Overview

Phoenix Dream (不死鳥の夢 , Fushichou no Yume; Dream of Phoenix; PD) is a Yume Nikki and Witoru/Neta Dream (うぃとる) fangame made by Dario made in RPG Maker XP. It stars Cap Boy, who seems to be part phoenix.

Gameplay

Phoenix Dream's playing style is similar to Witoru/Neta Dream (うぃとる), it involves dialogue and puzzles. There appear to be multiple endings, and Phoenix Dream also seems to be a parody of Yume Nikki fangames.

You start off in Cap Boy's room which (like in many other fangames) contains a bed for entering his dreams, a balcony, a desk and a PC. The later has multiple purposes such as saving your game, playing a minigame, buying items, changing menu skins and listening to the game's soundtrack.The balcony in PD has an unusual feature - a gap in the fence in the same place where Madotsuki's ladder was in the ending of Yume Nikki. Since Cap Boy has wings, you can trigger a flying event (even when he's awake) by approaching the gap.

A door to the debug room appears if you interact with the wall next to the door in Cap Boy's room. The door appears on the left of the PC. In the debug room you can buy items, buy effects, meet some characters, read developer's notes and trigger the endings. This game also has achievements in the form of medals stored in a book that appears in the real room after you find at least one. PD also has turn-based battles.

Plot

For some reason Cap Boy is not able to exit his room because the door appears to be locked, although he can leave his apartment by flying off his balcony.

In his dreams Cap Boy meets lots of different characters with whom he can have short dialogues. Some of the minor characters in PD are hostile and rude, while others are merely amusing and harmless. Small orange creatures give you medals; different types of small objects and NPCs will give you effects, while others will sell you various items.

A sub character (and occasionally your enemy if you forget to call him by his name) - a boy named Yamao (山尾) stars in a fangame of his own, Yamao-den (山尾伝), which was also made by Dario.
