Added DiffLines:

* RedEyesTakeWarning: ZigzaggedTrope. Adrien has these, justified coming with the territory of being a creature born from a nightmare. Though it's subverted in that by the timeframe of the game, he's since mellowed out and [[BenevolentMonsters friendly with everyone]].

''[[https://skyhour.itch.io/a-nightmares-trip A Nightmare's Trip]]'' (Steam page [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1156630/A_NIGHTMARES_TRIP here]]) is a short, UsefulNotes/RenPy-based VisualNovel by Sky Hours Works written by Jeffrey Chiao and released on October 7th, 2019.

The story takes places on Natura, a planet situated on an alternate dimension from our own. In this world, [[YourMindMakesItReal nightmares that are vivid enough can come to life]], turning into humanoid beings living independently from their original creators (Known as "Conductors".) Adrien, a shy, soft-spoken fox boy from Lunar's Lead, is one of those nightmares.

For a few days, Adrien decides to go on a holiday to the foreign town of [[{{Wutai}} Kumo City]], hoping to refresh himself, find some new friends, and maybe even learn the origin of his recent, mysterious dreams of a person calling out to him...

''A Nightmare's Trip'' straddles the line a bit between a KineticNovel and a choice-based, regular visual novel: While there are multiple choices over the course of the story, they only affect a few minor dialogue changes as well as some exclusive scenes; For example, choices made during the prologue will actually affect Adrien's personality throughout the entire story, making him more outspoken or shy for the rest of the game, but the main plot will always stay the same.

----

!!''A Nightmare's Trip'' provides examples of:

* {{Adorkable}}: Adrien ends up in a lot of socially awkward situations, but stays ''extremely'' adorable throughout.
** [[spoiler: And Lucié is just as Adorkable.]]
* ArtShift: [[spoiler: Yume and Lucié are drawn by a different artist and in a noticeably different artstyle from the rest of the characters, emphasizing their connections with Adrien.]]
* {{Asexuality}}: K and Bartholomew are asexual, as revealed in the credits sequence.
* BlandNameProduct: Adrien and Riley are apparently big players of ''[[VideoGame/DragonQuestXI Dragon Pest XI.]]'' though considering how Riley talks about a "new expansion with an improved main story", it probably plays more akin to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV''.
* CastFullOfGay: ''Every'' character is part of the LGBTQ community, the only exceptions being Segwayne, Riley (And only because nowhere are their sexual orientation mentioned) and ''maybe'' Adrien. Even characters that aren't depicted as explicitely LGBTQ during the story have various pride flags projected behind them in the credits:
** Marcy and Jude are both lesbians (With Marcy outright saying she has a wife in chapter 5).
** Gangle is gay.
** K and Bartholomew are [[{{Asexuality}} asexual]].
** Orange is [[BiTheWay bisexual]].
** [[spoiler: [[{{Transgender}} Lucié in non-binary, and Yume is a trans man.]]]]
** Adrien himself ''might'' also be bisexual or gay, considering he immediately takes Bartholomew's compliments as flirting, but nothing is explicitely said ingame.
* CloudCuckooLander: K, ''big time''. She can't stay one second without stealing something or spouting what immediately came to her head.
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: Yume, considering Adrien is born from his dreams.]]
* MyNameIsQuestionMarks: The person in Adrien's dreams is only known by "____" (Four underscores) at first, but every encounter with them unveils one letter. [[spoiler: It's "Yume".]]
* PaperThinDisguise: Let's just say Bartholomew is ''really bad'' at hiding his demon identity.
--> '''Bartholomew:''' [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I am totally fine I am definitely not from another plane of existence oh no no no no]]
* PlantPerson: Marcy.
* ShoutOut:
** Gangle wears a baseball cap that spells "[[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Binyot Co.]]".
** Bordering between this and outright cameos: Two of the games Adrien has on his handheld console are ''NOISZ'' and ''One Step From Eden'', and are directly called by name in the narration.
* StickyFingers: K appears to be quite the compulsive stealer.
--> '''K:''' You have it on display right there! THAT MAKES IT FREE.
* SiblingRivalry: If they're together, Jude and Bartholomew ''will'' fight. No exceptions.
* StylisticSuck: The game uses a lot of Website/{{Tumblr}} styled typos, missspellings, lack of punctuation and / or keysmashing to emphasize extreme emotions such as panic, joy, or anger.
* {{Transgender}}: [[spoiler: The credits reveal that Yume is a trans man and Lucié is non-binary.]]
* {{Wutai}}: Kumo City is an amalgation of various Asian countries, but seems mostly based on modern-day Tokyo, with undergoung malls, lots of merchandise based on anime, and even a Sky Tower!
* YourMindMakesItReal: On Natura, Conductors are able to turn their nightmares into real people. [[spoiler: Adrien was born from Yume's fear and insecurities, but deeply regrets his actions by the end.]]
