YMMV / LcdDem

Go To

  • Awesome Music: The game is made by a professional composer, after all.
  • Fridge Brilliance: A large amount of characters don't come back if you kill them, unlike in Yume Nikki and other games inspired by it. They aren't the only corpses Chie's unable to bring back to life, after all.
    • Fridge Horror: There's some of this in a meta-sense, as, apparently, deletion of the game and all, if not most things, related (anything online related to the author is also gone) really seems to imply that the author, Koronba, had something they really wanted to forget or that the author was depressed. If both or either are true, then the deletions would imply something worse.
      • Koronba had a habit of deleting their old works and accounts in the past as well, to the point that LCD DEM's soundtrack was entirely replaced by a new one in the final update. In any case, they still on-and-off used Twitter and Bandcamp until 2016, which is when they updated the site to reaffirm that we still aren't supposed to be talking about it. Even though Koronba's likely alive, it definitely makes the game feel darker.
  • Tear Jerker: The ending. Chie leaves her room to enter another room, where a dead body is found in a pool of blood. She tries to pinch her cheek, only to see it's not a dream, and she kneels down by the body and cries. A lot of people believe that the body was Chie's own mother.
