[OLD] LSD Dream Emulator - Caddicarus

Fun fact, the water only flashes on emulated versions of the game. If you play a real copy it loads properly.

[@W3Rn1ckz]

Oh hello. I think the emulator water fits the game a bit more.

[@thecatherd]

Believe it or not, there IS some method to the madness. To an extent, you can control what sort of dreams you have by running in to either static or moving objects and by avoiding the grey man (who resets your progress). It's one hell of a slow ride though.

[@xMogek]

Can you actually complete it by going through all 5 In game years?

[@thecatherd]

The game is considered complete when you've gone through 365 days, so you only need to go through one in game year. Pretty sure all you get for "winning" is a bunch of kanji though.

[@garretlariviere5599]

I know you wrote this comment 3 years ago, but can you reference where you found this information? I hold the speedrunning world record in this game, & I haven't found any evidence that the grey man "resets" your progress, that is the only reason I ask.

It seems of what Caddy did hear, he didn't hear about the main draw of this game: As the days progress, the game's textures/audio/etc. become more and more corrupted (on purpose). For instance, the soundtrack is actually only several audio loops. However, they are morphed relative to area and day progress. Textures just go insane. Just as well, the game throws more random events at you, which can come out of nowhere and leave the player uncertain of just what this game CAN do. The city has some pretty disturbing stuff later on. It's actually really interesting. Another important point which of course he wouldn't know just diving into it: That gray man he saw is The Gray Man, as coined by players. He's actually one of the few anchor points of this game, having an actual effect on your game and presenting a hindrance to "progress." If he touches you, he will clear your Dream Journal, which among other things resets your progress on achieving the above random events and interesting self-corruption. He should be avoided at all costs, preferably by backing away. While more common in later days, he will sometimes respawn directly in front of the player if already existing in the map, so backing away keeps him from surprising the player. The color of the transitions between each map also hold significance. Three primary transitions are white is average, blue is good, and red is bad. (There are other colors documented, but these seem most common and definite in effect) While the exact meanings are only speculation, the dot on your Dream Journal will be placed relative to these. The words Upper/Downer/Static/Dynamic across the lengths of the journal actually work as a graph of this information. Also, days range from wandering the environments, to Japanese text, to trippy videos. Most of the time, you wander environments. I'd say the text and videos are a free pass to skip a day, although it might be more like Pokemon whereas you could use a rare candy to skip a level, but you don't get as good stats for it... In the end, while he did present screenshots of the game at extreme day counts, whereas the corruption had become immense, I can't say the final judgement was exactly fair. Putting aside that it was the early days, since as he stated the pacing was slow to get into, the major issue was The Gray Man touching him - twice. This reset the game's random events, thus leaving him with a less eventful experience. The main draw is to reach amplifications of corruption and events, avoiding The Gray Man's (honestly) bullshit resetting ability. I wouldn't expect him to push hundreds of days in this for a single video, but I feel he judged it a bit too quickly considering the circumstances, and moreover premise of the game. Love ya, Caddy - just wish we got a bit more information to you before getting into this.

I don't think you edited the comment

[@liateRdnalkcoB]

Nate Tanguay Just did... And I have 15 likes? TO SUMMARIZE MY EDIT: The Gray Man screwed Caddy out of the full experience, since he resets your dream journal and therefore the random event and corruption parts of the game which make it shine. For that, I'm not say his final judgement was exactly fair, but then again neither was The Gray Man, so... I don't want to say "nerf The Gray Man" because (besides this being a 1998 game), his precise is its own spice, but for the purposes of this video he was VERY rude. Bad Gray Man. BAD.

[@liateRdnalkcoB]

***** Most likely the "You spoil the experience if you research" frame of mind going around lately, despite the fact this is a 1998 game. It's hard to shake, because how are you supposed to know when it applies? Maybe it does apply to a 1998 game. What I'm commenting on is that he showed comments of people requesting the game, and in that I am sad he wasn't given a proper amount of foreknowledge to combat the possibility of a no-spoiler scenario.

the reason why he hated lsd so much is because he was looking at it as a game rather than an experience. lsd is an experience. you wander around and see where it takes you. if you look at it as a game, it becomes kinda shitty and pointless. games have goals and context and things to do. in lsd, it's just wander with an open mind and try not to go insane. gameplay wise, it's supposed to be terrible. if you run into a wall and link somewhere, just go with it. you can't get angry at a game with no rules.

I thought the revamp should use seeds for generating maps, with larger numbers resulting in the higher corruption rate. However, he wasn't enthusiastic about the idea, in relation to custom content specifically. To me personally, I think user content would greatly retract from the feeling of the game. How can you feel surprise/wonder when you've gone and installed the content, yourself? Just my opinion...

I can't really say that Cadi "missed the point of the game", but I will say he was incredibly closed minded towards it's premise. Anyone can see that it's an artsy-fartsy game, but it does have things that one should pick up on. The types of things you touch directly correlate to what you see, which is literally the entire game. Psychic Detective worked in much a similar fashion, having to go through different POV's to receive different endings, and he was much more lenient when reviewing that game. LSD is by far not a great game, but it definitely is an innovative and interesting one.

