LCDDEM | Yume Nisshi | Answered Prayers - Nitro Rad 

lcd dem was, if I remember correctly, actually never properly finished. koronba had actually posted online essentially pleading with people to just forget the game had ever existed. no one had found the reason for this, however. lcd dem was also one of the most lonely fangames i think i had ever played. whether this was intentional or just because more npcs weren't added, that's unknown as well. nice video nitro! :)

Without Yume Nikki we wouldn't have LISA. Just throwin that out there.

The picture at 10:24 seems related to the Egyptian myth of Ra and Nut, where the sun god (Ra) travels through the sky to be eaten by Nut (the sky), which ends the day, only to be reborn in the next morning.

"And Lo the Lord said Thou Shalt Play Gameboy."

Reasons to love Nitro: The amount of indie games he covers That beard That voice That Wally head in the background (which i am jelly of) That humor He's Nitro, How do you not love him

5:45 this scene is even sadder cuz she tries to pinch her cheek thinking "it's just a dream snap out of it" and it doesn't work

That parasyte reference at 5:00 though

Man, the story of Nisshi never being finished makes me so sad. It's like being invested in a book only to have it stop halfway through.

I gotta say, I really like the aesthetics on LCDDEM. It's like Yume Nikki but more faded, more peaceful even. It fits with the tranquil vibe.

Unless I'm completely stupid 10:26 seems to be a mural of the Egyptian goddess Nut, with the Ra's sky ship sailing on the umbilicus connecting to her mouth to form the cycle of night and day.

Man I really wish he do this fangames review again. There are a lot of great fangames that have come out over the past few years like Yuque, Withers, Re:In and MoonlessL

I've just recently played a Yume Nikki fangame called Fleshchild and I think it's become one of my favourites. There's a solid portion of the game (namely the alleged "real" world) that is very different in gameplay in contrast to the original. The game is still in beta but was just updated early last year.

How could you be unimpressed by Chie's design? It's literally just a child version of Chie from Persona 4

usosuki being more violent in dreams makes sense to me, i’ve had a lot of post-trauma dreams that at some point have me violently attacking someone and their mangled body eventually getting up and chasing me

The bat with nails is a reference to japanese deliquent culture, being used as a weapon by deliquent schoolkids. The bat usually has the nails being hammered into it with no directly sharp points, only the nail heads, to cause harm.

" according to flurettes religion , god really likes game boy idk " haha lmao

the stories of these creator of Yume nikki fan games, sound like belongs from a Creepy Pasta

when he said migi I couldn't help but laugh, mainly because it was so unexpected

10:23 I think that's a reference to Nut, the Egyptian goddess of the sky.

Wally from LISA is in the background.... LARGE FRIES BROTHA, LARGE FRIES

Looking at the comment section, I am quite surpised no one got the reference to Parasite - the maxim - he made.

did someone say YN fangames 'cause i love them. so one thing for them is that i don't strictly consider them 'horror games', yeah they branched off of a game that could be considered 'psychological horror' but the main point is exploring the subconscious of the protagonists so they vary greatly. personally my overall favorite is Nisshi, it has neat features and for me it's the closest to the original YN experience but managing to be its own thing and not making the mistakes that various other do like: put blood everywhere, have empty as fuck worlds when they're not direct copies of the original YN maps (coughcoughgraffityworldcoughcough), make ear-piercing sound loops, sprinke a lil' bit of stuff that actually tells you something about the protagonist and don't forget the annoying as hell maze full of chasers. as for LcdDem it actually does have step sounds, maybe it was a problem with the Locale. ok, that's all i gotta say, real sorry for the wall of text :V

Two things I discovered Nishi released with an update two years ago and the creator of answered prayers did a developer commentary of the game on their RU-vid channel

Brady in his 60 FPS glory. So beautiful.

Best thing about LCDDEM is the music, good job covering it. Never bothered with Answered Prayers, seems I largely made the right choice. 15:25 couldn't share your sentiment more. Lolrust really does care for it, even when working on another game he updates .Flow and occasionally even makes art of it he shares around.

Literally all of the sound effects you listed as missing from LCDDEM are in the game. I think your audio is messed up.

