So after installing the English RTPs, which solved some of my issues, I'm still running into one more issue with DE i CIDE where panoramas in some areas don't load, resulting in a "Image Not Found: Panorama" error. Do I have to download the Japanese RTPs now? If I change my system locale to Japanese to install them, then change it back to English, will this break the installation?

I know .flow and 2kki are ones that are suggested a lot, but are there others that are particularly worth trying out? I've only ever played the original game with the fan translation that was around in 2009.

An eye for an eye... and some such.
This is the "warp back to the Nexus" effect for this game. Except much like other things in this game, it involves a dramatic animation where Inahoozuki floats up into the air and teleports in a flash of lightning.

Anon07/17/26, 03:25No.2729903
It's a Yume Nikki-like staple; the big fuck-you maze, chasers optional. In other words, this is the Hell equivalent, and oh look there's a portal to the Dark World there.

A
Anon07/17/26, 03:31No.2729923
Super Hell, complete with eye-searing hues of red. Oh, and some badass metal theme music, too bad about the lack of a proper loop, though.
I don't know what those jellyfish creatures do, and I don't think I want to find out.

Oh boy, another shadow girl. The last time I interacted with a faceless girl who looked like me, I got locked in jail. Well that's all water under the bridge now, isn't it?

Found a portal back to the Light World, killed another Lock Girl, and somehow found my way to this back alley area that connects to the bloody out-of-breath zombie world.
I thought I explored that world thoroughly and didn't see anything except the Russian Roulette. Maybe this was just one way. Or maybe I just missed it like I missed that bookshelf in Space World.

I went back to this world on a whim... and suddenly my ears are graced with a metal soundtrack that wasn't there before. It seems I had more problems than just panoramas and effects that I didn't know about. I did think it was awfully strange that this area just had no music the last time I came here. Now I know why the NPCs here are headbanging.

Anon07/17/26, 06:01No.2730259
I used that helpful Eye effect to transport to the Dark Nexus from the first available portal.
I notice that there's one less door in the Dark Nexus than the "normal" Nexus, and it's the one that leads to the bloody breathing zombie world. I can only imagine how deranged that one will be in the Dark World.
Anyway, the Dark version of the Angel Statue Park is filled with gargoyle statues instead and a dissonant, deranged piano soundtrack.

Anon07/17/26, 06:06No.2730270
I forgot to mention that before I teleported, I picked up another effect in the Dark version of the area I was in.
Glasses. Just peachy. And when you put them on the screen starts shaking. Either they don't fit her or she doesn't need glasses to begin with.

A
Anon07/17/26, 06:08No.2730276
Moving through this area was a pain much like it was the last time. You have to find the statue that teleports you into the water, then move through the water until you find another statue that teleports you back on land. The area itself is huge.

Back at this church again. Last time here I got the Angel effect. I can hazard a guess what I'm going to get this time.

Anon07/17/26, 06:50No.2730338
It's fairly interesting seeing the dichotomy presented here. This guy on the other side of the mirror, he's the other protagonist of this game. You can switch to him via an NPC in Inahoozuki's Dream Room. The developer recommends completing Inahoozuki's story and getting her ending(s) first, though.

A
Anon07/17/26, 10:47No.2730558
I remember someone in the last thread talking about how Urotsuki's chainsaw and Sabitsuki's iron pipe got powercreeped by Inahoozuki's Angel lightning.
Well, guess what? It gets worse. Once you get both the Angel and Devil effects, if you equip them one after the other, they'll "combine" to make Inahoozuki into this monstrosity whose effect is an AOE nuke that clears the entire room of NPCs at once, INCLUDING CHASERS! The only limitations it seems to have is that Inahoozuki moves really slowly when it's equipped and that it doesn't affect the Lock Girls, presumably so it's not too easy to get them. But still, what other Yume Nikki fangame MC has a fucking magic screen nuke?
Also, if anyone cares, I made a thread for Yume Nikki and associated games over on Infinitychan.

