I honestly wanted to have something happen to legitimize the story I read, despite how ridiculous it was. I’m not one to discard a game because of its age, so I had a tolerance for the lack of graphic detail and the annoying sound made when you walk. At first, things seemed fairly interesting, but normal. You can also be murdered in this game while in the Violent City, but more about that in a second. As with normals dreams, death results in an awakening via return to the menu, with an additional dream under your belt. In addition to awaiting for the dream to complete itself, you can die. If you find a pathway, you can simply walk within it and be taken to it’s intended outlet. If you come into contact with a wall or an object within the game, your screen will flash and you will be taken to a different place in the world. Travel through these worlds comes in two forms: linking and paths. With time, however, the textures of the walls in all of the worlds become a bunch of different colors, designs, and sometimes images. At first, images might seem fairly normal. The dreams feed off of each other, such that the more you dream, the stranger your world becomes. Now, the game is very much up to your play. After a dream is completed, the screen fades away and you are taken to a screen the depicts whether your dream was Static or Dynamic as well as whether it was an Upper or Downer (they are the x and y axes, respectively). The dreams can last a variable amount of time, sometimes taking a few minutes, or perhaps up to around 10 minutes. The world has several different parts, some that are a little trickier to get to, some you will frequent if you play. Once you select the dream option, you are usually taken into a world where you control a character from a first-person perspective. I will refer to them as dreams from now on.

It took a little time, and the game had a very limited release (one which never left Japan) but I did manage to find all the components I needed to play it.Įach game is called “a Day” in the game. **If you want to get to the more interesting part of this story, skip down to the denoted areaĪnyway, having found the story ridiculous, but the game fantastic, I decided to hunt this game down.

After a particularly excited bout of wanting to find interesting/trippy images to observe/study, I came across a creepypasta story that discussed this game, entitled “LSD: Dream Emulator.” The story can be found here:
