Overview
Dream Graffiti or Yume Graffiti (ユメ-グラフィティ) is a Yume Nikki fangame produced by Oudn (Blog, Pixiv, Twitter).
As of now, it's currently in version 0.035. The game features a girl named Yomika, who lives in a treehouse.
She is presumably a hikikomori, as she refuses to leave her room (from the front door, anyway). There's also a ladder that leads to a sealed off area underground with crystals.
Gameplay
In Yomika's room there is a bookshelf with only two books, one being blue and the other, green. The blue book gives access to a sound test. As you progress through the game, you can unlock more music on the sound test screen. The green book brings up the save menu.
By interacting with the pile of grass on the floor, Yomika will fall asleep and enter the dream world. In the dream world, she can find and obtain Effects that will allow her access to other areas or trigger certain Events. She can wake up anytime by pinching her cheek.
Plot
Considering her living conditions, this game most likely takes place at an earlier point in time as opposed to the modern rooms of the other fangames. Yomika herself seems to be in a sort of leaf skirt.
The game's motif appears to be mainly nature-based, with most of the Effects being traditional Japanese demons/outfits/creatures.
Yomika seems to be by herself in her treehouse, possibly because she lives in a forest isolating her from the rest of the world. She cannot leave due to the forest overgrowth, or that it is too dangerous to go outside.
Effects
Dream Graffiti currently has 20 Effects (as of version 0.035).
| Name | Image | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 'Kingfisher '(かわせみ) | 
|
This Effect turns Yomika into a Kingfisher bird, doubling her movement speed. Pressing SHIFT makes her hop, chirp and flap her wings. |
| 'Lantern/Ground Cherry '(ほおずき) | 
|
Yomika carries around an orange lantern shaped like a big ground cherry. The lantern can be used to light up dark areas. Pressing SHIFT makes Yomika raise the lantern and it glows for a second before turning on. Pressing SHIFT again will turn it off. |
| Erhu (にこ) | 
|
Yomika carries around an Erhu (southern fiddle). Pressing SHIFT will cause two music notes to pop up, and Yomika will play a few notes on her Erhu. |
| Dragon (りゅう) | 
|
Yomika carries a cyan orb found in the dragon's belly. Pressing SHIFT makes Yomika raise the orb and her eye glows cyan while the orb glows. It will then start to rain, or you can make it stop raining by pressing SHIFT again. |
| 'Long Hair/Hair '(かみ) | 
|
The game's weapon Effect. Yomika's hair becomes extremely long and it covers both of her eyes. Interacting with NPCs causes it to lash out and cut them, wounding or killing them. It can also be used to open blocked passages to other areas. Pressing SHIFT will make the hair "clap" its edges with a loud sound, the same way it does when interacting with NPCs. |
| 'Kuroko/'Stagehands Outfit (くろこ) | 
|
Yomika dawns a black outfit that is worn by stagehands in traditional Japanese theater. Pressing SHIFT makes her pull the black veil off her face for a brief moment. |
| Sand (すな) | 
|
Yomika is made of sand. Pressing SHIFT makes her sink until there's only her head left, halving her movement speed. Pressing SHIFT again will make her return to her previous state. |
| Bug (むし) | 
|
Yomika is now more bug-like. Pressing SHIFT makes her turn into a bug. In this form Yomika can pass through small passages. |
| 'Kitsune/'Fox (きつね) | 
|
Yomika's hair turns snow-white and has fox ears. Pressing SHIFT makes it snow or stop snowing. |
| 'Sea Turtle '(かめ) | 
|
This Effect turns Yomika into a sea turtle, halving her movement speed. When this effect is used underwater, it doubles Yomika's speed. Pressing SHIFT will make her head pop off then roll back to its original place. |
| 'Parasite '(きせい) | 
|
Some sort of parasite wraps around Yomika's head, and a large eye rests on her hair. Pressing SHIFT makes the eye stretch out a bit and wiggle from side to side, with Yomika's arms raise slightly while the eye wiggles. |
| Mask (かめん) | 
|
Yomika wears a gray mask. Pressing SHIFT makes her transparent, causing chasers to run away from her. |
| Tengu (てんぐ) | 
|
Yomika turns into a Tengu (a yokai). Pressing SHIFT will either make her fly or walk. When floating, she is able to fly off certain edges. |
| Halo/Angel Hoop (わっか) | 
|
Yomika wears a multicolored halo on her back, and she becomes a whitish color. Every step you take changes the color of the halo parts. Pressing SHIFT makes her raise her arms and she strums the halo on her back, which plays a few notes and bounces a bit. |
| 'Eye/Ocellus '(かため) | 
|
This Effect reveals Yomika's other eye. Pressing SHIFT makes her open the eye and makes her return to the Nexus. |
| Ghost Fire/Soul (ひとだま) | 
|
Yomika becomes a Hitodama (human soul). In this form, she looks like a small floating head shaped a bit like a flame and has a glowing cyan-colored eye. Pressing SHIFT will make her turn into a light blue fire ball for a split second. |
| Pillar (はしら) | 
|
Yomika becomes a thick, grayish pillar. When equipping this Effect, Yomika can't move or interact with anything. Moving or trying to interact with anything will make her de-equip the Effect. Pressing SHIFT will make her melt completely, then regain her previous form. |
| Oni (おに) | 
|
Yomika becomes an Oni (demon). In this form, she has red eyes and hair, and a white horn sticking out of her head. Pressing SHIFT will make her raise her arms and cause the black stain on her body/shirt crawl onto her face for a split second. |
| Spider (くも) | 
|
Yomika turns into a small spider. Pressing SHIFT will make her project a spider web string out of her mouth. |
| 'Mold/Mildew '(かび) | 
|
Yomika turns into mildew. Pressing SHIFT will make her melt and have bubbles flying around her, then regain her previous form. |
