.flow is a fangame of the original Yume Nikki made by a user called "lol" (pixiv and Twitter accounts). This game is known for its eerie atmosphere. It's one of the darker fangames with a lot of body horror imagery.
Protagonist
(Main article: Sabitsuki)
You play as a girl named Sabitsuki who doesn't want to or is unable to leave her room. She has short white hair and a grayish blue top, a white skirt, and red shoes.
Sabitsuki's bedroom has gray walls, a TV and game console (through which you can play the mini-game Shinsouku Neko), a bookshelf, a bright orange rug, and, most notably, her bed and computer. Unlike most Yume Nikki fangames, you get in bed to save and access most of the gameplay by interacting with the computer.
There is no plot other than to collect all 25 effects. Once you collect all effects, you can leave your room to end the game, or you can keep playing for more endings. Your computer in the 'dreamworld' will let you "drop" all 25 effects once you have them and you wake up with your name now Rust. As Rust you have no effects and can't collect any but you can go to places inaccessible for Sabitsuki to have various endings.
