Umbra

Umbra is a yume nikki fangame made by Rusch (Mugi). (Deviantart )

The game stars Scott, a boy who gets trapped inside due to a storm. The game starts off with him coming back home and commenting on how cold it is outside.

Gameplay
Umbra is the first game to start the "talksprite trend" thoughout other fangames, and is also one of the first to make dialogue an important aspect of the game. Some other games have adopted this method of story-telling, such as The Looking Glass. The game is praised for having such well made graphics, detail and music despite being only a demo/0.00.

The gameplay style is tratiditonal to Yume Nikki, collecting effects, but with added puzzles and how your dialouge choices affect the game.

The method of "dreaming" is though Scott's TV. You can save in the bed.

The Nexus is an old acrade, and the nexus "doors" are arcade machines.
