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 also 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 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).

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

The place Madotsuki starts in, both in the real world and the dream world. In the real world 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 random objects plastered around. They lead to all of the deeper locations, and contain half of all of the effects.
