The Collection of Me - 自我图鉴 by Amiuke

[raw]
made by Amiuke for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

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 ★ ① Click on objects with white outlines to explore memory fragments.
② Your choices decide whether you can collect the fragment.
③ Collect three fragments, then open the notebook and click “Confirm” to reach the ending.

我个人会觉得这是一款需要大家开动脑筋去思考物品和物品之间的关联性的游戏,但是有些时候,某些看似有关联得物品可能会给到大家一个错误信号,让大家作出错误的搭配。在刚进入游戏页面的时候,你会发现整个游戏的氛围都透露着诡异和猜测,而你究竟是谁?这个问题的答案大家只能进入游戏当中,才能寻找到答案。
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!

@skysakura2005 We spent the whole morning brainstorming and voting before deciding on this theme! Part of the inspiration comes from Rusty Lake and Kafka’s *Metamorphosis*. Thanks so much for liking the idea!

The language selector doesn't seem to work for me. It's all in Chinese even though I clicked "EN".

Artstyle is nice, music also fits quite well - i liked the idea in generall, but i had problems changing the language to english and so didn't understand the probably well crafted storys arround the items :x

i'll be honest I can't figure out what im doing wrong. I got 3 objects that all had color and assumed that meant I got an ending but it just kept giving me the same someone else's dream ending so I'm doing something wrong. The game has a lot going for it so nice job

Splendid game! It is very beautifully drawn and it has a nice puzzle mechanic to it. It did take me a very long time to understand though and a large part of that was the UI being unclear. I think I also managed to collect 3 colored things but still not get a proper ending, which was very confusing.

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.

Playthrough with more feedback:

@local-minimum Thanks so much for taking the time to play and for the amazing detailed review!! We noticed some of the bugs in your video were ones we’ve already fixed but haven’t uploaded yet — and you also spotted a few we hadn’t caught, so big thanks for that! I’ll make sure our programmer gets on it soon haha. Your feedback really helps us a lot~

Nice and moody!

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

![Screenshot 2025-10-15 at 19.01.17.png](///raw/1e4/3/z/6f677.png)![Screenshot 2025-10-15 at 19.04.12.png](///raw/1e4/3/z/6f678.png)

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.

![Screenshot 2025-10-15 at 19.15.20.png](///raw/1e4/3/z/6f679.png)![Screenshot 2025-10-15 at 19.16.17.png](///raw/1e4/3/z/6f67a.png)

And not a big deal at all but the trophy room doesn't work in English.

Anyways, good job! 👍

@antti-haavikko Thanks so much for playing so thoughtfully! Regarding the multiple endings and gameplay aspect, I’ll definitely keep that in mind for my next project. But actually, each identity in the game is connected to the others — maybe I should add clearer hints about their relationships (like a family tree or something similar).

I didn't quite get it and understand how everything works. But the atmosphere was mysterious and interesting.

Good job.

全结局达成!​

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……

很喜欢美术风格,文案叙事风格有点密教模拟器的感觉,两者结合在一起相得益彰。解谜的方式也很简单,比较好上手,拼凑物品的过程代表着对某种身份认同的构建和确认,我觉得是很不错的表现形式!

Highly playable! Each ending line has its own independent story, yet together they form a vast universe. I love this feeling of free exploration.
