Kind Heart

Overview
Kind Heart is a Yume Nikki fangame made by Orange 100%@Aitsuki (Pixiv Twitter), starring Aitsuki (あいつき). It is currently at version 0.025. As the title implies, the main theme of this game is (mostly red) hearts.

Gameplay
Kind Heart is a traditional fangame, with the protagonist refusing to leave her room, and dreams. You go into the bed to dream, save at your desk and pinch your cheek to wake up, with the main goal being to explore the doors in your nexus and collect effects. Similar to Double Dream (二重遊夢), this game has childish and simple worlds, school and fruits themes, a few gory events, simple BGM, effects without actions or use, and an impersonation of the protagonist's alter ego/counterpart.

You can access the debug room by interacting with the bookcase in Aitsuki's dream room. Starting from version 0.025, all of Aitsuki's sprites have been redone. Being only at version 0.025, this game is still very incomplete and under development. Many places are sectioned off with cones, creating lots of dead ends in almost every world.

Plot
From what is implied in Aitsuki's dreams, she may have had problems with school, even when she tried to be a kindhearted person. The girl who apparently bullied her is the one with the red twintails.

According to Aitsuki's in-game description she appears to be an older sister. She has a younger sister named (according to unimplemented text is) Dakitsuki (だきつき). They appear to be sleeping and living in the same room, as there is a double bed and a desk with two chairs in Aitsuki's room. This may hint to them being twins or just very close friends and sisters. (Highlight to view at your own risk)

Dakitsuki is the only chaser in the game so far, but she will never chase or trap you unless you first stab her in the eye with your scissors. After doing so if you are caught, she will teleport you to a sectioned off, heart-shaped area at the heartbeat maze with her already stabbed in the eye, but harmless. According to these events, the younger sister may also be the reason Aitsuki refuses to leave her room - she hates seeing what she had done to her beloved little sister. It is a mystery why she did that to her because they seem to be loving each other and always being friendly to one another. The few possible explanations to this behaviour can be mental affliction or Dakitsuki being the reason to Aitsuki being bullied at school.

Known Bugs/Glitches

 * When getting the Smile effect it is possible to get more than one of it, but only at its original place in the dreams. (The debug room only allows you to get it there once.)
 * When pinching yourself awake at Aitsuki's dark balcony, her sprite becomes normal instead of remaining dark.
 * When waking up while being in the Heartbeat Maze, its BGM will continue playing after you wake up. It will stay there until you save your game again.
