I think the very first impression this game leaves isn't great - it makes you think the game is going to be something a little more 2edgy4me than it actually is.

As someone who has only played a small amount of Yume Nikki and its various fangames, this really kinda blew me away with how creative and inspired it was. The exploration feels really good! I like how the worlds are laid out, everything is hidden within another world and everything is interconnected. There's a lot of variety, and plenty of tiny diversions to keep you interested in exploring. The game even changes genres for brief moments, which I thought was cool. Overall, while Yume Nikki, Yume 2kki, and others didn't keep my attention, this kept me exploring and collecting all night.

edit: some of the secrets are in fact very edgy. still think the game is great on the whole though

muma rope should probably just be a standalone. it feels like a ynfg but not really; and in a good way. the gameplay is smooth and well designed. there aren't any large empty maps or annoying mazes. there's always something new every corner you turn, with varying artstyles and music. the worlds are very interconnected, making exploring super fun as you never really reach a dead end. the puzzles and unique game mechanics for many of the worlds make it all the more better to play, especially the puzzle chamber!

as a side note... i don't really get the complaints about the depictions of suicide or the game being "edgy" here. 1. the game has a content warning and 2. muma being able to just end it all in an instant like that feels like one of the most realistic depictions of depression ever LOL
