Yume Nikki - Games - Facepunch Forum

[img]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Achievement_Unlocked_-_0G_-_UboAAAAAAAAAAAAA_6626.PNG[/img] [b]AHHHHHHH[/b] from wikipedia: [QUOTE=wikipedia;26061570]Yume Nikki (ゆめにっき?, lit. Dream Diary) is a 2005 independently produced adventure game by homebrew Japanese developer Kikiyama. The game was created using RPG Maker, but has no role-playing game (RPG) elements. The game is currently in version 0.10. Players explore the dreams of the fictional character Madotsuki (窓付き, lit. window). It is through this that the player is able to view scenes that are recognized as being genuinely disturbing at times, such as being swallowed by a large red sewer-creature, meeting a disembodied head character known only as Uboa (who then transports the player to an endless, repeating stretch of map) and a full-screen rotating image of a girl with five arms. Originally a little-known game that became popular on the Japanese forum 2ch, the English version followed an explosion of popularity among English-speaking players, with its cultural impact among fans gradually increasing.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Rubs10;26061394][url=http://db.tigsource.com/games/yume-nikki]Here's a link.[/url][/QUOTE] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7c/Yumenikki.png[/img] [img]http://www.bananaloft.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/YumeNikki1.png[/img] [img]http://www.honestgamers.com/images/games/13/Y/34545/3.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.youtube.com/vi/YMwDplGAI70/0.jpg[/img] [b]Gameplay[/b] again wikipedia [QUOTE=wikipedia;26061570] Players begin the game as a female hikikomori named Madotsuki, at home in her apartment, the only area she can explore when awake. Though the apartment has a balcony, attempting to open the door to the outside world results in Madotsuki simply shaking her head. Her only means of entertainment are a television, which shows a simple testcard when interacted with, and a Famicom-style game console with the game 'Nasu' (Eggplant), "the most depressingly futile minigame ever made."There is also a writing desk which the player can use to save data. When Madotsuki sleeps she begins to dream, the player is presented with a dream world which resembles the same room Madotsuki fell asleep in, with some minor differences. In this dream world the player is able to leave the room, which will lead to a zone of 12 doors commonly known as "the Hub,""the Door Room,", or more popularly, "the Nexus." All 12 doors open from the start, each leading to a different world, and often worlds themselves will contain portals or doors to other places. The environment behind each door is uniquely surreal in its own way. The plot and story of the game is for the user to navigate the main character's dreams and to obtain 25 objects known as effects. "These effects cause all sorts of things to happen, from the pedestrian (acquiring a blanket for Madotsuki to wrap herself in), to the strange (transforming the protagonist into an Oni), to the downright demented (the protagonists' head turning into a large hand with an eye in its palm)."[4] Once the player has all 25 effects and drops them in the Nexus, the end of the game will follow. Both natural and artificial backgrounds like a forest, mountainside, a colorful neon maze and a bizarre number world set a strange tone for the game. One section of the game has also been made to closely resemble the original Mother game in homage. The player can attempt to interact with objects, although few will provide any response. The player can choose to wake from dreams at any time, by causing Madotsuki to pinch her cheek and awaken. This behavior ensures that the player always has a way out of the dream world at all times.[/QUOTE]

Very informative sir.

I played it for a bit, couldn't go through to the end because I was a pussy, then saw what happens on a playthrough video. Never played again. If you're into suspense, you should definitely try Yume Nikki.

This game has some of the most creepiest moments in a video game. Uboa scene is a classic example of what Yume Nikki does best!

This game is awful and the least bit scary.

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;26138712]This game is awful and the least bit scary.[/QUOTE] Game isn't supposed to be scary. Doom ain't scary either but it's got the setting. And anybody who said it was is either a big baby or missed the point of the game entirely. It's more over exploration. Finding new things and seeing what you could accomplish within it. Most people put it down after the first ten minutes of not being able to find anything in the forest world. But when you stick it out just awhile longer you find that there's a whole lot more things to do. Random events to encounter, cool locations to explore and a whole cast of vastly different monsters. I understand why many wouldn't enjoy the game, what with the limitless voids of space. But I absolutely adored it. I've seen just about everything and love it to death. There are 25 effects scattered throughout the worlds that are as useless as all the toys you receive in the Warioware games. But I ain't caring. Once did a run of me getting them all in under forty minutes. Crazy stuff. The music's fun too, and just about everything else. Here's a mix of one of the songs I dug up on Youtube awhile ago.

These random events are not worth the effort of exploring for 10 minutes in a world that loops but has nothing to it. The affects are also pointless. The music is not THAT good either, some areas have good music (I remember one with a bell). The game is just a massive waste of time.

Some even have ranks that show just a pretty picture that don't even give you any special attributes to further "waste your time" on. One of the most popular franchises has you jumping on mushrooms and turtles throughout the whole game collecting golden stars that in the end don't benefit you in the real world or in the game at all. Just get a small green dinosaur on top of the castle that grants you one hundred lives that you really no longer need. Just about everything could be considered a waste of time if you don't like it or you yourself believe it's pointless. And there's quite a few people who do enjoy it and think it's a real great game. So. To them. It's not pointless at all. We all play video games here, since it is a video game board. All games are just as meaningless as the next. But as long as you're enjoying yourself you get the benefit. And we all have different varying opinions. So uhm, hrm.

No. Most games have entertainment value. Or at least some value. You can walk into each world for ten seconds and then you've seen the whole place. So in reality, you can get the same amount of value that you did in 40 minutes in two minutes.

I don't know why, but the name of this game make me think of a pornstar.

The only ones you do encounter are flames blocking entrance to a new power and event. The other one being your knowledge of your current location. You'll have to make landmarks to know just where you are and where've you been already. I understand where you're coming from. But I think the exploring part's what gets most of the users who do like it in. It's very different from most if not all games that have already been made. It's really not for everybody. But I'm trying to tell you all the things that make it good, to me.
