July 2025

Finally got around to playing this, love the original game and been waiting to get my hands on this for a while now (its been a few years and never found a good chance), heard lots of mixed opinions on this game during that time, and after playing through it i understand why. So here's my (long) review! Its a complete shift of art-style, it literally going from 2D to 3D, so with that some changes in game play are inevitable. The original was mainly a walking sim, finding secrets and new paths to more dreams, personal fave, listening to the tunes, etc, which i love. This game holds onto that but adds a more puzzle-like game loop aspect, which i don't hate, but can be tricky to navigate. I can see people hating the constant back tracking and lack of hints for the items you find (especially since more often than not you use those items in other dreams and not the dream you found the item in), but i think that's rectified by the fact that this game is allot more linear compared to the original, with each dream (usually) having an end forcing you to wake up, compared to the originals constant looping maps. Plus the main point of the game that i love which is also true for the original, exploring every nook and cranny possible. So after inspecting everything possible its not too difficult to realize what can and should go where. And if you're truly stuck there's always walkthrough's to help you along, used some myself for the harder to find secrets/areas, i'm looking at you mall jellyfish >:( Plus, this game has allot more collectibles that also unlocks concept art which i absolutely love. I 100% this game in one sitting, achievements and all. (yes even the Yuki-onna Easter egg for that tiny drawing in the dream diary). All in all i would recommend this if you're looking for a unique Yume Nikki experience with a different coat of paint that still has the charm of the original.

July 2025

I think -Dream Diary- is a lot more enjoyable if you don't try to compare it entirely to the original Yume Nikki, but instead see it as something more akin to Little Nightmares, or a puzzle game with some horror elements.

May 2025

I loved Dream Diary, it had a lot of love poured into it to follow up on the original game but also change enough to be more than just a redesign. Do not go into this game expecting it to be a sequel or a remake to the original, it is first and foremost a puzzle game, but it does still retain aspects of the original as an exploration based collectathon. It's fun and has great music :)

April 2025

Its not AWFUL. People seem to REALLY hate this game but even as a YN fan before I played this I did not hate it. The reason why its hated is because usually YN fans dont like any other material being made even if nothing is official and only really approved by Kikiyama. But outside a YN stand point, it does lack in a few places. It is a bit fun for the puzzles and what not. And collecting the artworks is a pleasure. But it is quite janky to play esspecialy in the block world. Overall, if its on sale and you like YN/exploring games, then i'd say buy it. But if you don't and its not on sale, why bother?

Jan. 2025

Although I enjoyed the game overall and achieved 100% completion, this is a significantly different take on the beloved RPGMaker classic. I strongly recommend it if you're looking for more Yume Nikki content. Just don't expect a top-down remake of the original, and you'll have a great time!
