Overview

Gameplay

Umbra is the first fangame to use talk sprites, as well as the first to make dialogue an important gameplay element. Other fangames have since adopted this format such as The Looking Glass.

The gameplay is traditional in that the player is collecting effects, but with the addition of more puzzles and dialogue choices that affect the game. The method of "dreaming" is though the TV, while saving is done in the bed. The Nexus is an old arcade, arcade machines serving as the Nexus' "doors".
