Overview

Dream Escaper is a Japanese Yume Nikki fangame created by S.Izumina in WOLF RPG Editor.

Gameplay

Dream Escaper is a non-traditional fangame centered around exploration. This game has a unique feature in which players can warp to different worlds (known as "layers" in-game) using the first option in the menu, rather than having a central hub (i.e. bedroom or Nexus) to return to. Much like other games, it features various chasers among these layers that will send the player to a game over sequence when caught. The game also includes the ability to talk to most NPCs and save from the menu.

The goal of the game is to explore, collect Items which will grant the player new abilities and achieve one of the game's three endings. As the game goes on, players can unlock various features from the title screen including a minigame, a music player and a Memories section which logs certain accomplishments the player has fulfilled.

Controls

Move - Arrow Keys
Interact/Select - Z/Enter/Space
Open Menu/Cancel - X/Esc/0
Return to Title Screen - F12

Plot

You play as a faceless girl named Dres and explore a strange dream world. Throughout the dream, you meet various characters that likely represent Dres in some way, but not much is known beyond this point.

Mysterious Box (ふしぎなはこ)		A box appears and makes Dres disappear briefly, teleporting her to a specific spot on whatever layer she's currently on.
