Overview
De I Cide is a traditional Yume Nikki fangame made by Saki-Izuriha (出灰サキ) (Pixiv), who also made an English version of it, but almost immediately deleted it. This game features mostly dark and disturbing themes and has a rather unusual for a Yume Nikki fangame soundtrack, which consists of metal and trance tracks in contrast to calm piano music. It stars a girl with messy hair named Inahohzuki (否鬼灯) who, most likely, is insane.
Gameplay
Like in most traditional fangames, your objective is exploring dream worlds and collecting effects. Plus there are three different endings to reach. You enter Inahohzuki's dreams through her bed, save at the notebook on her desk. In the latest version the option to save at any point of the game was added due to unpredictable game freeze bugs.
A curious fact about this game is that it has the least malicious-looking chasers. Though they still run fast after you and trap you in a sectioned-off area. There also is a frequently recurring character - dark figure with a golden padlock - who won't let you pass through to some areas.
Inahohzuki's Dream Room has a music player with the game's soundtrack, though you must unlock most of the songs first to be able to play them. It also has a mini-game where you control a rapid figure that has to smash normal mushrooms avoiding the colorful moving "chaser" mushrooms. The most noticeable thing in her dream room is a round floating platform which moves by itself. This isn't an effect, it rather serves as an alternative to riding a chair while in dream.
Plot
You start off as Inahohzuki, who is, according to her description is a Psychopath, or a demon child (あくまのこ) in the Japanese version. Not only she refuses to leave her room, she won't even go out to her balcony. Her "normal" room is messy and bloody, in contrast to that, her dream room looks cute and cozy. Because Inahohzuki is blonde, this may (or may not) reference Poniko and the Uboa event in Yume Nikki.
