Yume Miru Kusuri - A Drug That Makes You Dream

I am just an average student, living an average life. I study, I work my part-time job, and get through the day just like everyone else, trying not to be beaten down by the pressures of modern Japan. Then suddenly, the winds of change blow into my life, when I encounter three girls who reshape me forever. Three girls who are most definitely not living a normal life like everyone else in Japan, but who seem to float above society, strangely unaffected by it. Instinctively I know I should avoid getting involved with them, and yet before I know it, my destiny is bound with theirs. Where will it all lead?

With art from the accomplished pen of Haimura Kiyotaka and story by veteran scenario writer Tanaka Romeo, the bittersweet tale of three heroines unfolds. Will you choose to defend Aeka from becoming the victim of classroom aggression, help Mizuki with the burden of her work as student council president, or accompany the cat girl Nekoko on her quest for the mystical fairyland that only she can see? Their fate, and your own, lie in your hands.

The game itself is not that good, but what the hell. Aeka's route is by far not only the best route in yume miru kusuri but in all visual novels I have played so far.

LOL I spent almost five hours trying to get this to run myself, when I noticed there was a Setup.exe sitting there.
I had a little rage fit, threw a few things at my wall, bought some paint and patched my wall, threw a couple plates at the street... Yeah.
Thanks for the game it looks and sounds amazing.

hey where is the setup.exe?

The part 3 rar download is acting odd. It says only 500mb or so when trying to download, and opens differently from one and two. After that, t almost immediately say that part 3 can not downloaded.

This game deserves praise. It has the same impact as katawa shoujo. Thank you ... Admin, for giving us the chance to experience and enjoy this gem.

this comment has made me 100% want to play this game as katawa shoujo was my first vn and im in the middle of replaying it again haha thanks for the inspiration to try this vn

Darknetic14 Aug 2013Reply

It seems you can only download two at a time?

TacoLadder20 Aug 2013Reply

I felt like stabbing Kyoka after that money part...although I had always felt like stabbing her...

TacoLadder20 Aug 2013Reply

Also after I beat the game I couldn't imagine going with anyone else other than Aeka...it would've been depressing any other way after you see her story...

TAT09 Mar 2014Reply

I have found a buddy ^ ^
I uninstall the game after finish Aeka route...
I cant feel like taking other route after know the story of Aeka ^ ^
But now I am going to redownload and reinstall for other route first and replay aeka route for the last play of this VN ^ ^

Vaan14 Mar 2014Reply

hehe, I used to think the same, but then I played Mizuki's route and boy did I almost cry...

...it did rend my heart a little to see what happens if you decide to ignore Aeka, but you're missing out if you don't play all the routes. this is such a great game, so masterfully written. If it wasn't an eroge I'd show it to my sister xD

Revvo01 Mar 2016Reply

This game really is a masterpiece. i played aekas route, which i found very touching, a second time after a while and couldn't finish. Her weakness and dependency made me feel hostility towards her. It's really weird to be confronted with those deeper emotional level of oppression and cruelty in any society. A really remarkable game.

I successfully downloaded all files. But part 8 seems to be in a different file format. Will redownloading fix it??

-M-20 Oct 2013Reply

Just finished Nekoko route (1/3) yesterday, it has a good story, although while playing I thought not. Regarding the story, the other 2 routes must be good too, maybe even greater. Back to play. :)

Xellis26 Oct 2013Reply

after I finished DL-ing all the parts and extracting them I got an ISO, but I have no idea how to deal with it :/ Can someone help me out?

igg siege27 Oct 2013Reply

You must mount the ISO file with a program like Daemon, u can download here http://www.disc-tools.com/download/daemon. the rest is easy.

bye

Red Riot15 Sep 2017Reply

Thanks for the directions.

-M-02 Nov 2013Reply

You need to mount the ISO file(s) you've got using Daemon Tools Lite. Then install it. And... Play! Enjoy :)

Anonymous18 Feb 2014Reply

There are other alternatives to using virtual drives but Daemon Tools Lite is popular since it's free.

LanzCorporalAssWipe23 Feb 2014Reply

Stray29 Dec 2014Reply

is this already translated?
cuz i don't see the english patch link...
(sorry for bad english)

admin29 Dec 2014Reply

Yes, this is USA release.
Tip for future: Every game posted on this site is in English. If there's no separate "English patch" linked on post page, then that means that the game is in English "out of the box".

