Nepheshel is an influential indie Japanese RPG developed by the doujin circle Studio Til with the RPG Maker 2000 software. The game was initially released on June 2rd, 2002. It received an English fantranslation by RPGMaker.net user Vittone on October 15th, 2022, more than twenty years later. Set on the isolated Confined Isle, the protagonist awakes without memories after washing ashore from the ocean. The island is said to be cursed so that everyone who sets foot on it loses all their memories. The game has the player exploring a series of interconnected dungeons in order to uncover the mysteries of the isle. Dungeons are intricate, full of traps and difficult battles. There are no random encounters, and every enemy icon on the map is colored according to the expected difficulty of the battle, so players can choose to try to sneak past dangerous enemies. The exploration is open-ended, with the player being free from the beginning to explore the island without hardly any obstacles except the perils of the dungeons themselves.

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.
