Events & Trivia[]
Bored[]
In the real room, if you wait a little, Soutarou will yawn.
Waking Up[]
Most of the effects have a unique waking up action, try to find them all! For example, if you have the Tape effect equipped, Soutarou looks like he is being taped until he disappears. Or, if he's in the child state of the Down Jacket effect, he'll fall on his knees. Or if he uses the Corpse effect, he will disappear and leave behind a blood puddle.
What's also interesting is that the only time Soutarou will pinch his cheek like any other dreamer is when he has the Black Hair effect equipped.
Trying to wake up when he's already awake will result in him looking up - probably at the player - confused.
Nature of Chasers[]
Chasers - let's call them Shokushu, which in Japanese means Tentacles. So in this game, Shokushu as chasers work differently than in other fan games. If Soutarou attacks a calm chaser while wearing a bag on his head with the Brass Knuckles effect, the Shokushu will be killed, BUT if Soutarou does the same action without the bag on his head, the chaser will turn into lunatic/mad form, and if he gets caught, he will be transported to an inescapable area.
Ringing phone[]
- Please note that you won't be able to witness this event if you have collected all effects.
In the dream room, sleep in the couch and wait until you hear a phone ringing. Then, check the drawer next to you; a short cutscene will begin.
Black Stone World ghosts[]
If you equip the Brass Knuckles effect in the Black Stone World, the ghosts wandering in the world will immediately disappear and you won't be able to hurt any of them.
Behind the doors[]
In Door World, there is a dark blue door which disappears upon interaction and a green door that, when interacted with, will slighty open, revealing a big red eye behind it. There is also a random chance that if you try to open any locked door, they will all open and shows multiple red eyes.
Manor Shenanigans[]
Somewhere in the Rainwater World's sewers is a brown sliding door that is entrance to a manor, where dozens of housemaids will bow down before Soutarou everytime he enters a hallway or a room, except when you've equipped a certain effect. If Soutarou wears the Brass Knuckles before them, they will look down on him, before forcing him to unequip it.
In the room that's home to the Picture Frame effect, using the latter will result in the original frame being fractured as well.
The Manor's Secret[]
In that same manor, there is a room with a moveable object who's blocking a secret room. At the end of it, there is a view of what could be a bloodied scenery. When quitting this place, Soutarou will first look at that scenery one more time, before coming back to the actual manor.
However, there are odds that, when entering and going at the end of the room, Soutarou will have a pained expression on his face and fall on his knees, before waking up.
Gray Building Shenanigans[]
From the starting point in the building the Black Stone World's blue blob is teleporting you to, go west, then south. If you try to go into the eastern doorway here, it will disappear without warning and you will hear laughter.
You can also go all the way to the right, then down. In the dead end, there is a big red eyeball; exiting and entering the room used to have a chance of making a hole appear instead.
(Feigning) Ignorance[]
Find the large doorway in the gray building. Go upstairs, until you're on the third floor - the one after the floating gray teleporter. Attempting to go up again will result in Soutarou immediately go back again, with an uneasy expression on his face.
A similar event happens when you try to open the bloodied dresser in the White Room. The screen will fade to black, preventing you to see what's inside. Although this time, he'll shrug, acting like there's nothing of note in there.
White Building[]
In the arcade, interact with the machine that has a white screen to trigger a little cutscene, showing what seems to be either a church or a hospital. It won't do anything once it's over, but the next time Soutarou sleeps, another cutscene of that same building will show up, waking him up immediately. There is a chance that you will be teleported to an inescapable room after the cutscene.
The Arcade Chaser[]
In the second room of the same arcade, a blond-haired chaser can be found playing on an arcade machine. Trying to hit him with the Brass Knuckles - or to disturb him with several other effects - will result in him looking at Soutarou menacingly, revealing as well his hostile nature.
Glitching the Dream[]
- You need the Distort effect to perform this event.
