'''●▲■''', also known as '''マルサンカクシカク''' (Maru Sankaku Shikaku, lit. "Circle Triangle Square") is an app developed by [[Outside Directors Company]], published by P.R.O. Corp and Creators Guild Company for iOS. It allows users to create their own artwork using Sato's signature design method by arranging circles, triangles, and squares, a process from which the app gets its name. It was first released on 23 April 2010, with an initial price tag of ¥230.

On April 13, 2012, a new version with updated UI was released as a free download under the name '''カンタンデザイン''' (Kantan Design, lit. "Easy Design"). Both it and its predecessor have since been delisted.

Upon opening, the app features four buttons: Draw, Gallery, Sample, and Setting.
* ''Draw'' is the main mode of the app, where users can create and save art.
* ''Gallery'' displays an image gallery of creations saved in Draw mode.
* ''Sample'' is an additional gallery of creations made by OSD themselves. Clicking on a Sample image shows a replay of how it was made within the app, this was also possibly a feature in gallery mode.
* ''Setting'' contains standard configuration settings for the app.

==Draw Mode==
Draw mode presents the user with a blank 16x19 grid, on which a design can be created. Directly below it is an assortment of color palettes that can be cycled through by swiping left or right. Tapping a color applies it to the currently selected shape. At the bottom of the screen are six buttons: "TOP," which returns to the main menu, "●," "▲," and "■," which are used to select the respective shapes, a copy button which duplicates the active shape, and "DONE," which allows the user to save their creation.

'''Bana Bana Ichi-gō: Rolypolys no Sekai Daibōken''' (バナバナ1号ローリーポーリーズの世界大冒険, sometimes listed online as ローリーポーリーズの世界旅行, lit. Rolypolys' World Tour) is a 1997 point-and-click adventure game developed by [[OutSide Directors Company]] and published by Shinko Music Entertainment. It is the sequel to [[Rolypolys no Nanakorobi Yaoki]], which released eight months prior.

==Plot==
Unlike its predecessor, the game has an overarching plotline involving [[Otane-chan]], a music idol, being kidnapped by an evil [[Tengu]]; she can only be freed by the Roly Polys gathering 7 keys scattered around the world. The gameplay centers around the Roly Polys flying to every continent of Earth in [[Banaten]]'s spaceship, the [[Banabana Mk. 1]], while learning about the geography and culture of various countries.

==Former Lost Media Status==
Prior to its discovery, several archived listings existed on Japanese auction sites as well as one recent one in July 2020, and one image of the game in-box had surfaced. Aside from several small screenshots on the game's official webpage, no gameplay footage existed online until Rolypolys no Nanakorobi Yaoki was found, which contained a [https://youtu.be/Sw2EP5A0Rbw video trailer]. This trailer was rendered in-engine, meaning its assets could be ripped.

A playable demo appears on the coverdisc for the January 15, 1998 issue of MacPeople magazine. This demo only contains a portion of the North American area. An ISO file of this disc was shared on October 27, 2021.

Unknown to the community until the full game was found, BakuDD acquired a sealed copy back in 2022. In January of 2023, he told another collector, beanstalk, that he owned it but was hesitant to open it. The two reached a deal where, in exchange for BakuDD opening and dumping the game, beanstalk would buy a limited edition Japanese 3DO game and ship it to BakuDD.

The game was ultimately made available to the wider internet on May 31st, 2023. The checksum data was confirmed on [http://redump.org/disc/104875/ Redump] before it was dropped onto the Internet Archive the same day. BakuDD didn't post the link directly, instead teasing its existence in [https://www.reddit.com/r/OsamuSato/comments/13wvocp/httpredumporgdisc104875/ this post to r/osamusato]; within minutes, it was found almost simultaneously by several members of the community, with the link initially posted by Camwoodstock & Tori. It was streamed by users adam and Super on the Osamu Sato Discord the same day, and for the next few days, Super would continue to stream the game on the Discord until successfully completing the game.

===Known copies===
As of May 31st, 2023, there are currently 8 known copies of "Rolypolys no Sekai Daibōken". While it's possible that some of the unaccounted-for copies are the same as others, it is generally accepted that each of these copies are unique, as there is zero evidence to the contrary. Each of these copies are given a conjectural nickname for ease of discussion.

'''Rolypolys no Nanakorobi Yaoki''' (ローリーポーリーズの七転び八起き, ''Roriiporiizu no Nanakorobi Yaoki'' lit. Rolypolys' Seven-Downs Eight-Ups) is a 1997 educational point-and-click videogame developed by [[OutSide Directors Company]] and published by Shinko Music Entertainment. It was released as a hybrid CD-ROM for Macintosh and Microsoft Windows.

==Development==
The game was submitted to Macromedia's People's Choice Awards competition in 1996, and was selected as a finalist in the 'Kidsware' category. It appeared at the Macromedia User Conference in San Francisco that September, with Sato and representatives from Shinko Music in attendance. It was planned to release in Japan in November, but for unknown reasons, the date was pushed back. Additionally, North American and European releases were considered, under the name "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog," but these ultimately never materialized.

==Former Lost Media Status==
For a long time, Rolypolys was not available to the general public. Several gameplay clips emerged over the years, but the game as a whole held its lost media status until July 2019 when an online store listing was discovered and posted on Reddit by community member VisualMenace. It was quickly snatched up by another member, Gohald, who later posted scans and a disc image with the assistance of DeeDyne on July 22nd.

:''This article is about the game. For the in-universe location, see ''[[Chu-Teng (place)]]''.
'''Chu-Teng''' (中天, ''Chūten'' lit. Mid-Heaven) is a 1995 point-and-click videogame developed by [[Outside Directors Company]] and published by Sony Music Entertainment for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh. It is the sequel to [[Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou]].

Copies of the game became elusive in the years following its release, making it a holy grail of sorts for the fan community. At the end of June 2013, an anonymous user on 4chan's /vr/ board came forward with a Mac copy and shared the disc image a few days later.

==Development==
A hidden message in the game's files by programmer Yasuo Higano reveals that Chu-Teng's code was written in six months. Higano also expresses that he originally joined the industry to work on PlayStation games, so working in the comparatively simple Macromedia Director crushed his ego and made him feel like he wasn't a real programmer. He appears to have left OSD soon after Chu-Teng's release. The company would begin working on PlayStation software within a couple years of his departure.

According to [https://archive.org/details/wired-magazine-04.03-1996-march/page/n170/mode/1up the March 1996 issue of Wired magazine], a North American release of Chu-Teng was planned for mid-1996. Additionally, the June 1996 issue of Taiwanese gaming publication ''Soft World Magazine'' mentions that the game was featured at Sony Interactive's booth during that year's E3. Despite this, an official localization ultimately never hit the market.

