Me

Overview
Me, め, or 目 (lit.eye, sprout, or bud) -- as in the phonic syllable, not the pronoun -- is a game originally made in RPG Maker 2003 (Remake in RPG VX Ace) about a girl who shares the same name as the game's title. Made by someone known as M-256, F-16, or Isasapiens, the game consists of the eponymous Me possibly going inside her mind, or "dreaming," by the use of the stereo system in her room.

The atmosphere is similar to .flow's, with dark and often visceral imagery, though it seems to also have a penchant for surreal imagery too. Me draws a lot of its inspiration from both Yume 2kki and Hallucigenia, as well as some other places with somewhat similarly styled areas to the originals. As one would have guessed, Me also frequently features imagery involving eyes, with sprouts sometimes showing up from time to time in certain areas of the game.

A remake of Me is currently in development in RPG Maker Vx Ace. Please note that the original one was taken down as of this writing, and it is recommended to play the remake rather than the original.

Gameplay
Me's style of gameplay resembles both LCD Dem and .flow.

The objective of the game is to gather all the orbs and effects. The few effects that are in the game are used to help the player find the orbs. You must collect all 25 orbs (Original version) in order to receive one of the game's three endings.

The latest versions have wallpapers and background music to collect on Me's PC, as well as e-mails when you get orbs.

Me is vast and dense, with many events packed into an enormous dream world.

For help on Orb Locations and effects, please see our Walkthrough page for Me.

Plot
There is little to none, though some events at the game may or may not give hints about Me's previous whereabouts.

Effects and Items
There are 11 effects found in the game. Their abilities can be used with the action key, SHIFT. Contrary to most fangames and the original Yume Nikki itself, all of the effects found in Me have a purpose and can be used frequently.

Items (Only in the original RM2K3 version)
Lollipop  can be found in the Mother 3 Area with the mailboxes. Interacting with it will cause Me to place it in her inventory. You can give it to a Charlotte look-a-like in one of the mailboxes.

 Box  is found in the Igloo World and used to obtain the Distort effect. It's a blue rotating block that moves around until you pick it up.

 Key 1  is the key the red-haired clerk gives you in Purple City. Use it to unlock the previously restricted doors of the other buildings in the city.
