Overview
DRY is a Yume Nikki fangame made by Forty, creator of Ignite. Interestingly enough, Feutsuki even appears in this game as a cameo. Its title seems to be a pun/gag because its protagonist, Dry, is an alcoholic, therefore he is rarely "dry". It features a prologue/intro with dialogue that informs the player of the setting.
The main part of the game also has some dialogue, but is not the main focus. DRY is drawn in mostly grey shades, making it look somewhat depressing. Due to it being a demo, the game is very short. Ver1 of DRY is currently in development.
Gameplay
After the intro, the actual game starts. The main character is camping somewhere. The game can be saved by sitting in front of the fire. The CD player in the tent allows Dry to enter something like a different reality. The dream gameplay involves exploration and collecting effects, called "Tracks" in this game. You can go back to reality by Ejecting the CD through the menu.
Plot
DRY is about an alcoholic deer named Dry, who had recently graduated from college and is about to enter university. The game begins with him sitting in a pub and asking the bartender for another drink, but he talks him out of it and tells him to go home.
The problem is Dry is far away from home right now, as his father gave him a CD that should help him to overcome his addiction. His father said that Dry should be far away from home for it to work, so he took a tent and traveled to the place where the game starts.
