Cult classic horror game Yume Nikki unexpectedly appeared as a free download on Steam today, alongside a two-week countdown timer teasing “the next Yume Nikki project.” For years, the unofficial English translation had mostly been available as a downloadable .exe on various fansites, with a browser version launching in July 2016, making its sudden arrival on Steam quite an exciting moment for fans of the little-known Japanese horror game.
The new Steam version lists its publisher as AGM Playism, a Japan-based distributor focused on localizing and publishing indie games from around the world. IGN has reached out to Playism for comment regarding Yume Nikki’s arrival on Steam.
