I really enjoyed the game. But! I can't fully enjoy the content presented. Unfortunately, I have epilepsy and I can't play normally. The game doesn't have a function for epileptics, or I didn't find it ;( This isn't written as a reproach, I really enjoyed the game. But unfortunately, I'll have to stop there, I almost died playing it hehe. My condolences to anyone who also has epilepsy.

Auto-shooters can be very hit or miss, granted they all share the spammy, overstimulated gore that we all know and love. Picayune Dreams hits it on the mark when it comes to flooding the screen with a chaotic mess of dopamine farms. The webcore theming of it all really adds to the effect it has when you can't tell what's happening on screen anymore, which if we're honest, is the whole point of playing auto-shooters. The bullet hell aspect of it is also very well done, while staying challenging, it still has enough simplicity in the patterns for beginners and veterans to enjoy. If you think it's too easy you can always change the game speed to 2x for a more chaotic and true bullet hell experience. The game is also still being updated, albeit sporadically. However the sparse content additions make up for it easily; it's more of a quality over quantity situation. The first major update after release was HUGE and I easily added another 50 after it dropped. The story is also fairly in depth and reveals a horrifying world where you can't truly know what really happened, or is happening, or will happen. That is to say that the inspirations from Yume Nikki are blatantly apparent. It feels like a dream half the time, with Cyl stuck in the middle of it all as a hero, not by choice, but necessity for survival. The other characters are also given backstory, but only enough to allow the player to contemplate their own version of the world. The ability to wonder and be lost in a world is what makes any piece of fiction effective and entertaining and I think Picayune Dreams nailed it.
