Overview
Yume Noroi (ユメノロイ) (Yumenoroi, 夢呪, lit. Dream Curse) is a Japanese Yume Nikki fangame made by Nueko in RPG Maker 2000. It stars Tsumetogi, possibly an older dreamer who seems to be a hikikomori.
Gameplay
Yume Noroi plays like most Yume Nikki fangames. The main objective is to collect effects. The "dream world" is entered through the computer, and saving is done with the papers next to the computer. Tsumetogi wakes up from the menu, and crawls out of her bed when "waking up".
When an effect is collected, a glowing circle appears in the Nexus. Effects can be placed on these circles with Z, and taken back if the circle is interacted with a second time.
Controls
- Move - Arrow Keys
- Interact/Select - Z/Space
- Open Menu/Cancel - X/Esc
- Effect Action - Shift
Plot
| Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow. |
|---|
Different versions of Tsumetogi can be seen in the "dream" world, suggesting she's ashamed of herself or her past actions. It seems like she had problems in school and got very jealous over a crush. Using the nail effect on hearts causes a nail to be driven through them and stay there, possibly meaning she was rejected by or heartbroken over this person.
(Highlight at your own risk)
[
In the School World, Tsumetogi is shown smiling over the dead body of what appears to be her crush/loved one, for there have also been parts where both were shown smiling and holding hands, a giant hand separating the pair in a room with another Tsumetogi sitting all alone. After collecting all the effects and placing them on their respective circles in the nexus, going outside to Tsumetogi's balcony shows stairs that were not there before, and she then jumps off, similar to Yume Nikki's ending. ]
