This is a chronological archive of all of my Guides and Walkthroughs, usually for niche/indie games it’s hard to find info for.
If you see something that’s missing or have a question to ask, feel free to reach out in the comments or over email! I read all comments and do my best to update any guide no matter how old any time there’s new information or improvements to be made.
These can be of the form of direct walkthroughs, general how-tos with relevant information, or more specific like trophy conditions, lists of unlisted secrets/cheats/unlocks, or just any info I wish I had known when I started playing.
This is a “mini-guide” for Tap Tap Fish – AbyssRium, with only the Fusion Fish & Farms information, split out to be faster & easier to load on mobile devices. Feel free to add to your Homescreen for easy access!

Recipes in Pokemon Quest are one of the most important (and initially, most confusing) aspects of the game. They’re the primary way of getting new pokemon, and without the right recipe you just can’t get some pokemon. So here I’ve compiled the basic recipes, how to make them, and some supporting info to help get you going!
The information in this guide should apply 100% to both mobile (iOS and Android) and Nintendo Switch versions of the game, though I primarily play on Mobile.
If this guide’s successful (and I keep playing the game) I’ll look into making other guides for the game. I started with just this one since I find myself always having to look it up anyway. As always, feel free to comment to ask questions or point out new info!
Basic Recipe Info
Recipes are the primary way of getting new pokemon in Pokemon Quest so it’s important to understand how they work to get what you want and avoid wasting materials.
Higher quality materials attract rarer pokemon but take more turns/expeditions to complete; early on you should focus on low-quality recipes to quickly fill out your common pokemon list and keep a steady flow of new pokemon and not worry too much about rare ingredients.
Note that higher-evolutions are never obtained through recipes, you’ll always get basic pokemon. Pokemon in Pokemon Quest appear to always evolve via level-up rather than other conditions. (Not sure about Eevee yet).
Pokemon Quest Recipes List
Note Rainbow Matter can generally be substituted for recipes to raise their quality level.

Even if you don’t necessarily want pokemon of a specific recipe, I’d recommend going down the list and completing one of each recipe as one of your first tasks ingame. This not only completes your recipe book ingame for easy reference, but you get some rewards for completing Challenges as well.
Note that some combinations meet the requirements of multiple recipes, if this is the case the result is the lowest number from the list that it satisfies (not counting Mulligan stew).
Yume Nikki Dream Diary is here, now with a Version 2.0 update that brings it closer to what most of us expected! Here I’ve documented a walkthrough of (most) of what you need to do, what effects do, the endings, and other information.
Feel free to comment to ask any questions or share info! I’ve provided links to some key terms in the Yume Nikki Wiki, feel free to get lost in the wiki as well, it’s quite enjoyable. I’m trying to link all the references to the original game, as they’re a rather significant amount of the enjoyment to be had in the game, so point out any I’ve missed as well!
For purpose of clarity, the full name Yume Nikki Dream Diary will be used when referring to this game, and Yume Nikki alone will be used to refer to the original game by Kikiyama.
2018-06-10: Adding info for Version 2.0! Thanks a lot to this reddit thread for help with The Wilderness updates.
2018-05-31: Version 2.0 is out and it sounds great! I don’t have the guide updated yet for the new worlds/changes but feel free to ask questions in the comments.
2018-03-09: Expanded walkthrough, The Wilderness info completed and added The Nexus info. The only major stuff missing is a complete list of Concept Art locations (arg)
2018-03-07: Added an interesting theory from Reddit to the Theories section.
2018-03-02: A number of bug patches have been applied to the game lately, including the infamous jumping issues when the framerate is low. Minor guide corrections.
2018-02-28: Added much more Walkthrough info and listed the general location of each Effect.
2018-02-27: Explained (spoiler)’s music puzzle in the secret ending. Added The Mall to the walkthrough.
The Sewers, Block World, and Snow World, which are all connected
The Sewers is mostly a connection to existing worlds, plus a new puzzle/jellyfish is in it
Block World is accessed via The Sewers and is a puzzle blocking access to Snow World
Snow World has the Hat and Scarf effect, and access to Pink Sea/Poniko/Uboa
Most existing worlds are untouched beyond The Sewers connections
Two new effects, Hat and Scarf and Uboa Mask
Interact with Poniko’s desk while using the Lantern after triggering the Uboa Event (lights out) in Poniko’s room, then chase Uboa to get the Uboa Mask
Get Hat and Scarf in Snow World from Mafurako
Uboa’s Trap room added per above, it looks amazing
Four new subsections of The Wilderness added via a Lost Woods/looping maze puzzle including the Aztec Rave Monkey, some purple pylons, the hot springs room, and a lake you freeze to get some concept art
A new NES minigame added, Witch Adventure, referencing the Flight of the Witch event
This is found by finding the cat in The Sewers, then meeting it again at the roof of The Mall
The strangest addition, Madotsuki’s apartment now has a bathroom in the bottom corner, accessible only in the dream world. It has no apparent function.
All in all, 2.0 is a fantastic update that brings the game a fair bit more in line with the original and addresses several concerns of fans!
What is Yume Nikki -Dream Diary-?
As a heads-up in case you haven’t purchased the game yet (or haven’t started it), Yume Nikki is something closer to a “reimagining” of the original than typical remake or sequel.
Many are disappointed by what they find (as, well, was I) so it’s best to be aware of what you’re going in for. That said, if you’re a big enough fan of Yume Nikki, you’ll probably dive right in and play it like I did so I figured I would make a guide to help those who have already committed to it.

