Yeah, that's probably the most influencial horror rpg and a staple in indie horror. It's hard to find any scary/surreal indie that doesn't take inspiration from yume nikki. Like even something as different as DDLC was partly inspired by yume nikki, that says quite a lot about it's influence and cultural impact.
Nah it's a cult classic and people will keep coming back to it forever, therss been like 5 new blind playthroughs started just this week. The only issue is because everything's been discovered, no no content will probably come, and it's been said to not have any real written lore, there's unfortunately nothing new to say about yume nikki anymore, it will just be the same talking points repeated by different people.
rare to find anything thats horror anything that isnt just a few hours of dead silence then the loudest noise the universe has heard since the big bang ((im just assuming that shit was loud if we're still getting reverb/feedback from it))
I once had a dream that I was in an alternate universe, for about three months. No joke I thought it was my real life, and no one would believe that I was in the wrong place and time. Eventually I snapped and went on a killing spree behind the wheel of a van. It all felt so real, and it honestly turned me off to dreams in general. Over time it's only gotten more graphic, but thankfully not as long lasting
Y'know, you can tell a lot about a content creator by the way they handle the inevitable Yume Nikki video. This video tells me that you're very thorough with your research, are willing to engage with different interpretations of things, and have a good sense of humor! If I weren't already subscribed (I stumbled on the Shipwrecked 64 video by chance and you've had me hooked ever since) I'd definitely subscribe for this
It's been many many years since I last saw anything about specifically about yume Niki, however, some of the worlds in this game share a striking resemblance to some in Omori, which is clearly an inspiration from this game. It's so cool that one random game, which could just as easily not ever been noticed, influenced so many other games, even to this day.
Congrats on 10k!! Yume Nikki is my fav rpgmaker game, played it in my teens and it affected my taste in media quite a bit, since I've started to gravitate towards more surreal and quiet stuff rather than quick-paced and plot-focused Never really got into the theory crafting part of it all tho, I just enjoyed the game for what it is on the surface, felt very relaxing and comforting, and now you can add nostalgic on top of that Yume Nikki fangames are also such gems, I still adore Fleshchild even tho it was abandoned Pixel art is incredible
You don’t know my shock seeing this with less than 1k views. (Even though it was uploaded recently lmao) I haven’t seen your channel before but it seems very underrated to me, definitely subbing :] keep up the great work
i first found Yume Nikki when i was just a kid and it was the game that convinced me video games can be art. it was instrumental to my development and meant a lot to me and many others i'm sure.
i love yume nikki but i like .flow more and that would make for a really good sequel video or just another video about one of the many other super interesting rpg maker games
Funny enough I've only percieved a long period of time in a dream once. I vivdly remember a few years ago the apocalypse happening in one of my dreams, and for a solid 3 years straight I was just surviving on my own, started a family, and even got a dog in that time. When I eventually did wake up I sat there dumbfounded like "Wheres my dog, wheres my fucking wife-" and actually grew sad after realizing it was all just a dream. Shits wild I tell ya that
0:27 onto this i want to add that theres a web browser version called Yume Nikki Online Project where you can also play it for free and various other yume nikki fangames for free whitout downloads. While yes its an online version of these games you can disable both the people and chat so it gives off more of the original experience! Hell you can even play it on a phone of you want so yeah good stuf :]
I didn't even notice haha! Her name was the only one that I really looked into how to pronounce because I knew it'd be the name that I'd be saying the most
46:00 tiny fun fact: it's funny enough because there is actually a rare disability known as Dwarfism, which, the name obviously, means someone that is short-statured and is a dwarf in real life (short arms, legs, hands, feet, etc), that normally range 4 ft. tall or even smaller or taller in some cases, despite of age. The arm span can also be irregular sometimes where one arm's reach might be smaller than the other. They hardly ever grow in height or take an extremely slow time growing. Sometimes, with this disability, it can be paired with others genetic-like disorders like Spina Bifida (SB), Diastrophic Dysplasia (DTD), or Achondroplasia (ACH) and sometimes can make them disabled in some cases. As a person that has Dwarfism, disabled, and a few of these disorders, I don't take the label "Dwarf" offensive because it's literally just who I am! I might take offensive to the word "mid--t" but I digress! Lovely work on the vid Wolfram, I love the structure of it!! :DDD
yeah, I've known a few other people with dwarfism and they all also seemed to really dislike the word so I went into some research and found that to be a very common opinion and thought it'd be best to just replace the actual effect title
@@1AMWolfram I get it! It's not everyone's cup of tea being called dwarf or the latter. Having a label over ya and being called it is a bit disorienting, haha ^^;
@@MacronsKitten yeah I know, but if I come across let's say an 8 yr old who says they're trans/nonbinary I'm questioning the parents. There's a 7 yr old nonbinary VA for the owl house, ain't no way a 7 yr woke up one day and decided he was nonbinary
‘im questioning the parents’ you sound like someone who thinks trans people are grooming kids into being trans, like genuinely what IS the issue with a kid going ‘actually, maybe im trans’ like give me an ACTUAL reason on what the issue with that is.
Yume Nikki alongside OFF is, like, 50% the reason we have UnderTale, one of the best, most influential games ever made.
OFF is definitely another title that I need to talk about! I listen to the soundtrack alot but have never actually played the game itself
@@1AMWolfram If the videos of yours I saw are anything to go by, I think you'll like quite a few RPG Maker games.
Fun Fact: metal gear solid was also a pretty big influence for Toby Fox to make Undertale a Metafictional game
Yume Nikki has inspired many indie devs over the years and deserves the praise it gets. It's a shame not many people talk about it anymore.