While in the FC World, equip the Distort effect and press the action key. The screen will glitch, while a loud noise plays, before Soutarou wakes up.
Shapeshifter in Organic World's Inescapable Area[]
- You need the Brass Knuckles effect.
Go to Inorganic World, find the girl scarecrow (go down a bit and then left), enter the building, use the Brass Knuckles effect on Shokushu (chaser) BUT take the bag off Soutarou's head (press Shift), let the mad chaser catch Soutarou, you will be in an inescapable area with interesting shapeshifting NPC, if you use the Both Hands effect his her head became elk horns and if you use Black Cat effect, the head of shapeshifter becomes cat like. She also can be killed.
Cursed Room[]
- This is a one-time, forced wake up event.
Enter the Inorganic World and interact with the scarecrow that's somewhere south to the door. Continue until you arrive in a dark-ish area, then find and interact with a bouncing white ball. Go west, north and interact with the gray mass, taking you to a building.
Walk left, always north, then enter the first door you'll see. In the next hallway, go into the third room. Search for a box and try to interact with it. Return to the entrance to trigger the event ; the floor starts to get darker, while the door will be locked, preventing you from exiting the room. Several arms then appear, chasing Soutarou. Touching one of them will force him to wake up.
After that, if you try to come back there, Soutarou will refuse to do so.
Room of bad memories[]
Enter the Board World. Go north-west and step between the two plants in front of the board. Go left and interact with the leaf. Go north-east and interact with the jagged blue statue. This is a random event, but to have a higher chance of obtaining it you need to interact with the papers in the room with one paper and in the room with many papers. Then, go to the left upper corner and enter the first door, and in next hall enter the second door. Walk around in this room until Soutarou falls to his knees and starts to remember something from his past.
Sewer Monster[]
Somewhere in the sewers - that are accessible by going into a hole in one of the prison's cells, a doorway will take you to platform surrounded by waste, where dwells a one-eyed green monster. If you dare interact with him, Soutarou will be submerged by him as soon as he tries to leave, forcing him to wake up.
The little girl in the Streets[]
By going between the two lampposts in the Case effect's area, you'll find yourself in a backstreet where a blonde little girl can be found. Most of the time, she'll be wandering, although there is a chance to find her sitting. If you re-enter this area again, there are odds that Soutarou will find her unconscious, apparently injured and probably dead - or dying. He'll head towards her and, desperate, finally falls on his knees before waking up.
Note that, when near this girl, Soutarou will refuse to equip any gruesome effects, like Centipede, Brass Knuckles or Case.

Its something like Poniko/Uboa Event from Yume Nikki, to trigger this event, enter the Door World, find and enter in purple-pink door. Go up to the next area. In Gray World find the cabin/house with a big chair or even throne, enter in house (approximately 52 times) and leave repeatedly until girl that on a second appears the throne still sitting there, in that moment Soutarou can't leave her house since the door is locked, if Soutarou interacts with this girl, first off she will give him a cute smile, then a creepy smile and then Soutarou will wake up.
Eye Box[]
- You need the Brass Knuckles effect to perform this event.
An event that is working the same way as the Eye Box event from Yume Nikki. Find the box located east on Sepia Island, equip the Brass Knuckles and interact with the object. Doing so has a chance to teleport you to a small room. Going into one of the doorways will only lead you to the other one, meaning that this room is a loop - you can verify it by using the Envelope effect. Interacting again with the box will bring you back to Sepia Island.
Cave Chaser[]
- This is a random event.
Enter the Black Stone World. Search for a floating purple object and interact with it. Avoid the chasers until you find a similar purple object. Interact with it. Go up and then right until you see an NPC in front of the railings. Interact with them.
From where you're teleported, go right and follow the train tracks, there must be a hole in the wall, if Soutarou looks through it, he sees a calm chaser with blonde hair, but if Soutarou looks through it again and the chaser is gone, he appears behind Soutarou and eats him offscreen, forcing Soutarou to wake up.

