FUCK BIRD PEOPLE

The "plot" of the game is that this girl and her friends at school have decided to start writing dream diaries just for fun, presumably the females found throughout the game. The duck girls are bullies. However, by exploring and recording her dreams, she slowly finds more and more out about herself.

For example, there is one scene in the Wilderness A dream I believe (where you get the towel) in which she hears music and sees the other girls having a good time, but can't join them. Also, she realizes how isolated she really is and that her dream diaries are just a final desperate attempt, and this isolation is symbolized by things such as the stranger on the train, a representative of all the people she sees every day but can not interact with, such as strangers on a real train.

Over time, she starts to meet very kind beings (the ones who give her effects), and after getting all 25 effects she realizes just how much more fantastic and exciting this dream world really is. As such, she decides that it is better to live forever in the world of dreams, and she enters an eternal state of slumber by killing herself.

All those Effects are aspects of herself, things she personally likes/enjoys, or things she would like to have. She gets rid of them/lets go of all of her aspects that makes her a unique individual by dropping them in the crossroads. She is now an empty shell of a human being. With nothing holding her back to this mortal plane, she is now ready to.. fly off her balcony.

But now this raises another question: what do all her effects represent?

I figured the things by the road were kind of supposed to represent traffic lights. First, their appearance has a set of 3 "eyes" in a column, except for the first set which are two to make it look more like a pair of eyes. This is similar to a traffic light. On the road before entering, you hear a car moving, then when you get to the eyes, the noise stops, as they are red or a similar shade of color. The exception is when you go to turn back, there is a green Y that will look directly at her when she goes to leave. These Ys, by the way. also look like female reproductive organs. As she leaves, there is a dead body on the road where you get the "stopsign" power. I really think that this implies some sort of car accident.

She fears travel, to her travel is associated with death, pain and loss. Not only do you have the dead body by the road, the recurring stoplight symbolism and Monoko's reaction to the red light.

You also have the train cars, the one you can enter with the lone character and the crashed one on mars. The crashed one has a creature that has an eye that changes colors like a stoplight. Since it is "in" Mars it must be a well hidden memory, most possibly a trauma.

The aztec/mayan theme is mostly present in the first worlds. They are rarely encountered after that. It's because she lacks visual inspiration or any other connection to the outside world at the beginning of the story, but she still contains things deeper within her sub-consciousness.

As for the bird-girls... They are one of the few things that can't be killed with the knife. They are, as I've said, bullies: When they are alone they won't attack you, only in groups. And when they do attack you alone, then because there is something in the room that hints at something terrible they have done. Remember Matsu seeing herself in the closet in that checkered floor room?

Extra: Hell is just the canal way of Madotsuki's mind and Uboa is the ultimate manifestation of her fear.

Given that it's only version 0.10 it's hard to say what most of the worlds symbolize. I think the first initial worlds are basically nonsense dreams that everyone has while the ones they link up to are actually based off her subconscious/memories.

newfag here. What the fuck is this weird face? It's from Yume Nikki? It's supposed to be scary or what?

>>963390
oh wow. three minutes of awesome light turning off action and then SUDDENLY...

man, /x/ is funnier.

I never miss Yume Nikki threads. Play it, faggots.

>>963378
I want to sage, but I just can't do that to a Yume Nikki thread.

umm... this Uboa is kinda... cute <_<

>>964339
<<_<

No.

>>964339
><_<

No.

>>964421

everyone who watch the video with Uboa suddenly popping out says something like OMG and WTF. why? There wasn't a single brick.

also, sorry for smileys.

brb installan windows

>>964433
You need to actually play the game and have it done to you without just watching it. You're guaranteed to jump the first time.

Because Uboa appears in Poniko's house, Poniko must be an insomniac.

Stupid sexy Uboa

>>963096

Thank you, kind anon. I ignored this a few months ago, but have recently found that /jp/ actually likes GOOD things, unlike /a/, so I'm going to try this.

