This was followed up by an official English localization releasing worldwide on July 11, 2012. Yume Nikki was added to the Playism distribution platform on Februunder version 0.10a. The game otherwise has no actual plot or dialogue, and nearly the entire game is left up to speculation.
The goal is to seek out and acquire all 24 ' effects'. 'Yume Nikki' means 'Dream Diary' in Japanese (and thus can be written as 夢日記, although the title is normally in hiragana), and the game follows a girl named Madotsuki as she dreams. It was initially released on J(under version 0.00), and received numerous updates until October 1, 2007, when version 0.10 was released. The game was made using RPG Maker 2003, and is regarded as one of the most original applications of the software, as well as the start of a possible new genre of games. Sui generis / Arthouse / Psychological Horror Yume Nikki (ゆめにっき, pronounced /ju me nikki/) is a 32-Bit freeware game created by KIKIYAMA, a mysterious Japanese game designer.
