The RPG Maker team at Kadokawa has paired up with Active Gaming Media’s development team of ardent Yume Nikki fans to bring players this modern indie reboot in the form of Yume Nikki: Dream Diary, launching for PC on Steam this February 23.
Check out these screenshots of Yume Nikki: Dream Diary, featuring characters and locations in the game:
“In its original form, RPG Maker darling YUME NIKKI was a divisively controversial work among fans. By contrast, YUMENIKKI -DREAM DIARY- is a collaborative show of the utmost respect for auteur Kikiyama’s seminal release.
This diverging follow-up combines influences from the original game and other recent indie juggernauts to create something wholly unique.
YUMENIKKI -DREAM DIARY- was created under supervision and with the full cooperation from the original creator, Kikiyama themselves. We hope it will help to create a whole new wave of fans, as well as push the envelope in terms of what RPG Maker games can become.
Featuring “all-new old” original character!
Characters that have lay dormant in Kikiyama’s imagination (and design documents) surface 16 years after YUME NIKKI’s original release.
