Urotsuki's face icon with no effect equipped Urotsuki (うろつき) is the main character in Yume 2kki. 5 Other Game Appearances and References.Yume Nikki: Dream Diary is out tomorrow morning, and can be bought direct from Playism (who localized it and the original freeware game), or Steam, although the former gets you a Steam key anyway. Not to say that there aren't some striking scenes in the trailer, but whether through intent or just a shortfall in budget, it looks authentically low-fi. This isn't a AAA high-budget reimagining, but rather feels like a natural switch up to the third dimension, direct from the chunky sprites of the original. Surprisingly, despite Kadokawa's backing, the game has a pointedly stiff look to it. These strange structures are populated with a significantly more menacing breed of creatures as well, some of which look overtly hostile.Īll in all, I don't think the poor girl is doing too well. This new game has a much more overtly horrific feel to it, with Madotsuki's dreams having shifted somewhat from the abstract and nonsensical (although those are still present and correct) to the grimly realistic, full of worn-down hallways and crumbling urban environments.
While deeply surreal and occasionally sinister in tone, the original never felt violent. The launch trailer feels somewhat darker than the original game. While I'll not spoil the specifics for anyone who hasn't worked their way through the original ( which is free on Steam), the teaser does strongly imply that this new game is a direct sequel, as opposed to some sort of remake or reimagining. This new trailer comes only a few days after the release of a short prologue teaser. Accompanying this news is a rather unsettling trailer, painting a somewhat darker picture of protagonist Madotsuki's dreams than anything we saw first time round. Sneaking up on us like a particularly unsettling memory of a nightmare, Yume Nikki: Dream Diary is less than a day from release.
Time flies, eh? It feels like just a month ago that Japanese media conglomerate Kadokawa announced a successor to minimalist indie adventure Yume Nikki, working in close collaboration with Kikiyama, mysterious developer of the original game, and it's almost here already.
