The Collection of Me - 自我图鉴 by Amiuke
The Collection of Me is a 2D visual novel. You wake up in an empty place with no memories. To reclaim your identity, you must examine objects in the environment and decide whether to collect them. The memories you recover will shape who you are. The game features 13 different endings. Welcome to play our game and comment! We have an English version too — you can switch the language on the title screen! ---------------------------------------------------10.10Update----------------------------------------------------- Fixed the glow effect for related items, fixed the pagination issue in the ending scene, and removed the AI summary page. ---------------------------------------------------10.11Update----------------------------------------------------- Fixed the issue with switching to English. Implemented the Illustrated Handbook page feature (accessible via the trophy button in the upper right corner of the cover). Fixed the icon size in the notepad.
★ HOW TO PLAY ★

总而言之,不管是配乐上还是整体的故事线导向,我都很喜欢,如果是你喜欢看福尔摩斯,那你可以体会一把头脑风暴。不要局限于一种答案上哦!
Welcome to paly our game!

At last I did manage to find three endings, I think. And I'm happy that I did. I would have liked the game though to not only remember my collected endings, but help me out while playing to indicate the things I've already used. Either graying them out if each can only be used for a single collection. Or if they could be used for multiple, add a small portrait of the ending that I had discovered their use in next to them.
Very good mood and art, and a nice puzzle mechanic, so with some UI improvement, interaction touch ups, and quality of life improvements I would probably have kept hunting combos a lot longer.

Managed to snag two "real" endings and the mismatch one few times even though I thought all three items I had were colored.

I'm having a hard time picking up on the overarching story (if there is one) as a whole. The small snippets seem a bit too abstract to me and the gameplay isn't quite deep enough to carry that many playthroughs. It basically just becomes: pick and item and then try clicking every other item to see if they match. Only a few of the items seemed to have a distinct link that could reasonably be figured out by themselves but then others like cat and the tuna can didn't 🤷♀️
Nice art and the music was beautiful too and really painted a nice atmosphere. At least some of the images scale to fit the whole screen so they look kinda bad on any aspect ratio that isn't what you've intended. And the non fullscreen one doesn't show anything either as it's too big for the container and it shows scrollbars.
Went for a few more endings. Still as confused as ever though. I guess there isn't any deep thread between the micro stories.

And not a big deal at all but the trophy room doesn't work in English.
Anyways, good job! 👍
Good job.
画面和音效都让人眼前一亮,意识流又充满矛盾的文本也很好地营造出了一种悬疑的氛围感。一开始拼凑出的剧情可能有点搞笑或者无厘头,但几个不同*人*物的经历最终组合成了一个细思恐极的故事……
