Ultra Violet is another Yume Nikki fan-game; produced by gozo-ropp (Pixiv)
It revolves around a young girl known as Sometsuki who explores her dreams while sleeping, she also appears to be a sleep-walker. Like many other protagonists, attempting to leave her room just results of a quick shake of the head and some sounds.
It is currently at version 0.03 with a total of 14 effects and no ending as of yet.
Gameplay
Ultra Violet follows the traditional gameplay of exploration and collecting effects, but it quickly caught people's attention with the excellent graphics and worlds.
The game is light and refreshing compared to many other fangames. Most parts of the game are soft and cute, but there are some areas that are deeply unsettling too, a great balance that is hard to acheve with games, but Ultra Violet is a sucess.
Ultra Violet suffered from a few areas that are a little too Yume Nikki-like, but it had been praised for innovative worlds, puzzles,details and effects.
Additional menu skins can be obtained in-game by various items/objects in her dream world and changed at her computer.
- Violet- Default menu
- Silver- Another starting menu on the computer.
- Monochrome- Another starting menu from the computer.
- Old black- Found in the 8bit world in the rabbit school in a chest.
- Orange- Found by talking to the NPC in the Snow World with blond hair in twintails and an orange and silver striped scarf.
Like Yume Nikki, in the dream world, sitting on Sometsuki's rolling chair and pressing the interact key while sitting facing the computer will alow you to move about in her chair! Unlike Yume Nikki, the chair does not reduce your speed at all, but you are unable to use effects until you return the chair.
Effects
- Rabbit- Sometsuki grows rabbit ears and a tail. Pressing SHIFT turns Sometsuki into a rabbit and increases her speed!
- Headless- Sometsuki's head is chopped off, leaving her with a bloody neck. Waking up makes her pinch her neck instead of her cheeks.
- Witch- Sometsuki wears a witch's robe and her hair becomes two braids. Pressing SHIFT lets her ride her broomstick which increases her speed!
- Lampost- Sometsuki's head becomes a lampost head. Pressing SHIFT switchs the light on to a soft green-blue, and other lamposts that are off will switch on.
- Hammer- Somestuki's weapon.
- Cake- Sometsuki becomes a walking slice of strawbery shortcake.
- Winter Coat- Sometsuki bundles up in a brown winter coat.
- Short Hair-Sometuski's hair is shorter.
- Egg- Sometsuki becomes a walking egg, with only her face peeking though a cracked face in the middle.

Technical Difficulties
There is a known issue where downloading the game under the English locale will cause all of the files to be improperly named, resulting in the game being completely unplayable. To mitigate this issue, potential players must first set their locale to japanese (not through applocale, but through the Windows Control Panel) and then download and run the game.
