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

A striped picnic blanket can also be found here beside a lavender picnic blanket bearing Urotsuki's shirt pattern, implying a connection between the two.

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 in this area when the it fades to blue, appearing nude and looking around. She can be seen just over the Sierpinski Maze connection. If the player had entered Red Sewers from Guts World, Shimako will be absent from 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 t-shirt or tank top, 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.
