Overview
Agony is a Japanese fangame created by myrica in RPG Maker VX Ace. The original release of this game was in English, starring Tsukiya and Miyo Yanohi. A remake was released, replacing the protagonists with Aoi (葵) and Yuuka (優香) and changing the primary language to Japanese.
Gameplay
Agony plays like a traditional fangame, where the objective is to collect effects in the dream world.
Version 0.01 Remake
At the start of the game, the player can choose between Aoi and Yuuka. Aoi can access the Nexus immediately by leaving her room and save at her desk.
Yuuka enters the dream world by sleeping in her bed and saves using the book on her bedroom floor.
Version 0.01C3
Tsukiya has two types of effects she can collect: Traumas and Fragments. Both can be accessed from the "traumas" option in the menu. She can access the dream world by leaving her room. The book on her desk is used to save.
Miyo only has one type of usable effects (called Effects), located in the "acts" section of the menu. Miyo can also collect unusable Memories. Miyo enters the dream world by sleeping at her table. The desk on the left is used to save.

Plot
Version 0.01 (Remake)
You can play as either Aoi or Yuuka, two girls unwilling and/or unable to leave their rooms, and explore their dreams. The statuses on their pause menus and information in the debug room suggest that the two are sisters, with Aoi being older and Yuuka, the younger.
Version 0.01C3
Tsukiya is (possibly) comatose and her dreams hint at a dark past. Miyo's dreams on the other hand are more light-hearted. One area in Tsukiya's dreams implies that Tsukiya and Miyo know each other.
