Overview

Parade (パレード) is a Japanese Yume Nikki fangame made by GIOGIO (祇園) in RPG Maker 2000. This game has been discontinued at version 0.07.

Gameplay

Parade is a traditional fangame. At the beginning of the game the player is given the option to play as either Reika (れいか) or Iwakutsuki (いわくつき). Both of them share the Yume Nikki "syndrome" - they either refuse to leave their rooms or are stuck inside of them. Trying to open the door just results in a locked door sound. Therefore, the only thing both of them can do is dream.

The goal of the game is to explore and collect effects. There are multiple endings for both characters. The dream world is entered through the bed and saving is done at the desk.

Controls

Move - Arrow Keys
Interact - Z/Space
Open Menu - X/Esc

Plot

Whilst Reika is described as a person with Myopia (nearsightedness), Iwakutsuki is described as a "Madman" (Un matto). When Iwakutsuki pinches herself to wake up from the dream, she has a tear in her eye.

The reason for this game having two protagonists and the relation between them is revealed later in the game and is highly hinted at in the endings.
