Okay, so, I'll start with saying that this is a very important and intimate thing for me. Yume Nikki was, is, and will always be a big part of my personal development, so I'll try to make this as short and less revealing as possible.

BUT.

The one that Dream Diary rises is a point that, if intended by the authors, I really like.

Dream Diary is, basically, what Yume Nikki would be without its artistic components, as in, the side that many criticized about it.

I took this project as a declaration like this :

" Ah, is that so? You wanted a YN with a plot? With a gameplay, a logical sense, an objective, a boss to battle and achievements to unlock? Well, here it is. This is Yume Nikki as the haters wanted it to be.

See how plain and flat it is? "

Mind my words, this is not because YN can't be a traditional game. If you play Dream Diary without knowing what it is you'll get a very interesting and intertaining "traditional game".

But Yume Nikki is NOT a game. It never was and never wanted to be one. Yume Nikki is an EXPERIENCE. A different media, something you have to LIVE and UNDERSTAND. Something where plot, bosses, gameplay and achievements are not needed. Yume Nikki is just something else.

But if you don't get it, okay, buy Dream Diary and have your standard game.

You'll never know what a journey you missed
