Overview

N'Oubliez Jamais (lit. Never Forget) is an English Yume Nikki fangame made by Perverse Suffering, known for its unique, realistic approach to the dream system. As opposed to having a single, interconnected dream world, the player is randomly placed in a linear set of locations, the end of the dream depending on the choices of the player. This system of short, random activities is comparable Nintendo's WarioWare game series.

During a period of uploading screenshots for a potential update on Uboachan, Perverse Suffering disappeared for multiple months, returning on April 23rd, 2013 to announce the game's cancellation. The game was developed in RPG Maker 2003.

Gameplay

As mentioned above, N'Oubliez Jamais sends the player to a random location with a scripted event. The players actions (or how deep they go into the dream sequence) give them a different type of memory at the end of the dream:

Cruel
Happy
Rage
Illusion

The ending of the game is determined by the first type of memory the player collects 5 memories for, regardless of the amount of other memory types.

Controls

Move - Arrow Keys
Interact/Select - Z/Space/Enter
Open Menu/Cancel - X/C/Esc

Plot

The game stars Al Ree, a young boy described as a prophet by the menu screen (evidenced by his dreams affecting reality).

Al Ree, unlike many protagonists, lives in a three-room apartment with his parents and cat, and is able to exit his home. Strangely enough, exiting the main room of the apartment leads directly outside the complex and onto the street, either implying they are on the first floor with immediate access to the outdoors in lieu of a lobby or that the designer chose to omit traversing the rest of the building altogether. The adjacent street and alleyway available are featureless and gray, but may be modified gradually by collecting memories.

Effects

Unlike other fangames, effects are not equippable and are assigned to the player based on their current dream.

Upon entering the bed, the player is immersed in a short dream chosen at random, as opposed to the common nexus leading to wherever one chooses to go. The only input the player is allowed is how they deal with each dream, i.e., their actions will have consequences on the outcome of the game. Jamais has been often compared, by fans, to games like Nintendo's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wario_(franchise)#WarioWare_games WarioWare] in this regard.

+'''N'Oubliez Jamais''' (lit. ''Never Forget'') is an English Yume Nikki fangame made by [[Perverse Suffering]], known for its unique, realistic approach to the dream system. As opposed to having a single, interconnected dream world, the player is randomly placed in a linear set of locations, the end of the dream depending on the choices of the player. This system of short, random activities is comparable Nintendo's [[wikipedia:Wario_(franchise)#WarioWare_games|WarioWare]] game series.
-You play as [[Al Ree]], a young boy who, according to the menu screen, is a prophet, as is evidenced throughout the game once more dreams are completed. For example, experiencing certain dreams produce a number of memorabilia in the protagonist's bedroom.
-Ree, unlike many Madotsuki and similar protagonists, lives in a three-room apartment with his parents and cat, and is able to traverse the outside of his home. Strangely enough, exiting the main room of the apartment leads directly outside the complex and onto the street, either implying they are on the first floor with immediate access to the outdoors in lieu of a lobby or that the designer chose to omit traversing the rest of the building altogether. The adjacent street and alleyway available are featureless and gray. Randomly there will be either a red-headed girl leaning out a nearby window or a silver car on the street.
+During a period of uploading screenshots for a potential update on Uboachan, Perverse Suffering disappeared for multiple months, returning on April 23rd, 2013 to announce the game's cancellation. The game was developed in RPG Maker 2003.

+As mentioned above, N'Oubliez Jamais sends the player to a random location with a scripted event. The players actions (or how deep they go into the dream sequence) give them a different type of memory at the end of the dream:
+*'''Cruel'''
+*'''Happy'''
+*'''Rage'''
+*'''Illusion'''
-This fangame works quite unlike any others. Instead of exploring a set dream world, you have different mini-game like environments for you to explore. The way it works is like this: When you go to bed, you are transported to an area. You may have to put out a fire, or explore a maze. Depending on what you do, when the dream ends, you get one of four memories. The four memory types are:
+The ending of the game is determined by the first type of memory the player collects 5 memories for, regardless of the amount of other memory types.
-#Cruel
+===Controls===
-#Happy
+*'''Move''' - Arrow Keys
-#Rage
+*'''Interact/Select''' - Z/Space/Enter
-#Illusion
+*'''Open Menu/Cancel''' - X/C/Esc
-The ending is determined on whichever type you get 5 of each for, without exception. For instance, let's say you get 4 Happy memories, but then you get 5 Cruel Memories first. You'd still get the Cruel Ending first, because you got 5 of them.
