.Flow is one of the most well-known fangames of the original Yume Nikki, made by lol. It's one of the darker spin-offs infamous for its eerie atmosphere and copious amounts of body horror and hospital imagery, centering around a girl named Sabitsuki (さびつき) as she enters her PC dreamworld to explore her mind and collect effects. .Flow is one of the more traditional fangames that stays true to the gameplay elements of the original. Effects are collected in a gloomy, sublime dreamscape and the user is left to interpret the events and lack of explicit storyline. The only differences that seem to set this game apart from Yume Nikki is the more concrete subject matter (the deeper aspects of the landscape seem to have a more pristine resemblance to human body parts, where as Nikki's environment requires more interpretive thinking to analyze) and the inclusion of three endings instead of one. The main plot of the game is similar to the original Yume Nikki's, in that it's a sandbox game with very few exploration restrictions. You must collect the twenty-five effects to unlock two of the three endings and three boxes to achieve the third.

One of the best Yume Nikki fan games. Darker and edgier than original Yume Nikki imo. I like the art style. Fits Yume Nikki style so well.

I played through this yume nikki fan game with the friend that got me into yume nikki in the first place. We didn't end up completing/seeing everything but the vibes of this game were very strong and unique and a story could almost be gleaned from it. Very different from the original game in a very interesting way, I recommend

Just reviewing this again so I can say that to me this is Yume Nikki but good and meaningful which is mean because Yume Nikki is incomparable to a lot of other games already

This is like a mix of Yume Nikki with Silent Hill 3 and Lain. The way you go to the dream world(virtual reality?) through the computer and not sleeping on the bed is such a cool concept. The music is also very atmospheric and well-made.

.flow is also a lot edgier than the original game with body horror and such which I didn't mind because I think it fits in this game and I love edgy stuff sometimes.
