Kikiyama

Software House

Pseudonymous Japanese indie game developer, creator of the freeware RPG Maker 2003 game Yume Nikki.

Creator of Yume Nikki (developed with RPG Maker 2003). Yume Nikki is freeware, features protagonist Madotsuki, collectible 24 "effects", dream worlds connected via the Nexus, and cult events such as the Uboa encounter. Kikiyama is described as elusive/pseudonymous.

Yume Nikki is presented as a surreal, exploration-driven 'non-game' built with RPG Maker 2003. The player controls Madotsuki and collects 24 'effects' across dreamlike worlds. The atmosphere is melancholic, occasionally frightening (notable event: Uboa). The game is freeware and intentionally opaque, spawning many fan theories.

For:Fans of surreal, experimental indie games and exploration-focused, atmospheric experiences

 Surreal. Really, in every sense of the word, there is no other term that can more appropriately account for the essence of "Yume Nikki" ("dream diary" in Japanese).