==Plot==
{{Spoiler}}

After having regained his soul back from Tong-Nou, Rin is visited by two parts of a creature from above called [[Nanshu]]. He says [[Chu-Teng]] is in danger due to the light fighting against the darkness and in dire need of [[Rin]]'s help. Rin traverse through the heart of Chu-Teng, the three palaces of [[Sun Palace|Sun]], [[Moon Palace|Moon]] and [[Star Palace|Star]], and even the Magatama Planet, to retrieve the missing parts of Nanshu's face, and collect each palace's sacred weapons to combat the Darkness and eventually the [[Supreme Darkness Chuihei]].

'''Tong-Nou''' (東脳, ''Ton'nō'' lit. East Mind), localized in the west as '''Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou''', is a 1994 point-and-click video game developed by [[OutSide Directors Company]] and published by Sony Music Entertainment for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh. Like OSD's other 3D projects from this time period, game areas and characters were modeled by [[Noboru Iizuka]] in a classic-Macintosh build of ''Strata''.

Its sequel, [[Chu-Teng]], was released in Japan only in 1995.

==Plot==
{{Spoiler}}

The story begins with [[Rin]] getting their soul stolen by [[Tong-Nou]], a living "island" with a long history of devouring human souls. Tong-Nou is a giant green head, with his ears, cheeks, and the back of his head leading into a different "land". Each land is themed after one of the five elements of [[wikipedia: Wuxing (Chinese philosophy)|wuxing]].

Rin embarks on a journey to Tong-Nou to retrieve his soul. Before doing so, he decides to visit the Yashiro shrine. On the way he meets a white snake who gifts him with the [[Furoshiki]], in which Rin can carry items, and an [[Amulet]], a one-use item that will protect him from death. At the Yashiro shrine, Rin receives a temporary soul from an old man. This temporary soul will last him 49 days.

Upon arriving at Tong-Nou, a strange island in the shape of a human head, Rin dies after the player finds some way to kill him. However, once he does so, he is told that from now he will acquire nine lives, and that his soul exists as five [[Magatama|Magatamas]] scattered across the five lands of Tong-Nou. Only when he has them all may he retrieve his soul. He is given a [[Mirror]], as well as a [[Nameplate]] bearing his name.

Then, he is directed to the roots of [[Mingke-shu]], the Tree of Life. Here, he can select one each from a set of two eyes, two noses, and two mouths, to be reborn as a creature bearing those parts. He is given a mission to complete, and instructions on how to complete it. Half of these missions are simple and require little input from the player besides clicks, while the other half involve fulfilling some menial task for one of the four Kings.

When each creature's mission is completed, that creature will also die. Again, Rin is given a Nameplate bearing the creature's name and directed back to the roots of Mingke-shu to be reborn once more as a different creature.

In total, there are eight creatures to be reborn as, and so eight more Nameplates to acquire ([[Byou]], [[Tou]], [[Sha]], [[Kai]], [[Jin]], [[Retsu]], [[Zen]] and [[Gyou]]).

Once each of the creatures' missions has been accomplished, and all eight Nameplates acquired, Rin is reborn as himself once more, and instructed to go to the Central Mountain Tong-nou and break the seal on the mountain. This is done by placing all nine Nameplates into the seal.

Having broken the seal, Rin heads up the steps to the top of the mountain. Partway up, he encounters an image of [[Tou-gyou]]. This image tells him where to acquire four of the Magatamas that make up Rin's soul. Once he speaks to the image while in possession of the four Magatamas, it tells him that he still lacks the power to retrieve his soul. It then gifts him with a [[Katana Gem]] containing the force of Earth (Source). Rin must then fill this Gem with four other forces from the other four lands of Tong-Nou. To do so, he must visit the images of Tou-gyou that exist in these lands. Firstly, he must visit [[Yui-wang]], the Land of Desire, to acquire the force of Metal (Eternity), then [[Mon-chien]], the Land of Dreaming, for the force of Water (Change), then [[Ming-ken]], the Land of Life, for the force of Wood (Life), and finally [[Shi-chieng]], the Land of Time, for the force of Fire (Confrontation).

Once the Gem has been filled with all five forces, Rin goes back to the Central Mountain Tong-nou. Tou-gyou's image creates the [[Katana of Five Forces]] from the Gem, and tells Rin that the time to recover his soul has come. Rin climbs to the Octagonal Shrine [[Par-fang]] at the top of the mountain and enters. Here, statues of the four kings of Tong-Nou have entrapped the fifth and final Magatama of Rin's soul, the Earth Magatama. Rin uses the Katana of Five Forces to set the Magatama free. Then, the empty shell of Rin's soul appears. He places the five Magatamas into the shell and his soul is restored.

Tou-gyou, the king of the Central Mountain, who had also been set free by the Katana, appears in the flesh. He explains to Rin that [[Tong-Nou]] is not an island that devours human souls. It is an island that purifies troubled souls. The four kings of the four lands had discovered that they could use the souls' Magatamas for their own selfish needs. They had trapped [[Tou-gyou]] in the Octagonal Shrine to prevent him from interfering with their plans, and tore him into eight pieces and scattered them all over the [[Tong-Nou]] world. He explains that he had been calling out for a soul to save him, but none had been strong enough to withstand the powers of the four kings and were devoured. Rin's soul, however, was strong enough, and he was able to travel the Tong-Nou world and restore Tou-gyou to health. In doing so, his soul became more powerful than ever before. Rin's soul returns to him once more, and the game ends.

==Release==

The game was originally released for Macintosh in Japan on May 21, 1994. This release came with a foldable double-sided insert containing a map of Tong-Nou and a message written in the Tong-Nou alphabet. On October 21, 1995, the game was re-released to coincide with the launch of Chu-Teng, alongside a Windows port.

The US version was published by Sony Imagesoft and released on both platforms in December 1995, after several delays. This version includes 3 tracks from [[Transmigration]] and the contents of the ''Transcript'' CD that was packaged with limited copies of the album. To commemorate its release, a launch party was held in San Francisco, California, where a selection of Sato's work was flown in from Japan to be displayed. Signed copies from the event have occasionally surfaced on auction sites in the years since.

The story begins with [[Rin]] getting their soul stolen by [[Tong-Nou]], a living "island" with a long history of devouring human souls. Tong-Nou is a giant green head, with his ears, cheeks, and the back of his head leading into a different "land". Each land is themed after one of the five elements of [[wikipedia: Wuxing (Chinese philosophy)|wuxing]].

Rin embarks on a journey to Tong-Nou to retrieve his soul. Before doing so, he decides to visit the Yashiro shrine. On the way he meets a white snake who gifts him with the [[Furoshiki]], in which Rin can carry items, and an [[Amulet]], a one-use item that will protect him from death. At the Yashiro shrine, Rin receives a temporary soul from an old man. This temporary soul will last him 49 days.

