Träumerei is an original Horror RPG game created in VX Ace. The game is focused on exploration, story, and characters. It contains original art, graphics, and sprites.

CHAPTER 0-Demo

Original Release Date: June 19, 2017

NOTE: Chapter 0 was merely a practice game I made in-order to test out RPGM VX Ace. It was an experimental game, so the sprites/backgrounds look a bit different here as well. It is not canon.


CHAPTER 1-Träumerei

Original Release Date: March 8, 2019

Once upon a time, beneath dreary branches obscuring a crimson sky, there lived a reclusive vampire who would love nothing more than to sleep, read, or die. After a certain tragedy befell him, the vampire, Noël Rousseau, resolved to hide himself away from the world. Locking himself away in a decaying house for nearly half a century with only his grandmother’s beloved books and decrepit button-eyed dolls for company, he was content……

Until…he meets a cheerful, rosy eyed girl in the outskirts of the woods one dark, dreary day. Upon following the strange girl, Noël realizes there was more to his XXXX’s death beneath the surface.

“Je suis perdu…aide moi……”


CHAPTER 2-For Whom the Bell Tolls

Original Release Date: July 28, 2019

The year is 1524 A.D., and self proclaimed exorcist Noël Rousseau has been wandering across a country within a state of constant fall and autumn leaves. Wracked with guilt and plagued with vague memories of his previous life, idealistic and bizarrely inane Noël has made it his goal in life to search for the source of his problems–his grandmother, XXXX.

Donning a witch doctor mask, the lone traveler comes across a peculiar town harboring its own dark secrets…and the mournful spirit of an executed witch who appears to have connections with his long-forgotten past……

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."


CHAPTER 3-Moonlight Circus

Original Release Date: January 10, 2020

Losing someone is a terrible, indescribable experience. The feeling of one day waking up to realize your loved one is not there and you’ll never see them again…it’s maddening. It’s like walking in a forest. Whichever way you go, all you see are trees. Light peeks out from the treetops, but it’s only a slight sliver. The forest is not quite bright, but not dark, either. Distantly, you are aware that there is kindness, and light, and laughter somewhere, far, far away…

Noël’s existence has been filled with confusion and loss. That much is certain. There is not much he understands about himself or others, but…all he has even known are the sense of pervasive loneliness and isolation. Upon visiting a ‘Moonlight Circus’, he meets a certain familiar grim reaper who proposes a game……

“You may have memories, but they pale in-comparison to seeing them everyday—to know that they still breathe.”


CHAPTER 4-Wayward

Original Release Date: July 3, 2020

Despite how you may feel, your life is not your own. It is an amalgamation of every experience you’ve had; every person you have ever met or will meet— time will not stop for anyone, not even a reclusive vampire who has all but cut himself away from the world and everyone he has ever known. After meeting an eerily familiar reaper, Noël finds himself at a crossroad. Should he continue down the path he had set forth on, or will he carve out a new ending for himself?

Perhaps the vampire has been even more lost than he realized. He may have forgotten those he had loved and the land that he came from, but it does not matter. Memories are of no use to him.

"If you could forsake all that you have ever known for a brighter future, would you?"

I really like the word play with the title. Its like its saying it is bad to dream or something. The 'erei' part.. is always at the end of a word that is seen as negative.

and cute artwork. really love it


Thank you~!! ^_^ Truthfully, I just chose that for the name because it sounded neat. It was either this, "Cross", or "Wish".

One day I'll learn how to draw actual anime guys, but today is not the day. To be honest Annabelle's the manliest one of them all.
I just want to see Noël grow up into bearded Canadian French fur trapper. But I will take Victorian Colonial officer with mustache preferably handlebars.

I always thought Noël was going to be a very grumpy librarian when he grows up but that is 10x better. That is now my headcanon; I'd like to see him become a grumpy bearded trapper/Colonial Officer instead.

