The De Facto Surreal Indie Game Yume Nikki Goes 3D with YumeNikki -Dream Diary-

Yume Nikki, the definitive “WTF” game is getting a 3D remake. I am at a loss for words.

If you are a gamer, odds are you have heard about Yume Nikki, a surreal indie horror game designed by a developer who only goes by the name Kikiyama. The game was made with the popular RPG Maker engine, but unlike most RPG Maker games, Yume Nikki is not an RPG but instead an adventure game where players explore weird (and creepy) environments, collect items that grant powers, and just take in the scenery. Yume Nikki demonstrated that RPG Maker could be used to create more than just RPG games. Without Yume Nikki, popular RPG Maker horror games such as IbMad Father, and Ao Oni might never have been created.

The developers of RPG Maker, the Kadokawa Corporation, has teamed up with Kikiyama to create “a collaborative show of the utmost respect” known as YumeNikki -Dream Diary-. While we know little about the game, the screenshots on the game’s Steam page indicate it will likely be a 3D recreation of the original Yume Nikki, albeit with some key changes, including a perspective shift from a bird’s-eye view to 2.5D that will emphasize the scope of the game’s dreamscapes.

While I just said YumeNikki -Dream Diary- will be a 3D remake of Yume Nikki, that’s not entirely true. The Kadokawa Corporation promises the game will also include new, never before seen characters that either were scrapped from the original release or dreamt up for this new game. Uboa, the Toriningen, and Monoko are all terrifying enough; I shudder to think what other dream demons will populate Dream Diary.

If you are wondering if your computer is up to the task of playing YumeNikki -Dream Diary-, don’t worry, because the requirements are very lax. As long as you have an Intel Core i3 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 560, you will be fine, although the Kadokawa Corporation recommends an Intel Core i5, 8GB of RAM, and a GTX 770.

YumeNikki -Dream Diary- releases February 23rd for $19.99, but the original Yume Nikki is available for free on Steam.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
