a translation of yume nikki (and LSDDE to some extent) into the game language of Super Mario 64.
yume nikki uses effects to guide and encourage the player to explore and find new areas, while B3313 in theory uses the stars, but in practice, everyone just wants to jump around and see weird shit.
the stars are usually very boring and easy or not intuitive at all, but i can't really see a version of the game in which they don't exist so i can't really complain.
the areas themselves are perfectly uncanny, resembling the real game so much that the changes feel uncomfortable at times. the biggest highlights to me are the different versions of peach's castle (aka the main hub), like the "demo" version, that looks amazing.
i'll also praise the soundtrack, the original songs are amazing and Dry Town is very beautiful and foreboding.

overall, it's a neat little thing but for it to reach its full potential there needs some work.

note: i have only played 0.7, not 1.0, but i'll watch the vinesauce vid for that -_-
