Overview

Deathbed Lullabye is an English fangame created by EBroxas72 and Laeaurra Flamehawk. Made in RPG Maker VX Ace.

It is a game created for Dream Diary Jam 5. This game takes place in the same universe as Ritual Denial, an upcoming YNFG by the same developers.

Gameplay

Deathbed Lullabye plays similarly to a traditional fangame. How it differs from traditional fangames is in how the player only has 7 opportunities to enter the dream world before they are forced to trigger an ending. The dream world changes across these 7 nights, with events, npcs, and locations becoming accessible and inaccessible depending on what night it is.

In this game you collects "Hearts" alongside effects. Hearts act like the Orbs you see in fangames like Me or Lcd Dem. Collecting hearts will affect the endings in a future update.

The player can choose to activate a "loop" after triggering an ending, sending the player back to night 1. However, doing so will cause the player to lose all items/effects/hearts relevant to the story or achieving any endings, but the player will keep any items or effects that are not deemed as important for the story.

Controls

The game has controller support.

• Move - Arrow keys
• Interact - Enter/Z
• Open Menu - ESC/X
• Effect Action - Shift
• Fullscreen - Alt + Enter

Plot

In the year 2004 within a hospital in Mexico City, you play as “Teicuh Maria Yayauhqui Calli,” age 37. A widow and musician, she is also terminally ill, and is full of regrets about the questionable life she lived. By the start of the game she only has 7 days to live before she succumbs to her illness. During the daytime the player can speak to Teicuh's younger sister and only living family member, 24 year old Carlita "Karbi" Calli, and/or the comforting apparition of "Santa Muerte" a figure who shows up to those nearing death.

During the night the player explores the dream world of Teicuh. Within her dream world the player slowly unravels and pieces together the backstory of this very troubled woman, and attempt to make her be at peace with the life she lived before the player is forced to trigger an ending on night 7, and watch as she either passes on peacefully or ends up in purgatory.
