Sabitsuki (さびつき) is the protagonist of .flow
Appearance
Sabitsuki is a girl with short white messy hair. Her outfit consists of a dusty purple tank top, white skirt, and dark red shoes. Each effect slightly alters Sabitsuki's appearance, without changing her basic design or shape.
Like Madotsuki, her eyes appear to be always closed in-game (with the exception of her Eye and possibly Cat effects). Artwork from lolrust, however, commonly depicts her with red eyes, and lol has officially said that her eyes are "a light brown with a reddish tinge."[2] She has short white hair in a lopsided bed-head style.
Rust
After collecting the 24 Effects, Sabitsuki can access her computer while already in flow. This allows her to discard all of her Effects, transforming her into Rust for the remainder of the game.
Rust appears to be an alter-ego of sorts who largely looks identical to Sabitsuki herself. In fact, while awake, she looks completely identical to her. However, while in .flow, she appears very slightly different: Her hair is slightly paler, her skin has an unhealthy, almost olive pallor, and her clothes are slightly more detailed, with wrinkles now visible on both her tank top and skirt.
Perhaps the most notable aspect of Rust, outside of her inability to use Effects, is that, unlike Sabitsuki, she can be damaged by entities in flow. More specifically, being caught by Fetuses, which now replace all chasers, will physically damage her, causing her appearance to noticeably decay as she sustains more blows. She can take up to 15 hits before she succumbs to her injuries, collapsing into gore. This will make her wake up, forcing her to reenter flow and resume her investigation from the Entrance.
However, Rust can enter certain locations that Sabitsuki either refused to, or were unable to enter, allowing her to track down three unique collectibles known as Empty Boxes exclusive to her. Collecting all three of the Boxes is a requirement for accessing the game's final, true ending.
Spoilers end here.
History
Similar to Yume Nikki and most of its fangames, not much is revealed about Sabitsuki's past explicitly in the game. Little to nothing is known for certain about her. When prompted to leave her room she shakes her head, in a similar fashion to Madotsuki, possibly implying she's a hikikomori or being quarantined. The dreams she experiences tend to be dark and violent, suggesting her personality or past experiences could be of the same nature.
Throughout the game, there are motifs involving illness, hospitalization and social exclusion, possibly suggesting that Sabitsuki is/was at some point in her life affected by a deadly disease of some sort, possibly one that may have separated her from her peers at school. It can therefore be theorized that she may be an excluded, introspective individual. Whether this is just a consequence of the illness/disability she has learned to deal with, or Sabitsuki simply longing to reach out to other people, is unknown -- though it should be noted that the vast majority of the humanoid figures she sees in her dreams have parts of them decaying or (badly) injured.
Trivia
- According to the game's equipment screen, her messy hair stems from "bed hair," her tank top is her "usual outfit," her skirt is her "favorite," and her shoes are made out of leather.
