I haven't really played Yume Nikki but this was probably one of my first experiences with something thats plays like the exploration of Yume Nikki and I had a blast, I see there was some people confused about certain parts of the game or where to go but I think that's the beauty of exploring dreams and figuring stuff out. I really liked the characters and the art is really cool and ahlsdgoiwgoisfjkje men of my dreams heheh (idk the characters are very appealing to look at :) good work).
It does feel like there is alot of pieces to the story to give thought into or theorize about but I'm kind of too tired to think about that and I haven't really played the original Motel Snooze but it still managed to keep me hooked despite of that.
If the dev ever wants to make a continuation you can count me in for a second round of dreaming. 10/10 I would recommend to my friends :D