Once I went back to the Nexus, this music box just appeared out of nowhere and gave me an effect. An incredibly useful one at that, as it lets me move between the Light and Dark dream worlds at will without needing a portal. There was that one area that the Dark Nexus was specifically missing a door for. Oh boy, can't wait to check out the dark version of THAT area.

A
Anon07/17/26, 11:01No.2730580
Maybe it's not QUITE as bad as I was expecting it to be, but still, it's quite unsettling. The pitch black void, the blood and corpses everywhere, many of which look like they were crucified, the complete lack of NPCs in this version, the "music" that sounds like the growling of a ghoul, and to top it off, the random bloody handprint that jumps at you from time to time with the "ehehehehe" laugh is now an outright screamer. So if you don't like screamers, don't linger in this area for too long. There is one effect here and an entrance to Super Hell and that's it.

A
Anon07/17/26, 11:04No.2730588
That one effect? Surely this will be useful as a reward for braving this nightmarish area... oh. It's just sticking a fat metal object in my head. The worst part is that she loves it.

A
Anon07/17/26, 11:28No.2730629
That same bookshelf was in the Dark version of Space World, aka Blood Moon world. It lead to a darker version of the Square Enix RPG passage and then this area, where I'm face to face with yet another doppelganger of myself, this time wearing the Angel+Demon effects. Oh boy.

At last, the door is open. Everything is about to end.
But first, a quick recap of how we got here.

A
Anon07/18/26, 12:13No.2734021
I found myself back in the Hospital/Art Alley, or whatever it is, from Hell down there. I saw this staircase the first time I was here, but didn't know how to get to it. Turns out there's a hidden passage behind the bed in the next room over.
I checked out the Dark Hospital area (aka the Jail) again just to make sure there was nothing I missed, and evidently the only thing of note there is the faceless Inahoozuki clone event who locks you in that cell. If you back in, the door just locks behind you immediately, trapping you again. There was also a lever that I pulled but never figured out what it did.

A
Anon07/18/26, 12:16No.2734026
Ah, the dark version of Heavy Metal world. Still the same banging soundtrack, just downtuned significantly, it seems. No room with an effect here this time, just an entrance to the path of musical notes. Also, all the speakers leak blood for some reason. How do they work, then? Satanic ritual magic?

A
Anon07/18/26, 12:19No.2734028
This is an area I've never been to before. It looks like a path of sound mix meters. Fairly straightforward path, just keep going down between the gaps. Not so much for the Light World version which I will get to.

A
Anon07/18/26, 12:26No.2734036
I got blocked off by a shade girl in the dark version of this path. Protip; when you see the shadow of a girl in either the Light or Dark worlds, it means it's a Lock Girl who's on the other version of the area. Good thing I had the Music Box effect to switch at will. So I did that and zapped this bitch out of the way, only to find a dead end. It's that tiny hole I might have mentioned earlier which requires an effect to shrink me to go through. So I backtracked and the way back to the Music Meter path is blocked by an effect box. It's... Argon gas. Yes, it literally turns Inahoozuki into gas. She becomes invisible, and the only way to check her position is to press the effect button which makes a question mark pop up over her to indicate her position. Completely useless.

A
Anon07/18/26, 12:31No.2734042
Okay, so the path forward leads to a dead end. Let's try the Dark World version, then. ...And it leads to another effect box roadblock. Oooh boy, I can sprout flowers out of my head like I got hit with a Lip Stick in Smash Bros now.

A
Anon07/18/26, 12:35No.2734054
The Light World version of the Music Mixer path is a teleport maze. I hate teleport mazes. Good thing I can basically skip it by switching to the Dark World version with the Music Box and just walking down to the end then switching back.
This area connects to the Music Note path and then to Heavy Metal world. I found the Music Note path before, but instead of going forward, I went up and got the event where I got stabbed by Ginmokusei.

A
Anon07/18/26, 12:40No.2734069
The reward at the end of the Music Mixer path is DE i CIDE's version of the Bike effect, the Chariot. It doesn't just make you faster, you can hit the effect button to bring up a menu to choose your speed from three different speed levels. The highest level is RIDICULOUSLY fast, like almost Shinsoku Kaibutsu fast. A shame I didn't get this earlier, really could have used it the entire rest of the game. Oh well, the built-in fast forward button is a good enough substitute.