5:43 oh no she tried to pinch her cheek to wake up but its real... q.q

I far as I know this is the only video that review lcddem

"MIGI"

Love the video man! and i loooove these games! also that parasyte reference XD 10:27 i think that painting on the wall is a reference to madotsuki's shirt.

I hear that underwater settlement OST at the start of the video, my favorite track from .flow ❤️

Lcddem lucid dream a controllable dream so it makes sense that it isn't that creepy in dream world

OMFG YES YUME 2KKI WILL BE NEXT! THANK YOU!!! :D

THE FUCKING PARASYTE REFERENCE! OH MY GOD YOU ARE THE BEST

"Interpreter it however you want" That's just Nut, an Egyptian goddess and Geb's wife.

"created a effect that would last a centuries" nitro rad 3016 hi guys this is the last fangame

It'd be awesome if you covered more fan games like this! I love the amount of effort and detail you went into these game with!

i dunno about you but the thumbnail is best explained with the title "The Holy Trinity of YM Fangames"

considering that most people see chie as a little girl (7-12 at most), i think the creator just took Chie Satonaka and Nanako Dojima from persona 4 and tossed em into a blender

sucks that such a great 3 games are still unfinished

8:04 "this girl" "his room" so what is the truth

I'm happy to see someone finally talk about these games, I mean even yume nikki gets very little attention by people who want to discuss games...

gotta love a good parasyte reference

I honestly think Flourette's God edits the Spirit World by being up to date with humans.

I'm glad you do these. Some of these RPG maker horror indie games can be something very special. Though there are many to wade through to find them. Thanks for helping us find the diamonds in the mud pile. ✌️😎👍

hey this is completely unrelated to the video but im studying japanese right now (hiragana specifically) and i noticed that usotsuki was a name that i could actually read and write on my own with knowledge i already had and seeing it on screen and reading it before seeing it revealed to be a word in english made me feel really cool

11:00 if you listen to the music it sound familiar to a part of "Owen Was Her" a song in Touhou.

You finally did that thing I told you to do back when you made the .flow video! Fantastic! Love ya Nitro.

Hey bud! Great video, I'm always excited when you release Yume Nikki related content. You don't get too caught up in bashing a game simply for comedic effect, and I find that refreshing. If I had to give some criticism, I'd say you could still sharpen up your writing a bit. Some of your wording strikes me as a bit awkward, such as when you use the word "weird" several times in a few sentences. Also, some of your captions are so quick I have to try to pause the video several times to read them. If you want the audience to read something, you should let it sit for at least a few seconds. Keep up the good work!

I think the pure aesthetic alone of Answered Prayers really gives it an edge over other fan games. Its creator is very clearly a gifted character designer, with Fluorette being one of their more note worthy designs. She has a very Touhou look to her in that she's designed to look both complex and simple at the same time. I'm gonna have to agree with you though. The maze in it is pretty awful.

Dude you DESERVE more subs your content is amazing so thats why i subbed! ^-^

Good shit. I'm glad to see Answered Prayers getting some love and fair criticism.

Shit man you almost gave me a heart attack from that body horror XD

i love how he just flat out calls the girl from luciddream chie

10:30 Hey a reference to Egyptian Mythology! The bending woman is the goddess Nut and the boat with the circle is the sun god Ra sailing on his barque. I think I've read somewhere that the journey of the sun in ancient Egyptian belief was likened to Ra going inside a mouth and going through a long channel (intestines?). But I still dunno why the picture's there in the first place. Been a long time since I played YN fangames so

Hahaha i'm not a fan oof parasyte but that migi reference was pretty funny

7:30 you were actually pretty close, good job on pronouncing those names

10:24 looks a lot like the Egyptian goddess, Nut, who is supposed to represent the night sky.

the reason why koronba took down the lcddem website (and all of his social media) is because attention ruined his mental health. i’m a huge fan of his music and even though i was never actually there when he was active (i only discovered him last year) i read about what happened. it’s theorized that he committed suicide after one of his songs “.” (also known as jellyfish) got popular. i might be in the wrong here but if anybody in here knows more about koronba you can correct me if i’m wrong

Thank you for these videos.

that kiseijuu reference tho... I just love your references my dude

I nearly jumped off my seat when (spoilers) when Brady showed up and started punching James while wearing a chicken hat.