Yume Nikki was my first exposure to horror that wasn't just jumpscares or a simple monster/killer

This is funny because just yesterday i was thinking “wow wouldn’t it be so nice if this person covered Yume Nikki”
Seeing this video genuinely made me happy. It's amazing that people are still this interested in Yume Nikki!
yayyyy new wolfram video, watching in bed as i get ready to sleep at a time when normal people wake up lol

Great video, never heard the theory about the twins/deformity thing before, but really like that interpretation
DAMN, why don't u have more views? This is so fun to watch, entertaining and good edited

"Piss...*Cat owner noises*...PissiPissini?"
Literally my favourite game of all time this made me so happy
i love yume nikki but i like .flow more and that would make for a really good sequel video
or just another video about one of the many other super interesting rpg maker games
wait Wolfram is 5'3? they can't deny it any longer! They are smol
Fantastic video! Yume Nikki is one of my favourite RPG Maker games together with some of its fan games like Yume 2kki.
Cats are cute, no reason to be afraid of them
rlly good video !!!! now i patiently wait 4 a video like this 4 yume 2kki that actually covers its endings,,,
you have such good taste in games
If you made the sweater in the thumbnail real merch I'd buy that shit immediately, looks super comfy
Correction regarding sleepwalking: you ARE meant to wake someone up, they can be distressed yes but doing so prevents dangerous behavior whilst asleep
Currently my favorite game that I'm obsessed with
21:38 reminds me of that claymation baby thing from courage the cowardly dog (i think when hes in a puddle or a tub or something like that)
Funny enough I've only percieved a long period of time in a dream once.

My favorite game is OMORI, and MAN this game is SO similar to it, I definitely see how it was inspired by yume nikki
This stuff slaps
0:27 onto this i want to add that theres a web browser version called Yume Nikki Online Project where you can also play it for free and various other yume nikki fangames for free whitout downloads.

YUME NIKKI!!!!!!!
god i love the game, the sound track is such a good sleep track (to me at least :3)
you pronounce madotsuki's name - and ONLY that name, none of the other japanese names - with a THICK tokyo accent. it's so funny to me 😆
I didn't even notice haha! Her name was the only one that I really looked into how to pronounce because I knew it'd be the name that I'd be saying the most
Now we wait for the 2kki video
you covered my top two favorite games back to back what the heck
SOMEONE MADE A VIDEO ABOUT IT LETS GOOOOooo
There’s lots actually
Wish I had the time to watch this completely, only saw it just as I'm heading to work!
still waiting for the silent hill homecoming video...
PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON SPEC OPS: THE LINE
If you liked Yume Nikki you should definitely try out Witch’s Heart. I also only just realized I’m saying this with a Witch’s Heart pfp
Will you ever cover yume 2kki or is that off the table bc it’s a fan game?

You ever think about covering the 3D remake?
the 3D remake sucks
I love rpg maker horror!!!
time to watch another PEAK vid
The trans reading while i think is very unlikly has always been my favourite interpretation
Great video ::3
NEW UPLOAD YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH'
interpretated lol
i like how you combinated
29:22 Is that the game of life!?
17:30 isnt she a child tho?
hi friend

Insert "[X] views in [Y] seconds, [Z] fell off" joke here
You're trying to hard to be funny
@@xaan7458 :(
I'm not comfortable referring to a possible child as trans, nonbinary etc. if Madotsuki became a guy when she (he) was much older, that's fine
are you aware that being trans isnt age-gated
@@MacronsKitten yeah I know, but if I come across let's say an 8 yr old who says they're trans/nonbinary I'm questioning the parents. There's a 7 yr old nonbinary VA for the owl house, ain't no way a 7 yr woke up one day and decided he was nonbinary
@@Forgottensnapdragon ive known i was trans since like 8 :S gender isnt exclusively environmental
@@MacronsKitten Pretty young age to be knowing what all that is and saying you're trans, hope you weren't groomed or anything.
‘im questioning the parents’ you sound like someone who thinks trans people are grooming kids into being trans, like genuinely what IS the issue with a kid going ‘actually, maybe im trans’ like give me an ACTUAL reason on what the issue with that is.
Man, I can't wait to see if you try .flow (or dotflow) now. It's... different. feels a bit more nightmarish, and desolate.
