Games like Lisa and even Undertale have borrowed from Yume Nikki, which follows a shut-in named Madotsuki as she explores the branching worlds of her dreams and nightmares. In the past 14 years, it’s spawned countless fangames and inspired almost an entire subgenre of indie horror: lo-fi, often made in RPG Maker, usually with a focus on exploring and getting lost in surreal worlds. Yume Nikki originally launched in June 2004, an unassuming RPG Maker game from an anonymous Japanese creator.

The World Begins With You is a small, 20 minute experience developed for a game jam, but the lovely world it presents in such a short amount of time and the way its gorgeous camerawork elevates even the most barren of its landscapes is worth experiencing. As you explore the sun-baked temples and moody caves of some vast, ancient land, the camera sweeps in fast, smooth strides, bends through tight corridors, weaves between towering stone columns, and rests at just the right angle to frame a daring descent down a rocky cliffside. While its lack of camera control at first feels a bit frustrating, The World Begins With You has some of the most impressive framing I’ve seen come out of a game this size.
