Overview

Tsukodome (通考止め) is a Japanese fangame made by SS_Steer725 in RPG Maker VX Ace. The game stars Hikutsuki and Uwabami.

Gameplay

Tsukodome (通考止め) is a traditional fangame. The player can save at the desk and access the dreamworld by sleeping in the bed. To wake up, the player can use an item they obtain from the desk in the dream bedroom. When entering the bed while dreaming, there is a 1 in 64 chance of triggering a sequence, after which you will be able to play as Uwabami, who has a faster movement speed and his own dreamworld. Exiting the bedroom door while awake will swap back to Hikutsuki.

Plot

The player starts the game with Hikutsuki in the Nexus. The doors are all locked. She sees a trail of blood leading up to an injured figure slowly approaching the door to Hikutsuki's room. The figure then collapses before they can make it there. Hikutsuki walks over to them, but a scream is heard and she is instantly woken up in her bedroom, which is where the game begins.
