Wacky dream emulator game

**Flying Spaghetti Monster** · 07-12-2011 03:34 AM

i just found this game for PS1 in which the only objective is to navigate a dream world. it's even based on a dream journal.
it's called LSD: Dream Emulator.
i've been playing it a bit and it's incredibly bizarre. below is a video of some of the strange scenery in the game (skip to around 2 min for gameplay)

i guess wikipedia can explain far better than i: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD_(video_game)

if you would like to play it and need help getting it for computer please PM me

Yeah, this is an awesome game, but I'd hardly call it a 'dream emulator'. SUPPOSEDLY, it was based on some guys dream journal, which was then randomized and put into game form. Or something.

yeah pretty much. the most intriguing part of the game is that its made up of these ten minute adventures through random dream environments. kinda nightmarish at times though

Hahahaha wtf just happened? I want to play this lol

Best to play this game at night, alone, with the lights off and sound up.

Trust me.

I would know.

HAHAHA so true! did this in a WBTB a couple nights ago and got so absorbed in the patterns in the music and everything. I love this game, even if it is incredibly creepy at times

This. For sure. I remember playing this for as long as I could in the dark at 2am when I was quite tired, oh my god. I took a bunch of screencaps-- did you know there's nudity they use for some of the textures in this game? @__@

**Kitties** · 07-14-2011 02:17 AM

^ I.. I think I might be too creeped out to do that lol

**JussiKala** · 07-14-2011 02:22 AM

Been playing this for an hour or so. Amazing. Really has a great atmosphere.

**Kitties** · 07-14-2011 03:29 AM

I keep just running into shit because I'm too scared to explore. Hahaha. The music is trippinng me outt too. woah

hahah the music is so bizarre, i like how the same 'patterns' are repeated with different voices. its the same with the textures and worlds in the game.

glad to hear you guys are enjoying it!

I am so addicted to this game and afraid to play it at the same time. XD It just strikes a chord with me and really creeps me out. I like being creeped out, though. : P

If you can, get a hold of the artbook, Lovely Sweet Dream. There are excerpts from the guy's actual dream journal. While I don't think this is a dream emulator, it's still a nice, obscure entry into my obscure japanese games collection. (I love living in Japan.) The artbook has each entry in Japanese and is translated into English, same page.

**littledreamer** · 07-14-2011 10:30 PM

Trippy. Lol. Remake it with current-gen 3D graphics and i'll give it a play.

**Spenner** · 07-14-2011 11:28 PM

^Oh goodness that would be SO cool and horrifying.

But yeah, I love everything about it, it's a bizarre little engine that's fun to just explore around. I'm almost at Day 99 on my savefile from my downstairs computer (where I used to play it at night o___o)

thanks for informing me! i'm downloading it now

that sounds incredible!

i know what you mean about being addicted and afraid at the same time haha, i feel like i have to make it to the 'end' of the game, whatever that may be, but it just gets more and more creepy!

haha i had this thought too after playing it for a while, it would be the most insane game. does anyone else think that it would be hugely successful? hahaha i'd buy whatever console i had to to play it.

**Kezune** · 07-15-2011 01:41 PM

I'm glad I could help! I haven't filled the in-game 'graph' yet. You'll unlock more and more FMVs as you play, though. Have fun and good luck!

**MrIrony** · 07-15-2011 02:06 PM

W-what was that? It seems like someone went to sleep while really, really high. I must get it.
I checked the wiki and my thoughts were confirmed. It's from Japan.

Is there really nudity in the textures? This game has a D rating from the CERO (which is 17+).

i've seen some textures that looked almost explicit but i'm pretty certain that there isn't any proper nudity in the game.
but it is early days, still haven't completed the graph.
If anyone does they should let us all know what happens, if anything
