Overview
Broken Bottles is a Yume Nikki fangame created by a user called "Doodle" (tumblr deviantart pixiv accounts). You play as a young girl named Dokutsuki, who explores her subconscious by means of a chemistry set. The artistic motif is, as would be deduced, glass and bottles in various forms: maps, doorways, effects, etc. (chemical tubes could also be seen as "bottles"). It follow's Nikki's premise somewhat faithfully:
"It holds the same main idea as Yume Nikki, you explore a girl's subconscious by falling into an induced sleep and you find what may lie in her mind. You start out in a corridor of doors, pick the one you want to start in while you explore. The effects change what the character looks like and sometimes their abilities. If you equip the same effect twice, you will return to your normal self. Just wander around and enjoy." Taken from the games official site.
The game seems to be fairly well-received.
Gameplay
Broken Bottles plays like most Yume Nikki fangames, with the main goal being collecting effects and exploration. Something a bit different is the inclusion of dialouge and items that must be used to solve certain puzzles or access new areas. The atmosphere is hard to decifer but seems to be dark, but not as dark as .flow or Me , but more of a Yume Graffiti feel. Some possible motifs/themes are science, glass, drugs and their side effects, ect.
There is a walkthrough on this wiki here .
Plot
Not much is known about the plot so far, but it has been assumed that Someone in Dokutsuki's family (Possibly her father due to the writting of "Dad..." in the writing/face world) has abused or hurt Dokitsuki in some way. The residents of her dream world seem to have their own problems which could be her subconcious memories. (An NPC mentioned her forgetting about him.)
