I must say.
I did not like this game.
I managed to find 2 of the "targets" and 2 effects, but i did not understand their use (other than, "killing")

Labyrinths were also pretty bad? One is completely RNG and you can walk on most tiles even if you are not supposed to.
The only thing i liked was the title music, actually really really amazing (and music in general was actually pretty good).

But i still feel like i wandered around for 1 hour without understanding where to go, or what to do.

It is a Yume Nikki fan game, so you gotta find secrets etc... But everything i find in this game feels like it's useless

Hopefully my blindrun will help you understand how other players would play the game.

I'm sorry you didn't like it but thank you for playing and telling me your thoughts.

I understand and am aware of the points you have. I know of it being a problem of how obtuse area designs are, especially for a game where there's a more stated goal than most YN-fangames. I'm inclined to believe that contributed to the whole "everything felt useless" feeling you had. I would definitely try to clamp down on that in an update or redo.

Thank you again for playing and giving me your thoughts.

No problem! I was a bit mad while writing that cuz i just couldn't understand what to do in the game and after a big while of wandering around i kinda snapped. I did play yume nikki and like other 10 fan games, some better than others. I saw there is another version of this game but non yume nikki style. Maybe i could try that out too.

At the end, what matters is that you had fun with the project, even if i honestly did not like it much ( still one of the best title songs i've heard).

Thanks for making the game.
