Shimako is a recurring NPC in qxy's work.

Interaction

Shimako makes appearances in several of qxy's worlds, starting from Adabana Gardens, with her final appearance being in Rainy Apartments. She appears to be linked to the Telephone effect, as she will react to it in several instances.

Adabana Gardens

She is first seen briefly in an unreachable area of Adabana Gardens as a child, carrying a red schoolbag as she slowly walks off-screen. If the player had encountered her here, she may be found again in the next area.

Field of Cosmos

Shimako is more elusive here, but can be found near the two small temples in Field of Cosmos; when present, she will not look at Urotsuki, and will only briefly look at her if the Telephone effect is used. She will vanish upon being touched.

Wooded Lakeside

In Wooded Lakeside A, one can find a striped picnic blanket can be found here beside a lavender picnic blanket bearing Urotsuki's shirt pattern, implying a connection between the two characters.

Shimako makes a more explicit appearance in Wooded Lakeside B when entering the Boiler Room, and triggers the Shimako's Deluge event. Walking across the water will show Shimako standing near a Sierpinski triangle and some lilypads--she will look around fearfully if the Telephone effect is used. Walking just in front of the Sierpinski Triangle will cause Urotsuki to fall into the water. After drowning or waking up, Urotsuki will re-appear in front of the bathroom of Home Within Nowhere, which is implied to be the childhood home of Shimako.

Marshmallow Shallows

Shimako can be found sitting and slouched over in one of the cone-shaped structures. If the player is wearing a hat, it may be given to Shimako, however doing so will cause her to vanish.

Glitched Butterfly Sector

Shimako makes a brief appearance just over the Sierpinski Maze connection in this area when it fades to blue, appearing nude and looking around. If the player had entered Red Sewers from Guts World, Shimako will not be present in this area.

Reflecting Electron Zone

In Reflecting Electron Zone, Shimako is initially invisible until the player uses the Crossing effect, revealing her physical appearance. She is seen with a stack of red, green, and blue books balanced on her head, which the player may take from her. If the player has taken a hat from Home Within Nowhere or any other prior area, they may swap it for her books.

Rainy Apartments

Shimako makes her final appearance in Rainy Apartments as an invisible figure on the balcony, though only her clothes are visible. Once the elevator doors have opened, she may be found in the bed, and reacts to the Telephone effect by stirring slightly, if the player had not chainsawed her. If the player takes the stairs outside and descends 8 times, her corpse may be found on the ground; the top level has a stool or chair, implying that Shimako had jumped to her death. Using the Telephone effect will cause the body to writhe faintly.

Appearance

Shimako is an average-looking girl with long, dark hair, black eyes, and a fair complexion. She wears a black & white striped top, dark red shoes, and a black skirt with red detailing. She also appears to be wearing red earrings.

In Rainy Apartments, Shimako loses her original chibi art style and has much more realistic proportions. Her skin appears to be invisible, and only her clothes seem to be visible.

Trivia

The full sprite of Shimako as she would appear on the balcony.

• There exists a full-bodied version of the graphic of Shimako seated in the chair in the balcony of Rainy Apartments, where she appears to be brushing her teeth. As of now, it is unknown if or how this is triggered.
• Shimako's behavior in Reflecting Electron Zone is likely a reference to that of Mafurako of the original Yume Nikki.
• It is implied that the Home Within Nowhere is where Shimako had lived, as indicated by her belongings being present in the bedroom, where one may see her striped shirt and red schoolbag.
