Overview
Someday is a Yume Nikki fangame made by Jojogape (DeviantArt , pixiv and Tumblr accounts).
In this game, you play as Itsuki, a boy who is trapped in a low-budget apartment because of a typhoon. The only thing left for him to do is sleep, and dream.
Gameplay
Someday is a traditional-styled fangame. The goal is to explore and collect all the effects. It has a light atmosphere and has very bright, unique graphics, it's known for its many areas to explore in the large nexus.
A new feature added in version 0.03 is the Feats system. Feats can be achieved by doing certain things in Itsuki's dream world, such as geting a certain effect, or interacting with a certain number of objects. Getting them is optional, though sometimes they unlock new content.
Effect use is the 1 key, and 9 is used to wake up (Itsuki covers his eyes.)
Plot
Itsuki is trapped inside his apartment due to a strong storm outside (looking out the window gives you a glimpse of the storm). Occasionally the power in his apartment goes out due to the storm, but dreaming and waking up again usally fixes it. It is unknown if he dreams for fun, or because there is nothing else to do waiting for the storm to subside. Most of Itsuki's dreams are very light, so it is possible he dreams to escape the real world in a similar way to Chie . The game is still at 0.05, so not much is known about plot/events quite yet.
Effects
So far there are 21 effects in the game, more will probably be added or changed later. Effects are used with the 1 key, but most effects are cosmetic.
