Fun Fact: I've now played so many PS1 styled horror games that this is actually what my dreams look like! ;)

[@youwaisef]

Woah

[@alexriggerson5715]

I want that to happen to me. Too bad I have no PC and no money to afford one to play these. Sad

[@ramentabetai1266]

Bro, please check out Deedlit in wonder labyrinth(metridvania that's better than IGA's own Bloodstained) and Unreal Life(yume nikki+one shot kind of thing, beautiful).

Hey, dev here! Thanks so much for checking out my game, ABG! I'll be honest, my heart skipped a beat when I saw this video pop up on my feed. So happy you enjoyed it!

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Haha, you're welcome! It really is a fantastic game. Loved every minute of it. Each dreamworld is beautifully crafted and is a fascinating place to explore. Awesome work! :)

[@UBRambo56]

I like how you used mega man footsteps for the movement.

[@teratoma.]

the game has tight aesthetics, great job

[@madamemonstress3028]

Hey, a new fan here! I loved everything about this game and as an artist the aesthetics of each world were super inspiring. I hope to check out other stuff you’ve made.

[@HorrorWorldx]

It’s beautiful

[@saintkohle]

What I love about this is that, unlike a lot of the other PS1-styled indie titles I've seen, this one actually looks like a legit PS1 game. No excessive texture warping or super polygonal models - fantastic!

[@queenofnarnia1011]

I found this game... honestly kinda wholesome. the cat level and the snow level particularly. and the sky level was beautiful

[@totallysix2569]

i loved the cat temple :) the monks are just.. vibing

[@MoogMonster554]

I always liked the idea of LSD Dream emulator more than I actually liked the game. This on the other hand feels much more like a real game. Love it!

[@GundhamTanaka2]

LSD Dream Emulator vibes. That game gave me some... good dreams, that were probably nightmares that my brain couldn't register.

[@delko000]

why do i prefer watching walkthrough of obscure indies rather than AAAs?

[@delko000]

@Kyle Broflovski good answer

[@Indoor_Carrot]

Indie games like to experiment wacky and new concepts. AAA games are kindof unoriginal

[@Takumiotoko]

Cause AAS games are no longer about fun, just quick recycled and unoriginal cash grabs

[@HeccOnlyfans]

I get a weird but cool feeling looking at PS1 graphic with first person perspective that it's camera movement goes smoothly. Really different compared to actual PS1 FPS games, even if it runs on PC emulator. Good game indeed.

[@adamwhitef7ck697]

8:14: That's commitment right there.

[@HellAintHalfFull]

You had me at *HYPNAGOGIA.*

[@Nov-5062]

They took the super inspired yet poorly executed LSD game and improved it a lot. Exactly what I wanted.

[@spitgorge2021]

LSD was pretty damn good but aight

[@TyuErt]

"poorly executed"

[@Nov-5062]

@@TyuErt Yeah, kinda.

[@mateuszszulecki5206]

Actually LSD Dream Emulator is more of an experiment/experience than a game really

[@sveiki429]

Well, what do you expect from Playstation 1 game that was created in 1998

[@MusicoftheDamned]

Gods, even knowing the game would inevitably descend into nightmare, the very last line of dialogue is extremely ominous, in part because it's not a threat--it's promise and statement of fact. The game looks neat, especially for being done by one person in less than a month.

[@daniellugo3647]

which one do you mean exactly ?

[@MusicoftheDamned]

The literal last words of dialogue in this playthrough that start at 01:05:42. Even if that entity is lying, it's less that it's threatening you and more that it genuinely views your present refusal and your insistence to leave/wake as pointless in the end.

[@Indoor_Carrot]

Oh man, the old school sony and play station logos gave me a nostalgia trip XD

[@sk1nnybonez]

and the sound too!!!

[@christopherlopez5134]

"find the figure" hit a little too close to home with the room with the glass floor...

[@Tulekahju_Renartus]

Just played today, absolutely awesome. It's the perfect evolution of the original LSD idea, with all the absudity and weirdness included. And though it's a short game I really enjoyed it, I even finished it 2 times in a row

[@allenko1312]

Really digging this channel a lot. Love the types of games you play, end up binge watching your videos whenever I see one I like.

