Overview
Mugamuchuu (夢我夢中, ムガムチュウ, Our Crazy Dream / Our Engrossing Dream) is a Yume Nikki Fangame made by Machikado no Michi (街角の道) and Haru (はる). Mugamuchuu is traditional in nature, seemingly inspired more by Yume Nikki than by fellow fangames (If not with some resemblance to Yume Graffiti (ユメ-グラフィティ)).
A test version of Mugamuchuu v0.003 with an alternative pre-triggered ending can be found in the Movie folder in later versions of the game.
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.
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 later gaining 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.
