Going to sound like a wimp here, but was anyone else emotionally affected by Yume Nikki?Two days ago I played through and beat Yume Nikki.After completing it, I felt very depressed and started pondering my existence. I've felt like shit two days after completing it. Madotsuki is a shut-in like me, and it scares me that I could end up going insane and killing myself one day.I know I sound like a HUGE fucking pussy right now, but no game has ever done this to me. Am I the only one that felt this way about Yume Nikki?I just honestly don't ever want to touch it again. Was a great game and all, but it really fucked with my head. I feel really hopeless and drained right now.god damnit I wish I wasn't so fucking sensitive to this shit

Yume Nikki just hit a nerve with you, that's all. To me, Yume Nikki reminded me of my childhood. The music and areas reflected dreams and thoughts and memories of my past that I hadn't remembered or even thought much of until playing. That's one reason I love this game so much; it really makes you think and feel. Albeit, sometimes not in the greatest ways (like you, OP) but it just depends on who you are and what (if any) memories or emotions are triggered by playing. If you, say, had a close friends who commited suicide by jumping, the ending might strike a nerve. tl;dr it's not that abnormal of how you feel, i've heard lots of people talk about how beating the game made them depressed. Just remember it IS just a game :U
