I actually requested this Yume Nikki image, among others, to commemorate the recently released 3D remake/reboot of the game titled Yume Nikki Dream Diary.
Ironically, this particular artist seriously didn't like the remake, looking at their Twitter and Tumblr. The remake itself got a lot of flak for various reasons, including bugs, gameplay change (the game's more like a 2 1/2D platformer and so it's a lot more linear), and some of the scares could've been better. On the other hand, people seemed to really like the soundtrack, atmosphere, and the environment design so YMMV.
In any case, the original creator of Yume Nikki - Kikiyama - was supervising the project, so regardless of your opinion on Dream Diary it's still pretty cool that Kikiyama's active again after years of silence.

loving the VHS blur effect. Gives it that unsettling a e s t h t i c vibe which is fitting for the source material.

Every time I see this visual effect, the first thing I do is pop on my old 3D glasses and get bitterly disappointed.

I think both games are great on their own ways. I can't say much about the soundtrack since I just watched a playthrough, I didn't play it myself yet, but the atmosphere really was on point and environment was also great, but the best part for me is that Madotsuki survives TT◡TT, however, I really missed the Effects, and despite being beautiful, I also missed some worlds (I don't mind the linear part as much as most people tho, since it took me three days to finish the original, even though one can finish it in less than a hour... so I won't complain for not being lost for hours).
