* NiceHat: Sofi's bright red stocking cap.

* WhosLaughingNow: The game was first prototyped at a [=LucasArts=] "Dream Week" internal development contest. All of the games got ribbons for "Best Graphics", and so on, but ''Lucidity'' received none. [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], it was the ''only'' game to get greenlit and got a release. One of the developers [[https://www.digitalgamemuseum.org/september-2014-newsletter/ sought out]] the manufacturer of the ribbons to make [[https://www.digitalgamemuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_2012.jpg special black ribbons]] for the team, which read "[=LucasArts=] Dream Week Loser -- But Our Game Got Made".

''Lucidity'' is a 2009 puzzle platformer by Creator/LucasArts. It stars a little girl named Sofi who traverses her dreams and is not directly controlled by the player. Instead, she continually walks forward and it’s the player’s job to guide her safely to the end of each level by use of randomly generated objects, such as a staircase to connect platforms and a spring to jump to otherwise out-of-reach areas.

On the opposite side of the spectrum is ''VideoGame/{{Limbo}}''.

* ThankingTheViewer: Of course, there is one after the player gets pretty much everything. [[spoiler: It is in the form of one final postcard from Sofi's grandma in the mailbox of the final bonus stage. It starts off with "Dearest Sofi" like all others, before quickly breaking fourth wall and telling her that the team at LucasArts gives thanks for playing. Then she ends it off by doing the grandmotherly thing by telling Sofi to "get off the computer and go to bed."]]
