Overview

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

Plot

You play as a girl named Chie, a carefree and easy going person with depression phases. She’s slow paced, and tries to remain calm at any moment, although she isn’t always able to.

Chie tried to manipulate the dreamworlds, but some were unaccessible, and thus decided to follow the world’s rules and search for effects in order to create her utopia. Here is when the game starts.

At first, going back to reality wasn’t even an option to her, but as the story progresses, Chie will start to doubt which is really the best option: staying in the dream worlds forever, or facing her trauma and going back to reality.

The game includes dialogues, with which the player can get information about Chie’s story and about how do the dreamworlds work, but honestly, the way to really understand everything is by exploring and interpreting each place.

It also includes symbols and names of websites, information about our world and other things, left there so that the player can search about them and, if not known already, they can learn more about our real little world.

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

Aside from Chie’s, almost all characters have their own story, which can be read here: miximcharacters, although in the game there are also few hints.

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

As a curiosity, the game is based on a real story.

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**, decided 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 look totally different in each person’s head. To explain this better, let’s think of it as books in which each reader reads it’s own story: reader A will read his, so reader B must wait until reader A finishes, unless another book is given to him. So, when Chie’s secondary side says that a patient is coming next, this means that Chie’s time is running up.

Each patient has the option to stay in the dream forever, in which case said person will become a “character” that will change (although not drastically) to fit other’s stories (based on Yume Nikki’s manga).

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

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

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.
