does anyone else find yume nikki extremely calming? I had a huge blowout with my family earlier, and as soon as I started playing and wandering around the dream worlds, I instantly just felt this huge sense of relief. something about the kind of familiar, repetitive background music, the quiet little sounds, and the interesting backgrounds and images kind of..just puts me at ease. it also helps me with my art block.so..how does yume nikki make you feel? does it have any sort of positive or calming effect on you guys?

I can see how it can be relaxing. I don't really do much though, irl. Kind of a loner, stay inside, watch meh animuu. I would say I feel... at home... playing YN more than relaxed, cause there's some maps that freak me out or put me on edge, and some that are really warm and welcoming. But yea, overall I just feel like I'm back at home.

>>6414yeah, I'm not much of an outdoors-y person either. I never have been..orzbut I can see how yume nikki might put you on edge a little. like, if I'm stressed, I don't just go into the guillotine room, derp.
I find the music for Yume Nikki very calming, but like the game itself it has a large propensity to take on a creepy atmosphere.I think that's really dependant on your mood and thoughts while you play. If you're on edge before you play the game, or just simply in the wrong mood, those feelings are simply exacerbated by the game. The game does a fantastic job at emulating a dream-like atmosphere in my opinion, as it can easily be interpreted many different ways, simply by emotion.The experience you have is highly influenced by the emotion response you give. Obviously a victim of abuse would have a harder time with something that has (perceived) themes of abuse than somebody who is oblivious to that pain. Coupled with the fact that the game makes it's point mostly through undertones, it can be quite disturbing to somebody who recognizes the emotion within the present atmosphere. Quite like a dream, each experience one has with Yume Nikki is unique to them, as it is an emotion and personal experience.tl;dr Your personal Yume Nikki experience can say a lot about you.

it's relaxing if you stay in the right areas. Snow world, forest world, pink sea, places like that are relaxing. The world with hands and eyes and crap everywhere? not so much.
