Overview

De I Cide is a traditional Yume Nikki fangame made by Saki-Izuriha (出灰サキ) (Pixiv), who also made an English version of it, but almost immediately deleted it. This game features mostly dark and disturbing themes and has a rather unusual for a Yume Nikki fangame soundtrack, which consists of metal and trance tracks in contrast to calm piano music. It stars a girl with messy hair named Inahoozuki (否鬼灯) who, most likely, is insane.

Gameplay

Like in most traditional fangames, your objective is exploring dream worlds and collecting effects. Plus there are three different endings to reach. You enter Inahoozuki's dreams through her bed, save at the notebook on her desk. In the latest version the option to save at any point of the game was added due to unpredictable game freeze bugs.

A curious fact about this game is that it has the least malicious-looking chasers. Though they still run fast after you and trap you in a sectioned-off area. There also is a frequently recurring character - dark figure with a golden padlock - who won't let you pass through to some areas.

Inahoozuki's Dream Room has a music player with the game's soundtrack, though you must unlock most of the songs first to be able to play them. It also has a mini-game where you control a rapid figure that has to smash normal mushrooms avoiding the colorful moving "chaser" mushrooms. The most noticeable thing in her dream room is a round floating platform which moves by itself. This isn't an effect, it rather serves as an alternative to riding a chair while in dream.

Plot

You start off as Inaoohzuki, who is, according to her description is a Psychopath (in Ver I), or a Demon Child. Not only she refuses to leave her room, she won't even go out to her balcony. Her "normal" room is messy and bloody, in contrast to that, her dream room looks cute and cozy. Because Inahoozuki is blonde, this may (or may not) reference Poniko and the Uboa event in Yume Nikki.

Effects

Name	Image	Description
Angel		Inahoozuki has no right arm, instead, she is given a black feathered angel wing and a black halo. Her right eye becomes red. It helps in getting rid of the "Lock Shadows".
Demon		Inahoozuki has no left arm, instead, she is given a black wing, tail and pointy ears/horns. Her left eye becomes red. Press Shift to make her eye green.
Chariot		Inahoozuki has the wheels of a chariot which double her speed. If Shift is pressed, a dialogue which defines how fast you want her to go pops out. Though there are some places where you can't bring up the dialog, so the speed is only doubled when the effect is in use. The Chariot effect also moves slowly in water.
Goth-Loli		Inahoozuki is dressed in Gothic Lolita fashion. Press Shift to straighten her hair.
Short Hair		Inahoozuki wears Ginmokusei's clothes and has his hairstyle. Ginmokusei is a grey-haired kid you meet in one of the worlds.
Kitsune		Inahoozuki is being literally possessed by a demon fox spirit. She has red eyes and fox ears and a glowing fire-like aura. Some of her movements cannot be controlled. It has no special action.

Russian Roulette		Inahoozuki holds a gun with one bullet. Pressing Shift causes Inahoozuki to play Russian Roulette with it; trying to shoot herself with it. Like in the original "game", there is a good chance to not get a bullet in the head. Nevertheless, each time there is a random chance (1:6?) Inahoozuki shoots herself, then she'll be forced to wake up.