[@apersonwhoknows]

"Best to leave them undesturbed" starts jumping on top of one of them.

[@CrumblesXo]

I watched 20 minutes of this and now I’m going to play and stream! Thanks a bunch! ❤️

[@sloedwn7710]

I think every game should be inspired by LsD haha. But this one looks super cool!! Love the almost Jumping Flash PS1 feel to it. Very awesome.

[@Takumiotoko]

This is a ps1 inspired game done right. Those models and textures, just the overall look made me feel nostalgic. I remember playing so many games that looked like this

[@Indoor_Carrot]

"The orange figure watches you" (ABG proceeds to look up at the sky) XD

"They are meditating, they're best to leave undisturbed." ABG: That sign can't stop me because I can't read!

[@fumetsusozo]

Amazing little game. Something about it really relaxes me. Thanks for making a video on it as I never would had known it existed otherwise! I decided to download it even after watching the whole video, as it quite appeals to me!

[@MegaDude10]

I actually love how it emulates the PlayStation to the point it even has a fake boot up sequence. I legit had a rush of nostalgia when the game started up.

[@eldarhighelfhealermiriella7653]

Seems like ABG lives in a 1995 loop. He really likes Playstation 1 games.

[@chonknorgget1770]

I believe hypnogogia is the term for the state between wakefulness and sleep, clever title.

I had a pack of game jams on my desktop, forgot to check on them. good to see this is out!

I’m in love with this game wish there were more dreams and stuff cuz it’s amazing

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

I love how ABG approached the giant cat cautiously, with fearful respect. A chonk to be reckoned with.

[@dragonchild_]

The beautiful freedom of the Dreamscape is more of a home to me than anywhere I've been in waking life. Words cannot describe how comforting and important it is to see visuals of the Dreamscape.

[@aesthetic1448]

That ending gave me chills !

[@P4RR4P4lp]

that snow level soundtrack is amazing also the dev made a super nice 1 hour game by himself in less than a month and AAA studios struggle to pull of 6 hours with years of development, 500 people and millions of dollars. impressive af

[@LockedChest]

Such a great youtube channel with awesome content, and such a huge amount of games covered :D

[@TitansTracks]

Damn that intro takes me back! 💎

sounds like a megaman legends walking

Now this is what you call a bad trip...no not really, until maybe around the 30 minute mark

[@MrsStormtrooper]

This is amazing, beautiful portrait of what dreams are like! Wish I could play it, but it kinda hurts so for me to watch this :( I'm dyslexic and the wavy movements just destroyed my eyes...

[@osharebones8193]

very cool reminds me of broken reality

[@Kankan_Mahadi]

This game, although quite imaginative & creative, is pretty predictable. I just know from the very beginning that things will start out cute & harmless but later on delve into the horror side. But hey it's nice the developer remembered to give credit to their cat.

[@spitgorge2021]

honestly it went a little more surreal than anything else

[@Kankan_Mahadi]

@@spitgorge2021 They're dreams, they're always *surreal.* Why do you think they call artists who create art from what they saw in their dreams (like I do) *"surrealists"?*

Hold up... Are those Mega Man Volnutt’s step sound effects from Mega Man Legends?

[@Chicken-Cha-Chas]

“This lifeless mannequin feels unfulfilled.” That hits a bit too close to home…

Now i know what to play next time i trip

[@MaudlinDreams666]

super cool game. I watched the whole thing and it was quite a journey.

[@mrshaines7075]

Hey I’m doing my art project on hypnagogia and anything like it, anyone have any ideas? I’d appreciate anyone helping me feel sane because I do feel like it’s a crazy thing to be focusing an art project on instead of the usual fruit and veg/ landscapes themes, although I would love to fit a landscape in what I’m doing!

[@blazingblasian4257]

What a funky word that is!

[@adellerulli]

47:17 Hey! It's a song from Final Fantasy 7!

[@ReyaitheShadowWolf]

The music during the "Find the Figure" segment is just so hauntingly beautiful and bizarre. I can't really put into words how much I love it paired alongside the visuals of that segment. So very Silent Hill-esque.

