Yume Nikki ranks among my favorites of all time looking back after having played it for a number of years. What I adored about Yume Nikki was the music, worlds, and imaginative art direction all encompassing the themes of isolation. If the "Top 10 Scariest Video Games" and "Video Game Creepypastas" initially piqued my interest due to Uboa, I stayed for the atmosphere and the other unique oddities that make Yume Nikki stand out among other RPGMaker games; or even other video games outside of the RPGMaker space. Despite the fact that this game hasn't been updated in years, many developers who came after it dabbled in the same idea such as .Flow and Answered Prayers. And, there is even a fangame that is still being updated to this day by contributors called Yume 2kki and is forty times larger compared to Yume Nikki and I highly recommend if you end up liking Yume Nikki and want more to give the games I mentioned above a try. I absolutely love this game and I hope you decide to give it a chance too.
