The fanmade sequel to Yume Nikki. Is Yume 2kki worthy of being called a successor? Nitro Rad on facebook: / nitroradofficial Yume 2kki Download - yume2kki.wikia.... HOW MAKE GAME WORK - • RPG Maker Game Trouble...
Can you imagine making a little game by yourself and then a massive group of fans come together to make a huge awesome fangame like this. That must be so gratifying.
Funny thing. Even after all this time, Y2kki is STILL BEING UPDATED. You thought it was big then? You thought you'd experienced all you could possibly see? Well it's probably like twice the size now, go play it.
As someone who just started playing very recently, there's SO MANY things to do and so many places to see. So far has spent like 12 hours on it and I'm planning to spend more in the future
...It's for this reason alone that I wish Nitrorad did a revisit of 2kki. ...Well, that, and YNO project. Especially with Collective Unconscious coming soon.
Im disappointed that you didnt mention Wataru's easter eggs in his downright UNGODLY maps, I would even say that they are some of the best maps I have EVER seen in ANY video game!
And it's still being updated til' now. About playing with friends, I only did with my first GF, after that, all of my friends and subsequent girlfriends thought this kind of games were boring, I feel your pain..
(Nitro Rad starts discussing about dreams and how they are to us: the audience) Well, unfortunately for me, I rarely even dream anymore. I used to have the same repeating nightmares of a strange being known as "Front Row" that looks like a person, emerges from any form of electronic screen (computer monitors, TVs, Phones) and if it sees you, you're dead instantly. It was really fast in the dreams and I struggled to outrun it with it usually either showing up as a TV programme at a certain time or a program / app on the computer / phone (usually in the form of a virus, since it re-opens the same program / app if you attempt to close it / prevents you from closing it entirely). Sometimes the dreams had lives in a way where I would restart back at the beginning behind a couch (hiding from it) or on other occasions I would have a reasonably ordinary dreams, then out of nowhere it shows up. As the dreams repeated, I began to learn more about it and its weaknesses. I learned that it doesn't actually kill you but hypnotises you and it had done the same to various other people. By begging for help, it unhypnotised an individual allowing you and them to escape it for the time being. However the only way to beat them was to get to bed with the covers covering you and there has to be a pillow. Towards the end of the nightmares, I had a dream where I WAS hypnotised by it but somehow managed to break free of its control as it paced back and forth down the hall at a fast speed and when it passed by the door just stared into the room in an attempt to hypnotise me again / check that it had done so. The bed was already set when it did so and I collapsed onto the bed as it hypnotised me resulting in me finally winning against it (though it did appear again on occasion, with it no longer showing up in my dreams). Since then, I've had bizarre dreams on occasion like one that sounds like a movie story: where I was the son of a monster and my parents were actually adoptive parents (and as the result of being the son of said monster, the government were hunting me and my family down). But normally I go to sleep and I don't dream. It's just black, dark and nothing happens with me waking up soon after to my alarm. I'm not sure if it's a side effect of those reoccurring nightmares, which has somehow manipulated my brain into rarely ever dreaming to avoid most nightmares or what but it's kind of interesting how it's ended up like that. While some locations are familiar in certain dreams, my more recent dreams have warped into a far more creative mindset with new locations / things I've never seen before.
TheGavtel That's pretty interesting. While I'm no scientist, I could propose an idea as to what could has been going on. Since your dreams represent your mindscape in an abstract way, the chaser could represent a repressed part of your psyche that you were subconsciously avoiding. However, your learning process and the existence of others inside the dream is different than usual. This indicates that there are others who struggle with a similar psychological problem and how you slowly learned its weaknesses and how to win against it. Its appearance in even normal dreams indicate that whatever it was representing was problematic for you both in difficult situations and simply normal ones. But when you finally subconsciously defeated it in your dreams, something that your mind was already so used to be including, it literally emptied itself and very slowly gained a new amount of subconscious sets to use. Your old set's purpose now fulfilled, and will most likely never make nightmares occur again.
It would be great if you reviewed Hotline Miami, it's different, like the Yume Nikki games, however the gameplay and message are very different, with a violently nihilistic approach. It has an amazing soundtrack and is very good in general. Thanks!
You know I subscribed to you recently from your last fangames video in hope that you'd talk about 2kki, and what do you know the next video you post afterwards. Anyway great video. Yume 2kki is a big inspiration to my art style and my love of weird things. It's probably my favorite game, I probably love it more than the original. I wish there were more videos about it on youtube.