[@Chaosian]

A bit too linear, talky, and not quite eclectic enough to really emulate LSD (can you imagine spending 10 minutes in one place in that game) - but I really like the style and theming of each area. They seem well thought-out.

[@luizda1279]

The first level was inspired by a picture. Does anybody know the name?

[@miiroajagapakeyanglain7063]

Remind me of Sato Wonderland

[@YautjaElderWarrior]

Which is also inspired by Osamu Sato (the creator of LSD for ps1) works

[@davek7289]

9:40 RLcraft nymph noises, hopefully that thing cures you lmao

[@FavaroLeone]

i wish it was randomly generated like the og game, hopefully a sequel could give us that. if possible.

[@mikhail4]

This looks soo good

[@disdanzafilm]

This was created in dreams for ps4.

[@xXMaoKittyCatXx]

Love the graphics

[@ZECRA602]

I feel sick just by watching it

[@clab5407]

Same.... the game is absolutely impressive and beautiful but something about the gameplay-music combo made me nauseous. Especially that last hellscape level

[@samferngamerhd4204]

This is gonna be cool.

[@jayrodro1258]

Soooo based on the length of this video and time of upload....many of you are deep in the matrix..hope all is well....See ya soon??

[@ACEnBEAKY]

It’s like if you took the Ps1 version of Zelda and Mario, and said “let’s make it first person.” A first person interactive platformer.

[@plutonium09]

12:19 does anyone know what all the gods rule over besides this one (in this format) I would really like to know lol

[@chrisl8277]

The platform jumping gave me anxiety

[@ilpelosulloschermo]

Fish on the grounds = Logical

[@eliasdutra1555]

The form here is making the game not much relatable to psychedelia at all. Text dialogues just for the sake of "retro gaming" really kills the vibe; if you are tripping, you just don't read, things come to meaning in different ways. I could call this game oniric, but the game itself seems much more worried in being another PS1 style game than anything else.

[@HoneycombTheywontletmeputjusto]

That honestly seems like a limitation in the lack of time and voice actors more than a stylistic choice to me.

[@eliasdutra1555]

yeah I forgot it was a game jam, you're right

[@Initia333]

Wait everybody to busy to make sure their boy gets fed so he can survive? What the hell.

[@imeggscellent7117]

the gardener kinda reminds me of shrek

[@zkqkssldnxnxkf2999]

It's not a peaceful game, it's an infuriating game. I was at the top, and I landed at the bottom. All because I have a bad connection, the images are late.

[@Wabbajock_Dugatti]

Lol the snow part towards the end reminds me of red dead redemptions ambarino

[@M4r.17]

How is this dream aesthetic called? I've been looking for more of this, like atmospheres, weird creatures, surreal environments and music.

[@M4r.17]

The references that I have is ofc LSD, this, and Fatum Betula

[@sastiago11]

in Leisure the Sonorous Dream

[@a-sheepof-christ9027]

35:39 sleep paralysis. One of the bigger medical lies and meant to frame similar witness accounts as a simple medical conditions. Whenever people encounter the same thing over and over and there is no way to say that the eye-witness accounts are simply anecdotal you have to use one of 3 major tactics: 1) ridicule: personal, direct attacks or indirectly through subversive schemes 2) give "natural" explanation for the phenomena that occured 3) give "medical" explanation for why the eye-witnesses claims are false eventhough they describe the same or similar phenomena. Its also odd that Author of this game and Joel G - who both deploy similar "aesthetic" designs claim to be inspired by "dreams". But the theme is always antichristian: it always draws on "ancient greek Gods" or somehing similar. the time is nigh

[@JetpackSniper085]

Ah to be bathed in the cool waters of the 4:3 aspect ratio

[@Chris-jl6vp]

I think this is a great game with some solid atmosphere and a fair bit of travelling, but I don't like how much the npcs tell you what to do. Dream worlds feel better when you have a bit more freedom, maybe even a moral decision to make.

[@aprilfools7771]

Look great but lsd dream emulator have something special the weirdness is just perfect

[@mahaphoublue7644]

Did he add that floating staircase like in roblox obby too.

[@kronosking0155]
