Answered Prayers:Prayers

All 12 Prayers, shown in the game's menu.

The goal of the game is to collect all of the 12 different Prayers.

Prayers can be learned from interacting with objects and characters throughout the dream world, and each prayer alters Fluorette's appearance and may also give her special abilities. Some have a decorative purpose, while others prove useful for exploring the dream world.

The Prayers are modeled after Yume Nikki's Effects. While the game does notify you when you've found all the Prayers that exist, unlike most fangames, collecting the Prayers does not unlock an "Ending Sequence" that finishes with the credits rolling. This is due to Answered Prayers being uncompleted.

This page lists all of the different Prayers in Answered Prayers, complete with instructions on how to find them.
