Walking into anything moves you to a new area, which the game calls "Linking". That's the strange thing about this game, you can interact with anything. I walked along the hallway I started in, and walked into a Bookcase, and the screen faded to white. The entire game was played in a First-Person view. One thing I had learned from the Yahoo group, was that the first Day always started in a Japanese House, with three floors. Start, Save, Load and Options.Above Start, there was a line of text, telling you what Day you were on.
There was no "Press Start" screen, it just went straight to a screen with 4 or 5 options. I pressed the circle button, and the game went to the title screen. Different colored words bounced across the screen, spelling out "Linking the Sapient Dream" multiple times (Apparently this is what LSD stood for). The intro video started playing after that. There was no copyright screen, but they had removed it from several other games as well. The Playstation logo came up as usual, but with SCEI instead, as it was a Japanese game. So, I made an account, bought a JPN PSN card, and purchased the game, and after downloading and installing, I began playing it. I remembered how much I had tried to play it, even browsing eBay a few times, in the vague hope that a cheap copy surfaced. Then, earlier this year, LSD was released on the Japanese Playstation Network. I didn't have a Playstation console, and my attention span was short, and I had long since moved on to other things, like Eversion, and Yume Nikki. We managed to successfully rip the game, but we have never managed to get it working on emulators, only the original hardware."īy this point, I had practically given up on it. I was one of members of the ripping group who released the LSD rip. I posted a question, asking if anyone had managed to get the game working on emulators, and a few days later, I received an answer. I learned that the game had a cult following, both here and in Japan, and I eventually found a small yahoo fan group, dedicated to the game. I tried posting questions on various gaming sites, but hardly anyone had heard of the game and even less had played it.
LSD DREAM EMULATOR PS3 TORRENT ISO
I tried re-downloading the ISO multiple times, trying it from different websites, but every single one was the same. Unfortunately, the ISO was corrupted - or incorrectly ripped - as I couldn't get any further than the title screen and, when I did, all I saw was a mess of color and heard a strange fuzzing sound, like radio static. Naturally, I downloaded it, converted it, and started playing. Occasionally, dreams may be invaded by an apparition called the Grey Man, who can appear out of nowhere and remove your ability to remember a dream in Flashback mode.Artwork by Dragonwarrior-kyna from DeviantARTĪ few years ago, while searching on /x/ for Paranormal or Creepy games, I came across an obscure Japanese Playstation game, called "LSD: Dream Emulator." Despite the game releasing in extremely limited numbers, many ROM sites had it available for download. There is no goal in the game, except to emulate dreams, ranging from colorful and happy, to dark and unsettling. Textures can be completely randomized, and upon starting a new dream, you can not have the same one twice in a row, though dreams can be replayed using Flashback mode (unlocked after 20 days have passed), which is an option to revisit the same areas and allow you to choose different paths, though only for 3 to 5 minutes. Gameplay takes place over various days, and after a long time passes, the counter resets, though the game can still be played. After the dream ends, it is displayed on a graph showing whether it is considered Upper, Downer, Static or Dynamic. Coming into contact with any object or wall in the dream can result in warping to another part of a dream, which can go on for very long (up to 10 minutes), or can be cut short by falling off cliffs or through floors. The gameplay is simple, walking around various dreamscapes and occasionally discovering surreal visuals. Inspired by a "dream journal" written by Hiroko Nishikawa, LSD is basically a simulation-based game themed around dreams and nightmares.
