Stop

Oh, I get it. You must have used a tutorial.

>>6373
It's not necessary, neither is skill, dude, it can be passed through brute force, if you just walk without paying attention to things you can pass the game, that's why it is a long game, and one about exploration.

For some things, there are no clues of what you have to do, it's pure brute force, and guessing at most, for example to trigger the ending.

Since skill is not required, using a guide or not changes nothing except the player missing the merit of passing it without one. Such honor.

>>6374
If you walk by everything without even paying attention to the npcs, scenery, music or anything, why even bother playing the game? It's supposed to be an experience, not a chore.

>>6375
Not saying it must be played like that, just saying it can be.

my sisters friend saw me playing it and she tried to kill everything with the knife, and that was about it

>normie friend
>not enough bishies for her
what are you on about?

It's okay if you show them YN just pls dont show them ubuu

>>6246
It's not a game that everyone will "get." I don't want to really call Yume Nikki something like an "ebin deep art game that only sophisticated people understand," but if you're the type of person that regularly consumes superficial media with colorful explosions and shit where the game holds your hand the whole way, you probably won't like it. I say that as someone who regularly enjoys colorful explosions and some games that hold your hand the whole way.

>and that uboachan was really underwhelming
Well yeah, if you know something is going to happen it sucks, but if you're really into the game and exploring and just happen upon it while you're in this really cutesy little area with comfy music, it'll make you shit yourself. It's just like the bathroom scene in Eternal Darkness. If you know even an inkling about it beforehand, it loses its impact.

I have a friend I talk to sometimes. I showed him the game since I know he played a lot of old NES/SNES etc. games, but he never beat it himself. (I 'speedran' it for him just to show him the end.)

>Not with Yume Nikki tho
Then why did you post this in the Yume Nikki general board, you loaf bread?
We have /ig/ for this. Maybe someone can help you there.

Congratulations! You found the hidden error message! It means that you have to lurk more.

If you don't want to play until the end then don't, you're likely one of the fews that keep mado dreaming forever.

Have you finished it already? Do you already know the ending? If not then I don't really see a reason why you wouldn't want to keep playing it, unless you're bored with it of course.

Didn't the city bg change when you get out to the balcony? If it changes every time you wake up, then you may have a point on the 1 dream = 1 night thing. That doesn't assure you find an effect every night though.
And also, we don't know how long she's been in her room, the game could have started at day 0 just as much as it could be things happening after 2 years of that lifestyle, or just her last days before the ending.

I personally think it doesn't take that long. 1 month, 2 at most.

A question, or just thought, that I have always had about Mado is if she was in the room for quite long periods of time, days at least, then how was she not dehydrating/starving or having to use the bathroom? (Of course I like to pretend she does it when we leave, because then she is truly alone again…) But personally I believe that the time span is really based upon how many times you wake up in game and go through the day/night cycles.

>>6319
I like the idea that it takes place over several weeks.
I'd feel kind of disappointed if the whole game was meant to take place all in one night.
>Of course I like to pretend she does it when we leave, because then she is truly alone again…
Yeah, that's what I think.
Maybe she lives with her parents (dropout, just graduated Japanese-equivalent of HS, vacation etc.), and just doesn't go out of her room during times in which she knows they'll cross paths. I.e. whenever the game is loaded.

>>6330
Nice theory, that is practically the same way I think of it too. I tend to think of her as a 15/16 year old dropout (if that is possible in Japan, I know it is here in Murica at least…) and that she lives with someone, but they either rarely check in on her due to buisseness or neglect. Of course there are probably reasons to why she killed herself, so to me the game ending in one night feels to short too.

And… what's even the point of all of this?

>>6276
It's a hobby of mine. Though it's niche it's something I enjoy, and no more pointless than most other hobbies.

Isn't the spaceship glitch intentional? I think madotsuki's head actually is lower when this happens, as if she's broken her neck or something.

>>6290
It's hard to tell, because there are other ways to obtain that kind of sitting, but that's the only way that softlocks it.

Basically you can obtain that same type of sitting by using an effect in a chair like frog, exiting the chair and using frog so you can walk around while you are supposed to be sitting. When you do this you have around 12.5 second before the game will force you to sit down. When the games timer ends and you are forced to sit down you will be sitting with the spite of Madotsuki with her head down. Which has a lot of interesting properties.

The reason for this I am not really sure of, but because of the fact that the sprites existence can already be explained by the Madotsuki in the closet(which means it wasn't custom made) that means that it is more likely to just be something along the lines of the game not knowing what sitting state you should actually be in. There is evidence of this because if you use certain glitches to be able to have the sitting sprite while moving it will cycle through the 4 different sitting sprites used for the animation if you have the normal sitting state. However if you have the head down sitting state it will not cycle through any different sprites while you move.

Plus why would someone purposely put an event in to softlock their game? It would ruin any save progress, and just doesn't seem like a practical design decision.

If I find anything more about it I'll post it here.

This is probably one of the craziest things I've seen in terms of glitches in this game.

Sounds like the files were copied to another server or something. Since they were copied at the same minute it was probably automatic, and looking at how the html files are structured they probably used an editor. That host probably has a site builder or something that generated new files when they added the banner.

Interesting, June 4 2015 is also the date when the site became online again after being offline for some weeks.
