That's how ideas gain traction, by gaining favor over your critics. This is what has gone on in the community for long amounts of time, and honestly, if someone is testing your theory, and asking questions about it, you should be happy to have your theory tested. A theory is rubbish speculation if it can never be held true. However, plausably correct theories are all that we want to hear about. Originally posted by Jell圜ream:Shazam, exactly. You can speculate that it has a story, but that is assuming that the creator misinformed us. In fact, there is nothing to theorize as the game does not even have a story. With theories, there is no correctness unless it goes against a presupposed truth or canon. Who is viewing this as a competition? Theories are theories, speculation, however evidence leaves behind plausability towards certain ideas. They're just interpretations of the game. Heck, the manga and light novel feature completely different stories from each other. They may be official releases, but they play out differently from the game. The same could be said about the light novel. Originally posted by Dasutein:The manga is non-canon and is more like a fanfic than anything else. There's no need to turn everything into a competition now just because the game's on steam. Different theories and headcanons coexist and have coexisted for decades since this game's release. There has never been a "side" to pick, really. And most people within the base of Yume Nikki make and share their theories to get creative and have a good time, not start a competition of "which theory is right and which is wrong".
As everything within the game is highly ambigous and interpretative. There is not enough of anything to prove or disprove any theories out there. Shazam, exactly.Īlso, Yume Nikki isn't your FNAF or Undertale when it comes to theories. The manga is non-canon and is more like a fanfic than anything else. I don't understand why people have so much trouble deducing sex and age of a damn fictional character with an official manga.
