A surreal dreamlike exploration game developed in RPG Maker 2k3, heavily inspired by Yume Nikki.

Move with the directional arrows, interact with Space or Enter and exit with Esc.
Your decisions will determine which of the two endings you will get.
You are unable to run, but you can save game at the statues in the main hub.

Extract the .zip file and execute "RPG_RT.exe". Press F4 for Fullscreen.
Any kind of feedback, bug report or commentary will be heavily appreciated.
And beware of flashing lights and not so (but still) visceral and sexual content.

Recién ahora lo pude probar, lo tenía pendiente de la vez que hablamos un poco de RPG Maker. Muy lindo, se nota que es algo hecho por alguien que ama Yume Nikki y eso lo hace muy especial.
Gracias por jugarlo :3
Hi, well, I haven't finished it yet, I think I should finish it first, anyway, the thing is that as soon as I started it I realized several things that creaked me, among these is that as soon as you open the folder you can see the map files, I don't know how to say it without seeming conceited so I'll say it normally, RPG Maker has the obsession to export it and make it compressed, I don't know if it was your intention to leave it as it was or you didn't give it that much importance, apart from this, some pannings are not very intuitive and make you dizzy, I don't say anything about the color palette and the flashing lights of the maps because I know where the idea comes from, but it does make me laugh a little that many entrances or exits are off-center, it's like, some only take up one tile wide but others two, and finally, it's weird not even being able to interact with some "creatures", it feels not very organic, apart from that, the character has charisma and the game is cool
Hi! Thanks for your feedback! Ah, yes, all those map files annoy me. I decided to leave them there to avoid breaking the game, is there a way to hide them?
EDIT: The entrance-exit problem you've mentioned is now solved on this new version, thanks for your feedback!!
I haven't played Yume Nikki yet but I did play LSD dream emulator, so this concept isn't entirely strange to me. I had fun, and it was well made.
This game also comes with a file called "dotled"; it may be worth checking out.
The warning screen is too fast to read.
Awesome room transitions.
Maybe the dialogue for the statue shouldn't repeat after the first time.
I think I like this kind of game, but it's weird because one part of me thinks the developer worked hard to add all sorts of things, and I should see everything so that effort doesn't go to waste. Another part of me thinks, "I'm too lazy to do all that."
When I give feedback to people, it's relatively easy to know what they want to make, so I tell them ways to do it. Here, it's hard to know what the developers of this kind of game want to make because it's just a dream. Nothing really has to have purpose or make sense, even if it does. Spotting bugs or unintended features is even harder because of that.
In the pink, bird-shaped room with five red holes, there's a weird interaction where moving forward diagonally lets you pass through the solid holes. Even if it was a mistake, it probably adds charm to the dream aesthetic, so criticizing things here feels like trying to lecture a stoner.
But I did get hard locked in place in that room with five people spinning with the flashing cyan and pink lights trying to go right pass the white door where you meet the kid (the jumping goes to the wrong direction).
I don't regret playing this game, The artistic value was pretty high and I did get some meaningfiul messages out of it, or deluded myself into thinking there was, but it has it because I say so.
Have a great day you too btw.
Hi! Thanks for your feedback, especially for the jump issue in the pink-cyan map. It's fixed now.
Enjoy your life!! :)
КРУТАЯ ИГРА МНЕ ВСЕ ПОНРАВИЛОСЬ, ПРОСТО ОГОНЬ, ВОСХИТИТЕЛЬНО
cool atmosphere. At times it did feel like i was playing yume nikki.
got to the number room yet wonder what the password is.
Thanks for playing!! :)
And for the password, it's a secondary mini-secret. Hopefully someone gets it someday.
