__TOC__
==Overview==
==Protagonist==
'''nostAlgic''' is a Japanese Yume Nikki fangame created by [[TOM]] in RPG Maker 2000. It is known for its very light color scheme and for having a generally more optimistic take on a YN-based exploration game.


==Gameplay==
nostAlgic is a traditional fangame. Sleeping on the bed will take the player to the dream world. From there, the player can explore the various areas and collect effects. Interact with the notebook while awake to save.


You play as A, a presumed hikikomori who consequently refuses to leave his/her room. A's gender is debated, though there is an effect that gives him/her a feminine side-ponytail with a green ribbon.
===Controls===
*'''Move''' - Arrow Keys
*'''Interact''' - Z
*'''Open Menu''' - X
*'''Effect Action''' - Shift


A's bedroom is a small, cozy space with blue walls and a picture of a house on a hill. There is a blue bed towards the bottom of the room, which can be interacted with to access the dream world, and a single desk with a notebook on it, where the player can save. Next to the desk is a light switch that can be turned on and off. The door to the right, presumably leading to the rest of the house, cannot be accessed, but the door to the top leads out to a wide balcony looking out on a sunny day -- a contrast to the gloomier balconies in both ''Yume Nikki'' and some of its better-known sequels, such as .Flow.
==Plot==
You play as [[A]]. A's dreams are rather light and childlike, meaning they possibly want to forget why they locked themself in and/or refuse to go out.

'''Zero Gravity '''allows the player to float at a very slow speed, granting the ability to go over walls that previously barred movement, particularly in the Shooting Star Area where it is found. Once the walls are passed, other effects can be used and the character can roam outside the original boundaries of the map.

'''Fruit Knife '''is the player's weapon, used to attack NPCs. The only significant event that comes as a consequence of killing these NPCS is one with three colored children in the area the knife is found, who turn into chasers when attacked. If they catch you, the game closes.
 
'''Frying Pan''' makes A hold a frying pan. It seems to be cosmetic.
 
==Worlds*==
From the dream world nexus, there are two accesible doors, to Sugar World, and Forest World, and one you can enter at the end of the game, which leads to Allan's house.
 
'''Time World'''
 
A dark area with white numbers floating in the background. In older versions this area was a lot brighter and hard to see in. A few NPCs wander here, such as people with clock faces, though they don't have much significance and only make noise if you interact with them. Twisted colorful arrows are scattered about, perhaps broken clock hands. The most notable features of this map are the entrances to Monochrome Underwater World and the Dream Bedroom, both of which lead to a number of effects.

*Rose Chaser Area

'''Sugar World'''
 
A pink sea studded with what appear to be candy-canes in bent shapes and lemon slices. If you sit at the bench in the small bus stop in this world, you will be transported to the Bus Area. Interacting with the fat, bleeding candy cane transforms the world into a slightly creepier version where droplets of blood are everywhere and a yellow letter child can be found along with the sprite of a man who appears to be writhing in pain.
 
Direct & Indirect connections:
*Bus Area
*Shooting Star World
*Restaurant Tower

'''Forest World'''
 
An area with snowy white paths and pink and blue pine trees. The only NPC here is a yellow comet from which you receive the Comet effect. There are two doorways here to get to other worlds -- a blue sketch pad with a hole in it, and a large blue house.

A small home where Allan lives with his mother. It features some of the darkest imagery in the game, especially when the house becomes distorted when you control the mother.

==Ending==
'''Waring: spoilers follow.'''
 
Once all nine effects have been found, the player is given access to the previously locked white door at the end of the hall. Opening it leads A to an empty white area. Heading north for a while reveals a blue house similar to the one in the area by the triangle. 
 
Walking into the house you see a woman, who seems to be the same woman as the chasers in A's dreams, at a kitchen table either dead, wounded, or asleep next to a pile of what appear to be fruit shavings or pills with a paring knife (perhaps the same kind from the Fruit Knife effect). She is assumed to be A's mother. The kitchen she is in is barred off, so the player is left either to explore the limited TV room or enter the bedroom. Once entered, you cannot exit. The only interactable items in the room are a picture of a flower, a xlyophone that makes a small sound, and an empty notepad next to some markers. Interacting with the notepad leads to the next scene.
 
The mother wakes from the table, but the house is now unsettling colors and infested with white worm-like creatures everywhere. The menu cannot be accessed at this time. She carries the paring knife. The only option is to enter the bedroom, which has also become distorted. You are able to kill the large worms squirming around, a shrill scream, a slice and glass breaking being heard.
 
You'll find A where you left him off -- except he is now a large purple tentacle monster with many eyes that are seeping blood. the room is now very light with bright pastel colours and squares on the floor with the letters A, B and C. The mother still carries the paring knife from earlier, and interacting with the monster from the front will make her kill it. You hear the monster/A's scream and the screen fades.
 
After a short intermission of "E N D" written on the screen in bright lettering, there is a scene of A laying in the pink sugar sea under two of the straws, paring knife off to the side. Then the screen reverts back to the title screen.
