You play as Eleanor, a Brazilian hikikomori who's been avoiding life to explore her dreams. How long until she starts avoiding her dreams, too?
- Only two worlds to explore...? (The next version. The next version.)
- Not one, but three types of collectibles you can find while exploring:
- Effects, eggs that mutate your body and give you special abilities.
- Items, ordinary objects useful for exploring, like a drivable go-kart.
- Themes, visual styles for menus. They are ultimately useless.
- An original soundtrack by migel8022! With music longer than five seconds...!
- Screaming monkeys

We very occasionally post videos on YouTube showing upcoming updates for Yume Danpu. For those who don't really care about spoilers, if you wanna see what we're doing next, you should check out the playlist by both creators! Also, we keep this repository updated as we work on the game, not just when we release a new version.
Below is a very cute image.

No, nothing related to Yume Danpu is AI-generated, not even this README.
Will you trust me if I say no? If you upload the .zip file to VirusTotal, reliable security vendors like Google, Microsoft, Avast, Bitdefender, Malwarebytes, Kaspersky, AVG and ESET won't flag the file as malicious.
Yume Danpu is a spiritual successor to the first game I ever made, Dumpgame.
A shark plushie asked me to. I'm not sure why, though.
I'd also like to know.
GameMaker lets us "go crazy". Godot is hard. RPG Maker 2003 loses to Scratch.
Development started on October 21, 2024, but Yume Danpu only became open-source on March 23, 2025.
