Another Way

Overview
Another Way is a Yume Nikki fangame made by FenrirDarkWolf.

You play as Drake, a mad scientist whose trapped himself in his lab. He can explore his subconscious via the teleporter in his lab. The game was on hiatus for five years, between 2014 and 2019, until the creator released the final version on January 29, 2019.

Gameplay
Another Way is a traditional-styled fangame where the player explores the dream world and collect effects called Experiments in game. Experiments are used with the Shift key, and the player can return to the Lab at any time with the Return button from the main menu.

Plot
There is little to no plot, as the focus is more on exploring a mad scientist's subconscious. Drake could be exploring his subconscious for any number of reasons, from pure curiosity to self-experimentation to just for fun. There are very few people in his world.

In the real world, Drake can take the left-hand stairs go into a small hallway with an elevator that doesn't seem to work, and a smaller computer. From there, he can head onto his balcony. When you try to go onto the right stairs, he will say "No," or make a noise that indicates he does not want to leave.

Experiments (Effects)
Effects are called Experiments in this game. You can undo the effects of an Experiment with the "Normality" option in the Experiments screen. An interesting thing about the Experiments is that each one has it's own face portrait, save for a few.