He could also become the world's worst Santa considering how much he detests Christmas. XD
Encountered a bug:
After you talk to everyone at the graveyard and talk to Annabelle, there's an option to leave or not. If you choose not to leave and go wander around the graveyard instead, everyone who dissapeared will be back and even Annabelle will be there.

Aaah, thank you so much for informing me!!

It's so weird how she's standing on that grave though; I'll look into fixing it for v1.01

This looks very nice! Will probably give it a play and analyze to better my own game dev skills.

I also like that the game's title is a german word :>

Aw, thank you~!! \>u</ I hope you have fun playing and I wish you look on your own game endeavors~ X)

Yeah, the main character's German/French so I wanted to incorporate words from both languages.
Wow this look really cool ! But I thought he was a girl x3

And I get that a lot, actually. Maybe it's just because my anime style looks kinda shoujo? xD
Hi Veynn it's been a while ^^

I just wanted to check on the progression of the game since I hadn't looked over it in a while :)

Hi Kat; thank you for the question! Progress is going really well (I finished writing the whole script months ago and finished all of the artwork. All I have left to do are 20 maps). I usually just stick to Tumblr/Twitter for updates and keep RMN strictly for game downloads.

Though, I'll upload some of my current maps here as well!

No problem!

Oh I see :D wow, you have been working hard! I'm so happy that you've got lots of the game finished!

If you ever need an unprofessional tester, let me know because...I'm just bored. a lot XD kidding, you probably have plenty of testers, I wouldn't doubt it; the last time I played your game, omg it was fantastical :0 you did an amazing job, so I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE THE FINAL PRODUCT!
Oh I see ^^ I rarely use my Tumblr, I used to all the time to add pretty pictures and things to my phone when I had one, but I quit after an overloaded amount of daily pictures..ugh too many pretty ones to have on file XD

Sometimes I'll get on Twitter, so I'll probably check in on that too every now and then; I do like the idea that you use rmn for mainly downloads, it stays nice and organized that way :3

As a conclusion of this reply, are you enjoying your "fall/winter" or do you hate the cold? I've been enjoying the cozy indoors and learning how to knit ^^

Aww, thank you! I just finished up a small unrelated game, so now I'll be back to solely working on Träumerei. The remaining maps shouldn't take me too long to complete now! ^^

Thank you so much for the offer! I'll be sure to keep you in-mind once I get to the beta tester phase. It would help a lot since I typically don't have my games beta tested (Chapter 0 was the exception, and even then I should have probably asked more people to get a broader sense of how others would view the game). Ahhhh, thank you so much for your kind words! <3

I usually stick to using Tumblr and Discord, haha. Twitter as well, though to a lesser extent. I know what you mean; there's so much pretty art on Tumblr.

I am definitely a Summer person. "I miss the sun," I say...even though I'd spend the summer season completely avoiding light like a vampire. I can handle the cold; I'm just not fond of the year suddenly coming to an end. ^^;

And that sounds lovely! Knitting is a great skill to have; I hope you'll have fun! And enjoy the fall/winter weather! ^^

You're welcome! It's a good idea to every now and then take a break from a big project so you can relfect on what your original intent and ideals were; sometimes we like to take big projects and work on them all the time, but after a while, we get tired of it bc it's all we work on, so a nice holiday is necessary for any type of creation we take on :) (not sorry for the pun, I LOVE CHRISTMAS!)

You're welcome ^^ I'd like to help any way I can :p especially spell checking or testing ^^ Anytime you need help with that stuff or even encouraging words, I'm here! Ever since I was a little kid, I would always try to use my mouth as a good thing instead of a harmful weapon :)

I don't think I've ever used Discord, I'm pretty oldschool, sticking to email, Youtube, RMN, I even handwrite letters..^^" No kidding! I used to be sooooooo frigging obsessed with looking at ever single metalhead pic and aesthetic pic I could find; I would freak out so bad if I skipped a day =_= I ended up giving up, no matter how bad the impulse to scroll was..although I looove the stupid kawaii 90s anime gifs and pictures..grr so cute ><

