The weird thing is due to its unique and abstract art style its graphical style and atmosphere has aged really well.
It's both of its time and far beyond it simultaneously. The closest thing to this game I can think of is Yume Nikki.
I agree on the aging well. Especially when we're getting excellent looking games in the 2020s. Games that are directly inspired by such as this
funny what happens when you remain true to an actual vision instead of catering to fashion
@@tothejazz4828 yes
@@tothejazz4828 Exactly. This was clearly a project with a lot of heart put into it. It's honestly inspiring.

"There is a skeleton, I forgot what else"
As someone who keeps a dream journal too, this one is just so real lmfao. Especially when it's been so long since a previous entry, you just wanna record *something*, to keep log of it if anything
Realll 😭😭 I've been keeping mine since 2020, and for the past year I've barely had any timeto write anything down. Probably doesn't help that I can usually never remember dreams if I'm woken up, only if I wake up at my own pace
Really relatable how her dreams seem to alternate between the macabre and being erotic. Sometimes they are one and the same
In my dreams, eating cheetah steak gives you brain cancer.
Fr, I feel like I’ve never had just a pure “sexy” dream before. It’s always mixed around with the dark and upsetting.
@@lilyomp4598 I've had only one that I can remember and was one of the most 'realistic' feeling ones I've ever had. I won't go into detail just to keep it pg but that was the only time. The other dreams I've had are just scary or really bizarre to the point they area also scary
I used to be afraid of clowns now I'm "into" them.
@@turtleofpride4572 down with the clown!!!
i played this in highschool forever ago back during like the ps3 era. my friend had a modded wii with a bunch of emulators and he'd make me play all sorts of weird shit all the time. i can't even tell if it's actually obscure or not at this point lol so many people seem to have a similar story
Everybody has a friend who likes weird stuff, i'm probably that friend hahaha
Same. With the Wii too
I remember Dolphin emulation
i love how each entry of mrs Nishikawa's diary could warrant a game on it's own. In the "indie game" fashion, in a style that would dig into nostalgia and have bizarre mechanics. Though, LSD being an exploration of a compilation of these dreams was probably the best choice to make, as the amount of bizarre ultimately brought logic to the whole interactive artwork ^_^)
You’ve got some twisted ideas…. Did you miss “the bus stop” story?
I wish more games came with extra stuff like this still
me too, im tired of buying a games and having an empty case with no cool stuff or extras
One of the unfortunate side effects from the death of physical media.
Games do still come with extra stuff like this! All you have to do is pre-order the "Super-Duper Gold Extra Deluxe Special Collector's Edition" and pay $200+ for a single $60 game, some usually poor quality merch, and an exclusive skin or weapon! Now that's what I call a deal! /s 🙄😒
Neko Yume is a... "parody, reference, tribute?" for LSD Dream Emulator.
this game always walked in my head rent free
I absolutely love this video. I have adored this game for quite some time and indeed never heard much about this art book, but it's so insightful in a mysterious way. Thank you for making it the focus, this made my day.
Glad you liked it! I wasn’t sure what people were going to think of me just reading for most of the video, but I wanted to do it anyway!
Glad to hear someone talking about the book!! It really is a neat read. I've also been using the lion on the far right at 18:21 as a reaction image for around a year now lol
It'd be awesome to get an LSD remake either officially (in some capacity) or community-made with more details and locations based on the dream diary. The giant crab attacking the restaurant inside an elevator for example.
So chill listening about these dreams. Wish I had kept a dream journal because I know I had some wild things happen I can’t really remember anymore.
You should be able to play this game in art museums. I think it would contextualize it so well, and also way more people should get a chance to experience it. Even people who don't play games.
The fact that it takes place in a bizarre dream landscape is intriguing. I too have weird dreams where I'm compelled to explore and see one crazy thing after the next. It even inspires some of my writing.
Yet another game I would've enjoyed if not because I either never heard of it or it never came out stateside. But thankfully, there's you bringing it to my attention.
