Mimi's World

Game Summary

A small child named Mimi wakes up in a strange world of bubbles and peculiar creatures. All around her are indigo skies, and she appears to be floating. Just in front of her, a familiar-looking bubble appears—-which she then recognizes is in the form of her mother. Mimi calls out to her but her mother starts to drift away. Mimi tries to chase after her but is ultimately left behind.

While she feels lonely without her mother, Mimi finds the world she is in odd, but somewhat comforting.

Track 1 - “Dream World”

This illustrates the opening world, where the player is tasked with collecting enough glowing fish (depicted in the cover art) to help carry her to the 2nd level, with the goal of getting closer to her mother.

Track 2 - “The Great Whale”

After the player collects the fish, the player (as Mimi) throws them up into the air. The fish start to swim together and swarm into a ball. Eventually, the school of smaller fish takes the form of a large glowing whale

Track 3 - “Path of Stars”

the leftover light illuminating a long path of stars. Mimi (the player) holds on to the fin of the whale and must steer the floating whale swimming in space through obstacles to reach the end of the path.

Track 4 - “Upon Entering the Abyss”

Towards the end of the path, the indigo skies around her begin to turn dark. The world around her seems to fade to darkness and the whale begins to dissipate as well. The player now cannot see anything outside of a small circle of light that seems to surround Mimi, the source being a single small glowing fish. This fish remains after the large whale after the large whale disintegrates upon entering the darkness.

Track 5 - “Maze of the Abyss”

Gravity now pulls Mimi down to a solid surface where she stands. In the distance, she can hear her mother calling her. This sparks a feeling of longing. Alone, and in the dark, she sits down and begins to weep. All of a sudden, the small glowing fish companion next to her begins to circle in place. It glows brighter and brighter until it releases a burst of light in all directions, briefly illuminating its surroundings briefly.

The player can now see Mimi faced with a maze. However, the light is only temporary as the light immediately starts to fade back to darkness. The lights also reveal to the player that some sections of the floor only exist when there is light, and others when there is darkness. Her fish companion can shine light after a charge-up time until it releases light in the form of temporary bursts.

The player must navigate through the maze and collect enough fallen star pieces scattered throughout the maze to permanently restore the light.

Track 6 - “Light Again”

After collecting all the fallen star pieces, the pieces begin to pull toward each other and create one large star, illuminating the entire room. The star moves away from Mimi, and as Mimi follows it, she hears her mother calling again, her surroundings appearing brighter and brighter until the room eventually turns white.

Track 7 - “Awake”

Mimi opens her eyes and finds herself in a hospital bed. To her left, she sees her mother —- in human form —- crying next to her, holding her hand. She had been in a coma for weeks, and she finally found her way out of the little world her mind created during her long slumber.