Yume Nisshi got an update this year, v0.05

Answered Prayers Is Probably My Favorite Out Of The Three.

I highly recommend the game "yuque" .It creates a very unique atmosphere just like when you are playing yumenikki

OHOHOHOHOHOH THAT IMAGE I RECOGNIZE! the women in the background was "nut" she is a egyptian god who streches over the sky, creating the sky, every night nut eats "ra" (hes basically the sun) and then at day time she empregnates him, to which its day! I was really surprised when you shown that because, woah thats really cool!

The thumbnail is art. I will not change my mind

IIRC Koronba either died or simply disappeared off the internet due to his fear of popularity, so it seems that LCDDEM may never be worked on further

the missing footsteps in lcd dem is actually a bug that can be easily fixed

ahhh yume nisshi was the one made by the crazy guy that really needed to just relax and make things.

yume nikki AND nitro rad? 3 times?! its christmas!

The best kind of weird is when the show up in places they don't belong, that's why they're so effective in Zelda games and the eels in Mario 64.

8:33 Derek Riggs artist who created Eddie The Head. The mascot of band... Iron Maiden. This is one possible connection.

Nitrorad could you let st a top ten from least scary to scariest fan games of yume Nikki you've played so far including the original on that list

4:58 HA! Nice reference to Parasyte: The Maxim! That was a really good series

0:47 "Rather There wasn't anything elese like it." LSD Dream Emulator: Are you sure about that?

😂 the parasyte reference was amazing

10:24 that picture is actually an egyptian goddes. the egyptian used to believe that she used to cover the sky making the night.

definitely didn't jump at the surprise brady appearance as im getting ready for sleep, no no no.

Yes Mom!!!! Good video, Mom!!! Keep it up mommy!!!

I may be wrong, but that picture from Yume Nisshi with a woman standing on her all fours might be an illustration of one of the moments from Egyptian mythology

Love the video man! and i loooove these games! also that parasyte reference XD 10:27 i think that painting on the wall is a reference to madotsuki's shirt. original coment100%

Pleeeeeease make a video on a Dream Graffiti! P.s. Great job on the vids, I'm so glad that someone out there is making videos on these great games :)

Were did you downloaded the games? Especially LCDDEM New subscriber

Chie's design just reminds me of Chie Satonaka when she was a kid

*waits patiently for the Q&A*

If you ever do any more Yume Nikki fangames (PLEASE DO, because they're some of my favorite videos on your channel) then I thought it might be cool if you did The Looking Glass, Ultra Violet, and Yume Delusion (Also called "Dreams, Delusions After All") Aside from my suggestions, I just wanted to mention that lol is my absolute FAVORITE Yume Nikki fangame developer, and it's not just because he made one of my two favorite fangames (the other being 2kki).

10:21 reminds me a lot of the goddess nut/nuit, basically the egyptian god interpretation of heaven, she births and eats the sun everyday, and is portrayed in the same pose

Yume Nisshi got updated yesterday

10:25 looks like a revision of the egyptic deity of the sky with her husband missing holding her up.

"Uh uh I ain't having that hm hmm!"

Being part of the RPG Maker community in the past, this is the problem with a lot of projects - so many have promise but go unfinished.

Brady at the end legit scared me.

Only you Nitrorad would have me clicking on something that looks like it is jibberish(the title) and still got me expecting a good video. Thumbs up.

take a shot everytime Nitro says "weird".

lmao before you said her name was chie, i thought she looked exactly like chie from persona 4.

10:21 for those interested that is NUT, an Egyptian goddess, and she is almost always drawn as a naked woman in an arch over the nile

That image that you mentioned is the sky, I say this based on the Egyptian Gods, where the sky was a goddess named Nut and has that same position. she is related with her husband Geb the god of the earth.

4:56 had me laughing so hard I had to pause the video and write this comment

I think we should find a way to convert Yume Nikki clones into a food source. The sheer amount of them could end world hunger.
