Create and customize your own avatar

TinierMe invites players to join the relaxed-paced village named SELFY TOWN where they live as the customized dynamic flash avatar they choose. Gamers are able to customize their character with two cutting-edge Fashion Lines available. The Samurai Fashion Line gives gamers the opportunity to make their avatar look like a traditional Samurai with feudal armor and weapons; the Visual Key Line will transform their avatar into a cool and classy rock star. Gamers can purchase many other virtual clothing items designed by GCREST’s creative fashion designers and stylists.

Take a trip to the village: SELFY TOWN

While exploring the 20 areas of the village such as the river gate, the main plaza and the beach, players will experience catching fish, exchanging rings, and hunting for treasures hidden in SELFY TOWN. A large variety of events, mini-games, challenges, and surprises will entertain gamers every week. The special Halloween Masquerade event will allow gamers to win frightening and spooky items to celebrate Halloween! They will be rewarded with items or Chibi Coins (the in-game currency used to purchase items such as clothes, pets and furniture) so they can show-off in front of their new friends.

Make new friends!

Players can connect and interact with friends from around the world. The use of more than 20 different moods will help them to share emotions. They can invite each other to visit each other’s rooms, check out other’s outfits, and create groups of interests. Gamers can write their own personal diary, chat while playing, add new friends, and more.

As the beta version evolves, new furniture, clothing, challenges, and pets will be added. TinierMe appeals to everyone ages 13 and older.
