Effects Guide - Version 0.03

There are eleven effects to obtain in v0.03.

Glass Shard

Enter the Static Puddle World. Go down from the door until you reach a brown door. Go right past that door until you see a red building just below you. Go down and step in front of the building.

Go left past the large bottle into the Broken Glass area. Go right and down from the two large bottles to an NPC weeping beside a corpse. Interact with the corpse.

Jetpack

Enter the Roads and Rivers World. Take the path going up then go right until you reach a dead end. Interact with the jetpack on the ground.

Skull

Enter the Static Puddle World. Go north-west (more west than north) from the door and interact with the skull on the ground.

Bandages

Bandages is a purely cosmetic effect. It puts bloody bandages around Dokutsuki's head. It is located in the Hospital. To find this effect, go to Static Puddle (Boom) World. Enter the red building, go down the path and break the giant bottle by interacting with it. Go down, then right to find a door to the Hospital. Take the only door in the first room, the topmost door in the next room, the accessible door on the right side of this hallway, and a door up from there; navigate to the bottom-right corner of this corridor and enter this new series of rooms. Interact with a bandaged woman at the end to get the effect, whereupon a Chaser will appear (the chaser can be outrun with the Jetpack effect).

Voiceless

Voiceless is a purely cosmetic effect. It puts a gag around Dokutsuki's mouth. In Faces World (the second door in the Nexus), there are two gagged yellow faces with the word "WHAT" above them. Go between these faces and enter Words World. Interact with another gagged face in this world to receive this effect.

Little Girl

Enter Roads and Rivers World from the Nexus. Go east, then south, and follow the path until you reach a rope point. Use the Rope (see the walkthrough to obtain the Rope below) to climb down. Proceed south (there are many immediate paths, but none of them lead anywhere; getting lost here is almost impossible) and turn right at the only detour. Follow this path to another room and enter the doorway on the north wall. Go all the way north and interact with the glowing dot to be transported to Dokutsuki's Dream House. Enter the door on the left to Dokutsuki's room, and ascend the stairs. Go through the third door from the left and interact with the two women in the center (implied to be a younger Dokutsuki and her mother).

Clock-Head

Enter the Static Puddle (Boom) World. Go south-east from the door and enter the red building. In the maze go down, left to the end, down again and up, enter the door. Enter the only door in the new area, go up and along the hallway, enter the door at the end of it. Now, take the second door at the left side of the hallway. Keep going up until you find yourself in the narrow path. Walk this path and go right until you find a door you can enter. Enter the door. You should be in the room with an NPC. Interact with the small plane beside the NPC. Walk the path and interact with the face. You should be at the bus station. Get the bus ticket (see the walkthrough). Enter the second bus and arrive at the airport entrance, go up. In the new area go right and down the stairs, enter the third door there. Go to the next area. Keep going left and entering new areas until you find a set of stairs which resemble a triangle. Take the stairs up and interact with the clock. Enter the room to the right and keep going the hallway until you can get the effect.

Medusa

Follow the walkthrough for the Clock-Head effect up until you find the blue stairs area. There you will need to interact with purple hands. There are a total of five of them and can be found roughly like this (note: the entrance is the beginning of the blue stairs area where a green eye on the wall can be seen):

1. first area after the entrance: up->all the way to the left->keep going down
2. first area after the entrance: take stairs to the left->stairs down
3. second area after the entrance: go left until the statue->go down
4. third area after the entrance: enter the door
5. fifth area after the entrance: near a blue blob

Afterwards interact with the statue (you may need to do it twice). Go up and interact with a different statue to obtain the effect.

Scientist

Follow the walkthrough for the Medusa effect up until the end, afterwards go up and enter the house. In the house take the right path, then take the north one and walk the hallway. Now walk the spiral-like hallway up to the end and enter the door. In the room interact with the lab coat lying on the floor to get the effect.

Effects Guide - Version 0.02

There are six effects in Broken Bottles as of v0.02.

Glass Shard

Glass Shard is like the knife effect in Yume Nikki. It is Dokutsuki's weapon and used to kill NPCs. It is located in Broken Glass World. Go through the brown door south of the Nexus door in Boom World. Interact with a box at the top left of the room. Go through the new door that appears, and interact with the bleeding severed hand next to the crying figure.

Skull

Skull is a purely cosmetic effect. It turns Dokutsuki's head into a rotted, yellow skull. It is found by interacting with a skull and bones in Boom World. It is located southwest of the Nexus door.

Bandages

Bandages is a purely cosmetic effect. It puts bloody bandages around Dokutsuki's head. It is located in the Hospital. To find this effect, go to Boom World. Enter the red building, go down the path and break the giant bottle by interacting with it. Navigate through the maze until you find a door to the Hospital. Take the only door here, the topmost door in the next room, the accessible door on the right side of this hallway, and a door up from here; navigate to the bottom-right corner of this corridor and enter this new series of rooms. You will be able to interact with a woman to get the effect, whereupon a Chaser will appear.

Voiceless

Voiceless is a purely cosmetic effect. It puts a gag around Dokutsuki's mouth. In Faces World (the second door in the Nexus), there are two gagged yellow faces with the word "WHAT" above them. Go between these faces and enter Words World. Interact with another gagged face in this world to receive this effect.

