I finally got a hold of the English version of Yume Nikki. What's Yume Nikki? It's a freeware game about a girl who sleeps a crapload and has extremely disturbing dreams that you get to explore to your heart's content. Or your mind's limit, whichever breaks first.

Yes, good ol' Nire is a masochist of atmospheric games (oh Eversion, how could we forget you?). It doesn't help that it's a game about dreams, a subject which fascinates me to no end. I've seen a "Let's Play" of it, but I barely remember any of it, so I'm basically flying blind. If I turn up on a sanitarium's doorstep one night as a jibbering husk of my former self, this game will probably be to blame.

That said, I love the damn thing. XD

The only problem is that it's a very dark game - visually, that is (though obviously in tone as well). My old monitor is at full brightness, and I can just barely see some levels. I finally got around to ordering a new one, so hopefully that'll fix it. And I'll be able to play about ten other really dark games that have been sitting around on my hard drive collecting cyber-dust.

You might see some fanarts pop up, too. XD