I was very very afraid of this game when I stumbled upon it as a chronically online kid. I still can’t get myself to play it, but I sure have watched countless play-throughs.
So glad and surprised that someone made a vid on this dream journal. I think even now one of the only places you can find it (if not the only) is the scan of it on the dream emulator wiki
I’m stoned and I’m so grateful for this video. As soon as you mentioned the art book I thought “ohh I want to read that” but you solved this for me!!!!
As someone who stoned its really cringe to go around the internet telling people
@@MECHA-TEDNah homie I get it though lol
I loved hearing this journal, it's surreal and almost entrancing to hear about somebody else's dreams especially written sort of poetically like this, and dreams just feel like something really relatable while also being bizarre
Well done! You did a good job reading these stories in a relaxing fashion, and thanks to you this work is preserved.
I heard about the game but I didn't know there was a book. Really enjoyed your audiobook style of reading paired with the obscure yet beautiful artworks and narrative. Keep making videos, man! Loving your channel! ❤
I played LSD, god knows how many years ago. Never heard about the artbook. You covering Lovely Sweet Dream is so cool. Thank you for putting in the research and effort!
It's good to see how your subscribers have rocketed up in amount as of late. Absolutely one of the most chill channels to listen to. That translates to narrating a dream-diary as well it turns out.
loved this game since the day that we met all those years ago... great video that introduces the game really well while also giving a lot of wonderful and detailed research. great vid! Thank you for reading the actual diary!!
Sato-san was way ahead of his time. His music in the game sounds like Aphex Twin, the art direction is absurd like post-meta-ironic vaporwave memes of 2019, and the design philosophy is like the sandbox boom of the 2010s. Making this game in '98 is like making a 2020 F150 in 1973.
Can you review the game called Garage:Bad Dream?
Please check it out, it's so weird, i'm sure that is right up your alley.
I have it on Steam. It’s on my list of games to cover!
yooo big childhood game let's goooooo; inspired my drive for art & art appreciation in various forms !
/edit : you're the first we've seen to cover the book & it really does bring a genuine smile that anybody remembers about it-
I've discover your channel two days ago, I loved all your videos
OOOHHH YEAAAA , gotta love it when dungeon chill posts a video, especially a longer video !
Just recently discovered your channel and just finished watching all your posted videos finishing with this one, the icing on the cake. Superb presentation and content. I am glad I found you sir. Keep up the superb work!
I bet Freud would have a field day with that artbook
“You want to have sex with your mother, I’m totally not projecting my own absolute depravity onto you. Anyway, would you like to do a cocaine about that?”
thanks so much for this, i had never known about this art book
Man, this is dope. You have an incredible channel. Thanks for putting us on this dream/artbook
Thank you so much for reading this! I always wondered what kind of dreams inspired LSD, this is fascinating
I come to this dungeon with a little torch, pls guide me.
I'm your friend
@@ThommyofThenn if there are treasures deep in this dungeon we will share them even if it is in the afterlife.
Interesting vid! Lucid dreams can be wild man. Glad this showed up on my feed
Here before this channel hits 100k
Just wanna say, I just discovered your channel andhave been binging all your videos. Niche weird games and the like have always fascinated me and your content is perfect. You are awesome! Keep it up please!a
おおぉ classic ^_^ great video.
you need more subs man, i love the effort that you put in the video
I appreciate that! But honestly, this channel only had about 1500 subs a month ago. So things are looking up!
as a major fan of LSD, Osamu Sato’s other projects, and overall the early cgi era style, hearing about LSD’s origins is really interesting. Even just the beta movie for LSD had always caught my attention. Learning about the origins of LSD and its content was really interesting. Thank you so much for putting this together. ❤
i can't believe i didn't know there was an art book to go along with this game!!!! i'm obsessed!!!! thanks so much for this omg christmas has come early
Completely unrelated but your art is so cool! Love your style!
