I love the aesthetic that these kind of game give me
Is so comfortable, but so strange...
I wish that was not so short

Very short artistic exploration game heavily inspired from LSD: Dream Emulator which features 5 recreations of Adam Pype (game's developer)'s dreams told by polygonal graphics and an original soundtrack.
I haven't found anything significant in this pill-sized game, but from who hasn't played LSD yet i still find this a bit of a tribute that pays off quite a bit and the dream sequences are probably meant to give a sense of ambiguosity going on. After the 5 dreams, you loop back to the beginning of the game. Unfortunately, it could've spiced up a bit if it had choices you could make in order to access different dreams or perhaps different endings based on how you interact in each dream.

Afterwards, the Playstation aesthetics borrowed from LSD doesn't seem really bad. The soundtrack manages to fit in the mood for some, but eh, this is just a bit fair to me, but its extreme short length didn't amuse me as much how i wanted.

If you're a huge PSX experimental game fanatic, i'd say check it out, but you won't be seeing so much.

These kinds of lil art games are excellent experiences. Small dreamlike dioramas with excellent music and aesthetics working toward cultivating a perfect atmosphere. So much so, it’s immersive to an impressive degree for what few elements go in to some scenes. It’s a masterful use of the medium
