I Cannot Drown

Hi, I cannot get this to work for Mac. After extracting the sip file, I'm left with an application file which is incompatible with Mac. Anyone know how to fix this?

Really good job on this! The art is delightfully creepy and I really love the soundtrack!

A question I have, while I was looking through the image files of the game, I noticed that there was art for an unused "Decapitation" effect, including sprites and portrait artwork. What were the plans for this effect, was it just cosmetic or was it planned to have something related to it?

this games art is sooooo fucking good

One of the best yume nikki fangames, and just generally one of the best rpgmaker horror games, ive ever played. The art is beautifully done, particularly the gore, and the story is so eerie and yet so fascinating!! I'm obsessed with Ume as a character, I love the mystique surrounding her and she has such a terrifying yet alluring presence. I also adore the nightmarish atmosphere, and the japanese inspirations in the enviromental design are gorgeous and create such a distinctive and cohesive setting. I also enjoyed the devs other games, such as Lily's Well and Cold Read, and I can't wait to see their future projects!

sorry but is there any ways that i can play using wasd instead of arrows keys
my arrows keys are dead and i really REALLY wanted to play this game
wish you all the best.

I really like this game, I played it about a year ago and I still think about it. I've played your other games on steam and hope this one comes there too so I can get my friends to try it out

Greetings. I already announced it on twitter, but I thought it might come handy here: 

I made an Spanish patch of the game (meaning, you have to download the original game first, then apply it(

It was a very enjoyable experience, thank you for making it.

My favorite Yume Nikki Fangame. It resonates with me on so many levels.

Music, Art, Story, Creepiness, just love it.

Hello PureIceBlue!

Just finished all endings of this game, very delicate and surreal experience that you devised here. I honestly found it scarier than Lily's Well XD I recently saw that Lost Cartridge came out a while ago so I'll definitely check that one out too :D

A few questions: I noticed that there was an area (in the map with 4 students and a fire) that was accessible via using the eigetsu haiyu effect, where there were 6 rooms each with dens and a canvas (except the last one that had 6 canvases). Is this part a mere easter egg? I don't think there was a single walkthrough that covered what this part was for, as it didn't have any effects or parts to find.

Also, was there ever an "uncensored" version that you had? I did notice that the first ending had censored images of what seemed like hanging corpses on meat hooks, so I was wondering if there were "original" images of those.

Thank you for your work :D

great game, all of ur horror games like this are so much fun to play, and i love them all, i hope u upload more games like this and lillys well, bc i will play them al

This was so well. The visuals, the music, and the horror aspect is unsettling. It was fun trying to piece a story together. Great game! 

When I first entered Club Cherri, I heard the music which was kinda hard to hear and had sounds of chainsaws and cars mixed in. But when I started a new save file, the music changed to a much clearer version with new instruments and no chainsaws or cars.

Is this intentional?

love this game 

Full play through here: 

How do I get the two new effects?

Also, what do the mermaids in the effect room say? I don't understand Japanese.
