I watched a lot of Yume Nikki before actually playing it, so I figured "oh, I know about Uboa and all that other shit, it won't scare me."
I WAS WRONG.
I WAS HORRIBLY, HORRIBLY WRONG.
First, I did the Aztec Rave Monkey in the box in the desert thing, and I knew exactly what would happen, but when it happened, my heart skipped a beat, I screamed like a little girl, and I fell out of my chair.
So, naturally, I was too scared to try to get Uboa. But I was fascinated with the thing, so I read about Uboa, watched videos about Uboa, all sorts of stuff. I even had an Uboa-themed light switch. And then....it got scary. I began imagining it when I closed my eyes, or for a split second when I turned off the lights in my room. I had to turn off the lights with my eyes closed, because I would always see Uboa in that split second between light and dark.
But the thing that scares me most about Yume Nikki is the GOD DAMN TORININGEN. They scare the shit out of me so bad, and I don't even know why. They are undoubtedly the most terrifying things in the entire world. It's not just the rabid ones, if I see any kind I will immediately GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE, usually by slamming 9 like my life depends on it. Even though I know that they can't hurt me, they only send me somewhere, even though I know I can just wake up, they still scare me. I think it's because there are all these random unexpected things, like Uboa, in Yume Nikki. I feel like maybe, if one of them catches me, it will be some sort of never-been-discovered event things that will end in the Tori jumping out of the screen and ripping my face off.
woah, I wrote an essay there.
