Thank you for downloading this game!



>Written at the beginning

  This is a fan game influenced by the Yume Nikki produced by Kikiyama. This game is not a sequel to Yume Nikki, and it has absolutely no connection with Yume Nikki itself.
(*Before playing this game, it's best to make sure you've already played Yume Nikki.)
 This game may have uncomfortable scene and graphics. (e.g., bloody scene and flashing lights)

 *This game is still in development, and there is no ending yet (there are also some items that do not display special moves).
In many places, you will see no passing or construction signs, which means that future versions will likely improve the route after that.

Note: Please do not unpack/move the internal files of the game, this may cause some unknown bugs.


>How to play

-Move: arrow keys
-Decision: Z/Space/Enter
-Cancel: X/Esc
