* Some events in ''Yume Nikki'' show up fullscreen. FACE... FACE... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by3hojNV5Nc FACE...]] ('''video at link has flashing lights'''). It's exactly what it sounds like: the screen goes black, then a bizarre, abstract creepy face fills the screen. Even the way you get to FACE is creepy on its own: you stab a zipper-thing on the wall, and it ''bleeds''. It's also the ''only'' thing in the entire game that wakes Madotsuki up that isn't caused by Madotsuki herself, which only makes it even more ominous.

* Ever freaked out because you had a game cartridge crash? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYCAs9kAIic Madotsuki feels your pain (video link).]] It doesn't help that [[NothingIsScarier the dialogue box you get repeatedly is completely blank and this event happens in an empty room in the lowest floor of a dungeon]]. All while the creepy faces on the walls slowly decompose bloodily.

* Ever freaked out because you had a game cartridge crash? The feeling is replicated by the [[https://yumenikki.fandom.com/wiki/Events#Famicom_Glitch "Famicom Glitch"]] event, which is triggered by interacting with an innocuous-looking wall in an empty room with creepy grinning faces on the walls. This causes a [[NothingIsScarier completely blank dialogue box to appear]], and once you close it, it keeps reappearing endlessly. Then random tiles in the room start glitching out, making it look like the faces on the walls are bleeding. Eventually, the game suddenly freezes with a nasty stuttering sound. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYCAs9kAIic Madotsuki feels your pain (video link).See a video here.]] It doesn't help that [[NothingIsScarier the dialogue box you get repeatedly is completely blank and To make this event even more disquieting, it happens in an empty room in the lowest floor of a dungeon]].

* In the game, most elements can be portrayed as innocent if bewildering with a few exceptions (Uboa, FACE, etc.). In the manga, things are surprisingly conspiratorial. For instance, Poniko/Uboa and Masada form a tenuous alliance and discuss confronting some sort of opponent, and Mars-san seems to be actively making it harder for Madotsuki to reach it, sending Toriningen and other obstacles to obstruct her. The manga also heavily implies that other humans entered and became trapped in the dream world.

* The dream worlds in the game, as bizarre as they often are, are usually stable and consistent. Not so in the manga. The hub, in particular, originally has massive Incan-inspired statues floating in its sky. As the manga progresses, they seem to have collapsed, leaving the hub in a mess and its doors at least partially buried. There also seem to be a lot more elements from other parts of the dream world bleeding into areas they weren't present in in the game, although this may be the intentional work of Mars-san.

Added DiffLines:

*Kyuukyuu-kun. It's a long multicolored (primarily red) creature found in the stairway in front of the door for the FACE event. It has a small arm that rubs up and down the stairway's handrail and has a constant dazed smiling expression. What makes this even creepier is that the room that Kyuukyuu-kun is found is dead silent except for the sound of it rubbing the handrail.
**Weirdly enough, if Madotsuki equips her kitchen knife Kyuukyuu-kun begins to rub the handrail even faster.

** The Thing With The Quivering Jaw. It's big, it's hideous, it has limbs where there shouldn't be, and it does nothing but stare at you with it's razor maw quivering.

** After this occurs, we see Madotsuki angry for the first time. Immediately upon waking up, her first thought is to acquire a weapon, not to defend herself from Uboa, not even to reacquire her stolen abilities, but to exact revenge against her. [[spoiler:"I'LL KILL IT! I'LL FUCKING KILL IT!"]]

* Some of the [[EpilepticTrees fan theories]] are a mixture of this and FridgeHorror. Some of the most prevalent include the thought that Madotsuki was [[RapeAsBackstory raped at some point]], or is in fact AxCrazy, among other things. [[WMG/YumeNikki Take a look at the WMG page for elaboration]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfkwLoKkwY8 This touching and sad video]] is loaded with BodyHorror and a disturbing theory that makes a lot of sense.
