LSD: Dream Emulator

Summary

In LSD, the player journeys through a surreal, hallucinogenic dream realm. The core concept is simply to wander and discover within this dreamlike setting. The world is filled with bizarre and unusual environments, and one way to move between them is by walking. However, if the player collides with walls or other in-game objects, they will be instantly transported to a new location via a feature known as "linking." Hitting people, animals, or unique items often leads to an even more unusual dream experience. Each dream session can last up to 10 minutes, after which the player "wakes up"—the screen fades out and they return to the game’s main menu. That said, if the player falls off a cliff or into a pit during the dream, they will awaken immediately. After every dream, a graph appears that records the player’s mental state; the states include Upper, Downer, Static, and Dynamic, reflecting the tone and atmosphere of the dream just experienced. Previous states can influence future dreams.
