Overview

Lcd Dem (Typeset "Lucid Dream" with every other letter removed) is a fangame by Koronba (myspace twitter bandcamp ). It stars Chie (ちえ), 'a young girl in a small room.'. The final version was v.0.030. It has been confirmed that there will be no more updates, version 0.030 is the final version.

Strange End

The game's creator posted a bizarre message on the official site asking fans to forget about LcdDem and to remove any content that is related to it. They asked not to share it or even speak of it. It is not known why they chose to do this. It has been speculated that the game reminds them of something they would like to forget.

Gameplay

You play as Chie who explores her dreams to collect effects and orbs, the latter of which are required to end the game. You save via a blue notebook and enter the dream world through Chie's bed, much like in Yume Nikki.

The game receives praise for its musical score.

Plot

Chie seems to have locked herself in her room to forget a dramatic event and uses lucid dreaming as a way of escape from this event. Her dreams are rather calm and soothing compared to most other dreamers, and she has no chasers in her dreams at all, and the weapon effect is not required to finish the game either. Chie herself can be depicted as an innocent young girl, along with how her effects become craft materials in the real world.

Effects

Lcd Dem is one of the few games where it is not required to collect all the effects to unlock the ending.

Something unique to Lcd Dem is that in the real world, all effect names are actually craft materials, for example the Sneakers effect is actually a light-blue colored pencil.

Use SHIFT to use effects.
