Overview
Agony is a Japanese fangame created by Beloth in RPG Maker VX Ace. The original release of this game was in English, starring Tsukiya and Miyo Yanohi. A remake was released a few years later, 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 1.00
Originally the player could choose between Aoi and Yuuka at the start of the game, 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 save 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 had two types of effects she could collect: Traumas and Fragments. Both could be accessed from the "traumas" option in the menu. She could access the dream world by leaving her room. The book on her desk was used to save.
Miyo only had one type of usable effects (simply called Effects), located in the "acts" section of the menu. Miyo could also collect unusable Memories. Miyo entered the dream world by sleeping at her table. A desk to the left of the table was used to save.

Plot
Version 0.01 (Remake)
You can play as Aoi and/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.
