Humanoid Abomination: Possibly, the Grey Man.

Hellhound: A wolf-like creature that chases you and lunges at your throat, causing the stage to end.

Hatsuyume: The 365th dream in the game ends with a cutscene featuring Mt Fuji, a hawk, and an eggplant.

Since Logic is usually known as 'Kanji', it probably is an accident.

Possibly unintentional, but the textures (aside from Normal), are Logic, Sexual, and Downer.

Fun with Acronyms: The opening sequence includes text like 'In Leisure, the Sonorous Dream' and 'In Logic, the Symbolic Dream'.

Featureless Protagonist: Possibly, although the dream journal the game is based on is from a woman, and a skeleton found in a room of the hotel suggests your character is female.

The Faceless: The face of the soldier in the Violence District is completely obscured by his helmet.

Everything's Better with Penguins: Giant, tie-dye penguins.

Although there isn't a concrete narrative, it features many of the traits commonly associated with the genre: minimalist game mechanics, a first-person perspective and an emphasis on exploration.

Environmental Narrative Game: Perhaps a prototypical example of the genre.

You can also jump off the many cliffs you may find, ending the dream, but you won't die.

Driven to Suicide: Literally, in three different ways, all of which can be found in the Violence District В— the car driving into the sea, the hanging women (it's quite possible, though, that they were lynched), and even putting you on top of a building and making you jump off.

Touching anything but the ground will transport you out of that area of the dream world.

Creepy Doll: The teddy bear that stalks you.Counting Sheep: A non-interactive animation which may show up instead of a dream.White and blue indicates that next place will be rather serene and untroubled, while red foreshadows a darker turn. Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Linking from one place to another is accompanied by a flash of certain colour.It moves whenever you move, so it is impossible to get close enough to it to touch it. Cephalothorax: There is an NPC that is one of these in the courtyard of the apartment building/hotel.The Blank: Most of the human or human-like characters have blank, featureless faces, probably due to the graphical limitations of the game's engine.The manual's also available online, but it's in Japanese. Scans of the Dream Journal the game's based on are available online, and most dreams are in English. All There in the Manual: There's a book apparently explaining everything in the game, although it's hellishly difficult to find since only 50 were ever made.

One person played the game so long that the system it uses to scarify things broke, and every texture was replaced with glitchy black. note There's four 'main' sets of textures counting the normal one, and based on some algorithm the more unsettling textures become more common the more days have been played. The more you dream, the more bizarre and messed-up textures and events you will encounter. The game also does one particular thing that's completely horrible В— it gets scarier as it goes on. The main appeal for players is its insanity В— one day, you might see a line of elephants walking into a pit, while other times you might encounter the Grey Man, the closest thing to a recurring villain. There is no goal, no combat, nothing but walking around the completely random environments. It's a Cult Classic, especially among Let's Play groups. LSD: Dream Emulator is a PS1-era game created by Osamu Sato (who also made Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou), and only released in Japan.
