I have been informed that a thread has not been made to discuss YN and it's various fangames here, so I'm making one.
The search function doesn't show anything either. Here we go...
I'll save me some time and copy a description off a fan imageboard for this game...
In Yume Nikki (Dream Diary), you're cast as a young girl living in a small apartment. There is very little to do in your room, but fall asleep and an entire dream world is yours to explore. Go to sleep, dream freaky-ass dreams, collect 'effects', see uboa. While the main 'aim' of the game is to collect all the various effects, the real meat of the experience comes from the huge maps to explore. Many of the wide-open areas loop around on themselves so searching everywhere can often feel a little daunting, but keep an eye on the odd landmark here and there and you should be alright.
Press Z to intereact with the creatures or to pick up effects. Press x to open your menu and activate an effect. Press 1 to 'use' certain effects. If you get very lost (or attacked by a Toriningen) press the 9 key to wake up.
Since its release (in its current state) in 2004, Yume Nikki has built up a significant cult following from all corners of the Internet.Download it Here
In order to play the original game, that download link happens to lead to a translated copy so if I remember correctly it needs no further installation.
In order to play the JP fangames, such as Yume 2kki and .Flow, you need to install the Japanese RTP for RPG maker 2000 (or was it 2003) and then install it by setting the language for non-Unicode programs to Japanese.
this thread on the aforementioned imageboard contains a set of installation instructions (Note: You do not need these for the english-translated version of the original Yume Nikki, just for it's JP fangames).
and here is a download link to Yume 2kki, one of the fangames I mentioned- you have to download four files and sometimes a patch for the latest version of the game in order to install the game.
Yes, discuss and talking about the games goes here. I hope this is the right place for this...
