oncoming shitstorm of ideas for a game hold onto your hats

okay so, there's this guy, college dropout, around 20-25 and he works at an office and lives with him mom who has severe depression and mental issues so he has to take care of her. she phones him to come help her with basic tasks and to bring her medication and this phone comes into play in a lot of events throughout the story
the thing is, mister helps-his-mom guy is an insomniac and just pops one of his moms pills every once in a while to handle stress and to finally get to sleep after hours of lying awake in his bed, which, of course, the trippy as shit dream worlds come in. around half the story takes place outside the dream world, centered around his own psychological problems and his mom and sister who lives across town. there's actually a plot to this, so i don't know if you could call it a real yume nikki fan game. SHRUG.

the character himself is cynical and bitter, doesn't really know how to talk to people, etc
makes various snarky comments about his surroundings but mostly he's just "wtf is this shit"
