finally spent a couple hours playing today, and i'm stunned at the amount of quality content already in the demo! Yume Nikki is very close to my heart; between this game and Margin, i'm very happy to see wonderful new projects carrying on a niche 2004 indie game's legacy! ^^
This game straight up replaced yume 2kki as a go-to relaxation game for me and that says a lot... I would normally write a long feedback stye review as Im a game dev myself but I've sunk into ur game really bad and I just wanted to let you know how special the experience was for me. I felt something while playing which definitely doesnt happen too often and even tho I wasnt sure about the idea at first I loved the way you wrote dialogues and got hooked. I paid attention to all the lore and I think I got the gist of it but it wasnt easy as everything is scattered across all those beautiful worlds... A notebook or something with all those lore entries would be great (maybe it's in the game and I just havent found it yet tho). I also kinda kept forgetting all the chests and doors I couldnt open and had to leave them behind so maybe something like yume 2kki world explorer with locations you already visited would be cool? I have no idea but you can count me in as an early bird :) Thank you for making this! It inspired the hell out of me... And good luck with your work!
Aww thank you so much <3 I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Replacing yume 2kki is incredibly high praise wow.
Also, there are notebook esque items you can find to keep track of the lore! There's an item in Oracle Machine world (red/pink area) that records whispering monolith excerpts, and there's a similar item for recording lore in the Sunless Garden (green area.) I'm planning to add more of these for the other worlds as well :p
I really liked the atmosphere and the soundtrack. The game reminds me of Hyper Light Drifter. I love the pixel art in this game. To be honest, I didn't understand anything about this game, maybe I'm just so stupid and I have problems with English. I think I'll keep playing.
Ahaha thank you, no you're not stupid at all it's a difficult game to understand. I'm trying to create a distinct world and I use a *lot* of original words to describe new concepts. All of the words have meaning, but you won't be able to immediately know what's going on because of that. You'll pick up clues and context as you explore, slowly learning more about the world around you, its history, and how it operates.

This game feel like I should always be whispering with echo on kinda game but unfortunately it broke my audio when I did that.

the smell of underrated is strong on this one
I don't know if this was addressed yet, but there's a bug where text/scenes are repeated on loop without end, causing me to have to reopen the game
I love the style of the game tho, looks really promising :3
I came from reddit! Can't wait to try the beta out.
Aw thank you! Hope you like it <3
