Overview

Another Way is an English Yume Nikki fangame made by FenrirDarkWolf in RPG Maker VX Ace. The game was on hiatus for five years, between 2014 and 2019, until the creator released the final version on January 29, 2019.

You play as Drake, a mad scientist who has trapped himself in his lab. He can explore his subconscious via the teleporter in his lab.

Gameplay

Another Way is a traditional-styled fangame where the player explores the dream world and collect Experiments (effects). The player can return to the Lab at any time via the Return button on the main menu. Interacting with the screen behind the teleporter allows the player to save. The instructions can be reread by interacting with the front of the teleporter.

Controls

  • Move - Arrow Keys
  • Interact/Select - Z/Enter
  • Open Menu/Cancel - X/Esc
  • Effect Action - Shift

Plot

There is little to no plot, as the focus is more on exploring a mad scientist's subconscious. Drake could be exploring his subconscious for any number of reasons, from pure curiosity to self-experimentation to just for fun. There are very few people in his world.

In the real world, Drake can take the left-hand stairs go into a small hallway with an elevator that doesn't seem to work, and a smaller computer. From there, he can head onto his balcony. When you try to go onto the right stairs, he will say "No," or make a noise that indicates he does not want to leave.

Experiments (Effects)

Experiments can be unequipped by selecting the Normality option in the Experiments menu.
