Dotflow:Effects

This page is missing information. You can help YumeWiki by expanding it. Details: Add a few more details to Effect locations. Refer to Yume 2kki's Effects page for a guideline.)

There are 24 Effects in .flow that Sabitsuki can collect. Each effect will change Sabitsuki's appearance when equipped, and some of them give Sabitsuki unique abilities, such as the ability to hurt NPCs or move faster, or otherwise allow her to trigger specific events throughout her dream world.

Collecting every Effect is generally considered to be the game's main objective. Doing so will allow Sabitsuki to trigger the game's first ending by leaving her room in reality.

Obtaining every effect also allows Sabitsuki to transform into Rust through her dream computer, opening more content and leading to the game's other two endings. After turning into Rust, three more collectibles, known as Empty Boxes, can be found in locations that Sabitsuki refused to enter. Gathering all three unlocks a new area accessible through Sabitsuki's dream room, which leads to the game's final ending.
