MixiM

Overview
MixiM is a Yume Nikki Fangame made by kisekinomahou (Creator of Yume-san).

Plot
You play as a girl named Chie.

The game begins shortly after Chie decides to search for the Effects, since she can't completely manipulate some of the dreamworld without them.

The game includes dialogue, with which the player can get information about Chie’s story and about how the dreamworld work.

It also includes symbols and names of websites, information about the world, and other meta information.

Some places will look different if wearing certain Effects, and some are directly inaccessible without them.

Aside from Chie, almost all characters have their own story, which can be read at miximcharacters.

There is one ending so far, which upon collecting certain items, can include a message for the player.

About the dreamworld
Humans were created by other beings, which, upon seeing some of their creations being unable to move forward because of "mental corruption" decides to use dreams to help that person (or patient, as labelled in the game) to move on. After situations of abuse in a child, for example, the brain changes and the kid, most probably, if not surely, will develop a trauma that will kind of “corrupt” future situations. Stress post-trauma, for example, in which any situation slightly similar to the cause of the trauma can become a pure hell). Now, this dreams show the patient various worlds according to what happened in it’s life, and will always have a room for the patient to be safe at.

This “dreams” are shown one after another, they are all the same, but are different in each person’s head.

Each patient has the option to stay in the dream forever, in which case said person will become a “character” that will change to fit other’s stories (based on Yume Nikki’s manga).

If the patient gets even worse, they will become Uboa-like creatures (also based on Yume Nikki), implying that all the NPCs that resemble Uboa were patients that let their negative feelings take over them.

Lastly, after Chie “dies”, she wakes up. This must happen in her case due to the big impact it all caused in her in a negative way. Basically, the patient wakes up after a representative situation, Chie falling down to death, for example, represented how her life went all down with one crash after another, resulting in her death, when she decided to fall in the dream she faced the pain of her sadness, of the roots to her suffering as an ultimate way of facing her trauma, showing an absolute resolution to the fact that she faced it and is now ready to move on.

Effects
So far there are 19 Effects. They cannot be dropped anywhere. Some Effects change slightly if using an item while wearing the Effect (such as Medicine if drinking Coke or Sick if taking Colorful Pills). Chie can move faster by holding down the Shift key, so the use of a speed-boost Effect is not needed. There also isn't an Effect that allows you to teleport back to the Nexus, so you'll have to wake up from the dreamworld manually.
