Overview
Deathbed Lullabye is an English fan game created by EBroxas72 and Laeaurra Flamehawk. Made in RPG Maker VX Ace.
It is a game created for Dream Diary Jam 5. This game takes place in the same universe as Ritual Denial, an upcoming YNFG by the same developers
Gameplay
Deathbed Lullabye plays similarly to a traditional fangame. How it differs from traditional fangames is due to how the player only has 7 opportunities to enter the dream world before they are forced to trigger an ending. and the dream world changes across the 7 nights, with events and locations becoming assessable and inaccessible depending on what night it is.
In this game you collects "Hearts" alongside effect. Hearts act like the Orbs you see in fan games like Me or LCDDEM. Collecting hearts will affect the endings in a future update.
