The main objective of the game is to explore the vast, expansive, and intertwining confines of Madotsuki’s nonsense world for dream people in order to find effects, abilities that allow for the young woman to transform herself in a variety of ways, such as gaining a bike, a new outfit, a couple dozen kilograms, a knife, or becoming a ghost. From the intricate details of the story, the symbolism, and any greater meaning any of this might hold, to the gameplay itself, which consists of wandering and… little else. You see, Yume Nikki is a very hands off experience that tasks the players with figuring just about everything out for themselves. Or at least I think that is the story that is being explored here.
Yume Nikki is a surrealist adventure game that centers around Madotsuki, a hikikomori who confined themselves to their room, isolating themselves from the outside world and choosing to spend their time sleeping in order to explore the full confines of their dreams. Curious, I checked the title out and, well, let’s just say that I came away a little disappointed. Yume Nikki is a cult classic RPG maker title originally released in 2004 that had quite the heyday upon its original release, yet it came out in a time when I was hardly following the game industry as closely as I am now, and as such, flew under my radar, only to eventually stumble onto it after the game suddenly found its way on Steam.