Perfect, thanks for the full reading. New subscriber for sure
Chill time in the dungeon with dungeon chill
just recently discovered you, i love love love your content. thanks for making my nights
@BrianRoerig-mu5vt BEGONE, BOT!
man your works are trully lovely and endlessly captivating to perceive
cheers up, wish you fast grow and all the new subscribers! :)
Cant believe your one video hit almost 250k! Congrats man its happening like I knew it would!
Kinda nuts! But yeah, things picked up a lot. You were a believer from the start!
Chill be like "Time for another LSD video"
When you said “wherever..or whenever you’re watching this”, idk why but it touched my soul since it’s 10 months after its upload lol.
Hello new to the channel you popped up as a recommended. With the video plague of the moon. Keep up the awesome content happy to be a new sub 😊
thanks for sharing this, I had no iodea that a Takato Yamamoto piece was related to this game!
i hardly ever leave comments on youtube videos but i feel like i need to share something. her dream about the alarm clock continuously ringing no matter what she does... i always have the exact same dream. it happens like this: the alarm on my phone goes off in real life, and i hear it my dream. it doesn't wake me up. in the dream, i turn it off. it keeps going. so i move it around. i put it in drawers, under blankets, in another room, etc, just like she did in her dream, but it never stops ringing. then i destroy it - i smash my phone, hit it with a hammer, throw it far away, or down a flight of stairs, or something like that. it keeps ringing, it doesn't stop. then, just like in her dream, a familiar face appears - for her, she says it was her mother. for me, it's a loved one - a friend or relative. the alarm never stops. but at this point, after destroying my phone, throwing it away, running away from it... usually i wake up. and usually, the alarm is still going off, so i shut it off, in real life, for real this time. i always tell people about this reoccurring dream i have about my alarm, and they never understand. nobody ever relates to it. so imagine my surprise when i hear you read her dream out loud to me - my exact dream, that i've had over and over, many times before. i'm leaving this comment because i wish i could tell Mrs. Nishikawa that i have shared her dreams. but i don't know her. i never will. and since i'll never have the chance to tell her, i want somebody out there to know. thank you for this video. it is such a wonderfully entertaining watch. i wish i could thank Mrs. Nishikawa too. dreams can be so personal. i wish i could thank her for choosing to share hers with the world.
This is a really sweet comment, but, in an odd sort of way, I have the opposite problem.
Somehow, even when I place my alarm at arm's length so I have to physically lurch forward to get it, or when I set my phone alarm so I have to be aware enough to use it, I seem to always be able to turn it off without much fuss.
I will wake up and be totally frustrated because I managed to avoid hearing multiple alarms just because I deactivate it in my sleep. I have taken to having to move it across the room, close and loud enough to be heard, but far enough away that I cannot get to it without waking up 😂
But, I have often had similar dreams, in which I can hear it and cannot figure out why it won't stop even when I think the problem has been solved.
best vid on LSD i have seen good job
i enjoyed the reading the most. thankyou.
49:12 I think this is the one that made me say "Damn, cool to hear something like this from a total stranger. I'm not alone"
I would die for Water Cat.
AAAWESOME VIDEOOO!
I’ve kept a dream diary for a couple years myself so that I can hopefully accumulate enough good ones to make into something, though unfortunately a lot of the time I either have a cool dream that I can’t remember anything of when I wake up or I do remember but it’s mediocre. It’s definitely a long-term thing, I’ve managed to record some pretty good ones and I’ve gotta keep at it.
Had to stop cuz I almost fell asleep during story time. Not cuz that's bad but I needed to sub and check out your other vids. I'll be back to this for nappy time ^_^
I never knew Ryuichi Sakamoto contributed photography to this project
Somehow I never played this one! Great look at the book, it has me wanting to crack into the game!
Still remember watching SOG play this as a kid... Should go back and rewatch that tbh
Its so obvious Joel G's ENA took inspiration from this game and i LIVE for it
This game is indeed an experience
Love how they named the soundtrack, Lucy in the Sky with Dynamites (LSD)
Did someone stream one of your videos? You 10xed your subs in two weeks, lol. Amazin.
Also glad to see you got to LSD after the last vid.
