Overview
If is a Yume Nikki fangame made by Bokun starring Shimitsuki (しみつき), a girl who refuses to leave her room.
Gameplay
If is like most Yume Nikki fangames, the main objective being exploration and collecting effects. Something a bit different about If is that, instead of using the bed to enter her "dream world", she moves her bookcase to reveal a static-like portal that she jumps into. Additionally, every time Shimitsuki opens a nexus door, two dark large hands/claws grab her and drag her in.
The bed is used to save, and waking up is done through the menu, Shimitsuki pinching her cheek and looking up before returning to the real world. The Debug Room can be accessed from the lower left corner of Shimitsuki's room (behind the boxes).
Plot
Little is known about Shimitsuki or how she got where she is, but it is possible she is trapped in "her" room. At the start of the game, footsteps and the sound of a door locking/closing can be heard. Shimitsuki is sitting in the middle of the room with her eyes lowered, who then looks around the room and jumps up.
The portal behind the bookcase could be a way she tries to escape, or her memories before being trapped in her room/locking herself in her room.
Effects
The effect in the menu will change into Kanji with other meanings when Shimitsuki is in her room.
