Yume Nikki:List of Locations

Flowchart of all the locations.

Yume Nikki has many interconnected locations that vary wildly in theme and size. Some locations also house collectible effects and may also contain events. This is a list of all the worlds of Yume Nikki.

The dream world is an intricate labyrinth of openly looping regions and obscure pathways, but features distinct locations that each have a unique identity. Locations wildly range from small linear paths to large mazes that are a challenge to navigate even with a world map.

Real World

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

現実の部屋

The place Madotsuki starts, 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.

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 have floating backgrounds and objects plastered around seemingly randomly. They lead to all of the deeper locations, and contain half of all of the effects.

扉部屋

A hub containing doors leading to the dream version of Madotsuki's Room and the twelve original locations. It is one of the few places to not have any music, making it suspenseful.

森の世界

An eerie forested area filled with clumps of trees. Many ghost-like creatures inhabit the area and the Aztec Rave Monkey can be seen in the world's background. The Frog effect can also be found here.

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. The Hat & Scarf effect lies inside, with a similar hat and scarf being worn by Mafurako, this world's only inhabitant.

水溜りの世界

A dark world filled with puddles reflecting a dark sky, lamp posts that can be turned on and off, and a flight of stairs leading downwards to the Dense Woods A. The Umbrella effect can be found here.

暗闇の世界

A pitch-black world with tribal patterns on the ground. The Knife effect is found here. Creatures known as Pissipissini wander here while a ghost-like entity named Follony may follow Madotsuki.

雪の世界

A snowy world with evergreen trees, igloos, and a bed. One of the igloos contains a portal to the Pink Sea while another has a sleeping girl. A wandering Yuki-onna is found here, which gives Madotsuki the Yuki-onna effect.

壁画の世界

A world filled with large murals depicting strange creatures. A manhole that leads to the Sewers can be found here. Two Mouth Monsters can be found near pools of blood, giving Madotsuki the Long Hair and Blonde Hair effects.

落書きの世界

A colorful world with noisy tiles that form a large mosaic featuring two odd creatures. An elevator to the Mall, a women's restroom, and the Bicycle effect can all be found here, with the latter being directly west of the Nexus door.

目玉の世界

A world filled with grasping arms, gouged eyeballs, and bouncing legs. One of the arms has an eye embedded in its palm, which gives the Medamaude effect upon interaction. A blue head here takes the player to the Footprint Path.

蝋燭の世界

A world filled with many lit candles, some even walking. A dwarf runs across this world, which will reward Madotsuki with the Midget effect if she can catch him. An incredibly fast Toriningen also lives here, able to outspeed Madotsuki easily.

盾民族の世界

The home of the rather lethargic and immobile Shield-Folk, as well as many odd tiles resembling eyes. A spinning Nekoin can be found here, which gives the Cat effect upon finding them. There is also a gate leading to the Static Maze here.

ネオンの世界

A labyrinthine area inhabited by many colorful creatures, making it slightly difficult to navigate. The Neon effect, obtained from the Neon Parrot, can be found here. A doorway to the Neon Tile Path is also found here.

数字の世界

An unsettling area adorned with numbers on the ground and many odd characters. Zippertiles cover the walls, one of which can lead to KyuuKyuu-kun and the FACE event. One room in this world is filled with over one hundred Wheelies.

Deeper Locations

These worlds are accessed from the original locations and have more depth and personality to them, containing more than simple backgrounds and random objects. The remaining half of the effects that the player must get are found within some of these places.

顔絨毯広場

A small area filled with carpets resembling masks. Found in-between a pair of pillars in the Forest World, this area connects to Hell. There is a lunatic Toriningen here.

地獄

A massive, bright red labyrinth with many branching pathways filled with lunatic Toriningen. There are many dead ends and connections to other areas.

白黒世界

The second largest area in the game: a monochrome land notable for its unnerving art style and sheer amount of strange characters and events found within, but not a single effect.

樹海

A rather large area full of trees that connects to various other locations. Rain falls heavily, and a few Jellyfish populate the area. The Stoplight effect can be found here.

樹海の電車

A seemingly normal train car that has a few monsters sitting inside. Sitting on one of the seats for approximately seven seconds leads Madotsuki to the Witch's Island.

