Events & Trivia
This section is still a WIP.
Bored
In the real room, if you wait a little, Soutarou will yawn.
Waking Up
Most of the effects have a unique waking up action, try to find them all ! For example, if you have the Tape effect equipped, Soutarou looks like he is being taped until he disappear or, if he's in the child state of the Down Jacket effect, he'll falls on his knees.
What's also interesting is that the only time Soutarou will pinch his cheek like any other dreamer is when he has the Black Hair effect equipped.
Trying to wake up when he's already awake will result in him looking up - probably at the player - confused.
Ringing phone
- Please note that you won't be able to witness this event if you have collected all effects.
In the dream room, sleep in the couch and wait until you hear a phone ringing. Then, check the drawer next to you ; a short cutscene will begin.
Black Stone World ghosts
If you equip the Brass Knuckles effect in front of the ghosts wandering in the world, they will immediately disappear and you won't be able to hurt any of them.
Behind the doors
In Door World, there is a green door that, when interacted with, will slighty open, revealing a big red eye behind it. There is also a random chance that if you try to open any locked door, they will all open and shows multiple red eyes.
Manor Shenanigans
Somewhere in the Rainwater World's sewers is a brown sliding door that is entrance to a manor, where dozens of housemaid will bow down before Soutarou everytime he enters a hallway or a room, except when you've equipped a certain effect. If Soutarou dares wearing the Brass Knuckles before them, they will look down on him, before forcing him to desequip it.
In the room that's home to the Picture Frame effect, using the latter will result in the original frame the be broken as well.
The Manor's Secret
In that same manor, there is a room with a moveable object who's blocking a secret room. At the end of it, there is a view of what could be a bloodied scenery. When quitting this place, Soutarou will first look at that scenery one more time, before coming back to the actual manor.
However, there are odds that, when entering and going at the end of the room, Soutarou will have a pained expression on his face and fall on his knees, before waking up.
Gray Building Shenanigans
From the starting point in the building the Black Stone World's blue blob is teleporting you to, go west, then north. If you try to go into the eastern doorway, it will disappear without warning and something will laugh at you.
You can also go all the way left, then south. In the dead end, there is a hole on the floor ; exiting and entering the room again has a chance to make a big red eyeball appear instead.
(Feigning) Ignorance
Find the large doorway in the grey building. Go upstairs, until you're on the thiird floor - the one after the floating grey teleporter. Attempting to go up again will result in Soutarou immediately go back again, with an uneasy expression on his face.
A similar event happens when you try to open the bloodied dresser in the White Room. The screen will fade to black, preventing you to see what's inside. Although this time, he'll act like there's nothing to note there.
White Building
In the arcade, interact with the machine that has a white screen to trigger a little cutscene, showing what seems to be either a church or an hospital. It won't do anything once it's over, but the next time Soutarou sleeps, another cutscene of that same building will show up, waking him up immediatly.
The Arcade Chaser
In the second room of the same arcade, a blond-haired chaser can be found playing on a arcade machine. Trying to hit him with the Brass Knuckles - or to disturb him with several other effects - will result in him looking at Soutarou menacingly, revealing as well his hostile nature.
Glitching the Dream
- You need the Distort effect to perform this event.
While in the FC World, equip the Distort effect and press the action key. The screen will glitch, while a loud noise plays, before Soutarou wakes up.
Cursed Room
- This is an one-time, forced wake up event.
Enter the Inorganic World and interact with the scarecrow that's somewhere south to the door. Continue until you arrive in a dark-ish area, then find and interact with a bouncing white head. Go west, north and interact with the gray mass, taking you to a building.
Walk left, always north, then enter the first door you'll see. In the next hallway, go into the third room. Search for a box and try to interact with it. Return to the entrance to trigger the event ; the floor starts to get darker, while the door will be locked, preventing you from exiting the room. Several arms then appear, chasing Soutarou. Touching one of them will force him to wake up.
After that, if you try to come back there, Soutarou will automatically refuse to do so.
Sewer Monster
Somewhere in the sewers - that are accessible by going into a hole in one of the prison's cells, a doorway will take you to platform surrounded by waste, where dwells a one-eyed green monster. If you dare interact with him, Soutarou will be submerged by him as soon as he tries to leave, forcing him to wake up.
The little girl in the Streets
By going between the two lampposts in the Case effect's area, you'll find yourself in a backstreet where a blonde little girl can be found. Most of the time, she'll be wandering, although there is a chance to find her sitting. If you re-enter this area again, there are odds that Soutarou will find her unconscious, apparently injured and probably dead - or dying. He'll head towards her and, desperate, finally falls on his knees before waking up.
Note that, when near this girl, Soutarou will refuse to equip any gruesome effects, like Centipede, Brass Knuckles or Case.
Cat Basket Flying Event
- This is a random event that can only be activated with the Black Cat effect.