I have no idea what happened. It was a crazy couple of weeks.
@@dungeonchill For me I found the channel recently, got a recommendation to Cosmology of Kyoto when I was watching a true crime video, that's CZcams algorythm for you
I love the channel, it has great content and watched most of the videos already lol
I liked that space ship dream entry, its short but reminds me of a dream I had so its easy to imagine it
Osamu Sato is also behind, Eastern mind:The Lost Souls of Tong Nou and plays some of the roles in the game (such as the green head)
Love this book. Weird that this video did not show up for me when it came out.
nice one fella
this makes me miss my dreams. i wish i could write down my dreams again. its hard when you can't anymore.
I absolutely adore water cat
The ending songs line "Through the day, as if from an ocean" is taken from the song "by this river" by "Brian Eno" (start of the second verse). Just something i noticed. Not sure why but it's interesting.
so you just popped off with a double length documentary Okayy
12:50
"Or fall asleep to it"
Oh, he just like me
Great video. Have been wanting to own this book for a while but it is expensive and hard to find. I do own Osamu Sato's Alphabetical Orgasm which is a collection of prints based on the English alphabet. You can see an image from this at......4:20.
As a similar sort of artistic project, I recommend the book 'Mind Fields', the art of Jacek Yerka and the prose of Harlan Ellison.
Wow my dream last night would totally fit in with that diary.
Very nice
I imagine taht static and dynamic isn't so much of the way you explore, but how the world explores for you.
Like if you turn a corner, and go down a hall, then turn around and something else is down that hall you were just at.
hello Grimbeard's long lost sibling, this style of video suits you very well!!
Considering "walking sims" this game is such a pioneer
Joke's on you! My PJs are already off for the night~
I subscribed off the git gUd scrub meme, excellent work
this is the greatest thing ever
this makes me want to keep a dream journal
8:15
"Corner" says about the location of the entrance on which it is pointing
It's only possible in Hawaii because the air is so dry
youtube algorithm, you did it again!
i genuinely wonder what the watch time on this video is like, i left the video on until the end and it was so captivating for me to imagine what was depicted in the journal
If you want a real dream-like game with wonderful art direction, haunting atmosphere, amazing music and a heart-wrenching story, play The Norwood Suite.
That was wild
I want to animate and write almost every single other dream because I think it would be neat, except for the ones I find to be too disturbing for me to work on.
"You know that dream where you wake up as a girl. I wonder what causes it"
"Dude, I've literally never experienced that dream"
I would not mind that if someone were to create another LSD: Dream Emulator they could create ones for every single culture on the planet, not just the ones exclusive to the journal and to this specific select team. There are so many dreams that could be given their own Dream Emulator type of game.
Somewhere in the Japanese parts of the diary you can read "Twin Peaks". Very appropriate.
LSD Dream Emulator is peak 90s post modern art.
I just realized the "linking" feature is like the backrooms lore
one of my fave game
Is this the game soundtrack in the video? I need it for my spotify downloads. 😬
I’m a little jealous
I get intense horror-thrillers 90% of the time
Like a serial killer couple who ask if you want to die, and if you say “no” they bury you alive
Or an experimental facility on an island where the walls are covered with living, conscious, human skins. Also there are monster scaly horses with mouths going down their stomachs.
Or a guy who kidnaps and kills people so he can put their tracheas and voice boxes into a horrible pipe-organ thing to make it “sing”
Or after the end of the world, it’s just tons and tons of rotting corpses everywhere and wind
Or an island in the middle of a lake where a cult tortured girl for her whole life before finally killing her after she tried to escape and making her body into “art pieces” and selling them.
you should keep a dream journal for sure. i guess it would be more like a nightmare journal......... but i bet your dreams could one day inspire some fantastic horror games. thank you for sharing these.
Aye kinda funny how when talking about the bonus materials you critiqued people for shrugging the art book as a footnote, while doing the very same for the soundtrack.. 😅
Holy shit alt j used that as their album cover...... 😳
Epic
