My Yume Nikki/OFF inspired exploration RPG has a demo out on itch.

This game started out as a Yume Nikki fan game, but quickly grew into something of a combination of all my favorite RPG Maker games connected by a non-linear, dream-like structure. I’ve been developing it almost completely solo for over two years.

I hope to improve this demo before Steam Next Fest, so feedback would be greatly appreciated! I'm still working on striking the right difficulty balance, plus I'm sure I left typos and plenty of bugs. The final game will be a bit less restrictive, but I wanted to do my best to provide a non-linear slice of the game.

My exploration game inspired by Yume Nikki. I've been using a mixed-media aesthetic to make environments feel distinct.

Wanted to share my process for creating art for my game.

The game has a more mixed-media aesthetic, and I tried to embrace that in just about every way I could. I used a lot of photos I took of textures and interesting things. Many of the enemies are sketched, digitized, and then worked on in Photoshop to add more detail. I also created many of the environments in Blender before moving them to Photoshop to retexture and polish them with added detail.

If anyone's interested, ArMystic is available to wishlist on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4731960/ArMystic/
