Overview

Mizu is an English Yume Nikki fangame made by Nexus0.10, starring Isaac, a middle-aged man stranded on an island.

The game was originally made on RPG Maker VX Ace in 2014 before being remade in 2020 on RPG Maker 2003 for the 1-week Yume Nikki Fangame Jam #1.

The creator requests that downloads of version HALF+ may not be shared anymore, and no new gameplay videos of that version either.

Gameplay

The game, outside of its unique gate to the dream world, is traditional in gameplay.

Controls

Move - Arrow Keys
Interact/Select - Z/Space
Open Menu/Cancel - X/Esc
Effect Action - Shift

Plot

Isaac has been swimming in the ocean for an unknown (but seemingly long) period of time. Finally, he reaches a small island where a small hut resides. Slowly crawling inside, Isaac finds a statue. A boulder soon traps him inside and as he lacks the strength to move it, the only thing he can do is rest in front of the statue, and dream.

Effects

Effects are called Tides in this game, revolving around a water motif.

Name	Image	Description
Bubble		Isaac floats in a bubble, doubling his speed.
Icicle		Isaac's right arm becomes an icicle, which can be used to kill NPCs. Pressing SHIFT also toggles snow.
Vapor		Isaac becomes a vapor ghost. Pressing SHIFT makes him invisible to chasers.
Chalice		Isaac carries a chalice in his left hand. Pressing SHIFT makes him drink from it, sending him back to the nexus. If Isaac's sin count is high enough, there is a chance he will instead drop it out of guilt and be sent to an inescapable room.
Cloud		Isaac rides on a cloud. Pressing SHIFT causes a thunderstorm.

Effects (Older Versions)

Name	Image	Description
Fluency		Isaac becomes a pair of blue running shoes, increasing his speed.
Punctuation		Isaac becomes a punk with a green mohawk.
Expression		Isaac becomes a face with an expression depending on the direction he walks.

-Isaac's ship crashes and sinks. He cries for help, but no one answers. He finds a shrine on a nearby island, where someone moves a rock in front of the entrance as soon as he enters. The only thing he can do now is record his progress and pray to the statue to enter a dream world.