>>964563
Enjoy your lonely hikki.

>>964563
Enjoy your lonely hikki.

Oh, I remember that fucking game. It scared the shit out of me...

Okay, I'm out of Uboa pictures.

>>964532
i dunno. The problem is, this face looks just funny.

>>964602
It's meant to instill fear and terror, motherfucker. You want that shit standing behind you while you try to sleep?

>>964616

why not? if it will just stay there's nothing to fear.

I've done the whole light switch thing hundreds of times and I always shit bricks when Uboa pops up.

>>964597
i think i have to do that to my light switch too

Watched videos from this game on youtube. I saw the ending too. Pretty cool.

Just finished the game. Didn't expect an ending like that. ;_;

But what is this face that you guys are posting? I didn't see it in the game...

Yume Nikki fag here, saving you guys some headache. This is a map of "Hell" so that you don't get lost.

Here's the english map. enjoy, don't get too lost now.

>>965755
go to the snow world(purple door) and search until you find the igloo with a pool of water in it. Talking to the hole will teleport you to the shoals. wander around and find a balloon, it will also teleport you to somewhere in the water. It helps to use frog because it supposedly makes you faster in this water. If you search around enough you'll find a green baloon that will teleport you in front of the Shoal House.
Inside is a girl. You can stab her if you want. But basicly you need to turn the lights off, go outside, then go back in and repeat. your bricks will happen after a random amount of tries, and you won't be expecting it. Walk up to Uboa to get fucked up and teleported to a dead end.

Because I'm the biggest Yume Nikki fag you'll ever meet, here's some extra shit.

Static Room.

Great Northern Cave.

And GOOD END to keep you happy.

That's some TOP TIER editing.

>>967523
Wasn't me.

>>967531
It's TOP TIER anyway.

My comp can't run the setup cause I lack japanese language support or something, halp. On XP.

Wow.

I played this game, and it sucks. There is absolutely nothing to do with anything in this game. I was interested to begin with because every room was a new kind of drug, everything was absolutely insane. The ending was absolute crap. I went back into this thread to read what the hell was going on, and based on >>963372 and >>963373 , you must be goddamned batman to understand this on your own.

K, so I read that and I thought it's a decent game, but because I had to read alternative sources to understand what I was playing, fucking fail.

Also - saw the Uboa cutscene. Didn't move an inch. Actually, when it did happen, I looked at it like "wow, jp is afraid of this?"

I probably would have pissed myself if it was more natural other than having to turn a light off over nine thousand times.

>>968646
You're not the first, so it's not strange. I think you have to have a pretty broad mind to interpret a lot of the things as they are, but if you see no correlation at all, you're definitely missing it.

As for Uboa, it's just more of a meme than anything else. I saw it, I jumped when it happened, but it wasn't actually too scary. The only truly creepy areas of the game to me are the swamp with the lone women, the creature hidden deep within Mars, and the infinite highway that leads to a dead body. Uboa is just prominent as a fairytale element.

Lesbian here.

Are there any lesbian(/u/) undertones?

>>969554

>Lesbian here.

I hate this season so much.

>>969554
>>969560

I think the Lesbian (/u/) Here thing is mildly amusing AND makes fun of the ridiculous militant dykes. At least it's not being spammed all over.

>infinite highway that leads to a dead body.
Then how do you know it leads to a dead body? I sat there and walked on it for like 15 minutes and it didn't end..

>>969554
Yes.

>>969554
The game's plot is up to the person playing so maybe.

>>969582
After you realize it doesn't end, you turn around to go back, but the path is different and takes you to a dead body. The sound of the speeding car, the Y that looks at you as you turn to leave, and the general atmosphere make it pretty creepy.

>>969591
Fuck. I just hit 9 to wake up because I didn't want to wait another 15 minutes just to get back.

>>969597
>I just hit 9

ಠ3ಠ

>>969614
what.

>>969597
When you turn back it changes instantly.
