A {{Spiritual Sequel}} that's [[GenreBusting somehow in the Noir genre]], titled [[http://rpgmaker.net/games/4427/ "Moments of Silence"]] has been revealed with a 9/18/2013 release date. The Rift is gone, replaced with a yet unnamed tiered city. It appears to follow a being who accidentally sets free (by Dialing 9) one of the netherworld's "most beloved politicians" named "Mr. Freedom" and the political turmoil and leadership conflict that occurs when the people of the city find out the turtle that holds the city on its back has developed throat cancer. While it appears its plot has far more reoccurring characters, a recognizable conflict, and a more consistent setting, it doesn't look any less weird even if appears the Rift and Genie are no longer involved.
While the above was in development, ''{{VideoGame/Gingiva}}'' was created. Implied to be a prequel to ''Middens'', the game follows a woman with a turnkey for a head rebelling against the governing aristocrats while being guided by a talking set of dentures. The setting is as odd as ''Middens'', though with a more consistent art style for the environments. Originally slated for February 2013, [[ScheduleSlip it didn't release until September]].

What truly sets apart the game from other Yume Nikki fan games (if it can even be called such at this point) are its combat and dialogue systems.
In the case of the former, most fights are initiated by the player and the enemies’ stats are hidden. You could very well challenge a boss that’s completely beyond your power level and not know it until you are already dead, which makes every fight foreboding. Its karma system is unique in that [[AnAesop ALL killing is wrong]], even in self defense (though self defense is less bad), and its impossible ([[GuideDangIt barring the services of one EXTREMELY hard to find character]]) to get rid of the bad karma (called “Nothings”) once you start to collect them.
