I really want to think that the theory that suicide is a way out of the dream and that this causes Madotsuki to wake up and return to the normal world is the canonical one.
Wow, I just finished Yume Nikki and saw this for the first time. I was doing my best to figure most of the stuff out by myself (even though the exploration stopped being as fun near the end so I basically followed the wiki for the 3 or so effects I was missing), so I spent a full 8 hours on it. I really enjoyed it and I think it's a great, immersive and unique game. I'm not sure why, but I kinda thought the ending was going to be positive somehow. Like, I thought she was going to leave all her fears behind and start a new life or something (dropping the effects/eggs) at the end. That ending really caught me off guard, though. It could still mean that she's leaving those things behind, but the suicide angle makes it way darker than I expected. In any case, great game that I probably won't ever forget.
It perturbs me how abrupt this ending is. You’ve gone through this game which has overall been fun, despite a consistently dark atmosphere and a few scary scenes. And then, she just fucking does it without any hesitation. In a way, it’s realistic. People who do this have had some happy times in their lives, and they may have friends they know and love, but they still decide that this is the way they have to go. It’s scary in how anticlimactic it is.
Personally, I think the theory about her having abusive parents is the best one, and maybe when she jumped, she thought there was a small chance she could survive and escape. I know it sounds a bit far-fetched, but it's just a theory, and its something I thought of one day.
i mean, i was searching for nikke and i wrote nikki but i delved into this game out of curiosity at that point and now i feel like the old times when someone was telling you "hey watch boku no pico, it's cool!" man wtf
What if all these effects is what were what made Madotsuki... Madotsuki like when she was younger or in a time unknown to us these effects were key aspects of her character/personality and in the end she just throws it all away just to jump....
I think what makes Mado's end so unsettling is that she never says anything, expresses no emotions, her dream ended the same as they always did, and nothing really changed in the end. Poor girl, never felt more connected to such a void character.
pourquoi elle a sauté ? certe , le jeu est bizzare au point que quand on pionce et on sort de sa chambre , on est dans le nexus . Ok mais c'était quoi cette fin ???
For a game so cryptic and all about symbolism this ending is so blunt and shocking. It flips everything you go through up until this point on its head and you have no choice but to look back on it all with this new perspective.
