When I showed my friends this game, I told them not to view any youtube vids since they very easily 'spoil' it and make it too easy. It's purely an exploration game and giving away the answers is like cheating on a test (imo). Yes, to most it's a boring game and overwhelming, but people don't realize that's all 'you'. The game doesn't demand anything. Heck, it doesn't even have any goals. You take what you can eat and if you're still hungry, you go back for more. (But people do have their opinions. Me? I wish this game was even BIGGER.) :3 It's a game of exploration, atmosphere and surprises (with plenty Freudian moments you can look far too into). And it's pretty artsy-fartsy to boot. well, that's my two cents. Hope you go back to the game.. And don't get lost in the Red Furnace Maze. ;3 When I played Yume Nikki (and a couple of days later ‘beat’ it), I took things one at a time, every effect I got I woke up and saved the game before going back.
