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. "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'. The game otherwise has no plot, and nearly the entire game is left up to speculation.

A visceral body horror Yume Nikki fan game that ceased development in 2018. Fleshchild is a semi-episodic exploration/adventure game, similar to and inspired by Yume Nikki. You follow a baby eldritch abomination-type entity named Vis as it "grows up" at the behest of its parent, a giant red eyeball who lives in a sewer. The game has two main segments: Reality, and Dreaming. Reality: Vis explores sections of Ashvale city to find whatever body parts its parent requests for the night. Gameplay in reality involves exploration, item collection, solving simple puzzles, and maybe killing people for body parts. Vis can get advice from its fellows in the sewer, alongside Visybil, who can provide more information on the objective and plot. Dreaming: Vis explores their dreams as they sleep during the day. Gameplay in dreams involves exploration and item collection, and later on will include puzzles. The dreams end abruptly and without warning, so thoroughly exploring one THEMED location (such as the entirety of a hospital) before moving to the next will reward Vis with the best experience each dream has to offer.

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.

The story begins on a fateful night when the evil Dahiana has already conquered the world, imprisoning people in dungeons scattered across the globe. Among the captives is Claudia, who is eventually rescued by a brave young man named Enrique. After failing to contact her family, Claudia sets out on a journey to find out what happened and rescue those in need. Despite her scattered and clumsy nature, Claudia's strong and determined personality leads her into a massive adventure. Alongside new friends like Neison, Meilin, and Mimi, she will fight to save not only the world but perhaps the entire universe, the heavens, and every known dimension.

Developed by Tatis Sama Games, Dahiana (G) represents an alternative dimension to Dahiana (V) (created by VidaVirix).
