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