Oh ok :D Like me XD If I do go out, I coat myself twice, even three times, in sunscreen XD I like to keep my skin Moon tanned bc I am a nice witch lady ^^ I honestly have something to love about each season, it makes it easier to deal with what you don't like about them :) then again, I am an optimist, even though I knit listening to The Smiths/Morrissey and dress like I just came back from a witch's coven...XD

Oh yes, especially with snow falling outside, the tree decorated, some yummy warm coffee to sip and some Christmas movies on tv, the best thing to top it off is to play with my cat and knit ^^ It is; plus, it's so versatile; the possibilities of things to knit is endless! It surprised me at how many things I own that have been made from needlework :) that brightens up my motivation to crochet and sew and things like that, because I see so many things I can create by hand <3 plus it's a great money saver :p I think it'll be nice to knit things for others and give them to them when I, one day, travel the world with my camera ^^ that's my envisioned career :)

Same to you~! Stay warm, stay positive and have a wonderful holiday time~!

Postscriptum: Sorry for being long-winded..I'm quite a writer, hope I don't annoy you with these storybooks ^^"

Aaaah, sorry for the late response! I thought I already responded to this... ^^;

I finished all the art [minus ending/credits related stuff), so that break really did help! Haha, yep, that pun is perfect for the holidays. It'll be Christmas in less than two weeks already!

Aww, you're sweet. Thank you so much! >w<

Oh wow, I usually just stick to e-mails. My handwriting is atrocious, so kudos to you for handwriting letters.

That is a huge mood. Just because I like sunny weather doesn't mean I want to burnt. xD

You're such an optimistic person; it's a great perspective to have on life! :D

Postscriptum: Not at all! This conversation has been nice. ^^

Don't worry one bit! I've been a little busy myself as of late. I've ended up having to start over using new yarn, thicker needles and less stitches on my scarf bc the last one was too wide and thick to do anything with ;m; also I was tugging the yarn too tightly, so that also added to the problematic mass of crap ><

But NOW, the new one is a lot thinner, more loose, easier to work with and I'm more than a quarter of the way finished with it ^^ bad thing about it all is that I can't go Christmas shopping with my sissy .m. my dad didn't make the money he expected to from his job, so we can't do that and also my mom's sick, so there's no way we can do anything awesome like that like Brittany and I planned :( we've been reworking our plans though, like sometime after the holidays, which would be great bc you usually have a decent sale on everything after Christmas :)

Oh that's good! Being moderate with things is key; if I just went and decided to finish my scarf today, I'd be really tired bc of constantly focusing, my hands would be cramping a site bc of all the hand-work involved, then after a nightmare of a decision, I'd probably put it away and never get it finished. I'm actually doing this in a mini-goal type of setting. I knit rows of 12 at least 25 times a day. I'm also breaking up the 25 to about 10-15, this way I can take a breather and check my progress ^^ right now I'm at the 40th row, only 10 left until I reach today's goal! If I didn't give myself a reasonable break on my creative projects, I'd probably never get them finished ^^"

No problem at all ^^

I'm actually in a place in my life where, last year in October, I got my smartphone taken bc my parents hate my fiancé. So they think we aren't together, which is why I write letters and don't use social media. Also I email my sis and my aunt that talks to him for me when I can't be around her. When I can come up to her house, she lets me message him, even call him which is always special <3 she and my uncle even take care of our letters, keeping his up there, sending mine to him, they're just fantastic <3

Right XD I don't like being tan at all lol

Thank u ^^ If I wasn't, I wouldn't expect many people I know to be <3

Postscriptum: Oh ok phew XD just as long as I'm not aggravating u cx
Is the game finished ? If yes, will there be a downloadable version where the four chapters will be put into one folder (RAR/ZIP/etc.) ? If no, what is left to be done ?

Sorry for the super late reply!!

Yep, the game is 100% done! The story will still continue via book, but the game itself is completely finished. Each chapter will be available separately, as placing them all into one ZIP file will take up too much space.
