Despite having no real plot or structure, Yume Nikki does in fact have an ending scene.
The mere existence of the ending is only alluded to in-game, with the cryptic Instructions saying the player can "get rid of the "Effects" in the Room of Doors", although there is no indication of what the purpose of this is.
At first, the simple act of dropping all the effects in the Nexus appears to have no result, and there is no indication that anything has changed. Only when the player ventures out onto the balcony in the real world does the nature of the ending become apparent.
The Ending Sequence
After collecting all 24 proper effects in the game, Madotsuki must return to the Nexus. The player must then drop every last one of her effects in the Nexus room (done by equipping them and pressing the '5' key). If an effect has been dropped, an egg will appear behind Madotsuki. Interacting with the egg will give Madotsuki the effect it holds. If all of the effects are dropped and the Nexus is reentered after going into a different room, the effect eggs will be arranged in a pattern.
Madotsuki must then leave the dream world by pinching herself awake. Upon going to the real-world room's balcony, a set of stairs has appeared, leading over the railing.
Madotsuki climbs the stairs and, upon pressing the 'interact' button, she jumps off the side of the balcony and plummets downward, causing the screen to fade to black.
A heavy, echoing thud breaks the silence, and a pool of blood fades into view. Two Jellyfish from her dream world approach from different directions and surround the red smear as the credits appear, and the mournful ending theme begins to play. By pressing the '1' key, the lower Jellyfish produces a low chime noise. When the '3' key is pressed, the upper Jellyfish produces a high chime noise. When the 'interact' key is pressed again, the screen will slowly fade to black and the player will return to the title screen.
Trivia
- The same pool of blood can be found in various dream worlds in the game. It appears in front of the Severed Blue Head in Eyeball World and by the Mouth Monsters in Mural World and Underground World.
- The game's ending music resembles the wailing sirens of an ambulance, possibly suggesting one is coming to the scene.
