The Dreams of Melody Moonlight
It's been a long while after the incident, but Melody still hasn't moved on.

Everywhere she goes, her own mind is against her. It torments her, reminding her of all the horrible things she's had to bare. To help ease her mind, she decides to go to bed.

Little would Melody know that when she's fast asleep is when she's also the most vulnerable.

Annabelle: Projection
This is not a game.

This is a stupid projection of a worthless being.

We all know and love our friend, Annabelle.

But we are not Annabelle.

What happens when we are Annabelle?

Only Annabelle knows what it's like to be Annabelle.

Join us, and we can be Annabelle.

You can all finally see what it's like, to be Annabelle.

'''Note: This game is Semi-Canon to the series. Due to the game's origin as a vent game made in 13 days, there are some meta narrative elements included in the game that are not considered canon. However, certain story events, such as the introduction of the character known as Riley, the ending and the lesson Annabelle learned at the ending are all considered canon.'''

The Exorcism of Annabelle Sunray
Annabelle Sunray has finally woken up from her coma, only to be SNATCHED away from her best friend and placed into a religious rehabilitation center simply called “The Church”.

Clearly, things can only go right in a place like that.

Gameplay
The series plays like Yume Nikki with a linear structure. The structure of the Annabelle series is very story focused, with no random events.

You start as Annabelle and then switch to Melody's perspective for a portion of the story. Annabelle is a girl who lives in a apartment. She will not leave her apartment, yet she will be able to freely explore it before going to bed.

After going to sleep, Annabelle would travel through dream worlds in a specific order. Each dream world is treated like a level with puzzles and obstacles the player character must overcome. At the end of each world, the player will receive a effect that will help progression in later worlds. In The Dreams of Annabelle Sunray and The Dreams of Melody Moonlight, there is a hub world that the player must navigate in between each level in order to unlock the next world.

Annabelle: Projection has the player traveling from one world to another in a linear order, without stoping by a nexus nor a hub world.

The Exorcism of Annabelle Sunray has the player traveling through the real world in a linear order. It also feature chase sequences similar to the ones featured in The Dreams of Melody Moonlight.
