is it done yet? is it any good?

Yeah it is in fact done, whether it's good or not, eh, I've gotten mixed reviews about it. While it's a cut below the original it's still something a fan of Yume Nikki should check out at least once. I'm thinking about downloading it, later on and giving it a go since I'm basically done with this game (I still need to get the ending but, until then I'll mess around with 2kki).
Stuffman:
It's worth mentioning that the sequel is a fan project, and not made by the creator of the original.
I played an unfinished demo of it a while back. It's not quite as strong as the first game in composition, but it does have enough brickshitting moments to make it worth trying.
Herasy:
Completed! Ending was a bit expected though. Overall pretty nice game, came with its creepy moments (Uboa!) and the retro area reminded me of Earthbound quite alot.
Tengukami:
I love this game and have not completed it, so I appreciate people being discreet about the ending. I don't want to know!
One thing I have to agree with though is the observation (criticism?) that while in most RPGs, you open the game universe in stages, starting from a small portion until you find Item A, then this opens a new world, where you have to find Item B, and so on. In Yume Nikki, the whole game universe starts wide open from the beginning. So exploration will take you a long time, and as there's no mapping, you'd be remember what's where.
Still, tons of fun as far as I'm concerned.

That didn't stop me from getting incredibly annoyed while finding the last few effects, I must have spent hours wandering through the same areas.
