A while back... or, more like a few years back, some crazy Japanese freeware developer decided it would be a great idea to creep everyone out. Finally it's seemed to have gotten translated, which really wasn't all that much of an improvement or necessity, as all that you really read is menus and item names.

The premise of the game is simple, for those curious. You play as a girl who dreams. And in these dreams, things happen. Bizzare things happen. Think Silent Hill meets Earthbound, as it's quirky but with some really dark humour and elements of oddity that you won't find anywhere else. The Object is to collect all 25 of the "Effects" that lay scattered about the deamscape. Some seem almost purely cosmetic, while others are necissary to continue or gain others. There's no dialog, no hints, no narratives, nothing. Just you exploring some dreams.

For those who haven't been creeped out thoroughly enough yet by whatever goes on in life, then I suggest you check is out here.

Here are some video examples for those who are... intrigued. This in particular got me to check out the game.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=cG2dfzow9ac&feature=related This one is more of a starting guide, so if you're extremely confused as to where to start off, there you go.

(I should also mention: There is an EB0 segment in the game. Menu and art style are present. I laughed my butt off)

I want this.

Time to download!

By the way, is the link you gave for the whole game or just the patch?

The entire game. And yeah. It's that weird in some spots. I'm lost as all crap, but I keep randomly stumbling upon things that make it interesting to keep me going.

Been playing it a bit, and... wow. Very wierd, but still fun to play around with. I get lost really easy though. What I'm curious about is if there's any actual goal in the game, or is just wander through the dream worlds exploring?

The goal is to get all of the items, and there IS an ending.

In what I've played, no, you can't die. However, I have been transported to a small square of trees twice, and was walking down what I believe was an endless highway. Although if you get stuck like that, you can just wake up and try again

            This game is pretty bizarre...

            After finding a few of the items, I ended up in the woods, on the side of a road, so I decide to follow the road. I keep going, until I find a place that is obviously a loop, because when I turn back, everything is different. I thought I was going back to the same area, but it took me to a similar road, and right in front of me... OMG! There's a guy laying in the middle of the street, with blood around him, and the police barricades have just enough room for me to fit through, so I know what I have to do... it's scary stuff.

            This reminds me of some other game... I can't remember the name of it, but it was a Playstation Japan only release and was apparently based off some guy's dream journal he'd been keeping for 5 years or something. Basically, you would just explore, and it was similar to games like Tail of the Sun and Aquanaut's Holiday. Can someone help me out?

            LSD was the name of the game, and it stood for different things depending on what opening animation you got.

              Winrar is an archiver just like Winzip, only better. It's a shareware program, but the trial version still has all the capabilities of the full one. You can get it here. Just click the top link

                You got it wrong dude. The file on the server is deleted if noone downloads in a 90 day period. That has nothing to do with the file itself.

                So when I start up the game, half my screen is covered in black, and no matter what I do it seems to be that way. When I take a screen shot it gets the whole screen as if it were all visible but it's really not.

                What a bizarre game. It borders on the lines of madness and genius. Exploring is interesting as I keep finding new effects and paths. I was getting a little tired of the slow pace until I found the bicycle. I only have 11 effects so far. I might try and find all 25 and see what kind of ending there could possibly be.

                Also, couple of questions....
                So I keep going to the "furnace" maze. The red glowing one with the 1 eyed monster. Does he do anything? I can stab him with the Knife but that is about it.

                Whats with the shadow guy on the train? If I stab him with the Knife he screams and vanishes. And if I use the Cat he seems surprised.

                And I found a huge teeth chattering white monster. I can make him stop with the Spotlight, but I am not sure what else I can do.

                sprite hyruleboy

                  Whaat? I went into my bed when I was dreaming, and I was sent to some stairs, and when I went down I was in a strange building. Anyway, after that I couldn't go there again...

                  Anyway, this game is wacked out, one second I'm in a sewer, the next I'm eaten by a red giant.

                      As far as I know, the giant guy inside the red maze does nothing. At least not yet, as I haven't gotten all the effects yet either.

                      However, the train guy... If you sit down on the bench in the train by pressing the use key, you'll sit down and it'll take you to a different area where you can get another power. Getting back though...

                      And to answer the question about the Demon effect, it allows you to make lightning happen in raining areas. Most of these powers are useless, but you can make things happen by pressing the 1 key (Knife switches hands, towel makes you sneeze, bike rings the bell, faceless ghost makes your head spin, etc).

                      I love this game.

                      INCORRECT.

                      Knife is in the super ultra dark room. You need the lamp ability to see it properly, which is found in the trippy area (Top right door, the grey one with a red eye thing).

                      Dont watch this if you don't want to see the ending. DONT WATCH IT. I SAID DON'T. WHY ARE YOU WATCHING IT.

                      So I have a few effects. This is a pretty interesting game, even if it is incredibly confusing. I can't tell what things have any relevance with certain effects or what's just atmosphere.

                      Also, is there any real point to dropping effects in the door room? I'd assume its so you can weed out the clutter of things that have no further use, but unless you've already played through it there's no way to know what you still need or not.

                      Oh, and is there any way to leave the video game in your room without just outright killing the application itself? It says to press ESC to exit, but it totally doesn't work.

                      I think I’ve gotten over kissing girls.

                      This game is very confusing and I have no idea about what to do, where to go, what the goal is, or what these people with beaks and googly eyes want from me.

                      There’s no point if it stops being fun.

                      So I'm up to 11 effects, and seem to be stuck. I'm having trouble finding new areas. But I have ended up in several dead end areas with characters that I can't interact with. I also have a bunch of effects that I have so far found no use for.

                      Thanks Gonmon. Got to the awesome EB0 area and parts beyond. The guy that made this sure has a creative mind. Many of the places I have seen all have great themes. Some of em really weird me out. (see attached)

                      Question...
                      Found a guy worshiping some kinda stone head. He was in the tunnels of that town you find in the Final Fantasy world map. I can make him move away from the stone head, but is there anything else I can do or is this just another bizarre red herring?

                      I was also able to get to the rooftop with the cat and the open skylight. I was able to take the escalator that is usually blocked by a traffic cone. Guess it appears randomly to stop you from going to the rooftop. Is there anything I can do up here?

                          And now I'm getting annoyed. I've got 21 Effects, and no idea where the others are. One I know I'm missing is the Witch. Also, there's this grey blob in the sewer area that blocks the right path. I can stab it, but all that does is make it get a face. Is there any other point to it?
