Yume Nikki/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Ascended Fanon: It's minor, but the official iTunes soundtrack refers to the girl that turns into Uboa as "Ponico", a romanization of her long-standing Fan Nickname (Uboa remains unnamed, however).
  • Defictionalization: Recreations of the NASU minigame are available on Kongregate, iOS and Android.
  • Fan Nickname: All of the area names are unofficial, as are all the character names except for Madotsuki (who's named in the menus), although various characters' nicknames (such as Monoko and Monoe) are derived from their internal files.
  • Follow the Leader: An astonishing number of people with time on their hands have taken to making fan games of Yume Nikki. The examples in Fan Sequel are only a few of the more well-known ones.
  • Reclusive Artist: Kikiyama, the game's creator. We aren't even sure of his/her gender.
  • Urban Legend of Zelda: Several earlier versions of the game were said to have been released or published in Japanese gaming magazines with demo discs long before the full game was released. So far, only versions .04, .06 and .09 have been found and dumped to the internet for anyone to download.
