I didnt think much of yume nikki myself. Im the type of guy that likes my mystery and be able of have them mostly solved. Yume nikki has little to none of that so i couldnt really get into it. It left me yerning of answers and i just chalked it up to not my style. After years of coaxing and a nitorad vid review, i decided to give yume 2ukki a try. The process to get it up and running was an ass and a half but got it going and spent at least 5 hours in. It was better than the first but i still had that yearning again only it just came through worse. I was going to let this game go and never touch it again untill i got here... This place, out of all was the most haunting, yet beautiful place iv been to yet. Enveloped in an air of nostalgia and mystery. Accompanied with the most bittersweet, melancholy melody, it was absolutely breathtaking. And that one lone cat person, sitting there... Who was he? What was his story? Did he lose some one? How is he now? If i used the glasses effect, all i needed to know was right there. That simple scene was so powerful, it didnt need words or fancy graphics to tell its story. It was a scene i was all too familiar with... This whole area, that one scene, that gorgeous simple melody was in perfect harmony. I spent an hour here, never wanting to leave. i felt welcome. I felt like i was home but at the same time, i didnt belong. A cemetary has no use for the living. But i wanted to be here. I NEEDED to be here... I didnt want this wave of emotion to end. It was a long forgotten, yet familiar emotion/feeling i had buried within me a long time ago and this simple level in an obscure game dug it straight up from the back of my heart. Needless to say, i cried. It transcended past just a simple level, past a simple game and became an experience. This became one of my fav levels in all of gaming and it taught me to instead of burying my emotions, experiences, bittersweet memories, cherish them. They shaped me into who i am today and remind me that i am still alive and others are not so i should live my life for all of us. I have one life, and i got that for free. I shouldn't waste it. That you yume 2ukki for simply existing. Thank you creator of this song extension. Ill be coming back periodically to listen to this so keep this up untill the end of time. Thanks nitrorad for recommending this.Thank you, the creator of this level and melody. I would be honored to shake your hand one day. You changed my life for the better. And thank you, Cat Cemetary for touching the back of my heart.
Initially, I made this loop for the sole purpose of personal convenience, as it was annoying to keep pressing the replay button every two minutes. Never would I've imagined that this insignificant choice of mine of looping an obscure song from an obscure game that I happened to enjoy would be so significant to another individual. I can't thank you enough for taking your time to share your life-changing experience. I must say, it has certainly changed my outlook on some things and I'll be eager to post more insignificant edits of god knows what in the future. Passionate people like you is what makes the world worth living in.
this was the first song I have discovered from this game and it introduced me to Yume 2kki and Yume Nikki to that extent it’s now my existential crisis theme song lol
