About the Game

LSD: Retro Dream Emulator is a surrealist first-person adventure/walking simulator game about dreams, featuring

* trippy, psychedelic visuals

* challenging platforms

* experimental cosmic horror elements

* and last but not least, an overarching feeling of NEVER knowing what to expect.

It explores the idea of a mind losing its grasp with reality, as reality turns into a dream, and that dream turns into a nightmare. It has an off-kilter tone that can shift from overly chill to downright scary. Often it resembles an acid trip, or an interactive fever dream.

A Retro game influenced by the original LSD: Dream Emulator from PSX and cosmic horror. Immerse yourself in a dreamy and psychedelic world through low poly environments and liminal spaces.

The game contains gameplay with lots of dreamy scenarios, even more freaky visuals, deconstructed urban landscapes and/or dreamscapes, existential angst, and a bit of horror.

Explore your deepest thoughts in this game that challenges your mind, between dreams and reality.

Inspired by the art of artists like Moebius, H.P. Lovecraft, Alejandro Jodorowsky, H.R. Giger, and more.

A TOTAL experience.
