Yume Nikki is a 32-Bit freeware game created by Kikiyama, a Japanese solo game designer. The game was made using RPGMaker 2003. The game is regarded as one of the most original applications of RPGMaker 2003, and the start of a possible new genre of games. "Yume Nikki" means "Dream Diary" in Japanese, and the game follows a young girl named Madotsuki as she dreams. The goal is to seek out and acquire all 24 'Effects'. The game otherwise has no plot, and nearly the entire game is left up to speculation.

The game that started it all. Just follow a guide, it's not really worth suffering through being confused.

A few years ago, I attempted to play this game. I played around 20 minutes of it and then quit. I recently got the itch to go back to it, driven by curiosity as to why people praise it so much. I went back with no expectations, and with the intention to just immerse myself and see where I end up. Let me tell you, this was the best way to experience the game. I got lost, multiple times, and that's okay. The worlds, the music, the overall feel of this game.. It's beautiful yet melancholic. I went from feeling lost, to calm, to unnerved. Whilst I knew the ending of the game from hearing about it somewhere, it still hit me like a brick. I would urge anybody to play this game. Yes it's a walking simulator, but it's a walking simulator I will never have the pleasure of experiencing for the first time again. Absolutely fantastic.

Yume nikki è un titolo piuttosto unico nel suo genere, e categoria. Non c'è storia, non c'è obiettivo, non c'è un filo conduttore, ma ci sono indizi, che non suggeriscono nulla, sembra un controsenso perchè il gioco stesso è un controsenso: una formula così semplice perchè è così difficile da comprendere? Yume nikki si basa su una sola cosa, il simbolismo strettamente legato alla narrativa ambientale, ma ho detto che non c'è storia. Yume nikki dipende totalmente dell'interpretazione del giocatore, ci vengono presentate immagini e figure, ma ognuno le traduce in modo personale. Dopo aver letto qualche teoria su questo titolo (la community di questo gioco è ancora in vita dopo 20 anni per via del theorycrafting), e con gli elementi che ho incontrato nel mio viaggio nella mente di questa ragazzina (la protagonista, non si sa ne nome ne età) sono arrivato alla conclusione, personale, di che si tratti di una vittima di isolamento forzato, questo lo collego al fatto che non si possa uscire dalla stanza, e con eventuali stupri in tale stanza fin da piccola età, invece questo con varie figure che si rifanno all'utero, riferimenti al ciclo e mostri con più di 2 mani. Passiamo al prossimo punto di Yume nikki, quello in cui eccelle: non c'è gioco in cui il giocatore si può sentire più disperso di questo, le mappe hanno sprite ripetitivi, punti di riferimento quasi assenti, struttura ciclica e la musica che ripete tre note in croce continuamente per metterti a disagio, in più si aggiunge la logica irregolare delle azioni nel gioco, essendo in un sogno niente ha senso, ma tutto segue un concetto. Concetto così astratto che raggiungi uno stato di confusione totale mentre vaghi per la mappa, sei disorienato. Il tuo cervello cerca di elaborare un percorso da seguire, ma il cervello senza logica non va da nessuna parte, sei disorientato. Finalmente riesci a compiere un'azione, non ci sono parole, non ci sono risultati, ti chiedi "sarà servito a qualcosa?", sei semplicemente disorientato. Questo non è un risultato che vedi per una mancanza di level design, questo è una conseguenza di un lungo processo mentale costruito da te, e solo te, per far trovarete stesso in un luogo che non riconosci, che non riesci a conoscere, sei disorientato.

Played originally when it first released. I still love this game to this very day. Will always have a special place in my heart introducing me to RPG maker horror games. It's a really interesting experience. Go play it if you haven't already. <3

Visualmente tiene aspectos muy interesantes e intrigantes, pero en cuestión de lo demás es algo confuso. Tal vez no la mejor opción para hacerlo en stream, sino más para jugarlo uno en privado y en el que se pueda concentrar mucho en el juego y en lo que intenta decir.

ugh whatever that went through the devs brain I want to see. The mindless strolling that still progresses the plot tickles my brain so much. Each world is so unique and I just want a proper artbook of all the small elements within the game. The maps are huge. This game really depicts how vivid dreams feel like and the endless depressive episodes that some of us go through. The ending which I won't spoil, still haunts me to the core because it felt so relatable and made me cry a lot. This game felt more like a emotional exploration than a simple plot driven game. If you want to just dwell into endless visual stroll, this is it for you.

A whole lot of being lost. Like, so much. It was probably painful to watch. It's really neat, though, and implants itself in your brain.

Calling it a game is pushing the concept, it's exploration of "vibes" presented as mazelike dreams. Fascinating concept with cool visuals and audio, but it has neither gameplay nor narrative to really support it.

Прородитель всех игр в жанре RPGmaker Horror. Интересная игра на изучение локаций и поиск смыслов. Одназначный лайк разработчикам онлайн версии игры! P.s Наверное в одного не смог бы дойти до конца.

I love this game. I found out about it though YouTube but forgot what channel. I instantly fell in love. its a spooky yet peaceful walking sim where you play as a girl called Madotsuki as you go to sleep and explore her dreams. the ending can be interpreted quite dark but overall I still love this game so much.
