Yume Nikki was inspirational for other RPG style games such as UNDERTALE, The RPG game where you don't have to destroy anyone,
OneShot, a surreal top down Puzzle/Adventure game with unique gameplay capabilities,
Omori, a psychological horror game about facing your fears and
Everhood, An UNCONVENTIONAL ADVENTURE RPG filled with amusing musical battles.
This game was beyond inspirational so today I wanted to show this game the respect it deserved.
Yume Nikki is a 2004 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.
The game was developed using RPG Maker 2003 without a traditional plot or battle system. Gameplay instead focuses on exploration of the dream world.
Yume Nikki was distributed as freeware on Kikiyama's personal website in June 2004, with updates continuing until 2007. The game received a cult following globally following an English fan translation. Its emphasis on open-ended exploration and lack of combat was described as a precursor to walking simulators. Its visual style and horror elements also inspired numerous indie games. Yume Nikki was published on Steam by Playism in 2018 in promotion of a reboot, Yume Nikki: Dream Diary, which was released the same year.
