Overview

"Álom" is an English fangame being made by PixelNovak in RPG Maker MV. Explore Alek's dreams, collect memories and effects (some cosmetic/some that change gameplay) to discover his backstory, and unlock different endings.

Although PixelNovak is Brazilian, the game is planned to be entirely in English (TBD).

Gameplay

Inspired by Yume Nikki/Mother, with cartoonish pixel art graphics unlike other fangames, and 3D sections akin to Petscop's gameplay.

The player's room consists of a dirty bedroom and a dirty bathroom next to it, the player's able to enter the dream world by sleeping on the mattress, and save the game on the bathroom's sink. In the dream world, the main character's room is empty, and you can exit to a Red Room/Nexus.

The current demo doesn't have an ending, only four effects and two memories available.

Álom supports both keyboard and XInput controls, buttons here use the Xbox joystick as a template. Keyboard and Joystick are divided by an "/".

Plot

You're a boy named Alek, living by himself in his own room. What are Alek's reasons for that? This can be theorized by traveling through Alek's dreams and seeing his memories. The game won't have heavy downer endings, for those who don't like heavy topics such as those of suicide.

Effects

As of now, there are four effects available in the v0.1.1 demo, with 10 planned in total for the game.

You can use some effects's secondary abilities by pressing Shift/X.
