Deathbed Lullabye

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.

The player can choose to activate a "loop" after triggering an ending, sending the player back to night 1. how ever doing so will cause the player to lose all items/effects/hears/ relevant to the story or achieving any endings. but the player will keep any items or effects that are not deemed as not needed for the story.

The dream world changes across the 7 nights, with events, npcs, and locations becoming accessible 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.
