pro-no replied to your post: I finally installed a decent PS1 emulator and got LSD: Dream Emulator working.
WHAT IS THIS THING YOU SPEAK OF?
I’ll let TV Tropes explain it.
The
LSD Dream Emulator is a
PS 1-era game, only released in Japan. It’s a
Cult Classic, especially among
Lets Play groups. There is no goal, no combat, nothing but walking around the completely random environments. The main appeal for players is its insanity; 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. Imagine a randomized
Yume Nikki.
The game also does one particular something completely horrible - it gets scarier as it goes on. The more you dream, the more bizarre and messed-up textures and events you will encounter. The Grey Man will appear more often. One person played the game so long that the system it uses to scarify things broke, and every texture was replaced with glitchy black.
The game has a reputation for making you think you’ve figured everything there is to figure out, and then doing something
very bad to you.
I haven’t gotten very far, so I haven’t run across anything really creepy yet. I downloaded the game from here and I downloaded pSX to run it.
