Overview

August 31 (八月三十一号, Bā yuè sānshíyī hào) is a Chinese Yume Nikki Fangame created by Yongdao Zhiping in RPG Maker 2003. It stars Huá Jū, who seems to be a high school student.

Gameplay

August 31 plays like most Yume Nikki fangames, except that there are some events that have dialogue with other characters. One of which will unlock a third nexus door and the debug room; you need to interact with the middle of the dream room's painting to access it. It seems you can do this without collecting any of the effects.

The game has little to no music, the few of them being midis. There appears to be two endings, though they are inaccessible by normal means.

Plot

Like most protagonists, Huá Jū refuses to leave his room. There are events with dialogue that hint at the relationships between Huá Jū and the other characters as well as his past.

Effects

Effect	Image	Description
Flowering Branch (花枝)		Huá Jū holds a Sakura tree branch, increasing hismovement speed. This effect is buggy and might not always work as expected.
Violation (违反)		Huá Jū wears casual clothes.
Hydrocephalus (脑进水)		Huá Jū's hair becomes a fishbowl with water in it.
Marīcī/Sun Flame (阳焰)		Huá Jū appears glitched, with neon lights and numbers on his sprite.
Burin (刻刀)		Huá Jū holds a burin, a chisel for engraving on tombstones.

Unused Effects

These effects are fully implemented, but inaccessible in the main game. However, the School Uniform effect can be found in the Debug Room.

Effect	Image	Description
School Uniform (校服)		Huá Jū's hair turns black and wears a school uniform.
Tangerine Lamp (桔灯)		Huá Jū carries a lantern in his right hand.

Characters

Character	Sprite	Description
Huá Jū (华琚)		The main character of the game.
Graffiti (涂鸦)		A mysterious character seen in many areas of the dreamworld in a younger and older form. They cause an event that ends with them becoming hostile to Huá Jū and unlocks the third nexus door and the debug room. In the debug room, interacting with them gives the message "This guy is a birdman".
Twinkle (微光)		A character that triggers an event where they give Huá Jū an ominous warning, and send him away. Interacting with them in the debug room gives the message "I don't know who it is, either."
Witch (魔女)		This character has an event where she sends Huá Jū to an area with chasers. In the debug room, she is described as a "Young Witch Lady."
Sakura		A girl that gives the Flowering Branch effect.
LOVE		A girl that gives the Marīcī/Sun Flame effect.
