I agree it's too slow. As I personally almost gave up with the game when I first played until I found the bicycle.

YN itself is pretty much a walking simulator, with the slow pace. Due to this, I think many who see it will be turned off by the game.

Either way, I don't really have any opinion on what Matpat may do, as I've learnt to just ignore things I have no interest of.

Speaking of the Steam release, I finally beat it. And it seems to be pretty buggy, with some assets being broken (such as the save file theme) due to what seems like incompetence by whoever compiled it, as they misnamed some files.

Also, the game is installed twice for what seems to be little reason.

@Filler Imho YN it too much of a slow paced game to actually attract mainstream coverage, and it's more unsettling than spooky, so not much reaction videos are possible.
And honestly i'm taking the MatPat Game Theory if it means more people will do fanart or fangames of it.

@Kendotilbero

They actually made the Yume Nikki subreddit private to stop this "flood" of newcomers.

Some of them are afraid Matpat will send waves of younger players to the their fandom because of a possible Game Theory video relating it to Undertale or something, which is 100% predictable, too.

eh, the fandom is pretty worried about newcomers ruining the fandom.
I've been there with touhou and ingress, litterally nothing will happen

About time someone uploaded rips of the tilesets.

@Random Talking Bush

Wouldn't be surprised, honestly, the post did seem very troll-bait like. Maybe it's just because I'm always a bit worried about things that mess up PCs, but I've decided to take it up mostly for word.

Also, it'd be almost impossible for a Steam game to install malware directly, though, indirect installs are sometimes common if you play on bad servers on games.

Edit: Been looking at the Steam discussions in whole. It's clear the only "victim" of this "malware" is a troll, and the rest are false-positives from an anti-virus. In general, it seems like the discussions page for the game has became a troll-fest pretty quickly.

@Filler: Sounds like someone trying to stir up a fake controversy to me.

There's also been some rumous going on with the Steam forums that this version is malware. I have no idea how true this is, but it would seem reasonable with the whole controversy right now.

I'm currently running an anti-virus scan to be sure after I uninstalled the game.

small update, actually Kadokawa did some shady things recently with the Kemono Friends francise, so We should be cautious about the new project. If you want a summary of what happened https://docs.google.com/document/d/15Dr7Vbu5xYLtulxIQN0BMf0VGwFwAcU8_SA9HdlfztU/edit

Does anyone know if the official 2018 release (yes, you read that right, the game recently got a re-release) have any new content to add here?
