want a video demonstration of how to have p2 be kel, click here (timestamped). I haven't tried playing as hero but it should be the same process but you'll need an extra controller for player 4 (of course once you unlock tagging you can just change characters using the tag system).

Known Bugs

Huge thanks to poyo6191 on youtube for doing a lot of bug testing!

It is highly recommended to use the console mod to prevent any softlocks. Most, if not all, can be fixed by using /maptp (you can use /MapName to see where you currently are). And if that doesn't work for some reason, you can always do /reload if you're too lazy to close and re-open the game. But if none of that works, you may have to remove the mod, get past that certain point, and put it back. It sounds like a lot of work but it's really easy. Just drag the mod out, use /reload, get past the part, save with /save, then drag it back in and /reload again. No need to even close the game.

After defeating ye old sprout, the game will get softlocked on the loading screen. To fix this, just do /maptp "-- PATH TO BASIL (II)" and you will spawn in the same room as the ye old sprout battle and he'll be defeated and you can continue as normal.

Follow-ups are bugged. Omori tagged as player 1 can't do any follow-ups, but it seems like Aubrey tagged as p1 can (this hasn't been fully tested, but I recommend just avoiding follow-ups altogether and just saving up for your special attack lol. It's what I did during my playthrough and seemed better than wasting energy on follow-ups).

There is a bug in the junkyard with the conveyor belts. If player 2 gets on a conveyor belt, all players will be frozen at the edges of the screen. This can again be fixed with /maptp and teleporting to where you are in the junkyard.

Auto dash is glitched (as mentioned earlier) so turn it off.

Tagging with 'A' is broken (as mentioned earlier) so tag through the menu.

(there are some more known bugs that I will put here when I have more time).

I'm pretty busy so I doubt I'll get to fixing these any time soon, so I just wanted to let you guys know about them as well as give you ways to fix them (specifically the ye old sprout glitch since it's unavoidable).
