Yume Nikki is a 2004 surrealist adventure game created by the pseudonymous Japanese developer Kikiyama. The player controls a girl named Madotsuki and explores her dreams, collecting 24 effects that change her appearance and equipment. Random events also occur throughout the game in the form of cutscenes and unique gameplay sequences. The game was developed using RPG Maker 2003 without a traditional plot or battle system. Gameplay instead focuses on the exploration of the dream world.

Runs well on modern hardware.

I am so glad I didn't give up after the first 30 minutes of aimless exploring. What a masterpiece of a game! I only wish for more
it is incredible, he is yume nikki, she is yume nikki, and i am yume nikki this and its sequel are my all time favorite games, they offer a very unique experience compared to anything anywhere else, its premise is enticing, and its execution is delightful; as madotsuki, you explore a number of worlds composed out of the already mentioned character's dreams, all of them featuring all kinds of visual and soundly experiences arranged unlike anything else you have probably seen. the atmosphere, and the nature of this world tightly embraces you in a positively oppressive way, that makes you hypnotized, as if you were receiving some kind of pleasant claustrophobia this game isn't for everyone, but it completely was for me
It’s been a year since the last time I played it, but I still remember most of the important things. Well, it’s a great game. I’m not exactly sure how I would classify it: horror? Mystery? Suspense?... One of those, haha. Other than that, it’s a great experience and one of the most interesting games I’ve ever played. Every door evokes different feelings and raises questions, haha. It’s a shame there’s no confirmed explanation for its story, because I’d love to fully understand the story behind this game. Highly recommend!!
