Overview
Dream Game is a Rōblox exploration and adventure game created by Augusto (VerticalAscent), based on Yume Nikki. It involves the player trying to unravel the mystery of the dream world known as the Dreamsphere, and the main character Nashatra's intentions on this journey as she goes expanding her possible interactions in the locations with the tools she obtains.
Gameplay
Dream Game can be played in either a private server or in multiplayer. The amount of dreams to explore may seem scarce in number, but each dream is large and expansive with many details and content. In multiplayer the game will start a vote whenever someone wishes to proceed to the next dream. Some features are exclusive to private servers, so it's recommended to play the game through them. There are various events that can occur during gameplay, some random and some requiring specific methods of activation. Badges can also be collected by the player by achieving certain goals in the game.
Orbs can be found and interacted with throughout the 7 Surface Dreams that allow you to pass data onto the 12th House, which will bring you to a Depth Dream (inaccessible otherwise) upon your next sleep. There is no main nexus; to visit various dreams you must wake up and sleep in your bed again (where a new dream will be randomly chosen). Specific surface dreams can be visited by inputting a code in the Waking World.
Some characters and creatures can be found inside the various dreams. A portion of these characters have their own conversations with the player, and some creatures can be caught with a net. There are also different shops scattered around the Dreamsphere where many of the effects and items can be purchased. Chasers appear in some levels as well as other hostile characters (including the Mafia). A boss fight is also present.

Plot
The game follows the 9th century life of Nashatra Bealdhild and her occupation of the 12th House on Windy Island (in an alternate universe to ours). A war is ongoing during the events of the game between The Fissure Empire and the Causer Corps. Notably, Nashatra is not a Hikikomori and can leave her house, although she is isolated on the island in the Waking World.
The game focuses on investigating various philosophical topics and questions, primarily one's connection with the inexplicable space of the unknown, or, the exploration of the outside of their known space. This realm is where they must estimate and theorize more than they can simply understand, and where everything appears mystic, vague, and unattainable. This open system where multiple unknown influences play factors in what they are subjected to is explored in the game alongside how these factors determine them, and their gradually building need to be known.
Not much is known about the 6 endings of the game as exploration of this game is still on-going and since the game is played online (and therefore cannot be downloaded/inspected) there isn't a way to view the endings or other parts of the game via non-legitimate methods.