樹海の島

A forest beside a lake of some sort. It appears to be windy, as the Nopperabou Witches' dresses wiggle slightly. A long bridge crossing the lake leads to the Witch effect.

ゼンマイ荒野

A vast expanse of curly plants and arid soil, reviled for being difficult to navigate. Many events and the Towel effect hide inside. There is also a giant pyramid with a long staircase.

バラック集落

A small village located past a fence in the Wilderness. It is filled with shacks and telephone poles, and Pirori wander the streets. One shack houses a seahorse head.

ＦＣ世界（右手側）

One of the few FC worlds, accessed after interacting with a random Pirori. The Buyo Buyo effect can be found here, as well as some wandering Lizardmen.

空中庭園

A small park at the top of the Wilderness pyramid. It features a prominent background of a beautiful city night. The Maussan Bros and Organoid can be found here.

コンクリ廃墟

Accessed through the flowery tunnel in the Sky Garden, this bleak, featureless area houses the Triangle Kerchief effect and three floating chromosome-like creatures.

浅瀬

Found through one of the igloos in Snow World, this area houses Poniko in her house. The area is filled with little islands and colored balloons that teleport Madotsuki.

下水道美術館

A gloomy sewer system where the Nopperabou effect and a large creature named Big Red wait. Holes in the wall show images of cartoonish but disturbing entities.

腹の中

An empty, looping area reached via Big Red's gaping maw. There are a few windmills and the Fisherman which leads to the Docks.

湖回廊

This area is divided into two sections, one accessible from Hell, the other from Windmill World. The Fat effect can be found in the former section.

デパート

A slightly gloomy complex, vaguely resembling a shopping mall. Escalators lead to the area's different floors. The Flute effect can be found in one of the rooms.

足跡通路

A dark road marked by white footprints and riddled with the multicolored Henkei Shita and Goppa creatures. It connects Eyeball World to Hell.

タイル通路

A narrow, checkered path with an abstract background. A hard-to-evade lunatic Toriningen patrols the area.

ノイズ部屋

A small, invisible maze that leads to the FC House. Static flashes in the background periodically. A non-maze section of it is accessible before entering FC World A.

ＦＣ小屋

The most easily accessible FC World that resembles the beginning of the game Mother. Inside, the Demon effect is obtained, and there's a long stairway leading to the Goblins.

ネオン通路

A narrow passage of noisy red and purple neon tiles in front of a dark background. It connects Neon World to Hell.

電燈の世界

A moderately-sized world with many lamps. The smallest lamp takes Madotsuki to a sectioned off part of the Checkered Tile Path. The Lamp effect is found here.

A small, looping area that houses the Severed Head effect and numerous lunatic Toriningen. There is also a larger version of this area with eight lunatic Toriningen chasing after you.

A much smaller and linear version of Hell, resembling a crossroad with closets on each end. In the very middle is Madotsuki's Ghost, who is a minor source of speculation by fans.

ブロック大空洞

A large area full of floating platforms with interconnecting teleporters, the Teleport Maze can be accessed via the Dense Woods B. Completing the maze takes Madotsuki to FC World A.

ＦＣ世界（小大陸側）

This FC World is a little less open-ended, with a smaller overworld section. After crossing a tiny bridge, Madotsuki is taken to a small castle with an entrance to the FC Dungeon.

ＦＣ地下遺跡

This giant maze is very dark, requiring the Lamp effect. The walls are decorated with odd-looking faces. The Famicom Glitch event can be found here.

ベッドの中の階段

A diagonal staircase found by sleeping in one of five random beds in the dream world. Going downstairs will lead to a corridor with an elevator and a large fire.

倉庫

An obscure area accessed through Staircase of Hands by using the Umbrella or Yuki-onna effects on the flames that block your path. The Poop Hair effect is found here.

宇宙船

A monochrome spaceship, complete with an organ and a nice view of space. It is owned by an alien known as Seccom Masada-sensei by fans. There is also a bed here.

火星

A rocky wasteland reached after the Spaceship has crashed. There is a steaming vent on top of a summit, accessible by using the Midget effect to go inside.

These are the only locations that are inaccessible to the player without some means of hacking, although FC World C was planned to be a full location according to an unused event dubbed NASU Link in version 0.09.

ＦＣ世界

A fairly large portion of the main FC overworld map that goes completely unused. There even exists another small map that could connect to here.
