(FAIR WARNING BEFORE YOU START: The english version currently has some sound effects missing. It's up to you to decide whether to wait for a hotfix or go on playing it!


A true and timeless classic, Yume Nikki sparked a cult fanbase that I happily have been a member of almost since it came out in 2004.

Explore the bizarre dreams of Madotsuki, as you wander through landscapes that might drive you crazy, cheer you up, make you slightly disturbed and uncomfortable, and perhaps even witness events you shouldn't have expeRIあああああああ.

The creativity behind the game has inspired a very large amount (and more to come!) of fangames, with different aspects of Yume Nikki, and different interpretations behind the very long list of fan theories of what the original game is, and what the context means.

These themes include gore, horror, hallucinatory space trips, and the list goes on.

With no main objective in the game (aside from an achieveable ending screen), exploration and interaction is everything.
Go everywhere, interact with everything, see it all, make your own meaning of the things you find.

Just make sure you don't harass the wrong creatures, they will surely make you understand why.


Sit back, get comfortable, and get ready for a strange but intriguing journey.



Should you find yourself enjoying the game but still hunger for more, I would recommend the following fangames:

- Yume 2kki: The same game, but with a VAST amount of more things to do.
(Installing the game requires a few technical solutions as the game is made by japanese people. Expect to be patient, and be ready to google errors a lot. I couldn't get it to work personally, but it's in the horizon)

- .flow: Gory, disturbing, morbid, and a little sad.,. Excellent overall quality and pixel art.

- LCDDEM: Bright and cheery, very atmospheric, absolutely incredible music, with a tragic background. Good amount of stuff to find!
(The creator has for very curious and unknown reasons done everything he could to delete every trace of his game, citing "he's trying to forget someone in his life", but you can easily find it with google anyway)

- Yuque: Short and nice, good atmosphere. Rich and detailed events to find.

Fleshchild: Very gory, disturbing. Strong focus on manslaughter. Unfinished game, has a very sudden and abrupt ending.

- Me: Slightly amateurish, but nonetheless has a very significant amount of content to explore. Quite quirky!

There are many more fangames, but these are my favorite ones that I feel is worthwhile spending some hours in.


If you're interested in discussing theories and lore, there is a ton of videos on Youtube that can explain most of the strange findings to you.
You can also join the Yume Nikki Reddit where we fans regularly post content.


Thanks for reading, and I hope you will have as much fun as we've had through the years!
