6About Yume Nikki
An RPG Maker tour de force, and a divisively controversial work for fans.. You are free to explore the various dream worlds at your own pace. If you check certain characters or items in the game you will collect an “Effect”. These “Effects” can be used to change the main character’s appearance. Some of these “Effects” have special actions or animations which you can activate by pressing 1 or 3 on the number pad. Yume Nikki is a very unique title that has become one of the most well-known indie games to come out of Japan. It is unlike any other RPG, especially in the fact that there really is no action or dialogue to speak of. This gives the game a very dark and foreboding atmosphere. Can you make it to the secret ending? There are no particular goals nor story of which to speak. You simply walk around. . Checking certain characters inside the dream will increase the number of "Effects". . Using "Effects" will cause the main character's appearance to change. . (During this time, you can use the 1 or 3 keys to implement special movements and effects.) . Using the same "Effect" a second time will cause the character to revert to their original form. . "Effects" can only be discarded

Yume Nikki is a game that is better spent playing blind through
Yume Nikki is a game that is better spent playing blind through. If you are thinking of playing this game, DO NOT LOOK AT YOUTUBE FOR ANY HINTS. There is no losing the game, and there is no winning the game, but if you look at youtube, you will lose a lot of the thematic feel of the game. I REPEAT, DO NOT LOOK AT YOUTUBE OR ANY OTHER GUIDE. YOU WILL MISS OUT ON AN EXPERIENCE. Saying that, Yume Nikki is a interactive experience following a young woman's dreams. By sifting through her dreams, you may come to conclusions about the player character's life, or you may find yourself reflecting on events in your life. I heartily reccomend this game to those who like mystery and speculation.

Walking Before It Was Cool
Walking Before It Was Cool The release of this game on steam gives modern gamers a chance to look at how truly weird the world of Indie gaming was before Kickstarter, Early Access, and the rise of the AAA/Indie dichotomy. Yume Nikki, or Dream Journal in its native japanese, is, if it can be considered anything at all, a game about isolation. There is something existentially unnerving in it's unrelenting oddity, in the way the game provides a tutorial but explains nothing. Games like this just don't exist anymore, and maybe they never did. But there is something compelling and bold in its strangeness, and if any game could be held up as art, it would be this one. For the low price of nothing, it's certainly worth a look.
