Sick Mind

Overview
Sick Mind or Sickmind (しっくまいんど) is a Yume Nikki fangame produced by Chocomaguro (ちょこ鮪) and Marisyan (まりしゃん), the creator of Dream Book and Dream Number (夢数).

It started out as a fangame with only Yamitsuki (やみつき), but later updates introduced two new playable characters: Iratsuki (いらつき) and Kurayami (くらやみ).

On November 2nd of 2012, a remake of the game was released. The remake featured all of the graphics and music from previous versions, but with much of the content stripped, including Iratsuki, Kurayami, and almost all of the effects. The sprites for all removed areas and characters remain in the game's files, though they are all currently unused.

Gameplay
There were three playable main characters and they each had their own stories within the game. With the revision, only Yamitsuki is playable.

Sick Mind plays a bit differently than most Yume Nikki Fangames, as you can enter the nexus right from the door. Additionally, you can save anywhere, besides the desk, while in the character's room. The purpose of the game still is the same, you progress through the game by collecting effects and exploring new areas. Additionally, there are a couple of readable books on her bookshelves.

The Debug Room being accessible directly from the room (by interacting with the upper left part of Yamitsuki's curtained bed) hints us that the revised version is still under development.

Plot
Each character had their own story, but due to the removal of the other two characters in the update, their stories remain a mystery.

However, it is possible that Yamitsuki was not entirely right in the head, hence the title "Sick Mind", and it is unknown whether she is hallucinating, sleepwalking, or the outside of her room is truly like that.

Effects
These were the effects available in the version before the remake. Though they are still obtainable in the remake and can be reached through the debug room. The effect names and descriptions were translated from here.

Old Effects
These effects were available in the version before the remake. They are not accessible in the revised version, as Iratsuki and Kurayami were removed from the game.

Kurayami (くらやみ)
Instead of effects, you collect pictures. (しゃしん 1-5)
