Overview
FOG (フォグ) is a Yume Nikki fangame being made by riki-xenon with RPG Maker 2003 and RPG Maker MV. It is the first game in the dreamFOG (ドリームフォグ) franchise. The current versions are v0.0.41R (RPG Maker 2003 version for Windows), released on June 26, 2016, and v0.0.40M (RPG Maker MV version for Windows and browsers), released on April 15, 2016.
Gameplay
From the Nexus, the dreamer can explore several different dream worlds. Within the dream world, they can collect various effects and perks, which can be equipped to raise certain stats which may affect their dreams.
FOG has included various puzzles throughout the dream world since the first release. Those puzzles are generally based on various visual and audio cues; solving them may reveal Effects and Perks.
As an RPG Maker MV game, version M of FOG already supports gamepads, including the Xbox 360 controller. Version R, which only supports three-button gamepads due to its nature as an RPG Maker 2003 game, will come with improved gamepad support in v0.0.50R, although it is already possible to wake up with the gamepad by using the Effects menu.
Plot
The game takes place on November 1998, and it follows the lucid dreaming exploits of Leon, Tegan, and Emory, as they explore their shared but corrupted dream world after their friendship fell apart. They may find ghosts of each other, as well as recurring antagonists such as Fedoras and Shadow Creatures. Although FOG has no dialogue, Leon, Tegan, and Emory may find messages visually encoded as numbers, colors, or shapes or auditorily encoded as Morse code.
Leon and Tegan share the same 12-door staircase Nexus, although they cannot enter each other's bedrooms. Emory's Nexus, however, is a three-tier chamber with 17 doors, out of a planned 32.
