I found this game to be a slog while playing due to being an experimental experience far removed from the modern landscape of videogames where there is always a defined beggining and ending.
But after finishing it I thought for weeks about it; its imaginery; its nightmarish landscapes; its infinite interpretations perfectly justified due to the fact that dreams' meanings are never set in stone.
And then I realized, if I was in a fire, and I had to choose between Yume Nikki and the existence of like 90% of the AAA made in the last 15 years, I'd choose Yume Nikki.
