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 0.09

Originally, at the start of the game, the player could choose between Aoi and Yuuka, but in later versions, the player starts as Aoi by default, and Yuuka can be unlocked by viewing Aoi's ending. Aoi can access the Nexus immediately by leaving her room and saves at her desk. Yuuka enters the dream world by sleeping in her bed and saves using the book on her desk.

Aoi and Yuuka have different types of Media (メディア). Aoi has two different Media: usable effects and collectibles. Yuuka, on the other hand, only has usable effects. Additionally, both have Memories (思い出) that are required to unlock endings.

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.

Controls

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

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. The pause menu labels Aoi a "lost spirit", implying that she might be deceased.

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.
