Overview
リーチ (Reach) is an English fangame created by Saibibi as an entry for Dream Diary Jam 3, and updated for Dream Diary Jam 4, Dream Diary Jam 5, and completed in Dream Diary Jam 6. It was developed in RPG Maker VX Ace.
Gameplay
Reach plays like a traditional fangame. The player enters the Otherworld through the hole in the closet. Gameplay focuses on exploration and effect finding. Alongside effects, the player must also find the protagonist's friends within the Otherworld and escort them to the Nexus. The player can also find cassette tapes which can be listened to using the cassette player in the bedroom, revealing little bits of the game's backstory.
The protagonist has a health bar that will deplete if they are caught by chasers. If the health bar is drained completely, the player will be knocked out and sent back to the bedroom. Health can be replenished by returning home and sleeping in the bed. The player can save by using the cassette player in the bedroom.
