Uneven Dream:Effects

Please note that as this game is a work-in-progress, info on this page may be out of date and may change at any time.

Effects are items scattered throughout both characters' dream worlds that can be collected. Each effect alters the characters' appearance in some way, and some have special abilities that can make exploring the dream worlds easier or access things you wouldn't be able to see otherwise. Other effects may be purely cosmetic and have no actual use.

As of v0.07, the game has 22 effects in total, 11 for each character.

This page lists all the effects for each character, what they do, and where to locate them.

Trivia

• In ver0.02, the version in which the effect was added, the Snowglobe effect used to work as a weapon, breaking the frozen NPCs on interaction, said function was removed in ver0.03 and then fully replaced by the Pencil effect in ver0.06.
• In ver0.02, the version in which both effects were added, the Boombox and Music Box effects would let the player enter a music player as their special functions. This was moved to the protagonists' computers in ver0.03 due to the ocassional bugs it caused and then fully removed in ver0.04, though a proper Music Room was later introduced in ver0.08.
