I just watched a playthru of this weirdo japanese homebrew 2D earthbound/mother-like dream fantasy game. Name's yume nikki.
It's about this shut-in who goes to sleep and explore strange worlds all part of a dream. And these tend to get really disturbing. The game's essentially a scavenger hunt which could take a long time to finish, since the items are hidden in strange and inexplicably irrational ways. There's really no good way for me to describe how tripped up this game is unless you see for yourself. Since there are many a dream-curious people here, figured y'all might be interested.
As for the ending...

I just watched all of it and I am glad I couldn't find a download for it. Some of the visuals and audio are interesting, but the game play seems to be mindless wandering. You have to interact with anything you see and hope you get the items you need. I think the message of the game and ending are very creative, and I enjoyed watching the idea of it, but I would kill myself trying to actually play this game. No pun intended.

Interesting, I'll give this a shot I think.