References you didn't mention or might not have gotten: 6:21 Zalgo is actually a well-known creepypasta character. He's basically an Eldrich Horror from another dimension (think basically Cthulhu but in the same mythos/universe as Jeff the Killer and Slenderman) with no true form whose (admittedly vague) 'coming' will destroy us, or our planet, or our dimension, or something..... Yeah his story was more about being vague and badass about h terrible and powerful and incomprehensible he is that it never really says what he actually is or does. (His story is also the one responsible for that scary/spooky g̸͍̀l̷̖̾i̷͎̒ţ̸̋c̵̨͝h̸͚͑ ̸̥̊t̴͎̊ẹ̵̇x̵̪̐t̶͙̀ you see people using all over the internet, which is named after him.) 10:47 Probably. That's actually pretty likely seeing as how both LSD Dream Emulator are trippy games about dreams from Japan made by small groups of people that really have no plot and have randomly-generated events. 19:13 Plus this area reminds me of the hotel/cottage area from LSD Dream Emulator too (referred to as Bright Moon Cottage on the wiki [yes, LSDDE has a wiki]) as the tatami mat floor and the look of the 'walls' (tan areas) remind me of the floor (except it was wooden planks, but it has the same effect) and walls in the Normal texture, and the red hallways remind me of the hallway floors there in the Downer texture, so maybe it's another reference to that game? Or maybe I'm just too into weird indie games. XD
Don't kid yourself, all these creepypastas are not in the same mythos/universe. Those are only fan interpretations where every time, everyone lives in the same mansion.
i've seen some stuff around about how different personalities of people with DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) can have their own unique dreamworlds. It's possible that the girl in this game may have DID, which usually comes from trauma. Things to support this are everything that makes it feel like the dreams of multiple people, IE the different artstyles, the massive amounts of doors and effects, the scary imagery, and even the outfits from other games.
There's an option that allows you to press shift and select the effects, complete with images. It's a lot easier than having to scroll through text alone. The wiki gives you instructions on the page for Urotsuki's Room.
Last night I had a strange dream. I was blind but not in the usual sense, whenever I opened my eyes all I could see is my hand reaching out to my window. I could still move and feel stuff but just that image was all I saw.
What's funny is that most of my dreams are as you've described here. I never experience them through my own eyes rather through those of some random avatar of my dreams choosing.
Man, thank you so much for making these videos. It's not that common for someone to actually take some time to review games as deep and ambigious as Yume Nikki and it's fanmade sequels/spin-offs/whatever. I'm still kinda confused why your channel is so underrated, I think it deserves much more recognition and views than that. Also, random question, whaccha think about Danganronpa games? You know, since it came out recently on PC.
Oh yeah fun fact In the debug version of this game there's an extra option on the menu which is just blank. That allows you to save anywhere tbh really recommend if you wanna find something hidden
Maybe Urotsuki is a toy a girl used as a vessel for her dreams. She might have a lot of interests. She might even play Yume Nikki and fan games. Maybe she is dreaming about her own fangame.
awwh yeaah early access rocks! :D I absolutely love this game... i really should continue my videos on it >.> I do hope they add a story some time soon. also! what did you use to make twitter black like that? it's sexy :D
My dreams have their own world. Every time, I dream of places I’ve seen once, twice, three times. Sometimes from different points of view, or with slight changes in architecture, subtle or explicit changes. Sometimes, something is hidden in dreams, a new passage, a secret path, someone who should not be there and that I have never seen. Are they scary? Indeed. But they are more than that: disturbing, because I will never stop feeling that there is something there that I need to understand, but I can't. Every time I dream of these places, situations, times of the day, whatever it is: some message is hidden somewhere, somehow, that I have no idea what it means.
Has anyone ever dared playing all of the fangames?.. Cause I Want to see what all do and just with my imagination trying to connect them all in a way When I played yumenikki I kept on thinking to myself ideas reasons and emotions that I felt viewing this experiences Its trully something that I wish more people knew anyway this games and many othesr thats also why I love your channel you take care of RPG Games that are unique and in a format of a review and adventure into this games. Thank you again for it all ^^
I was waiting for you to do a videp on Yume2kki! It was great. The video was great, except for one thing. This game is NOT a proper/official sequel to Yume Nikki. As a matter of fact, this game clearly states every time you start a new game that this game is NOT A SECOND YUME NIKKI but rather a fan game. I hope people who watch this video don't get the wrong idea, thinking that this is a sequel to Yume Nikki. Kikiyama was NOT involved (at least to my knowledge) in ANY of the making in this, but only inspired them. (also explains why there's no Madotsuki's outfit in the dress room: Project Yume2kki clearly states that you cannot take identical graphics from the Original)
Dangit, I hate it when I'm stuck in a room with a giant man laughing at me when I try to call someone on my Wiimote? *D R E A M S A R E P R E T T Y W E I R D*
+Goron3000 It was a clip from an old short film I did in highschool that was based on a nightmare I had. I think it's probably still on youtube somewhere.
