Lcd Dem (Lucid Dream with every other letter removed) is a Yume Nikki fangame made by the Japanese composer known as Koronba.
The game is currently at v0.030 but, in 2013, Koronba erased all traces (including whole websites) of the game and asked others to do the same and never speak of the game again. It's not really known why.[1]
Tropes used in Lcd Dem include:
- Acid Trip Dimension
- All Just a Dream: Par for the course!
- An Axe to Grind: Chie's weapon.
- Clock Tower: One of the more memorable areas.
- Dead All Along: Whoever was in that other room at the end of the game.
- Downer Ending
- Dream People
- Dream Within a Dream: Sometimes, if you use the bed while in the dream world. This can show you how many orbs you've collected.
- Dream World
- Eyes Always Shut: Chie.
- Girl with Psycho Weapon: Chie with the axe.
- Gotta Catch Em All: In this case, the objective is to collect glowing orbs. Although effects are still present, finding them does not progress the game.
- Hair Decorations: Chie wears a flower in her hair.
- Killed Off for Real: In one area, if you kill the person in the room, then return, there is nothing left but a pool of blood and bones.
- Lighter and Softer: Compared to its precedent, the horror elements have been toned down quite a bit.
- Mood Whiplash: Go ahead, Chie. Kill that creature on the park swing. It's not like the whole place will go dark because of it.
- Spooky Silent Library: One of the areas is this. Although a certain event needs to be triggered for it to become spooky...
- Surreal Horror: While the game is far less frightening than Yume Nikki, there are still many scenes with surreal horror that may be unsettling.
- Video Game Cruelty Punishment: If you kill the sleeping child in the weedy building, you will become trapped there. Killing the eyeball creature in the park is also not very pleasant.
