LSD: Dream Emulator, 1998
Happy Town
Flash warning.
To refer to LSD: Dream Emulator as a game can be as misleading as it is reductive. It was a three-pronged attack on contemporary art conventions as they existed in the mid-to-late 1990s, one comprised of an interactive dream, a profusely illustrated journal, and an avant-garde electronic music album. It was also the most sophisticated coalescence of art and interactive media coming out of Japan at the time. There had never been anything like it before. One may even argue there has never been anything quite like it since.

Got bored so i doodled the silly lil gremlin dude from dream emulator
what are some things you look for in a game? what are some games in the past 5 years that you feel are really excellent and make use of the medium well? (however that looks like to you) :3c
Firstly, I look for the promise of a great story, be it sweeping and epic or straightforward and cathartic. (OFF, Chrono Trigger, Persona 5, TT’s The Walking Dead \season 1\, Lisa: The Painful RPG, To The Moon, The Cat Lady, Final Fantasy 6, Link’s Awakening, Bravely Default)
Secondly, I look for a game which excellently immerses you into its environment; a game whose world you don’t really want to ever leave. (Kentucky Route Zero, Abzu, Yume Nikki, The Stanley Parable, Dear Esther, Firewatch, Shadow of the Colossus, Journey,)
Thirdly, I look for something with a really unique art style, something I feel like I’ve never seen before. (Gingiva/Middens, Monument Valley, Thirty Flights of Loving, Crypt Worlds, Limbo, Her Story, Time Fcuk, LSD: Dream Emulator)
Lastly, I’ll likely play a game which lacks the previous three requisites if it has promise of becoming meta or subverting your expectations radically. (Doki Doki Literature Club!, NieR: Automata, Spec Ops: The Line, UNDERTALE, INSIDE, The Witness, Hatoful Boyfriend, Anatomy, The Beginner’s Guide)
