Yume Nikki:List of Locations

Flowchart of all the locations

Yume Nikki has many interconnected locations that vary wildly in theme and size. They house the 24 effects and may also contain events.

The dream world is an intricate labyrinth of openly looping regions and obscure pathways, but most regions of the game can be considered as part of an individual 'world' with connections to other sections and worlds. This is a list of all the central worlds of Yume Nikki.

Note: In this wiki, the commonly-accepted fan names are used so that they are easier to find, although each area has an official name that is also listed on their respective pages (which are the map names when viewing the game in RPG Maker, many of which are generic).

The Real World

The only location in the game that actually exists, though a dream version of it is present as well.

[[Yume Nikki:Madotsuki's Room|Madotsuki's Room]]

Madotsuki's Room

現実の部屋

The place Madotsuki starts in, both in the real world and the dream world. In the real world she can't leave her room, but she can play NASU and save the game, while the dream version leads to the Nexus.

The Original Locations

These are the places in the dream world that are accessible to the player from the very start of the dream, most of which having static, floating backgrounds and objects plastered around seemingly randomly. They lead to all of the deeper locations, and contain half of all of the effects.

[[Yume Nikki:The Nexus|The Nexus]] The Nexus 扉部屋 A hub with a Paracas-like pattern containing doors leading to the dream version of Madotsuki's Room and the 12 original locations. It is one of the few places in the game to not have any music, making it suspenseful.	[[Yume Nikki:Forest World|Forest World]] Forest World 森の世界 A forested area that contains the Frog effect and odd creatures that can be interacted with. There is a gate near the center of the map that leads to the Face Carpet Plaza and the Aztec Rave Monkey is seen in the background.	[[Yume Nikki:Block World|Block World]] Block World ブロックの世界 A world full of blocks of varying shapes and sizes with an isometric perspective, almost like a maze.

[[Yume Nikki:Puddle World|Puddle World]] Puddle World 水溜りの世界 A dark, unremarkable world filled with puddles reflecting a dark sky, lamp posts, and a flight of stairs leading downwards to the Dense Woods.

[[Yume Nikki:Neon World|Neon World]] Neon World ネオンの世界 A labyrinthine area inhabited by many colorful creatures, making it slightly difficult to navigate and easy to get lost.

A Zippertile leads to Guillotine World, KyuuKyuu-kun, and the FACE event, and a door leads to Lamp World. The music creates a dramatic feel with many chiming bells.

Deeper Locations

These worlds are accessed from the original locations and have more depth and personality than them, as most of them do not contain simple looking backgrounds. The remaining half of the effects that the player must get are found within some of these places.
