4''[[http://rpgmaker.net/games/6232/ Dreaming Mary]]'' is a sidescrolling adventure game made by Accha (a first-time game maker) with UsefulNotes/RPGMaker VX Ace Lite in April 2014. What started as a cutesy fetch-and-minigame quest, upon deeper inspection turns into a child's nightmare.
5----
6!!The '''real''' ''Dreaming Mary'' contains examples of:
7%%* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Boaris aka Mary's father]].
8* BookEnds: The player will start questioning the game after "beating" the challenges, entering the tree and reaching Ending 2. Mary's nightmare finally ends by entering a different tree.
9* ControllableHelplessness:
10** Ending 3. If you forgot one of the keys, [[spoiler: the white tree gets corrupted, the monster arrives, and you can't escape anywhere]].
11** Downplayed in ending 4: the room you are in is completely safe, but you can't exit it. Besides examining it, your only option is to go to bed and start again.
12%%* DarkWorld: Accessible from the painting in Mary's room [[spoiler: or from the one in the secret white room]].
13* TheEndOrIsIt: Ending 5. Did Mary [[spoiler: actually Mari]] really escape, [[YankTheDogsChain or was it still]] AllJustADream?
14* ImplacableMan: You can't stop the Boogeyman.
15* MusicalSpoiler: The music at the pink tree seems a little... off.
16* NightmareFace:
17** All of your friends [[spoiler:sans Penn Guindell]] when you fail their final requests.
18** The shadow monster shows one if he manages to catch Mary. Made out of static.
19* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler:Mari is being sexually abused and kept captive by her own father]].
20%%* RedEyesTakeWarning: Boaris.
21%%* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:Bunnilda]] and [[spoiler:Foxanne]], if you fail the final challenge.
22* SurprisinglyCreepyMoment: Even if you never discover the DarkWorld, getting 4 seeds with three petals remaining (you are forced to give up a petal to get Boaris's seed) leads to a secret cutscene right after entering the tree. [[spoiler: "Good girl. Sweet girl. You're '''mine'''."]].
23* TaxidermyTerror: The boar's head in the corridor.
24* YankTheDogsChain: What happens if you forget to take one of the three keys from the stuffed animals on the couch [[spoiler: or the Golden Leaf Key]]. Both actions lead to the "Red Credits" ending.
