It's important to note two things. This game doesn't feel like Yume Nikki, which is far from being a bad thing. YumeNikki -Dream Diary- feels like a game of its own, different. Taking clear reference, ideas and concepts from the original Yume Nikki and showing us its own interpretation and perspective. If you play this game thinking its a remaster, you will be disappointed, hence the multiple bad reviews. With both things in mind, if you liked the previous, you will enjoy this one.

It's a unique reimagine of the original game Yume Nikki into 3D. Think of it as a game that references the original game idea, instead of a direct 3D adaptation of the original. Recommended for those who want a mild horror game that got the atmosphere. The good: 1. it has some story telling now 2. the puzzles are pretty fun to figure out 3. many iconic events from the original game 4. some jumpscares are actually scary The bad: 1. Some puzzles require certain ability or item from other doors, and are not obvious. and 2. Revisiting places can take a long time due to the linearity from the story telling (sometimes required for puzzle) 3. The fixed camera angle is bad for many platforming parts especially the hide and seek in block world Some things to take note of: 1. Some maps and abilities from the original game did not make it into this game. 2. Does not play/feel like the original game.

Good for newcomers, yet they also deserve an explanation of what happened to this game: Yes, like others have said, the remake has less maps and effects than the original, because they were going to be introduced with future patches, yet the massive hatred it got made the devs finish development earlier than expected, so the community got what it asked for, essentially. I don't see anyone mentioning any of the next points, which have to taken into consideration to understand the full picture: First, the original was, artistically, massively inspired by LSD Dream Emulator, and this remake has shed most of that, which adds to this game feeling like a completely different one. But the lack of post-launch content and new Kikiyama games is entirely the community's fault, it's time to be honest after so many years, now that the dust has settled. Now, here's some history: I played the original in 2009 and have been part of its community (Uboachan, even) since I was 9, and I've grown up in it. The controversy happened partially because the original's nonlinear and ambiguous lore helped form a community around bizarre theories and mental health struggles, which inevitably forms a personal emotional attachment to the game that will make many people defend their idea of the original game to death, which in this case of development hell, ended up being counterproductive. However, if you research, you'll find that Kikiyama, the anonymous creator, declared that this is more aligned to her original vision of the original game. This, of course, will always clash with people's assumptions about what the real game was about, even though the real one already had repeated subtle references to repeated CSA, female bullying, body dysmorphia caused by both, other highly distressing female horrors + the fear of being persecuted, watched or judged or even blamed by society (especially in the context of Japan around the early 80s, which is when the game is allegedly set due to the Famicom and its maps in the original game) for having been assaulted as a kid. These are themes already seen in other old horror games, however as I said, due to the subtle nature of the original one, some people projected their personal issues onto the original lore, so 'disgracing' Yume Nikki by making a 'completely different game' was like attacking some people personally. Other people were happy to at least get some new (and final) Yume Nikki content, and others, despite not liking it as much, wanted to support the creator, yet they were the least heard voices in the fandom. Next. The worst part of all of this? Kikiyama once stated that Madotsuki's story has always been based on 'someone's' real life story, never stating if it was her own, a sister's if she has any, a close friend's or someone else's, which adds real haunting horror to what's going on here. And we all know how this game ends, which makes things worse. If you want to support Kikiyama herself, buying the game and Steam Trading Cards earns the creators money. She deserves it, not only for explaining a victim's story as anonymously as possible, but because without Yume Nikki, there would be no indie RPG Maker community as we know it, there would be no Undertale or other beloved indie RPGs or subtle references to Yume Nikki in bigger games, and Toby Fox's career would be much different than it is. Another last unfortunate fact, Kikiyama also mentioned in the interview that she wanted to make more games, but after what happened I doubt someone like her is going to return to the internet, especially if she's around her 50s or 60s now, and it's also unlikely that she will release anything else after being demoralised that much. This was also made with very few money, as the original was a free game, and this is the only way for Kikiyama to monetize her only work that, again, honors a real person's story that we don't know whether she successfully left this world or not, so Kadokawa's very unlikely to approve any investment on her projects now.

I really found this game really entertaining. Tho.. I highly recommend to play while considering this as something that's not canon and just as a WHOLE NEW THING from the original game. The game also looks incomplete and full of potential wasted but it's still enjoyable