Upon arriving at Tong-Nou, a strange island in the shape of a human head, Rin dies after the player finds some way to kill him. However, once he does so, he is told that from now he will acquire nine lives, and that his soul exists as five [[Magatama|Magatamas]] scattered across the five lands of Tong-Nou. Only when he has them all may he retrieve his soul. He is given a [[Mirror]], as well as a [[Nameplate]] bearing his name.

Then, he is directed to the roots of [[Mingke-shu]], the Tree of Life. Here, he can select one each from a set of two eyes, two noses, and two mouths, to be reborn as a creature bearing those parts. He is given a mission to complete, and instructions on how to complete it. Half of these missions are simple and require little input from the player besides clicks, while the other half involve fulfilling some menial task for one of the four Kings.

When each creature's mission is completed, that creature will also die. Again, Rin is given a Nameplate bearing the creature's name and directed back to the roots of Mingke-shu to be reborn once more as a different creature.

In total, there are eight creatures to be reborn as, and so eight more Nameplates to acquire ([[Byou]], [[Tou]], [[Sha]], [[Kai]], [[Jin]], [[Retsu]], [[Zen]] and [[Gyou]]).

Once each of the creatures' missions has been accomplished, and all eight Nameplates acquired, Rin is reborn as himself once more, and instructed to go to the Central Mountain Tong-nou and break the seal on the mountain. This is done by placing all nine Nameplates into the seal.

Having broken the seal, Rin heads up the steps to the top of the mountain. Partway up, he encounters an image of [[Tou-gyou]]. This image tells him where to acquire four of the Magatamas that make up Rin's soul. Once he speaks to the image while in possession of the four Magatamas, it tells him that he still lacks the power to retrieve his soul. It then gifts him with a [[Katana Gem]] containing the force of Earth (Source). Rin must then fill this Gem with four other forces from the other four lands of Tong-Nou. To do so, he must visit the images of Tou-gyou that exist in these lands. Firstly, he must visit [[Yui-wang]], the Land of Desire, to acquire the force of Metal (Eternity), then [[Mon-chien]], the Land of Dreaming, for the force of Water (Change), then [[Ming-ken]], the Land of Life, for the force of Wood (Life), and finally [[Shi-chieng]], the Land of Time, for the force of Fire (Confrontation).

Once the Gem has been filled with all five forces, Rin goes back to the Central Mountain Tong-nou. Tou-gyou's image creates the [[Katana of Five Forces]] from the Gem, and tells Rin that the time to recover his soul has come. Rin climbs to the Octagonal Shrine [[Par-fang]] at the top of the mountain and enters. Here, statues of the four kings of Tong-Nou have entrapped the fifth and final Magatama of Rin's soul, the Earth Magatama. Rin uses the Katana of Five Forces to set the Magatama free. Then, the empty shell of Rin's soul appears. He places the five Magatamas into the shell and his soul is restored.

Tou-gyou, the king of the Central Mountain, who had also been set free by the Katana, appears in the flesh. He explains to Rin that [[Tong-Nou]] is not an island that devours human souls. It is an island that purifies troubled souls. The four kings of the four lands had discovered that they could use the souls' Magatamas for their own selfish needs. They had trapped [[Tou-gyou]] in the Octagonal Shrine to prevent him from interfering with their plans, and tore him into eight pieces and scattered them all over the [[Tong-Nou]] world. He explains that he had been calling out for a soul to save him, but none had been strong enough to withstand the powers of the four kings and were devoured. Rin's soul, however, was strong enough, and he was able to travel the Tong-Nou world and restore Tou-gyou to health. In doing so, his soul became more powerful than ever before. Rin's soul returns to him once more, and the game ends.

==Release==

The game was originally released for Macintosh in Japan on May 21, 1994. This release came with a foldable double-sided insert containing a map of Tong-Nou and a message written in the Tong-Nou alphabet. On October 21, 1995, the game was re-released to coincide with the launch of Chu-Teng, alongside a Windows port.

The US version was published by Sony Imagesoft and released on both platforms in December 1995, after several delays. This version includes 3 tracks from [[Transmigration]] and the contents of the ''Transcript'' CD that was packaged with limited copies of the album. To commemorate its release, a launch party was held in San Francisco, California, where a selection of Sato's work was flown in from Japan to be displayed. Signed copies from the event have occasionally surfaced on auction sites in the years since.

'''Tokyo Wakusei Planetokio''' (東京惑星プラネトキオ, lit. "Tokyo Planet Planetokio") is a sci-fi action-adventure and role-playing PlayStation game developed by [[Outside Directors Company]] and published by [[Asmik Ace Entertainment]] on August 26, 1999. It is the sixth game OSD developed, and their second PlayStation game to be published by Asmik Ace. It is also the last game that both [[Osamu Sato]] and [[Hiroko Nishikawa]] worked on.
 
=Plot=
{{Spoiler}}

At some point in the future, each [[wikipedia:Special wards of Tokyo|special ward (city) of Tokyo]] has been rebuilt as a floating island. This was done after the original Tokyo was destroyed by a catastrophic earthquake.

[[File:PlanetokioTVBroadcast.png|thumb|240px|right|"The existence of aliens has been a subject of widespread interest among humans since the 20th century, and now, at long last, an an organism from outer space has appeared on Earth. The alien was spotted in the electric town of Akihabara and has reportedly stolen a large number of electrical appliances."]]

A news broadcast reveals that a space alien is wreaking havoc on [[Akihabara Island]], possibly as part of a wider alien invasion on all the islands. This broadcast is recieved at the Rairai Ken ramen restaurant in [[Hikarigaoka Island|Nerima Hikarigaoka island]], which is home to a secret anti-alien organization called the Planetokio Defense Force. The entrance to this base is located in a refrigerator in the kitchen. The leader of the Planetokio Defense Force, [[Dr. Hokin]], and his pupil [[Iken]] are working on a supreme gun to fight the aliens called the "Naru Naru MK1" (ナルナル１号). Hokin tests both modes of the gun, standard and energized punches, on Iken. As Hokin is explaining the features of the gun to Iken, an alien invasion alarm sounds and Iken is tasked with fighting the alien at Akihabara island. As Iken is about to leave the building, the restaurant owner [[Lailai]] issues him a daytime delivery of "Brainiac Ramen" (頭脳ラーメン) to Rouden electronics, also located in Akihabara island. Iken departs for Akihabara with the alien blaster and the ramen.

As Iken is walking towards the entrance of Rouden electronics, a thief runs past him and steals the ramen. After apologizing to the man who ordered the ramen, he begins to track down the thief. Iken eventually finds and captures the thief, only to find that he ate all of the ramen. To make up for it the thief gives Iken a one hundred yen coin. Iken then uses the coin and a trashed robot he finds in a landfill along the way to defeat [[Biribiri]], the alien from the beginning, and bring it back to the lab.

