Ethereal.
Transient.
Infinite.

Gaming at its most pure and genuine.

I find it hard to properly write about Yume Nikki, it's an enigmatic masterclass in human artistic expression through an interactive medium. It defies all conventional knowledge of what games can and should be.

This game is so revolutionary it's no longer outside “the box”, it created its own box to reside in.

Seldom do I find much interest or motivation to explore this much in games but Yume Nikki reignites that passion for aimless exploration and childlike wonder.

There is a level of sincerity and brilliance to Yume Nikki one can never properly define and I feel it’s best to simply describe Yume Nikki as a game that is nearly impossible to explain and define through written word or spoken language, it is a game that one must experience for themselves and apply their own meaning to, if they can find one at all.
