Overview
TRIAL is a Japanese Yume Nikki fangame made by Nekonoha Yashiro (ネコノハヤシロ) in Wolf RPG Editor. TRIAL has an unusually large number of effects compared to most fangames, the most recent version containing 28 effects.
Gameplay
Like most fangames, the player starts off in the protagonist's room. The dream world is entered by sleeping in the bed and the computer is used to save. Interacting with the console on the floor lets the player listen to the game's soundtrack.
Like in every traditional fangame, the goal is to collect effects, which in this game are called Lost Items / Lost Properties (落し物). The player needs to gather them all and drop them in the Nexus, like in Yume Nikki.
As of ver.0.8.0a, this game has 6 endings, which can be activated by collecting at least 22 effects. The creator has stated that the game will have 8 endings in total.
