Overview

Mugamuchuu (夢我夢中, ムガムチュウ, meaning Our Crazy Dream or Our Engrossing Dream) is a Japanese Yume Nikki Fangame made by Machikado no Michi and Haru. Mugamuchuu is traditional in nature, seemingly inspired more by Yume Nikki than by fellow fangames (If not with some resemblance to Yume Graffiti).

A test version of Mugamuchuu v0.003 with an alternative pre-triggered ending could be found in the Movie folder in later versions of the game (v0.007 appears to have removed this).

Gameplay

The first part of the game stars Nakitsuki, a boy refusing to leave his room, instead exploring a dream world. In his room, the desk is used to save and the bed is used to enter the dream world. The goal of the game is effect collection; Nakitsuki will later gain the ability to drop off effects in a new Nexus door. After triggering Nakitsuki's ending, the game switches to the second protagonist, Niyatsuki . Niyatsuki saves through his TV and enters the dream world through his closet.

Nakitsuki's Part

Nakitsuki has an average-sized room with a bed, a desk, a modern wide screen TV, a dresser and a balcony. The debug room can be accessed through the left side of the wall with the door in Nakitsuki's dream room.

Chasers trap Nakitsuki in inescapable, yet usually large locations. Money is not earned through killing NPCs, rather from searching through recycle bins next to vending machines. Interestingly, Cards World contains 4 different custom menus.

As part of a bug, certain locations allow you to save from within the dream.

Niyatsuki's Part

Niyatsuki's room is relatively big, with a large bed, a closet, a wall with a panoramic view of the city, and a widescreen TV with large speakers, resembling the setup of a home theater (possibly implying Niyatsuki is relatively wealthy for a fangame protagonist).

Niyatsuki's part has very few worlds, as it appears to be incomplete. Outside of his two usable effects, Niyatsuki has 2 effects left unimplemented in the game.

Controls

• Move - Arrow Keys

Plot

The game starts with Nakitsuki, a boy who refuses to leave his room. After collecting all 13 of Nakitsuki's effects, a second protagonist is unlocked: Niyatsuki. While Nakitsuki's room looks more traditional and casual, Niyatsuki's room is larger and appears more expensive. Like most traditional fangames, Mugamuchuu contains events, endings, chasers and recurring characters giving brief hints to a plot.

Effects (v0.006)

Nakitsuki

Name	Image	Description
Golf Club (ゴルフクラブ)		Nakitsuki wields a golf club as a weapon, allowing him to kill NPCs (who avoid him when the effect is equipped). Pressing Shift makes him swing the club.
Vivid Colors (ビビットカラー)		Nakitsuki's colors become chaotic and change as he walks, resembling a glitched sprite. Pressing Shift makes the screen flash.
Flashlight (かいちゅうでんとう)		Nakitsuki holds a flashlight, lighting up dark locations. Pressing Shift makes Nakitsuki lift it towards his face, turning it on or off.
Bucket (バケツ)		Nakitsuki's head appears to be missing, the rest of his body covered with an upside-down bucket. His feet can be barely seen underneath it. Pressing Shift makes Nakitsuki cover his feet with the bucket as well, decreasing his speed.
Red and White (こうはく)		Nakitsuki wears a religious Japanese red and white outfit, holding an Ōnusa. Pressing Shift makes him wave it, causing rain. Pressing Shift after this modifies the amount of rain falling, the rain disappearing after unequipping the effect.
Rocket (ロケット)		Nakitsuki rides a rocket, increasing his speed. When moving, the speed of the rocket messes up his hair and changes his facial expression.
Scrunchie (シュシュ)		Nakitsuki wears his hair in a long side ponytail tied with a pink scrunchie.
Bandages (ほうたい)		Nakitsuki's face is covered with bandages. Pressing Shift makes him open the bandages, revealing a large red eye on his face and returning him to the Nexus.
Snowsuit (ぼうかんぐ)		Nakitsuki wears earmuffs and a winter coat, putting his hands in his pockets for warmth. This effect causes snow to fall.
Beaver (ビーバー)		Nakitsuki's hair and shirt become orange, and he gains brown beaver ears, a tail and paws. Pressing Shift causes him to "swim" in the air like a beaver, decreasing his speed but allowing him to enter certain locations.
Prince (おうじ)		Nakitsuki wears a Victorian-era prince costume. Pressing Shift causes him to unsheathe a dagger, swing it and point it towards the sky.
Sailor (すいへい)		Nakitsuki wears a sailor uniform with a beret.
Viola (ヴィオラ)		Nakitsuki carries a viola.

Niyatsuki

Metal Bat (きんぞくバット)		Niyatsuki wields a metal bat as a weapon, allowing him to kill NPCs (who avoid him while the effect is equipped.)

Characters

Name	Image	Description
Nakitsuki (なきつき)		The first playable protagonist, and the main character of the game.
Niyatsuki (にやつき)		The second playable character, an unlockable protagonist.
Kie (鬼絵)		Also known as Laughing Demon (鬼笑, Oniwarai), Kie is a grey-haired demon with heterochromia dressed in traditional Japanese clothes. It appears at several places in your dream, triggering certain events. They react to no effects and cannot be killed. After Nakitsuki has been caught by them in the dream at least once, Kie can appear in Nakitsuki's dream room at random.
Mad Kie		Mad "chaser" versions of Kie that send the protagonist to a sectioned-off area.
Itsumi (逸見)		A Miko (Shrine Maiden) with red eyes and long dark hair. She is found at the shrine, sometimes sweeping the floor.
Boukangu (防寒着)		The character who gives Nakitsuki the Snowsuit effect. They wear the same green coat, but they are taller than Nakitsuki, have brown hair and purple eyes. Like Itsumi's event, Boukangu can be occasionally found sleeping.
Uminoko (海の子)		A mermaid with long blue hair found in Underwater World.
Mochizuki		A boy Nakitsuki encounters on a rooftop in the dream world.
Half-fish Doctor (魚影医師)		A doctor (presumably a marine biologist) who crossed himself with a fish, located in a submarine resembling Seccom Masada's spaceship.
Taigun		A red-haired character dressed in green, found sitting on a bench in Pink Trees World.
Shinkan		Four priests based upon the suits of a deck of cards (red being hearts, blue being spades, green being clubs and yellow being diamonds), each giving a different menu skin. The four are involved in the collection of an effect.
Amagaza		A person of uncertain gender with short violet hair and a transparent umbrella, seemingly in love with the protagonist.
Natsuki (夏樹)		A boy with pitch black hair, a deep blue hoodie and black pants. His in-game status calls him "Fully Recovered", hinting towards a previous illness. He and Yatsuki are said to be brothers. This character is not involved in the dream sequences. Presumably he is a part of a hidden event/ending.
Yatsuki (八樹)		A boy with dark green hair, a black vest, a shirt and bluish, almost aqua pants. He and Natsuki are said to be brothers. This character is not involved in the dream sequences. Presumably he is a part of a hidden event/ending.
