Well, I feel like there's a gray area between "fangame" and "game inspired by...", especially if we're talking about non-traditional fangames (because let's face it, some of them could be their own games separate from the whole Yume Nikki community, the best example I can think of is Divinity Fatum).

In the end, I feel like it depends mostly on whether the creator of the game says it is (for example, if I remember correctly one of the Lisa games worked in a very similar way to a Yume Nikki fangame and you can clearly see it was inspired by it, but since the creator never said it was a YN fangame, it's never been on this wiki). I think that's the criteria people tend to use to classify the pages here.

But are you talking about a specific game, or is this a more general question?