As Dr. Hokin investigates the alien's body, he finds a molecule that turns out to be a collect virus, the source of all troubles. Dr. Hokin then awards Iken his invented brain so Iken can create his own robot. As he installs the brain to the body, he realizes it needs a headshell to cover the brain and so he called [[Naomi]] of Uomasa fishmongers for opinions, and then she suggests Giddy Park of Shibuya Island and took him there. As Iken and Naomi are at the store, a different alien known as [[Fuwafuwa]] destroys the store and kidnaps her. Iken then seeks the Pigeon gang who gave him the strength to defeat Fuwafuwa and rescue Naomi. Iken then finally brings the robot to life, and Naomi names the new robot [[Boro]].

Meanwhile at Naomi's house, her father, [[Dr. Canbell]] invites Iken and Naomi to his laboratory to witness his masterpiece, [[GyororinRX035beta]] when suddenly a different alien, known as [[Nurunuru]] barges in and steals Gyororin. Iken chases Nurunuru at Asakusa Island and defeats him, freeing Gyororin and allowing Naomi to accept him on a date at the fireworks festival.
After the events of Asakusa, Boro is in Iken's apartment, working as a cleaning maid. He accidentally steps onto his own cord, and he laments how he wishes to be cordless. Boro then wakes up to find out he's in a gorilla suit. Iken claims that animatronics are the trendiest thing in the robot world and that Boro is the type of robot Naomi likes. Iken brings Boro to Iken's workplace when Lailai suddenly appears and orders Iken his meal delivery, leaving Boro with the professor. As Dr. Hokin explains his wig to Boro, [[Choki-choki]] the alien appears and attacked the restaurant. Iken returns to the restaurant after delivery only to find the restaurant in ruins. Dr. Hokin appears from the fridge bald; Hokin explains while Iken was in errantry, the alien appeared and stole his wig to protect his genius mind and Boro, and escaped off to Ueno Island. Hokin tied Iken to a rocket catapult and launched him to Ueno Island. Iken landed on the island unsuccessfully as he was on the train tracks but was able to jump off as the train reached the station. There, Iken again seeks help from the beggars and the protest group to retrieve weapons to defeat Choki-choki. Iken rescues Boro and retrieved Hokin's wig and returns to the restaurant, exhausted. Dr. Hokin offers Boro to recharge his battery using Biri-Biri's body as a power generator. However, the alien's body ends up electrocuting Iken and Dr. Hokin.

Meanwhile, at Uomasa fishmongers, Naomi was testing out different ribbons to satisfy her horn when Dr. Canbell appears and ask what his daughter was doing. Dr. Canbell was shocked in disgust when he saw Naomi's horn and decides to diagnose her and bring the information to Dr. Hokin. Dr. Hokin unfortunate cannot do anything next and suggests Campbell, to wait for additional symptoms. Naomi woke up one morning only to find out she gotten really fat. Iken visits Uomasa to meet Naomi when shortly, he and Canbell heard screams coming from Naomi's room. Iken and Dr. Canbell rushed to Naomi's room, only to find out she isn't there. The truth reveals, a different alien, [[Muchi-Muchi]] has kidnapped Naomi and headed off to Ryogoku-Island. With Dr. Hokin's advice, Dr. Canbell pushes the red button on Iken's Naru-Naru MK1 and launched Iken to Ryogoku-Island. After the events at Ryogoku-Island, Dr. Hokin extracts the 2D-fied Naomi from a book and placed it onto a scanning desk, in his lab. Hokin explains the two that the alien changed Naomi's dimension to turn 2D and to turn it back to 3D, she needs a tiny drop of boiled water. Iken poured a drop of boiled water onto Naomi which changed her back to normal. As Iken attempts to give her a fat blasting supplement, she turned away in disgust, but her body went back to slim and she leaves the headquarters, with Iken chasing her.

One evening, Iken visits Naomi's house once again to apologize for what happened before. There were no responses, and Iken questions why the store was in a blackout during operating hours. Dr. Canbell meets Iken while carrying a candle, where Canbell told Iken his daughter took all the lightbulbs in the house. Iken finds Naomi sitting in the middle of her room, surrounded by lightbulbs and unconscious. Dr. Canbell explains Iken that Naomi was infected by the Collect virus. Dr. Canbell reveals that Naomi was a daughter, created by duplicating the gene of his deceased wife and gestated in the lab. Because Naomi was created artificially, she didn't have the immunity to the Collect Virus, unlike what normal humans do. Canbell explains to Iken that Hokin has managed to extract the virus from her but it is the race against time to create a vaccine to end all invasion. Iken returned home, worried, while Boro questions Iken if Naomi may end up like the aliens. Iken refused to believe that she may end up like the aliens, when suddenly the TV switched to breaking news; An alien has been sighted on Higashogaoka-Island. Iken thought the alien would be Naomi when a call from Dr. Canbell reveals that Naomi was once again kidnapped by the alien while she escaped from her house. Dr. Hokin clarifies that the alien is indeed Pika-pika, and it headed off to Haneda-Island and commands Iken to defeat them. He also commands Boro to convert to his flight-mode which transforms Boro into a small plane for Iken to ride. Iken manages to arrive at Haneda-Island with barely any fuel left for Boro and chases Pika-pika across Tokyo until he confronts them on the highest point of Tokyo Tower. As Iken finishes off the alien with the collect virus, the alien dodged the shot and accidentally land onto Naomi tied to a rope which transforms her into a Naomi headed-monster abomination, Puri-puri. Puri-puri flies up to the highest point of the tower, pushes Iken and Pika-pika, and flies off to Planetokio Kenkou-land. Pika-pika, unfortunately, dies from great heights, but Iken survives the fall by clinging onto the tower's steel frames.

By the time Naomi has turned into Puri-puri, it was too late and this enraged Dr. Canbell very much that Dr. Hokin had to retrain him. Dr. Hokin then orders Boro to return to the HQ to collect the second batch of the vaccine and orders Iken to chase after her. After Boro flew off, Iken meets up with the reporter of Planetokio, Taro Tokio, and asks him to take Iken to Kenkou-Land; Both Iken and the reporter flew off to Kenkou-Land in a flying van. As Boro picks up the vaccine, Iken infiltrates the recreation center, disguised as an employee. Iken reunites Boro in the recreation center only to find out his robot accidentally lost the vaccine. As Puri-puri confronts the weary Iken, and beam of bright light ended the battle.

