/yn/ - Yume Nikki General

so /yn/, what makes you keep coming back here? Is the comfy banter, your dedication to the game, or because you're bored?

is there any word for how this game makes me feel?
i feel lost in something bigger than what is conceivable. i used to be a diver. being upside down underwater is comparable. so is breathing there. just looking into the far reaches of the ocean while you're submerged, knowing that you really shouldn't be able to. but for some reason you are.
my stomach feels cold and petrified. a sensation that's crawling up my oesophagus up to my throat. it's not restrictive, it's not scary. it's just a gut instinct telling me something isn't right.
i think about being different. my mind wanders.
explores subject matter very different from the game which somehow still feels connected.
loneliness but comfort in solitude.
being lost in an ocean of ink.
at a certain point you just lose track of which way is up.

i can't really put my feelings into words and instead tend to write down abstract thoughts and concepts instead. can anyone relate?

I just need the game folder. I saw a similar thread for the portable version but I would prefer the full version.

why the apartment that Madotsuki lives in, only has one room? Where is the bathroom or the kitchen room?

it's just one of those days
where you don't wanna wake up

Whatever happened to the mobile version of NASU?
It got pulled down from the Android store a long while ago. Is it just lost now?

Did you know there was a semi-official thing done with Visual Novel Maker? It realised only in Japan. I remember seeing it once in Nico-Nico Video, but I haven't been able to find info about it.

What about the stuff made by Surfer's Paradise for the YumenikkiProject?
We have the very small thumbnails, 1 or 2 pics of the machines that had some of those things, and maybe a couple of the shirts and the keychains (normally with huge watermarks on them). Are there not good pics fo them?

The rulers and pens and pins… are they all just gone? No pics of them?

Has someone ripped (would that be the word?) the LINE stickers?

vgperson recently made REM-9 a yume nikki randomizer program.

You can download it here https://vgperson.com/games/rem9.htm

I made a browser port of NASU. Let me know if it sucks but keep in mind I might cry.

So I just downloaded .Flow from it's original downloading page (I downloaded the English translation).

Everything is working Ok, but how do I put the game on windowed mode? Whenever I start the game it goes into fullscreen, is there any way to play it on a window like the classic Yume Nikki?

Yume nikki theory:

that guy murdered in the forest is yume nikki's significant other/father/parental figure who died in some sort of ambush with nikki. She survived, but was raped. What's interesting about this location is that it feels distinctively grounded in reality vs the other areas which are often times more abstract. Along with all of the other imagery, like the uterus(s) on the road, and the hands & eyes scattered throughout the entire game, I feel that the most likely reason we come across yume nikki as a complete shut in is because of the trauma associated with rape, combined with losing a significant other.

Murder is a theme throughout Nikki's dreams, she can use a knife to kill almost any NPC character. She can afford to be a complete shut in because of the leftover money from whichever significant other that was murdered in the ambush she was raped in. Nikki literally kills herself at the end of the game, something really terrible (sometimes psychological problems but in this case I don't think that theme aligns with Nikki's dreams) pushed her to taking this action. I believe that terrible thing is the ambush and associated rape.

I'm really ADHD so my thoughts are super disorganized here, this was pretty low effort anyways but sometimes I think my writing is frustrating to read. What do you guys think about my theory, I literally just started playing this game today and am connecting dots. I don't really have a huge ego about a lot of things but I am really good at reading comprehension and interpreting art I scored perfectly in that subject on my SATS, so idk I could just be a complete fucking idiot though im probably wrong and havent seen enough of the game.
