Yume Nikki is a 32-Bit freeware game created by Kikiyama, a Japanese solo game designer. The game was made using RPGMaker 2003. The game is regarded as one of the most original applications of RPGMaker 2003, and the start of a possible new genre of games.

Suzy and freedom is a short adventure game made for RMN’s 2013 All Hallows’ Eve Event. Theme: Non-fiction horror. It is inspired by a real life crime that happened in Brazil. On October 31st 2002, a couple was found dead in their bed. What first appeared to be a burglary followed by murder left too many unusual traces, and the police soon figured that whoever did it was probably someone familiar with that house. Less than a week of investigation revealed that the murder was planned by the couple’s own daughter, with the help of her boyfriend and his brother. The game tries to reenact this story from the perspective of various characters involved. Each scene is focused on a different character, and uses a different style of gameplay to represent his motivations and goals. Suzy and freedom is NOT, however, an attempt to recreate the original story in a completely faithful and exact fashion.
