Returning Nightmares is an exploration adventure-horror game being developed in RPG Maker 2003, inspired by Yume Nikki and it’s multiple fan-made homages (but with dialogue & easier to navigate maps). You play as Akira, a young man locked up in his own bedroom, exploring his dreams to remember the events that lead him to where he is now. But some things are better left alone…
Demo features include:
- Over 20 areas to explore!
- 12 Memories to collect
- 13 Events to see
- NPCs with changing dialogue
- Custom Graphics
- Very light puzzle elements
It’s a partially silly, partially serious game, so there is blood, gore, death, & suicide mentions for those sensitive to it. Depending on how fast you are at finding things, the demo can take anywhere from 1-2 hours to finish. You should not need to download the RTP to play this game, but if you do, you can get it here from the official site.
Huge shout-out to @pancakeproductions, @hogwashdev, @clockworkprincedev, @cachicordova, blankface, @nyrator, @choko-flan, @thislostrose, @laytonloztew, & @pakilusin for testing this for me, and thanks to the Pixel Horror & Dream Diary Development Discords for being good help and support!