Go in the Board World, from the door go in right a bit and then all way up until you not find the black enter, in black room go up and interact with a three pillars, find and go between four metal rods or sticks that stand by a two rows, then go up and enter in the building, go all way up through doors or enters, with a upstairs, you must be in a big balcony, if in this building night on this balcony/room must be a creature that looks like a hybrid of a cat and basket, use Black Effect and interact with Basket Cat, you can control a bit Soutarou in form of a Black Cat sitting in Cat Basket's place, Bascat itself flying, on a background of night sky.
Mysterious girl in Gray World
Its something like Poniko/Uboa Event from Yume Nikki, to trigger this event, enter the Door World, find and enter in purple-pink door. Go up to the next area. In Gray World find the cabin/house with a big chair or even throne, enter in house (approximately 52 times) and leave repeatedly until girl that on a second appears the throne still sitting there, in that moment Soutarou can't leave her house since door is be locked, if Soutarou interact with this girl, first of she give him a cute smile, then creepy smile and then Soutarou will wake up.
Eye Box
- You need the Brass Knuckles effect to perform this event.
An event that is working the same way as the Eye Box event from Yume Nikki. Find the box located east on the Monochrome Island, equip the Brass Knuckles and interact with the object. Doing so has a chance to teleport you to a small room. Going into one of the doorways will only lead you to the other one, meaning that this room is a loop - you can verify it by using the Envelope effect. Interacting again with the box will bring you back to the Monochrome Island.
Vending Machine Chaser
- You need the Black Cat effect to access the event's location and less than 100 Yen to trigger it. Also, you won't be able to witness it if you have collected all effects.
Enter the Iron Fence World. Go roughly north-east and interact with the lamp. Go a little south, west, then interact with the black egg. Go south until you see a mass of flesh, west and interact with the window where a green liquid is leaking. If it's the first time reaching this area, you'll need to interact with the rock blocking the path to make Soutarou destroys it.
Continue to walk. When you arrive at the end, make sure that a blond-haired chaser is there ; if he is, try to buy a drink from the vending machine. The chaser will get to it, buy one and give it to you. He will then wink at Soutarou.
Nature of Chasers
Chasers let's call them Shokushu which from Japanese means Tentacles, so in Mikan Muzou Shokushu as chasers very unusual, if Soutarou while he wears a bag on his head attacking calm chaser by a Brass Knuckles effect, Shokushu will die, BUT if Soutarou do same action without bag on his head chaser turn in lunatic/mad form and if he caught Soutarou ofcourse he transports ponytail guy in inescapable area.
Cave Chaser
Enter the Door World. Go left and up, enter the gray door. Head down then right to the Monochrome Island. Go north and enter the building. Go north-west and through the door frame. Go right until you see an NPC in front of the railings. Interact with them.
From where you're teleported, go right and follow the train tracks, there must be a hole in the wall, if Soutarou look through it he see a blonde calm chaser, but if Soutarou look though it again (its kinda random) chaser is gone but he appears behind Soutarou and eat him offscreen and then Soutarou will wake up.
Room of bad memories
Enter the Board World. Go north-west and step between the two plants in front of the board. Go left and interact with the leaf. Go north-east and interact with the jagged blue statue.

Endings Guide
END 1
To get this ending, you must have all effects without dropping them off in the Nexus, waking up, then opening the door. The screen will fade to black slowly, revealing a thank you message.
END 2
To get this ending, you must drop off all efects in the Nexus, wake up, then open the door. Soutarou will stop in place, stumble back from the door and pass out. The screen will fade to the Thank You screen, and will return to the title screen.
END 3
To get this ending, you must drop off all efects in the Nexus and open the white book in Soutarou's dream room. After opening the door, he will back up from the door and head toward his balcony. He will look over his balcony and jump off the broken part of his railing. After hearing him fall and splat on the road, the screen fades in to a bloody Soutarou breathing heavily. The girl sitting in the chair in the Grey World (Accessed from Door World) will approach him. The screen will cut to black, a bang sound heard. The screen fades in, showing Soutarou, sitting up with red and black eyes, over the girl, now knocked out or dead. Soutarou leans toward her, red, hellish-looking vines quickly sprouting out of the street, the Thank You message appearing with a loud noise.
END
To get this ending, you will use the same procedure as END 3, but after opening the book, go to The Field (This is the day/night area located in Forest World) and open the plain white door. When in the None Rooms, mess with the mirror until a new door is shown. Enter the door and interact with the ajar door. A new room will be shown with a book in the center. Open the book, wake up, and interact with the door. The cutscene will act like END 3, up until the girl approaches Soutarou with a spear. She will kill him from off-screen, fading in revealing a gaping cut in his head. The ending music will play, the screen slowly fading to white and going to the title screen without a message.