Iken wakes up to a bight morning sunlight in his room. Unsure if the battle he had was a dream, he walked to Rai Rai Ken, when it turned out it wasn't a dream when he saw the aliens and Naomi in one building. Dr. Hokin explains that the aliens and Naomi are cured of the virus and they're no longer a threat. Boro says the aliens wanted to see Iken's collections and depending on what the player did in the game, they could travel to space to partake the Biennial Intergalactic Collect Exhibition or not.

=Gameplay=
===Overworld===

After a prologue cutscene in each chapter, you'll be in the overworld segment. This segment serves as the main hub where you travel around in the city, gathering information from the locals and obtaining items you'll use for the battle segment. Moving left or right on the directional pad makes Iken walk to that said direction and holding down the triangle button while moving, allows him to run. The controls are like walking on ice, which makes Iken prone to crashing into walls. The up and down buttons are used to enter and exit buildings as well as changing paths, assuming the player can see an arrow pointing to a building or path which they can enter. Circle buttons are used to interact with people and items, as well as serving as the confirm command. The cross button serves the opposite, which is the cancel command. The start button assumes you know, is the pause button where you can see items you've collected during each city and stamps.

In each city, which is based on parts of real-world Tokyo Japan, such as the electronic districts of Akihabara, to the old Edo streets of Asakusa, you'll find four places of interest that are important to the journey. The first two places are connected to each other, the left being Paipai Clinic while the right being Rairaiken Ramen restaurant. Rairaiken serves as a saving point where players can record their progress by talking to Lailai, the owner of the establishment. Paipai Clinic, owned by Dr. Paipai, rescues you if you get knocked out from losing a battle against the alien or get hit by an obstacle during the maze part. A convenience store called "One-Seven" where the clerk gives you items and helpful hints if you get stuck during the journey. And last but not least, the stamp robot who stamps commemorative stamps onto the book, which are key items for getting a good ending to the game.

===Maze Segments===
During certain chapters, Iken must navigate through a maze without getting caught by obstacles patrolling the area, to reach a certain item, or to reach the boss. This is the stealth aspect of the game. The overworld controls still apply to this segment, except the up and down on the directional pad now allows Iken to climb ladders. Obstacles that Iken confronts include police patrol robots, pigeons, and mechanical gorillas.

===Boss Fights===
At the end of each chapter, Iken must face the alien who is troubling the city. Each alien has different strengths and weaknesses. The fights are in the form of first-person turn-based combat, with the alien having a health bar. When it's Iken's turn, the player is given three options:

# The left scroll, which is for selecting an item collected during the chapter. These items (except for chapter 1's boxing glove) disappear after beating the alien.
# The middle scroll, which is for choosing whether the item should be shot standard or energized.
# The circle button, which shoots the selected item at the alien.

Iken has unique, humorous lines depending on what item is chosen. It is crucial for players to bring as many items as they can to stay in the fight longer.

Rhythm 'n' Face

SalsaGal: Add to PS1 Games category

{{MediaInfobox
|name=Rhythm 'n' Face
|janame=リズムンフェイス
|image=File:Rhythm_N_Face-Cover.png
|type=Videogame
|date=9 March 2000
|lost=No
}}

'''Rhythm 'n' Face''' (リズムンフェイス, ''Rizumunfeisu'') is a rhythm video game developed by [[OutSide Directors Company]] and published by [[Asmik Ace Entertainment]] for the [[Playstation]]. The game was released in Japan on March 9th, 2000. A [[Rhythm 'n' Face Supplementary Reader|companion book]] with demonstrations on how to design with basic shapes, as well as designs contributed by various artists and journalists, was released alongside it.

==Gameplay==
The goal of every stage in Rhythm 'n' Face is to manipulate shapes (squares, triangles and circles) to create "faces" in sync with the stage music's beat. Pressing the Circle, Square, and Triangle buttons will select the respective shape and place it in the center of the grid, pressing the L1 and R1 buttons will increase and decrease the size of the shape, and pressing the D-Pad buttons will move the shape on the grid.

Each stage is comprised of a series of two short phases: a computer player will select a shape and manipulate it into a specific size and position, and the player must then copy the computer player's actions while keeping on-beat. If the player doesn't get a shape near the correct position and size before the end of their phase, they lose one life. If the player loses all four of their lives, they must restart the stage. If the player keeps correctly placing shapes, they will rack up a combo and gain a life back (assuming they have lost any). If the combo is high enough, the game will start the player's shapes in a random position on the grid to throw them off and further challenge them to keep their combo going.

At the end of a stage, the player is ranked in two categories: "Rhythm" and "Art", on a scale from 0 to 50. "Rhythm" measures how well the player did in keeping on-beat (as well as how many extra actions they did successfully), and "Art" is used to measure how accurate the player's face is to the intended face.

Every level's face also has an alternative form that can be created. These alternate faces are shown briefly on the loading screen when playing a level for the first time, and can also be found in the game's manual and website. Making these alternative faces will reward the player with additional Art points.

Completing all four routes will unlock the ability to toggle three additional settings in the options menu:
* '''Texture''': Overlays a texture onto every shape.
* '''Fukuwarai''': Makes the active shape as well as all previously placed shapes invisible until the end of the stage.
* '''Duet''': Enables a turn-based multiplayer mode. Whenever one player fails to move a shape correctly, it will become the other player's turn.

If you get 350 total points on any route, that route's bonus stage will be unlocked. The bonus stages act as free-paint modes, allowing you to make faces without having to worry about rhythmic timing or copying the computer player's actions.

{{MediaInfobox
|name=LSD: Dream Emulator
|janame=LSD
|image=File:Lsdcover.png
|date=22 October 1998
|type=Videogame
|lost=No
}}

'''LSD: Dream Emulator''' is an exploration video game developed by [[Outside Directors Company]] and published by [[Asmik Ace Entertainment]] for the [[Playstation]]. The concept for the game was based on OSD employee [[Hiroko Nishikawa]]'s dream diary, which she kept for over a decade. The diary was released as a book called [[Lovely Sweet Dream]] to go along with the game.<ref>http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/lsd-dream-emulator/</ref>

==Release==
The game released in Japan on 22 October 1998, alongside the music CD [[LSD and Remixes]], the previously mentioned book, and a bonus one-song music CD titled [[Lucy in the Sky with Dynamites]] bundled with limited copies.

On August 11, 2010, the game was re-released on the Japanese PlayStation Store under the PS1 Classics section, for ¥617 (equivalent to $5 at the time). This version received a D (17+) rating from CERO (the Japanese equivalent of the ESRB or PEGI).<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20180313225257/https://store.playstation.com/ja-jp/product/JP0004-NPJJ00430_00-0000000000000001</ref>

LSD: Dream Emulator has gained a cult following because of its surreal contents and its scarcity, commonly placed in the top 5 on lists of the rarest/most expensive PlayStation games. Copies on eBay range in price from $700-$1,500.

