LSD: Dream Emulator

LSD: Dream Emulator

In LSD, the player navigates through a psychedelic dream world. The idea is to just walk around and explore things in a dream environment. There are many strange environments in this world, and one way to traverse them is on foot. However, if the player bumps into walls or other objects in the game, he/she is instantly transported to another environment through a system called "linking". Bumping into people, animals or special objects usually results in a strange dream. Each dream can last up to 10 minutes. After that, the player "wakes up", the screen fades, and the player returns to the game's initial menu. However, if the player falls off a cliff or into a hole in the dream, he/she wakes up immediately. At the end of each dream, a graph is displayed that records the player's state of mind. The states are "Upper", "Downer", "Static" and "Dynamic" and relate to the environment and general feeling of the dream the player just experienced. Earlier states can have an impact on later dreams.
