History VideoGame / LSDDreamEmulator

[[caption-width-right:300:[[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs Quite the accurate title.]]]]

** Possibly unintentional, but the textures (aside from Normal), are '''Logic''', '''Sexual''', and '''Downer'''.
** Since Logic is usually known as "Kanji", it probably is an accident.

* NeverTrustATitle: For something named "Lovely Sweet Dream", this game contains a lot of rather offputting [[NightmareFuel nightmarish stuff]]. The ''other'' signification of the acronym "LSD", on the other hand, [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs is pretty appropriate]].

''LSD: Dream Emulator'' is a [=PS1=]-era game created by Creator/OsamuSato (who also made ''[[VideoGame/EasternMindTheLostSoulsOfTongNou Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou]]''), and only released in Japan. It's a CultClassic, especially among LetsPlay groups. There is no goal, no combat, nothing but walking around the completely random environments. The main appeal for players is its insanity — one day, you might see a line of elephants walking into a pit, while other times you might encounter [[FanNickname the Grey Man]], the closest thing to a recurring villain. Imagine a randomized ''VideoGame/YumeNikki''.

* GratuitousEnglish: Happy Town is usually stylized internally as ''HAPPY TOWN'', consistently in [[CapsLock all caps]] and in contrast to every other location being in Japanese.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Giant, ''tie-dye'' penguins.

Perhaps the scariest thing about the game is that it's ''all real'', in a sense. One of the employees at the company who made it, Hiroko Nishikawa, was having very disturbing dreams and recorded it all in a dream journal. She later presented to the company, and it got made into this game. If you want to read the original journal, it has been released as ''Lovely Sweet Dream'', but it's even more difficult to find than the game itself.

It's classified as LSD in HD according to how it is being described. Current version available for download [[https://gamejolt.com/games/lsd-revamped/46475 here]].

* LetsPlay: After Creator/{{Azuritereaction}} (often known for his ''VideoGame/RockBand'' videos) played this, it became quite popular to play it and film your reactions.

* EarWorm: Many of the background songs if they aren't harsh or scary can easily get stuck in your head if you stay in an area long enough.
