Customer Reviews
Amazing
I am floored that this doesn't have more reviews. This is an amazing podcast and I'm so sad I've finished it!!! Very fascinating and well told.
Superb
A little Podcast containing Knowledge and a narrative that speaks volumes!
I have no words to describe this, I came expecting some tongue and cheek podcast where some person just ruminates or says some facts we all knew about yumenikki, And was pleased by its rich content.
Very Informative and Interesting, a Great Listen!
When I first heard about this podcast, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But listening to it now, I think it’s so good to hear people still intrigued by this game and the mysteries surrounding it after all this time. As a big fan of Yume Nikki, I love hearing other people’s opinions and seeing how passionate they are about this game. I even learned some things about Yume Nikki that I didn’t know before!
