The Mysterious Japanese Game That Took 14 Years To Officially Come Out www.wired.com

Yume Nikki tells the story of Madotsuki's dreams. When the player first boots up the game, the young Japanese girl is in a small room. There's a television, a game console, a bookshelf, a desk, and a bed. A glass door leads to a balcony outside, and another leads out of the room; if the player guides Madotsuki to the bedroom door, though, she'll refuse to open it. Eventually, the player will guide her to bed, and she'll lie down and fall asleep. Then the dreaming begins, and that's where Yume Nikki (the title translates to "dream diary") begins as well.
