Truly a wonderful game! Someday made me change my mind about Yume Nikki fangames. What I thought would only be bad copys of the (masterpiece that is the) original game, but this fangame proved me wrong. It does not rely on the original YN universe and lore too much (though the nods are nice, such as the Madotsuki shirt logo as the windows start button), and instead focuses on developping it's own world. It obviously is not as good as Yume Nikki ( but I mean what could really), but I would place it second of the genre. I love Itsuki's various mind places, some are trully unique and original, and some are great references to other games/animes/whatever (Portal, the vaporwave culture, old internet, clockwork orange...)

I would even dare to say it does a few things better than the original Yume Nikki, by making more NPCs and objects related to effects, and by making more useful effects. Most effects are a bit easier to find than in Yume Nikki, but some are pretty tricky though, and if you're in for a challenge, the non mandatory "feats" that unlocks new menu layouts are hard as hel to find (only got 13 by the end...)

The game manages to stand out enought to be considered an individual piece of art, out of the Yume Nikki universe (aside from gameplay, that it...)

It even managed to make me feel VERY emotional sometimes (the school areas... so beautiful...)

As for the endings, they all are pretty nice, and with a significantly more important endgame part than Yume Nikki (The true ending is perfectly toned!)

So yeah. Good stuff, that I can recommend to all Yume Nikki fans. Thank you for reading that long-ass review, I kinda got overexcited ^^