Event ended April 30th 2018.
I livestreamed the event earlier, watch the archive if you want to see what it’s all about! The event’s costs are really unfair so I highly recommend an auto-tapper, see how to use an auto tapper here. The events aren’t fair, and here’s why in my opinion; it’s a systemic issue. As players we deserve better. I’d recommend messaging the devs on Facebook and telling them you want more community interaction. They need a Community Manager.
Makai Wars (魔界ウォーズ ) released on Android and iOS (in Japan only) in February! As a huge fan of Disgaea I started a guide to both get you started quickly and also detail the more intricate details, all without knowing Japanese. The guide will be expanded over time as new info comes in. As always, you can donate to my Patreon to support my guides!
Makai Wars is a simplified Strategy Roleplaying Game much like Disgaea (and half of NIS’ other games), and it’s Asagi’s very own game! For real this time! No really, stop laughing!
2018-12-14: Happy Holidays! Holiday event with Laharl, Etna, and Asagi as limited units. Asagi is free as usual: Holiday Asagi stones are a rare drop from the final stage! It’s a grind event so repeat the final stage a lot. If Asagi is the boss, she drops stones. Thief drops other rewards.
Special $100 IAP pack with a ticket that can redeem any single non-limited/collaboration character instantly (you can see the choices in the shop menu). Since it’s just one, I’d say it’s not that worth it. There is a much cheaper “Rank Bonus” IAP that’s more worth tho.

2018-03-31: April Fool’s Day event! Just lasts 24 hours so be sure to play the levels. They’re very easy and all players are rewarded based on total points. Looks like we’ll easily hit the last milestone. Here’s the song.
2018-03-30: New event, see the section below for details! Gives one-time premium items. Also started a spreadsheet for character/etc translation since it’s a bit too much data entry for me to do all by myself. Feel free to add the passives/etc for characters you have to the sheet and I’ll work them into the guide soon!

Makai Wars (魔界ウォーズ) is a long-running gag in the Disgaea/NIS community. Originally it was announced as a PSP game for E3 2004 and Asagi was to be the protagonist. It was a no-show. It was later re-announced as a PS3 game, which also never materialized.
Since then Asagi has shown up in a majority of NIS tactical games making cameo appearances, usually searching for her game, Makai Wars. She even got a full “Asagi Mode” side story in Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood (yes that’s a real title).
Finally, in the fateful year of our Overlord 2018, Makai Wars is a real thing and Asagi didn’t lie about it being her game; though it’s basically a Disgaea spinoff title featuring her. It’s a mini-SRPG playing like a simplified version of many of NIS’s other titles, specifically Disgaea.

A Valentine’s Warning
So this event is basically the shark-jumping moment for AbyssRium. This event is exploitative beyond anything AbyssRium fans have seen before. This seems to be the point where Cheetah Mobile has completely consumed the original dev team’s intent and wants to milk us for every single penny by destroying the core game unless you pay.
I posted a comprehensive list outlining 19 problems with this event on reddit. I am not in the mood to repeat it here, but suffice it to say, the devs think you are both an idiot and gullible. Song of the Moon was disabled for candy gaining, wait times and an illegal (in Japan and China anyway) gachapon were introduced, they wanted to delete all of our stored candies at the end of the event too. And that’s just half of it at most. It’s all garbo.
Has Youtube marked your seemingly squeaky-clean video as “Not suitable for most advertisers“? What’s that even mean? Well, here’s how to appeal your Demonetized YouTube videos and how to best avoid getting them flagged in the first place.
If you’re here, you’re probably already aware, but YouTube recently started flagging certain videos as “Not Suitable For Most Advertisers”. This process is entirely automatic and is a process run on all YouTube videos automatically akin to Content ID. Here I’ll share the best information I’ve found on how this process works and how to work with it.
Note that YouTube’s process for this is highly variable and opaque; I meant to publish this weeks ago but only recently am I confident that the methods outlined here actually seem to work. Expect variation in your specific circumstances.
Tap Into YouTube is a series of articles from the perspective of a gaming YouTuber, covering both the use of YouTube and how to effectively work with YouTubers to promote your game.
What Does “Not Suitable For Most Advertisers” Mean?
When you get the yellow dollar sign symbol a video is “demonetized” or in youtube’s vernacular “Not Suitable For Most Advertisers”. Despite some conspiracy theories this does not mean YouTube is “skimming” your ad money; when demonetizing videos no ads are shown, meaning YouTube gets no ad money either. YouTube gets no inherent benefit from a demonetized video.
Despite the “limited or no” advertising, as far as I can tell no or effectively no advertisers actually put videos on “unsuitable” videos. You should consider a flagged video effectively demonetized entirely. It’s possible this will change in the future if advertisers choose to opt in to this class of video.
Find Demonetized Videos
If you had a backlog of videos before the “Not suitable for most advertisers” stuff started, you might have videos demonetized without knowing. There is a search filter you can use to find them immediately; this is where you’ll want to start your quest to re-monetize as many as you can.
However, I’ve noticed that in some rare cases videos (unlisted ones in my case) did not show in that search filter, and recently re-monetized videos may still show in that view until monetization is turned off then back on for that video.
The infamous Yellow Dollar Sign icon is the telltale sign you’ve been Demonetized
Lutie RPG Clicker is an extremely cute but rather byzantine RPG Clicker game with very high quality art. It’s a bit hard to keep track of which Guardians have which skills in the game itself, so I decided to make a guide starting with a searchable table of Guardians so you know which ones have the Skills you’d like to upgrade.
As always with my guides, feel free to post in the comments if you have any questions or info to give. I’ll expand this guide if I get more important information of if lots of people want more. I’m a fair ways into Lutie RPG Clicker myself (stage 1,000) so ask anything you like.
Lutie RPG Clicker is the story of an angel in the middle of a great war after Ragnarok. The story is unlocked as you progress the game, though the latest bits of the story are still only in Korean. It plays a fair deal like Politicats and Star Tap, a bit more complicated twist on the usual prestige-focused Idle Game template.