Enter the Iron Fence World. Go roughly north-east and interact with the lamp. Go a little south, west, then interact with the black egg. Go south until you see a mass of flesh, west and interact with the window where a green liquid is leaking. If it's the first time reaching this area, you'll need to interact with the rock blocking the path with the Brass Knuckles effect to make Soutarou destroy it.
Continue to walk. When you arrive at the end, make sure that a blond-haired chaser is there; if he is, try to buy a drink from the vending machine, and then interact with the blond-haired chaser. The chaser will buy a drink and give it to Soutarou. He will then wink at him.
Unusual Inescapable Areas[]
- You need the Brass Knuckles effect.
Enter the Black Stone World. Locate and interact with the floating purple object. Avoid the chasers and find the similar looking purple object and interact with it. You should be in a building with a sane chaser wandering around. Equip the Brass Knuckles and then without the bag on Soutarou's head, hit the chaser and let him catch you.

Enter the Black Stone World. Find an interact with a floating purple object. Avoid the chasers and find a similar floating object. Go upwards. Go left until you see an NPC in front of the railings. When Soutarou uses the Picture Frame effect in the presence of this NPC, this creature just disappears, but if you use it after teleporting to the cave location this NPC seems to lay in the water, like a dead body, actually same in railings location, but it can be seen from Soutarou view, since this human being very far below.
White Cat[]
Go in Door World, find and enter the gray door, in next area just go down, and next to the right, go up and find a white building, go inside from the left side, find the door frame in north-west direction and go through it, on railings area find the human like NPC and interact with them to teleport to the cave, use the Black Cat effect to go through the hole, in next area just go to the right, in the place that looks like a greenhouse find the door with vines or green plant parts and go through it, in the next area, go to the left to enter the cat building, when you pass the three rooms you find the white cat sleeping in the basket, if Soutarou uses the Brass Knuckles effect on her white cat will run from him, and then she can be in different places like between four holes in third room, on some kind of pedestal in first room, or the basket in fourth room, but it is always random after Soutarou wakes up and falls asleep again, the last place in which she can be is outside of the cat building, sitting near the vending machine.
Endings Guide[]
END 1[]
To get this ending, you must have all effects without dropping them off in the Nexus, waking up, then opening the door. The screen will slowly fade to black, revealing a "Thank You" message.
END 2[]
To get this ending, you must drop off all effects in the Nexus (Press and hold Z), wake up, then open the door. [Soutarou will stop in place, stumble back from the door and pass out.] The screen will fade to the "Thank You screen", and you will return to the title screen.
END 3[]
To get this ending, you must drop off all effects in the Nexus and open the white book in Soutarou's dream room. [After opening the door, he will back up from the door and head toward his balcony. He will look over his balcony and jump off the broken part of his railing. After hearing him fall and splat on the road, the screen fades in to a bleeding Soutarou breathing heavily. The girl sitting in the chair in the Gray World (fan name Himemi) will approach him. The screen will cut to black, a thud sound heard. The screen fades in, showing Soutarou, sitting up with red and black eyes, over the girl, now possibly knocked out or dead. Soutarou leans toward her, and begins to eat her. Then red, hellish-looking vines abruptly sprout out of the street, and the "Thank you" message appearing with a loud noise.]
END[]
To get this ending, you will use the same procedure as END 3, but after opening the book, go to the area with the needles accessible from the Board World and open the plain white door. When in the white rooms, interact with the mirror until a new door is shown. Enter the door and interact with the ajar door. A new room will be shown with a book in the center. Open the book, wake up, and interact with the door. The cutscene will play out like END 3, up until the girl approaches Soutarou, now holding a bokken, or wooden training sword. She will then hit him with it multiple times off-screen, presumably killing him in the process. The screen will then fade in, revealing a gaping dent in his head. The ending music will play, the screen slowly fading to white and going to the title screen without a message.
