Digital Requiems is an on-going online storytelling project inspired by works like Omori and Yume Nikki, and numerous ROBLOX games . This project initially begun in 2021, under the name Our Bonsai Tree, and has since gone through many periods of inactivity, and has witnessed countless iterations.Digital Requiems has been used to express its creators emotions and creative ambitions, uniting a plethora of sources of inspiration and ideas, culminating in a project branching across multiple means of media.In the beginning of 2025, Our Bonsai Tree was revived after three years of retirement, and reimagined into what is now Digital Requiems.

Digital Requiems
deformation of the mindact ii. beyond the root
Our Bonsai Tree is progressing into a new era, a new 'look'. Things have changed and are changing, and the majority of the source material is gone, save from narrative elements. The game will feature a new genre, style, gameplay and aesthetic. The narrative will continue on from the original game, the story of which will be discoverable throughout act ii. Some lore points have been retconned or removed.
Digital Requiems is not to be confused with a part two to Bonsai, nor a remake. It is a new project replacing it, continuing and expanding the original vision. The name change is to assist establish this idea, and to move on from any old ideas of Bonsai.As to whether if this project can be called a 'myth' (a genre of ROBLOX games used to tell a story), it is up to the player. The creator does not fully associate this project to the Myth Community, yet acknowledges it as having deep roots and origins from it. A more accurate label and community would be a Yume Nikki Fan Game, however 'myth' can still be applied to it, and be treated as such.At the end of the day, labels do not matter. Enjoy the game and the story.

This project would be nothing without the following games, which have shaped the stylistic direction of Digital Requiems. I urge those who enjoy my project to also look into those down below.

i have been looking for you, my love. i want you to return to me, we can be together again, we can be happy.

"i cant do that baby. you know i cant."

but we can try, cant we? we have to, i have to. i cant just.. let you go like this, we're not finished.

"yes, we are."

...

"oh alph, if only you could see what you've become."

...

what?

"..."

blair? hello?
please come back. i need you.
...
ill look for you. ill keep looking, and i wont stop until i find you. ill look everwhere. we will be together again, we have to be.

...

"oh, alphie..."

...

an adventure,
past the vast oceans and hopeful mountains, past those still beginning their journey,
we will ride through thick jungles, through freezing peaks, and scorching deserts,
through times when all hope was lost and we only had each other for company.
through times when love felt not worth it anymore, when I could sit down and say that I wanted to end things.i don't want a happy ending,
i don't want a sad one.
i just want you, no ending is needed, no final page must be turned,
we can continue reading and writing our lives away till the pages wear thin and tears are made,
but only then will I let you go,
only then will I let myself go and allow our chapter to end.because I am finifugal.but until then, we are together.
and I will love every second, every hour, every day, every page, every book, every series, every chapter that I spent with you.
because I love you.and when I put our book on the bookshelf,
i’ll know you loved me too.

his body contorts from the heat of the stars, burning his flesh and soul.
his eyes wide open, ablaze with life, yet he does not breathe.he is finitropic.

communications recovered from the ministry of the eye

the first instance of subject 7's departure was recorded on ██ of █████, 2008. medical records of this day were recovered, highlighting subject's increased confusion, inability to remember individuals, and uninterrupted jittering movement. doctors described subject's dominant personality as 'slowly diminishing', observing a fifth identity reaching to the surface.this fifth identity surfaced exactly one month later. records labeled this identity as 'personality O'. the five hours of this identity's dominance over subject 7's body have been stolen, with no alternate record available. hospital footage of the day the event occurred appears to be distorted or altered. photo depicted below has not been edited. security camera appears to show the lobby with one chair, the chair subject waited at, highlighted, while shadow consuming the surrounding room.

after this event, personality O has not returned to dominance since. however, subject's alternative identities have made reference to personality O, under the aliases of 'incarnate' and 'the beast'.
