Overview
Cerasus (Ce-ra-soos or Che-ra-soos (Cherry in Latin) is an English Yume Nikki fangame created by Isasapiens in RPG Maker MV, for Dream Diary Jam 4.
Gameplay
Cerasus is a traditional fangame in many ways, as exiting through the door leads to the nexus, skipping the "awake" part entirely. Much like the author's previous game, Me , the game seems to center not only on collecting effects, but also on collecting "notes", though said notes seem to have more use as they are used via the protagonist's accordian via pressing shift while not having an effect and playing the commands shown on the screen.
An also unusual characteristic on this game is that saving is enabled nearly anywhere, as well as being able to move diagonally. To add, the movement seems to be much faster than usual.
Plot
The game stars Reshnha, a tall adult man, who has apparently been spirited and trapped into the dream world, much to his chagrin, and now he has to collect all seven of the notes to escape back into his world. However, some details appear to be unclear from a first glance, such as what or who he is and his true nature, or why has he been stuck in this world to begin with. The game seemingly answers some of the questions given, but others seem to be up in the air.
Effects
There are 5 Effects in the game, total.
