Leaves a ton of space for your imagination to run wild in which is likely why so many people have vastly different experiences with this game. When so much is left up to interpretation, your brain can't help but fill in the lines itself.

My personal experience with the game is one of feeling incredibly isolated and displaced within the world while also being comforted by an abstract warmth, almost as if I am being hugged by a childhood friend with whom I had lost all communication with but who's memory has lived within myself and shielded me in ways over the years that I've never been cognizant of.

I now understand why a common joke is that Yume Nikki's biggest fans are all schizophrenic.
