Overview

UBOK. is a Japanese collaborative project between SDS and RAHU developed in RPG Maker 2000. The latest version was released in 2011. The game's production was cancelled in mid-2012.

The game is known for its medical and skeletal motifs.

Gameplay

In UBOK, the player needs to collect Bones (effects) and 9 scattered pages in the main character's dreams to unlock one of two endings. The player enters the dream world by sleeping in the bed, and saves by interacting with the laptop

There is a debug room accessible from the room in the real world by interacting with the wall on the left of the door. There's also a minigame that can be played using the console next to the TV.

Controls

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

Plot

The game stars Eric, a relatively wealthy hikikomori who, in his bed, explores the realm of his dreams. From the various effects and areas in UBOK, it is possible Eric had some sort of bone complications/surgery that affected him throughout his life, or was a rather sickly person growing up. He most likely kept notes/a journal of his days, which is what you find scattered in his dreams.

Bones (Effects)

Effect	Image	Description
Bone Legs (足骨)		Eric's legs turn into skeleton legs, doubling his speed.
Skull (頭骨)		Eric turns into a floating skull. Pressing SHIFT makes his eyes flare up and illuminate dark areas.
Bone Arms (腕骨)		Eric's arms turn into skeleton arms, allowing him to kill NPCs by interacting with them.
Stretchy/Cartilage (軟骨)		Eric becomes stretchy (made of cartilage). Pressing SHIFT warps him back to the door of his dream room.
Spine/Lumbar Vertebrae (脊柱)		Eric's lumbar spine is exposed. Pressing SHIFT makes his upper body bounce with a clicking sound, stopping most NPC movement.
Bone Neck/Cervical Spine (首骨)		Eric turns into pieces of the neck spine. Pressing SHIFT plays some rattling sounds.
Ilium (腸骨)		Eric's ilium is exposed and snow falls.
