"Yume Nikki" means "Dream Diary" in Japanese, and the game follows a young girl named Madotsuki as she dreams. The goal is to seek out and acquire all 24 'Effects'.

Any.One Online is an English Yume Nikki fangame developed as an entry for Dream Diary Jam 6. The goal of the game is to explore and collect Costumes. There are also tokens that can be found throughout the virtual world. When you were still in high school, the only social MMO you ever consistently played was Any.One Online. With new virtual reality tech and user-created worlds, you and your friends used to spend hours exploring, dressing up your avatars, and meeting new people in the strange digital environment. But that was years ago: even though the servers are still running, Any.One Online is practically a virtual ghost town. For nostalgia's sake, however, you decide to log back in. What you find is a surreal landscape only barely related to what you remember, a decade’s worth of unsupported code, scattered costumes, and the looming feeling that something's not right…

Expiate follows the dreams of Corbin, who accesses his subconscious by dozing off to the static sound and visuals of his television screen. It gets predictably surreal from there. You can choose to lead him to the darkest pits of his mind... or just break a bunch of stuff with a metal baseball bat. Either way, something or someone's gonna get beaten up. Expiate is a mostly traditional Yume Nikki fangame, with some slight alterations to the formula. Effects are a part of the game, but collecting them is not your main focus. Instead, use effects and explore to look for strange objects located around the dreamworld. Gather these items in order to progress.