===Limited/Normal edition discrepancy===
Numerous marketing materials advertise the game to have two versions: a limited version including the bonus CD and a normal version which does not have the bonus CD; however all ~200 copies documented since the early 2000's have been the limited edition. This paradoxically implies that the "normal" release had ''less'' copies produced than the limited edition and may not even exist.

A [https://psxdatacenter.com/ PlayStation archival website] makes the distinction between the limited edition ([https://psxdatacenter.com/games/J/L/SLPS-01556.html SLPS-01556]) and normal edition (supposedly with the ID number [https://psxdatacenter.com/games/J/L/SLPS-01642.html SLPS-01642]), which only raises more questions as the ID given to the normal version would mean Sony catalogued it ''after'' the limited version.

==Gameplay==

The game takes place in a first-person perspective in a 3D surreal environment. The player's "goal" is to explore said environments. The controls are tank controls; the player can move forwards or backwards, turn, strafe, run, look up and behind.

The game is played in short sequences or "dreams". The initial location of each dream is randomized. The player can access other environments by bumping into objects or going through tunnels, a mechanic named "linking". Bumping into certain special objects, like animal and people, will result in a "stranger" dream.

The environments are usually the same, like a Japanese village or a house, but they may be populated by random objects and the default textures swapped with other textures.

Each dream can be about 10 minutes long, then the player will "wake up". However, if the player falls off a pit or a hole, the dream will be cut short.

After a dream, another "day" passes in-game, and the dream is marked in a graph. The graph rates the dreams in relation to it being an Upper, Downer, Static or Dynamic dream. The more the player plays the game, the textures of the environments change more often. Also, there's the possibility of encountering the [[Spy]], who removes the ability to recall a dream in Flashback.

After a certain number of days, the Flashback option will appear. It allows the player to play an abbreviated version of the last dream they played.

Sometimes, a video or dream journal excerpt may take the place of a regular dream.

==Development==
The idea of the [[Linking|linking]] mechanic was derived from Sato's experiences playing racing games. He found them boring as a non-skilled player and envisioned an idea of a game where you were rewarded for smashing the car into a wall and taken somewhere else, believing that to be more entertaining for people bad at those types of games. While trying to work out how to make this mechanic make sense, he had the thought that nothing like that happens in real life, but it could happen in dreams, inspiring the game's setting.<ref>https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2017/11/osamu-sato-interview</ref>

The game's website went live in late 1996. On January 18, 1997, OSD posted an announcement that development had begun.

==Rumors==
Many, many, completely false rumors have been written about LSD: Dream Emulator. The bulk of them come from the game's peak in popularity during the early 2010's, when no context surrounding it was readily accessible in the west. Such rumors include the game being:
* Developed by a woman.
* Developed by someone who committed suicide.
* Developed by a [[Osamu Sato|husband]] and [[Hiroko Nishikawa|wife]].
* Procedurally generated.

==Trivia==
* According to OSD, the title refers not to the drug named [[wikipedia:LSD|LSD]], rather standing for "Link Speed Dream".<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19980221074326/http://compu-lsd.com/lsd/index.html</ref> This would make the game's full title "Link Speed Dream: Dream Emulator".
* On some emulators, the game's water may rapidly flash different colors. This is not the intended look and does not appear on original hardware.

'''Pon''' is a yellow, upright-walking dog who is the main character of the [[Roly Polys]] series. [[Cho]] serves as a foil to Pon, playing substantially more pranks on him than on the other characters. In fact, this dynamic may be a reference to the phrase central to the [[Rolypolys no Nanakorobi Yaoki|first game]], "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog".

"Pon the dog likes nothing better than to take it easy, not thinking about anything. For that reason, he often finds himself the unfair target of Cho who can't stand seeing anyone not doing anything and never fails to get angry when he does. But this doesn't seem to worry Pon, who doesn't care what Cho does to him. He spends most of his time lying around doing nothing but he's extremely tenacious when it comes to food. He'll do anything to get food. He has a strange habit - raising both arms and sitting down with a big bump."

'''Tong-Nou''' (東脳, ''Ton'nō'' lit. East Mind), localized in the west as '''Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou''', is a 1994 point-and-click video game developed by [[OutSide Directors Company]] and published by Sony Music Entertainment for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh. Like OSD's other 3D projects from this time period, game areas and characters were modeled by [[Noboru Iizuka]] in a classic-Macintosh build of ''Strata''.

The game was originally released for Macintosh in Japan on May 21, 1994, with a Windows port arriving the following year. The US version was published by Sony Imagesoft and released on both platforms in late 1995.

Its sequel, [[Chu-Teng]], was released in Japan only in 1995.

==Plot==
{{Spoiler}}

The story begins with [[Rin]] getting their soul stolen by [[Tong-Nou]], a living "island" with a long history of devouring human souls. Tong-Nou is a giant green head, with his ears, cheeks, and the back of his head leading into a different "land". Each land is themed after one of the five elements of [[wikipedia: Wuxing (Chinese philosophy)|wuxing]].

Rin embarks on a journey to Tong-Nou to retrieve his soul. Before doing so, he decides to visit the Yashiro shrine. On the way he meets a white snake who gifts him with the [[Furoshiki]], in which Rin can carry items, and an [[Amulet]], a one-use item that will protect him from death. At the Yashiro shrine, Rin receives a temporary soul from an old man. This temporary soul will last him 49 days.

Upon arriving at Tong-Nou, a strange island in the shape of a human head, Rin dies after the player finds some way to kill him. However, once he does so, he is told that from now he will acquire nine lives, and that his soul exists as five [[Magatama|Magatamas]] scattered across the five lands of Tong-Nou. Only when he has them all may he retrieve his soul. He is given a [[Mirror]], as well as a [[Nameplate]] bearing his name.

Then, he is directed to the roots of [[Mingke-shu]], the Tree of Life. Here, he can select one each from a set of two eyes, two noses, and two mouths, to be reborn as a creature bearing those parts. He is given a mission to complete, and instructions on how to complete it. Half of these missions are simple and require little input from the player besides clicks, while the other half involve fulfilling some menial task for one of the four Kings.

When each creature's mission is completed, that creature will also die. Again, Rin is given a Nameplate bearing the creature's name and directed back to the roots of Mingke-shu to be reborn once more as a different creature.

In total, there are eight creatures to be reborn as, and so eight more Nameplates to acquire ([[Byou]], [[Tou]], [[Sha]], [[Kai]], [[Jin]], [[Retsu]], [[Zen]] and [[Gyou]]).

Once each of the creatures' missions has been accomplished, and all eight Nameplates acquired, Rin is reborn as himself once more, and instructed to go to the Central Mountain Tong-nou and break the seal on the mountain. This is done by placing all nine Nameplates into the seal.