Any idea when you'll get around to doing a review of OFF? it's probably one of my favorite games of all time and it would be great hearing your thoughts on it. great review by the way. :D I wasn't aware the RPG Maker community was that big until I found your channel.
You don't have Patreon, so allow me to send you rays of love and prosperity at least. Damn, Sir, you are doing a good job, digging into absolutely every subject you work with. It is impossible to satisfy everyone, but you clearly care about what you are doing. Thank you for every video you've made. MOAR LUV DUH NITRORAD
It's so so so nice to see someone talk about Yume 2kki so positively, a lot of the community regards it as mediocre or think it has "nothing to offer", mostly because of how disjointed it is from how many different people worked on it. It may not have the same sort of underlying/overarching theme and story as Yume Nikki and .flow seemed to have, but I definitely feel like it captures the surreal nature of dreams, and explorative feeling of Yume Nikki. Thank you for reviewing it!!!
@_Neopolitan _ Just because of the sheer content that has, the worlds and sub-worlds, the effects, the sprite work, and the overall enjoyement and lenght and freedom that it gives to the player. As a videogame, Yume 2kki surpass every single Yume Nikli fangame including Yume Nikki itself. As a story though, is not the best one
@Covered_in_Rust Well being fair Yume 2kii has really grotesc and horrifying worlds too, in fact some of them are worse than everything in .flow, but yeah, I agree that the overall atmosphere of .flow is darker than 2kki.
I've finally figured out the secret to RU-vid popularity, using way too many arrow pngs to point at everything!!!!! (For real though I didn't mean for it to be that excessive, whoops)
dude help me! im trying to start the yumme 2kki but when i start it it only apears a window with weird symbols and it dont open the game.. what should i do????
Anyone ever seen those reanimated projects on youtube? A popular classic or fan favorite gets reanimated by dozens of people and every scene is a different animator with a different style. Its a very popular, easy, and great way of running a collab as it means everyone does something, everyone is equally important, and everyone gets to show off. Yume 2kki is essentially just like that and it's really cool. I'm pretty sure this fan game is the earliest recording of such a form of collab ever happening.
The world is so huge... Every time they update it, the connections change and theres more secret areas, and every effect actually affects something, and theres even little miniquests. Best fangame Imo.
For those who didn't know about Yume 2kki before this review About the two mini-games that plays like the main game: - Plated Snow Country is actually very close to the main game. You play as Itetsuki, and your goal is to collect 6 ice trinkets that are required to save another girl who's trapped in a block of ice. There are 2 endings in this mini-game, a good ending and a bad ending, and finishing it unlocks a costume in the Dresser Room. - Wavy Up is pretty much the same deal as other RPG Maker horror games. You play as a high-school girl (whose name is unknown) who decides to explore a school at night after seeing what seems to be a ghost girl. Just like most RPG Maker horror games, there are several chase scenes and death traps (like in Misao), but don't expect any jumpscare in it. The mini-game isn't completed yet, but you get to unlock something if you beat it anyway.
@@rosemarykoshy8995 I mean sure, Yume 2kki isn't Outlast, but some of its events and locations are so horrifying that in a way makes it way more creepier than any horror game, your guard is always down as you travel through the beautiful worlds with calm tunes that the moment something horrifying happens you feel like shoving your head into the microwave. The actual screamer of the library world may be the biggest offender in this regard. The zones that are made to be unsettling also add to the high level spookiness of this game, like the hospital, the dark museum or that sub zone of the underwater park, there will not be a monster following like in many horror games, but that's exactly what makes it so much worse, you'll always be mentalized that *something* will jump out of the next corner and scare the shit out of you; but the game is so clever that, generally speaking, the unsettling worlds will *not* have a scary sorpresive event, it doesn't matter as your brain has already been scared thanks to the sheer idea of *expecting* that a jumpscare will come out, even if it actually never happens, which in turn goes full circle, you lower your guard in the spooky maps since supposedly nothing will jump at you, and, well, your reward for doing so is a beautiful pulsating white face on the wall of a museum, thank you Yume 2kki. And that's how this game handles terror better than actual horror games.