A
Anon07/18/26, 12:44No.2734074
You can use the Music Box to switch to the Dark World version of Music Mixer path, then switch back to the light version in the open area here to access an area that can't be accessed otherwise as it's blocked off by the Teleporter at the entrance. There appears to be music notes arranged in the shape of text here. I'll post a series of screenshots I took of them if anyone can find out what it says.

I think this is the last major world I haven't explored, the dark version of the Art Gallery. Instead of regular knight statues, now it's eviler-looking black knight statues and the "eyes" of the gallery now drip more blood. But all in all, not as much of a change as you might expect.

A
Anon07/18/26, 12:57No.2734098
It sure would have been nice if I had this EARLIER! Stupid fucking cat.
The lock shade here is blocking a path to a Dark/Light portal. I don't know how I missed that the last time I went through here.

A
Anon07/18/26, 13:00No.2734106
The doorway to the Snow area doesn't exist in the dark version of the Art Gallery, so I just used the Music Box to enter through the Light version then switch. Nothing here seemingly, except an entrance to the Park where the tiny hole for the Micro effect is in the Light version.

A
Anon07/18/26, 13:06No.2734120
I encounter a shade of Ginmokusei. I expect to be stabbed again... except he just gives me an effect that basically makes me into a palette swap of him complete with outfit and a unique "effect switch" FX.
With this, I've seemingly combed most or all of Inahoozuki's Dream World. Except I was still missing one Lock Shade girl. I didn't even know where to begin looking, so on a whim I went to Moon World... and there she was, behind the Telescope transporter. To get to her, you must use the Music Box in the Dark World as close to the Telescope as possible; this will put you behind the Telescope in the Outer Space Light world where you can then zap her. So yes, you NEED the Music Box effect, it's not just QOL. Good thing the game basically just hands it to you after a certain point.
And now that all of the locks have been broken the final door in the Dark Nexus is open. Shall we stare into the abyss now, knowing that it may just stare back?

A
Anon07/18/26, 13:12No.2734131
It's an empty version of Inahoozuki's room, with a knife conspicuously stuck in the ground.
...Any guesses how this is gonna go? I've already got one.

A
Anon07/18/26, 14:11No.2734244
Funnily enough, if you reverse it by interacting with the knife again, it gives you back ALL of the effects, including the ones you may not have gotten. I was missing Kitsune and Peeled Skin myself.
Also, she has an absolutely derptastic-looking face when she stabs someone.

And that was Ending 2. Ending 1 is apparently the typical Yume Nikki ending; get all the effects, jump off the balcony, join the 41%. There is, however, a third ending; the special kinfe effect give you the power to destroy the Light/Dark portals throughout the dream world and apparently destroying them all gets you another ending.
Also, after getting this ending (Ending 2), my savefile seems to have become unusable because my ability to open the menu has been permanently disabled for some reason, probably a glitch. Good thing, then, that I had the foresight to make multiple files including one right before I went into the Dark Dream Room. So just a heads up there. It's also entirely possible this was fixed in the later versions.

A
Anon07/18/26, 14:44No.2734278
And this is where you get the Skin Removal effect.
I saw this NPC several times going through here but never thought much of it because I for some reason registered it as a stray zombie from the Bloody Handprint world since the entrance is nearby. The effect itself is just cosmetic.

A
Anon07/18/26, 14:47No.2734286

Anon07/21/26, 01:23No.2743008
I've got some bad news. It seems I cannot reach Ending 3 on my version of DE i CIDE. Either due to a glitch or some poorly thought out flagging/sequencing, I cannot break the portal jewel in the Dark World version of the Church without trapping myself and getting softlocked as that portal is the only way out. The entrance to the room disappears when you enter and the church is also one of the few areas where you cannot switch between light and dark versions using the Music Box or special Knife effect. So breaking this portal/jewel traps you with no way out, and since breaking all of them then returning to the (Dark) Nexus is what's required for ending 3, said ending is effectively unachievable for me.
