.Flow is a fangame of Yume Nikki with a higher focus on the horror aspect than the original. This leads to a much more gruesome aesthetic throughout the game, which in turn makes for quite a different experience. (The game even causes a weird glitch for me upon loading it for a few seconds each time adding to the creepiness factor)

Like Yume Nikki, the goal is to collect various effects throughout the dreamworlds. This time I found them to be quite a bit more difficult to locate, even needing to resort to a guide eventually in order to find the hardest ones. This doesn't drag on the game much, though there was definitely one that seemed a bit overboard and had some maze shenanigans here and there.

Overall, it's quite an exciting game that felt like an excellent experience if you like Yume Nikki. It is a lot more unsettling though so be aware of that.