Clock-Head

Clock-Head makes Dokutsuki's head look like a clock and makes her body become a part of it. Her hands and feet become the hands of the clock. You can use this effect to see the true form of the blue wisps in this world. Also, this effect seem to make you capable of seeing the true form of some NPC's. You can find it in the Clocks area, found in the Library, which is accessed from the Airport. This effect is known to have a glitch that makes the Wake Up function disappear from the menu. Yikes!

Medusa

Medusa makes you look like the Gorgon Medusa. You can activate this effect using the SHIFT key and freeze NPCs. You can find it in the Medusa area after deactivating all the hands and talking to the woman statue in the Library area.

Items

Key 1

It is received from the object in the bottom left corner of the Dream Courtyard. Used to access the Static Box event in Static Puddle (Boom) World.

Key 2

It is received from the pink security person at the Airport, and allows you to board one of the flights and view the Crash event.

Key 3

It can be found by searching the dead dog found on the way to the Little Girl effect. It can be used on the picture of little Dokutsuki in Dokutsuki's Dream House to trigger the Little Girl event.

Bus Ticket

It is found in the bottom-right of the room filled with monsters west of the Bus Station, and grants access to the Bus Ride event and, consequently, the Airport.

Rope

An item only obtainable in v0.03. Obtained by cutting down the girl stuck in the tree in the Roads and Rivers World. Used to gain access to other areas.

Go right from the Nexus door in Roads and Rivers World until you reach a house. Enter it from either entrance and go into the southwestern room. Interact with the glowing dot to be teleported to an isolated part of Roads and Rivers World. Go east, talk to the girl suspended by a rope, go the rest of the way east, and cut the rope using the Glass Shard effect, freeing the girl. Collect the rope off the ground.

If you leave the rope bridging two areas and wake up without collecting it, it will disappear, but a replacement can be found beside the aforementioned girl.

Medicine

(v0.03) Found in the same room the Scientist effect can be found in.

Events

Static Box

After getting Key 1, enter Static Puzzle (Boom) World and travel directly south from the Nexus door. Enter the brown door into a brown room with piles of broken bottles, odd patterns on the wall, a box stained with a red substance, the small platform with stairs the aforementioned box rests on, and no exits (not even the way you came in). Ascending the stairs and interacting with the box will cause Dokutsuki to unequip any effect she might be using and kneel down to look at the box. The box will open, Dokutsuki's face will disappear, apparently covered in shadow, and she will begin crying as bursts of static cover the screen. After a couple seconds, she will stop crying and wipe away her tears, gaining a wide grin (but no eyes) and stopping the static. Press the interact button again to stand up, causing another brown door to appear in the corner of the room. The door is a one-way exit to the place housing the Glass Shard effect (which is located just to the left of the drop-off point). Dokutsuki will refuse to enter the brown door in Static Puddle (Boom) World from then on.

Bus Ride

Approaching the driver of the second bus in the Bus Station and sitting down will make the bus go dark, rumble, and drive the player to the Airport.

Plane Crash

Similarly, upon getting Key 2, the player can board the furthest plane in the flight area of the Airport. Upon entering the plane, a woman will tell Dokutsuki the flight is full and that she must get off, urging her to use the bathroom first. Using the glass shard effect, the patrons lining in front of the bathroom can be killed to get access to the latrines, though these have no effect. Finding the pilot at the front of the plane initiates a rather rude conversation in which he tells you to board the next flight. When the player at last leaves the plane to re-enter the waiting area, an announcement will play, indicating that the plane has crashed. The room will suddenly turn red with a change of music and all the NPCs there will become chasers.

Little Girl

After getting Key 3, follow the walkthrough for the Little Girl effect until you get to the hall in Dokutsuki's Dream House. Go all the way to the right and descend the stairs. Go right until you reach a crossroads with a sane chaser, then go up until you reach a picture of a young, smiling Dokutsuki. Interact with the picture to enter a dark room. Dokutsuki is using the Little Girl effect, and the menu will not open. The way back doesn't work. Walking north through the narrow passageway leads you to a sitting girl with red hair and a pink dress. Talking with her will start the event, the transcript of which is below in white:

[Girl: "Oh hi! Are you ready to play?"

[Screen blackens. When it lights up again, Dokutsuki is seated on the cushion in the rooms middle, her eyes closed. The Girl looks at her from the left before walking behind her.]

Girl: "How is it? I like doing your hair."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"We used to play all the time. But then..."

[Dokutsuki opens one eye. The Girl's face disappears, as if cloaked by shadow.]

Girl: "You didn't save me..."

"How could you leave me behind?! You weren't competent enough to save even one person... A failure."

[The Girl draws a knife and raises it above her head.]

Girl: "It's your fault that I... that I..."

[The Girl suddenly gains a wide, unnatural smile. She laughs ominously. Dokutsuki recoils, giving a cry of fear. The screen cuts to black with the sound of a stab.]

[Unspecified person]: "Forgive me..."

[Dokutsuki automatically wakes up with this event's conclusion.]]

This event can only be triggered once.
