Overview

Yume Aruki (ゆめあるき) (lit. Dream Walk or Dream Walking) is a Japanese Yume Nikki fangame made by UWONOZOKI (うをのぞき) in RPG Maker 2000.

The game draws heavily on animal, tropical, and desert imagery, and features fifteen collectable effects, not including instructions.

Gameplay

Though Yume Aruki does not yet have an ending, the play style and mechanics are largely similar to that of Yume Nikki, including the ability to drop effects in the Nexus. There's a combination of wide open, repeating worlds and non-looping corridors the player must navigate to find hidden effects. As of version 0.00, a few areas are coned off for future completion and there are at least 4 effects which can't yet be obtained.

Notably absent from this fangame are aggressive NPCs, extensive events, and the horror overtones from both Yume Nikki and its many fangames. However, the world remains expansive in a manner reminiscent of Yume Nisshi. Most of the effects are clothing-based wearables, as opposed to surrealist body alterations.

The player can buy soft drinks from a number of vending machines around the dream world and change the menu via the bookshelf in the bedroom. The player goes to bed to dream and saves at the desk.
