[EDIT: There's an English version now, so this is outdated.]

 Kaikikai no Yume is a Yume Nikki fan game by multimedia artist mixel. Like many Japanese YNFGs, it remains untranslated—it's a newer one, after all. That's usually not an issue for us English-only players, though, given how limited the text tends to be in these. Kaikikai no Yume is an exception here. Of all the YNFGs I've played, this one is the most dialogue-dense by far, easily surpassing Motel Snooze in that regard. I think that's really cool, and love to see unique takes on the YNFG formula, but it does make it hard to play when you don't know Japanese—especially once puzzles get involved. Kaikikai no Yume isn't just dialogue-heavy, it's also puzzle-heavy, a feature that elevates the language barrier.

 So I didn't get to play as much as I'd have liked, but I can say for sure that it's worth looking into—especially if you can read Japanese. It's obvious from a glance that Kaikikai no Yume is Yume Nikki-inspired, but the actual art style is very uniquely mixel's. A mash of glitchy digital art, pixel illustrations, and photomanipulation give the game a strong surrealist and abstract bend, even in its most grounded moments. While I would have liked to explore more of its world, it didn't take long for me to start feeling like I was only getting half of the experience. If you think that barrier will be less of an issue for you, and you want a visually distinct YNFG, absolutely give this one a look.