Having broken the seal, Rin heads up the steps to the top of the mountain. Partway up, he encounters an image of [[Tou-gyou]]. This image tells him where to acquire four of the Magatamas that make up Rin's soul. Once he speaks to the image while in possession of the four Magatamas, it tells him that he still lacks the power to retrieve his soul. It then gifts him with a [[Katana Gem]] containing the force of Earth (Source). Rin must then fill this Gem with four other forces from the other four lands of Tong-Nou. To do so, he must visit the images of Tou-gyou that exist in these lands. Firstly, he must visit [[Yui-wang]], the Land of Desire, to acquire the force of Metal (Eternity), then [[Mon-chien]], the Land of Dreaming, for the force of Water (Change), then [[Ming-ken]], the Land of Life, for the force of Wood (Life), and finally [[Shi-chieng]], the Land of Time, for the force of Fire (Confrontation).

Once the Gem has been filled with all five forces, Rin goes back to the Central Mountain Tong-nou. Tou-gyou's image creates the [[Katana of Five Forces]] from the Gem, and tells Rin that the time to recover his soul has come. Rin climbs to the Octagonal Shrine [[Par-fang]] at the top of the mountain and enters. Here, statues of the four kings of Tong-Nou have entrapped the fifth and final Magatama of Rin's soul, the Earth Magatama. Rin uses the Katana of Five Forces to set the Magatama free. Then, the empty shell of Rin's soul appears. He places the five Magatamas into the shell and his soul is restored.

Tou-gyou, the king of the Central Mountain, who had also been set free by the Katana, appears in the flesh. He explains to Rin that [[Tong-Nou]] is not an island that devours human souls. It is an island that purifies troubled souls. The four kings of the four lands had discovered that they could use the souls' Magatamas for their own selfish needs. They had trapped [[Tou-gyou]] in the Octagonal Shrine to prevent him from interfering with their plans, and tore him into eight pieces and scattered them all over the [[Tong-Nou]] world. He explains that he had been calling out for a soul to save him, but none had been strong enough to withstand the powers of the four kings and were devoured. Rin's soul, however, was strong enough, and he was able to travel the Tong-Nou world and restore Tou-gyou to health. In doing so, his soul became more powerful than ever before. Rin's soul returns to him once more, and the game ends.

|location=[[Tong-tah]]
|role=Creature
}}
'''Ni-a-mong''' is a member of the [[A-mong Family]] of thieves, and is associated with the Land of Time [[Shi-chieng]].

==Appearance==
Ni-a-mong shares the same general look as the rest of the A-mong family. Much like them, Ni-a-mong is a tripedal humanoid creature donning wooden sandals, a cape, a symbol on their chest, and a hat with an eyeball and seal with a symbol on it. Ni-a-mong is distinguished by their turquoise coloration, as well as their symbol of choice being two vertical lines (the Tong-Nou Script symbol for "2").

==Purpose==
Ni-a-mong will randomly appear on Floor 2 of the Fire Tower of Time [[Tong-tah]]. When clicked on they will attempt to steal a random item from the [[Furoshiki]] and dash off.

===Item Preference===
Ni-a-mong will attempt to steal the [[Tong-Nou Illustrated Book]], [[Compass]], or [[Eye-Glasses]]. Should Rin have none of those items, they will be unable to steal anything.

==Tong-Nou Book Entry==
===Likes===
[...] ''Ni-a-mong will take anything.'' [...]

==Trivia==
* Strangely, and perhaps counter-intuitively, Ni-a-mong does not actually take any item like his entry in the Tong-Nou Book may suggest; he has a preference for items that are primarily useful inside [[Shi-chieng]].

This is one single-minded, smart young monkey. He can use a computer and his greatest skill is being able to make anything he wants to. His absolute favorite food is fried bananas. He doesn't feel right if he hasn't got fried bananas on hand at all times. Because of that he invented a machine that can make fried bananas, so you can see he's pretty banana crazy. He's not very good at physical activity and his weak point is climbing trees. But he developed a computer-controlled hi-tech ladder so that he can say "Even I can climb a tree." I guess that's a monkey's pride for you.

| Spday04e || '''兎の内臓''' 兎の内臓がいくつか置かれている。これは大変美味しいのだと、誰かが云う。私は兎が毛を剥がれて解体されるシーンを思う。不思議と生々しくなく、血の一滴すらこぼれない情景。音のない演奏会、役者のでない芝居。 || '''"Rabbit entrails"''' There are some rabbit entrails. Someone says they are really tasty. I picture a rabbit being skinned and taken apart. Strangely, the image is not at all graphic; not a drop of blood spills. A concert without music, a play without actors.
|-
| Spday04f || '''奇妙な人''' 人工の四角い池のまわりに、蛇の身体と人間の頭を持った奇妙な人たちがいる。彼らは中世の貴族のように羽飾りの帽子を被り、織物の胴着を着て、大きな杯を持っている。私は、その奇妙な人の細長い身体に大きな石を載せて動けなくしてしまう。 || '''"Bizarre people"''' Strange man - There are strange people around the artificial square pond with snake's body and human head. Like a medieval aristocrat, they wear feathered hats and have big cups wearing textile bodice. I place a big stone on the elongated body of that strange person and make it stuck.

