Cult Horror Game Yume Nikki Getting 3D Remake
Yume Nikki was assembled by one anonymous Japanese man using RPG Maker back in 2004, and released in the damp corner of a message board somewhere. Once the game was discovered, it went viral — first in Japan and then everywhere else when an English translation was built. Why? Yume Nikki is, simply put, one of the creepiest games ever made. The goal isn’t readily clear, nor the motive behind it. You play as a little girl who is confined to one room for unexplained reasons and ventures into her dreamworld every night. Within the dreams you just…basically wander around, exploring unsettling and somber environments scored by eerie synth. It was made all the creepier by the fact that no one knew who made it or why. The most infamous part of Yume Nikki takes the form of an easter egg. In the dreamworld, the girl will eventually run across a solitary house with a woman inside. The room has a light switch that can be turned off before exiting.