If you read something like that, then that should be credence to look up on how the game works mechanic-wise instead of jumping into it and complaining about every minute thing. Here's the thing about LSD, it's technically not a game. As the late great JewWario said in his review, "It's more of an experience". And that's true, this isn't a game at all. It's an experience, you go from area to area viewing things happening. Sometimes its crazy things, sometimes its not. It's like an actual dream, you never know what you're going to get when you go to sleep. It's the same with the game, it's a different experience each time you play. And the longer you go with out running into the Grey Man (Who can be avoided by backing up) the more your dreams will build up and the crazier they will get. Caddy should have did what he did with Mr. Domino and looked up how the game worked. That was a good review because Caddy was well-educated on how to play and properly use the mechanics of the game. Here he was not. He jumped into a game despite being given clear warning that it was disorienting and confusing, complained about it despite the fact that he barely played the game for what must have been no more then a few hours (Ten days pass fast in the game) and posted a video review online despite the fact that he never really gave the game a chance. I'm all for differing opinions, but I always dislike when an opinion misses the point of the whole thing. Caddy went into this expecting a game and instead got an experience. I'm not an LSD: Dream Emulator fanboy, but I do have to admit that this game is a lot more unique then Caddy gives it credit for.

[@totalblue5156]

Oh hush, the review was fine. He already said it doesn't matter if he "knows" what the game is about, he and pretty much everyone else watching this dont' care about that, we want a game. This is a walking simulator with goofy pictures thrown at you and he reviewed it accurately, a boring walking simulator with stupid visuals, 6.5 out of 10. And going off that, an "experience" isn't any kind of excuse for being bad, plenty of games are great at providing unique interesting experiences while still delivering on competent game design and being in general enjoyable. This game is lacking in both areas and he judged it accordingly.

[@monkeyscientist9913]

***** Did I say that I didn't think it should be criticized? Everything can be criticized, that's the point. I'm okay with criticism, but I think criticism should be pointed at something when the reviewer understands what it is and how to play it. It's like when that IGN guy reviewed Alien Isolation. And how would Caddy know how much content is in the game when he barely played it? He gave up on the game after a couple of hours, he barely gave this game a thorough shot.

[@AngelTerri]

[@Painocus]

Totalblue *****: Judging something as something it is not is the same as calling a painting bad because it is not a novel. What you are doing is essentially saying "a bad novel is still a bad novel even if it is a painting."

[@monkeyscientist9913]

Painocus Damn straight. It's like treating a flight simulator as an RPG. This game is an experience, and should be treated as such. It's basically a simulator designed around dreams. Caddy expected too much from this game because of what he heard and based all of his frustrations upon that fact.

I'm sorry Caddy but I didn't like this video I did like your humor like usual but I think most of your complaints could have been avoided by doing some research on the gameplay (for ex how if you touch the Gray Man all of your dream progress are erased and that's why you kept ending up in the same places; and how it's not really hard to get the really weird and trippy dreams, the more days you go on dreaming without touching the Gray Man the freakier and weirder they get) You're still one of my favourite youtubers though and I love your videos, so keep up the good work! ^^

Caddi, your kind of missing a lot. You touch certain objects to go across the map, from what I can remember it's: Moving objects take you more to dynamic areas, Stuff that doesn't move take you more to static areas. And touching certain colored things take you to darker/downer dreams while brighter stuff takes you to more upper areas. Also the fact that the Shadow Man erases your progress, and resets how trippy the game can get. He's probably the reason (besides touching just random everything) you got to the same areas.

[@tsukiahtamru1714]

***** Admitably, I wouldn't be surprized if they didn't tell you that in game. But I'm just saying, if your this confused, look something up!

***** It's a lot like old SNES and NES (but more NES) games that don't tell you crap in game, and expet you to figure it out yourself. Though I wouldn't be surprized if burried in the LSD Dream Emulator manuel's Japanese text there is instructions.

This game is so fucking weird with visuals, music, everything.

And want my brain to be minced into a nice Big Mac. Which I can then eat. With my mouth.

[@isaacargesmith8217]

Actually there are some rules to the dreams you experience. It depends on what you touch. It will determine the kind of dream that you have.

[@Konradix05]

I mean, I imagine it's kinda like "touching one thing will transport you to the same co-ordinate in another world". That would be my explanaion why Caddi was stuck in a wall that one time.

[@liateRdnalkcoB]

Whatever you do, avoid The Gray Man. Caddy saw him twice in this video. He resets your Dream Journal, which resets the systems that basically progress you through the game. That is, the game progressively corrupts itself, as well as introducing new events, as the days go on. The Gray Man resets this, which means starting over. Basically, you won't see how deep the rapid hole goes since The Gray Man pulls you back to the top. When running from him, it's best to do it via backing away. While this happens more often in higher day counts, the game likes to respawn him immediately in front of you if you run away with him out of sight, so keeping a line of sight on him keeps him walking at the slow pace.

[@dannystuivenberg292]

....you can eat a Big Mac? Hory shet.

[@neuerehrgeiz7816]

For me, the draw to this game is discovering what meanings might exist within said dreams. It is a flawed game, certainly, but I found it fun nonetheless. I feel I need to explain a couple things, though. The man in the coat and hat that slides towards Caddy is called "The Gray Man," who acts as the main antagonist of the game. If he touches you, he denies your flashback, or in other words, you won't be able to recall certain dreams the same way; everything becomes a bit distorted, as it came to be for Caddy. What was the same dream over and over again before is now changed, and can't be revisited. Also, you may have noticed the grid after each day. Not much is actually known about it, but this is essentially a dream chart. Upper refers to the conscious while Lower is more subconscious. Likewise, Static is more logical/realistic, while Dynamic is more abstract/artistic.

[@kirkbupkis]

Yeah, I own this game and kow every little detail about it. If you are weird like me you can really get into it. I won't go into a detailed analysis but there is a few things you got to know about this. The game is slow and it has to be. Not every dream should contain new things, hell most of them should repeat so that every new thing you find feels even more disturbing. And finding all the little patterns and secrets, seeing all thestuff you can see and so on feels really rewarding to me. I guess most people won#t like this game, but for some it is a really great experience (especially with your weird ass freind).
