LSD Dream Emulator

1998 was a long time ago wasn't it ? What do you people remember playing at that time ? Specificaly on the Playstation . I played platformers , other people played RPG's or puzzle games .

But in Japan , some kids got their hands on this baby .



And it's just what you think it is . And I know for a fact you have no idea what you're thinking . And you're stil right .

The game is basicly one huge trekk . Where you can't interact with anything .

Let me re-iterate that . In this game , you cannot interact with anything .

And it's awesome.


What you see above is from one of the several locations , called "Happy Land" by fans . It is here that you find one of the most pleasing sounding set of tiles in the whole game . You see , the game makes a sound of walking whenever you move .

Or rather the sound of dying goats in scottish moors on midnight ...... during an air raid . And as for the icy sufraces.....no coment .

There is a conection between each location , but you'll probably end up touching something that will warp you elsewhere , or the dream you are curently playing will end . Then said experience will find a place on the dream chart , which sometimes can trigger a series of 19 FMV videos , that you already probably saw throughout the game , to play nonstop before going back to the game .

Also , each wapring may end up completely screwing the textures , with grass and sand having Japanese writting all over them .



Finaly , there is the Gray man . Whenever you meet him and don't run away on time , you will lose the "flashback" option , aka the ability to see short moments from previous dreams and briefly interact within them .

As for the goal , there is none . After finishing the 365th dream , a short FMV called "ending" plays , showing the deformed mascot of the game twisting around and shapeshifitng before reseting the timer to "Day 001" .



Overall it is a nice game , but you probably should take time and explore it throughout several sessions over a longer period of time . Because even if you've seen someone's walkthrough of the game , there always may be something new that you may run into .


Rating : 7.5/10 hallucinations , due to the.....walking sounds .
