Has anyone played the XBox Live Arcade title "Lucidity"?
It's a platformer based on the premise of a girl traveling through her dreamscapes.
I am downloading the demo from Live right now to see if it is worth buying...I am especially interested to see if they included any allusions to lucid dreaming or integrate any kind of educational info about lucid dreaming techniques in it.
It's also on Steam for the PC users. I haven't tried it yet, and while you are indeed lucidly dreaming (you are the character, you know you are dreaming) it is not the core aspect of the game. The core aspect is exploring.
I personally won't bother, lucid dreaming in a game does not work. It ends up as a normal explore/puzzle game with the background of lucidity and games have a lot of restrictions, pretty much the opposite of lucid dreams.
I think it's looks fun. I like games about dreams. Psychonaut was cool. I'd rather play a massive single player RPG, or an MMORPG, though. The cool thing is this game will get people thinking about dreaming.
Heres a game play video, Guys.

Yeah I played 5 minutes of the demo and it's just not for me.
I like platformers alright but the pace is extremely slow and it is really more for children, I think.
Regarding integrating lucid dreams into video games in general, I definitely think someone could make a kick ass RPG / mystery game out of the concept. I know it has been discussed here on the forum in the past but to all the naysayers I say nay to you.
Has anyone here played NiGHTS? That's about dreaming and I thought it was pretty good.