Thx admin, You're the Best :)

Hi there admin, I'd like a little help. When I try to start the game, I get a window that says "registry error". How can I fix this? Sorry, I'm pretty new to this stuff :|

i already mounted and installed but i got "initializing directdraw failed". how can fix it?
(sorry for bad english)

Oz13 Apr 2015Reply

Are you trying to use a windows tablet?
Cuz I am having the same problem

zarwowjr.15 Apr 2015Reply

yes. Can you help me to fix it?

Oz16 Apr 2015Reply

Nope I am just having the same problem. The only thing I see as a problem is that it is windows 8.1 tablet but running compatability doesn't fix it sadly. You can get it on the psp but it isn't as good and kind of censored.

Oz16 Apr 2015Reply

They say it has somthing to do with accidentally clicking on the desktop while its loading but that doesn't seem to be the case with me. At this point i have no idea why the hell it isn't working and spent the better part of today trying to figure it out. You and I seem to be the only unlucky bastards that are having this problem.

swoooogy03 Jan 2017Reply

I was having a similar issue (initializing directinput failed) but plugging a mouse into the tablet via usb otg fixed the problem.

godkid01 May 2015Reply

I think thats harem party, the game that you just described

Tsuyo09 May 2015Reply

So I downloaded everything and now I don't know what to do... Could someone tell me how to extract it all and start playing please?

ayee05 Nov 2015Reply

Sorry, there's no problem...

application formatting error comes up when i try to play after mounting and installing

RightInTheFeels12 Jun 2016Reply

I don't know if someone still goes here but it's worth a shot to ask.

besides this and katawa shoujo, are there any other VN's out there that has the same feels trip as the ones i mentioned?

This game </3
I just finished it with Aeka's route just now. My heart is too weak and fragile to try the other routes because that would mean I have to ignore Aeka throughout the game.

Nii-Nii09 Jul 2016Reply

Try Edelweiss and Kana - Imouto.

Tathagatra16 Jan 2017Reply

Can someone help me? I installed the VN first time and it worked perfectly but after that I opened the yumemiru.exe and it says application error. Then I delete the whole VN and try to reinstall it but when I run the setup.exe a window says I already have the VN installed gives me the option to open the game but when I click yes a window says it failed in the start. What should I do to reinstall it? I really want to play this VN.

Gage18 May 2017Reply

Man this is a sad one the character you play is such a low life its absolutely disgusting of a character.

Red Riot04 Sep 2017Reply

Uhhh, do someone else got the same problem with the downloading speed? It's so darn slow that it might take me 3 hrs to download 1 part of rar file (20KB/s) whereas i tried downloading other rar files from the same site to check if the downloading speed is the same, but no, i downloaded katawa no shoujo with 60-80 kb/s speed. Meh, just asking.

Red Riot15 Sep 2017Reply

Very catchy menu music(suddenly remembers some OSTs from narcissu. Cool and chill tune, really gives connection/of relevance to the word dream. I liked how it welcomes me in a dreamy and persuasive tone... like it really invites you to come and play after watching the OP movie.

Red Riot18 Sep 2017Reply

It's not fair of you. Why are you killing her all by yourself? I've been wanting to do this to her for such a long time.

Mizuki Route
A bit lengthy than the others and has a very good and convincing plot with a satisfying ending .... very satisfying ending (well for me) to boot.
Aeka Route
Somehow plot is kinda cliche for the 'tragic' kind of genre. But never failed in keeping me very entertained. Actually this might be my most favorite route because of certain personal preferences. Yeah... say no to bullying faggots.
Nekoko Route
The meh route, actually i played this route first because i see nekoko as cute and feels like it will have a good ending, it did but ... yeah, least favorite because the plot is kinda lacking (after experiencing mizuki and aeka route)

Revvo12 Oct 2019Reply

interesting.
to me nekos route was the best by far. Her disconnection from the world seemed in an extreme way most fitting to the main characters own problems. Her collapse which lead into the ending was also written very convincingly.

Aeka on the other hand was barely playable for me. Not saying it was necessarily bad, i just felt really aggressiv towards her and the main char in her route. This all felt like rape and manipulation. Both from his and from her side. The bullying was also way over the top for a romantic scenario, at least to me. Hated it.

Gentle breeze08 Oct 2017Reply

Oh yeah, one more thing to say.
A very rare VN indeed, but not for everyone.