| Spday05c || '''本を埋める''' 本を埋める。深く深く掘った地面の中に。子供達の教育のためにそうするのだ。 || '''"Burying a book"''' Burying a book - I'm burying a book deep, deep in a hole I dug in the ground. I'm doing this for the children's education. (Credit: Chia) (TL note: The world "hole" isn't explicitly stated in the original text.)
|-
| Spday05d || '''唇に紅を塗る''' 誰かの唇に、私が赤い紅を紅筆で塗ってあげている。私はただ懸命に紅をその人の唇に塗っている。「もっと濃く塗らなければ取れてしまうから駄目だ」私はその声に、もっと丁寧に厚く紅を塗り潰していく。 || '''"Putting on lipstick"''' I am putting red rouge on somebody's lips with a lip brush. From somewhere up above, I hear the person's voice: "You have to put it on much thicker or it will come off." Pushed by the voice, I keep filling in the rouge; thicker and thicker, more and more carefully.
|-
| Spday05e || '''蕎麦の失敗''' 台所で蕎麦を茹でている。台所の窓から陽が差し込み、俎板の上に散らばった青い葱の微塵切りを照らしている。別の鍋の鰹出汁に味付けをするが、濃くなりすぎて失敗。鍋の出汁を薄めて作り直すべきか、悩む。 || '''"I failed to make soba noodles"''' I was boiling soba noodles in the kitchen. The sun peeped from the window, shining at the diced green onions on the chopping board. When I was seasoning the Bonito broth from the separate pot, I accidentally made the broth too strong. I was wondering if I should try again and make the broth weaker. (PuPTooN)
|-
| Spday05f || '''亀''' 自分の席に着くと、小さな亀がいる。所々、甲羅が割れており、どこかに落ちたみたいだ。私は、入れ物を探してそこへ亀を入れて飼うことにした。でもこの先ずっとこの亀を飼い続けられるかが心配だ。 || '''"A turtle"''' There is a small turtle when you arrive at your seat. In some places, the shell seems to be broken and seems to have fallen somewhere. I decided to look for a container and put a turtle there and keep it. But I am worried that I can keep keeping this turtle all the time. (Credit: 「日本」ウィンディ#8668)
|-
| Spday06c || '''白い閃光''' 居間のテーブルの上には、箱が置かれている。亡くなった人の形見なのだ。私はその人を想っている。すると急に開け放った窓から、白い閃光が飛んできて、母の目の前で炸裂した。きっとその光は、亡くなった人の魂だろう。 || '''"A bright flash"''' White flash of light - There's a box placed on top of the table in the living room. It's the memento of someone who died. I'm thinking about that person. All of a sudden, [[Window|a white flash flew in from a window that was left open]] and burst in front of my/their[2] mother. It was undoubtedly the deceased person's soul. (Credit: Chia) (TL note[1]: (resolved) [2]: Whether the writer meant "my mother" or "their mother" is ambiguous.)
|-
| Spday06d || '''女の子の背中''' 銀行の玄関先に屋根のある八畳程のスペースがある。そこに布団を敷いて私は眠っている。背中にパウダーを付けた小さな裸の女の子が、背をこちらに向け、外の光を受けている。背骨や肩胛骨がくっきりと浮かんでいる。 || '''"The back of the girl"''' I was sleeping in a small room above the bank's entrance. There was a naked little girl, sunbathing with powder covering her back. Her spine and shoulder bone visibly protruded from her back.

But that person made my cat turn invisible. All that was left was its body looking like a transparent half moon. (PuPTooN)
|-
| Spday06f || '''落下した少年''' 少年の乗った車が走る。斜面に向かって、落下。私はそれを見ていた。先程の少年は酷たらしく血を流して死んでいる。不思議に怖いとは思わなかった。日常の景色を見るように、自然にその惨状を見ていた。 || '''"The boy who fell"''' A car goes by, carrying a boy. Towards the slope, it falls. I am watching this scene. The boy is bleeding to death, horribly. Somehow I am not scared. [It is] as though this was an ordinary scene in my life.
|-
| Spday07c || '''濡れた老人と洗面器''' 外の狭い物干し台に、小太りの老人が立っている。雨がひどく降っている。老人を椅子に座らせ、泥だらけの裸足の足を拭き、女の子に水を入れた洗面器を持ってくるように云い付ける。その洗面器の乳白色がいやに目に付く。 || '''"A wet old man and a basin"''' Standing outside, in the area where we dry our laundry is a chubby old man. Rain is pouring down. We sit him on a chair, clean his muddy, bare feet and order a girl to get a basin filled with water. My eyes keep returning to the milky white color of the basin.
|-
| Spday07d || '''赤いホテル''' ホテル中が赤く塗られてる。正面にロビイ、左手に客室へと続く廊下。また廊下の天井の隅には、定規が取り付けられている。定規も赤く塗られており、その目盛りが部屋ごとに付いている。子供の名前を載せて定規の上に走る。 || '''"Red hotel"''' The hotel's interior were painted red. The lobby was in front of me. To the left of the lobby was a corridor leading to the guest rooms. There were rulers installed on each corner of the celling. These rulers were also painted red. The entire room had children's names marked above the rulers. (PuPTooN)
|-
| Spday07e || '''雨の降る部屋''' 雨の音が激しい。部屋の中のテレビの下から雨が降っており、座卓を濡らして床下へ流れている。慌てるかどうしようもない。天井の方にも黒い空間があるようだ。そのうち部屋全体が縮まってきた気がしてきた。 || '''"The raining room"''' The noise of the rain is very loud. The floor underneath the kotatsu table in the centre of the room is also wide open. I jump up, but there is nothing I can do about it. It looks like there's another dark space on the ceiling as well. Soon, I start feeling like the entire room is shrinking.
|-
| Spday07f || '''温泉旅館とフィルム見物''' 古い温泉旅館に来た。大勢の人々がそこへ集い、何かのフィルムを見ている。これは義務である。私もその人々の中に混じり、大広間に映し出されるフィルムを見ている。同級生の陽子ちゃんが、「うしろに金髪の人がいる」と私に耳打ちする。 || '''"Onsen Travel House and Film Viewing"''' I came to an old onsen travel house. A lot of people were gathered there watching some film. It [viewing] is required. I blend in with the crowd and watch the film projected in the reception hall. Yoko-chan from my class whispers to me: "There is a blonde person behind us."
|-
| Spday08c || '''顔の皮膚の再生''' 額や顎の皮膚がするりと剥がれ、剥がした下には赤ちゃんみたいな瑞々しい皮膚が生まれている。頬の皮膚も剥がそうとするが、ここは上手く剥がれない。 || '''"Regenerating the skin on your face"''' The skin on your forehead or chin is slipping, peeling off. Underneath what has been peeled off, skin like that of a baby is being created. The skin on your cheek is also about to peel off, however it won't come off so easily.

From atop these stairs, I look down upon them.A man who has decorated his naked body with black feathers is walking between the people gathered.

|-
| Spday08e || '''子供''' 布団を敷いた自分の部屋。小さな子供の女の子もいる。赤ん坊がやっと人型のカタチに育ったような身体付きの女の子だ。裸ででんぐりかえりしている。私たちはこの子供をどこからか連れてきたのだが、もう私はこの子供の事が邪魔になっている。 || '''"This child"''' There was a little girl in my bedroom. She was a naked baby who could stand up and perform acrobatic somersaults. It was driving me crazy that we did not know who brought her here.
|-
| Spday08f || '''ハワイのプール部屋''' もうひとりの女性の部屋を訪ねると、まるでプールのように水で溢れている。釦を押すと、するすると水が退き、すぐ乾燥する仕組み。驚いている私に、ハワイは乾燥しているからこんな事をしても平気なのだと、彼女が云う。 || '''"Swimming pool room in Hawaii"''' I visit a woman in her room and find it is filled with water, like a swimming pool. A button is pushed, the water recedes and the whole place dries instantly. Seeing the stunned look on my face, the woman tells me it’s only possible in Hawaii because the air is so dry.
|-
| Spday09c || '''米粒''' 茶碗をレンジから取り出すと、米粒がレンジの受皿の下のほうに飛び散っている。私はその米粒を箸で一粒一粒取り、食べていく。真っ暗な電子レンジの中に白く浮き上がった米粒が、長い箸で一粒ずつ取り除かれていく様が目に焼き付く。 || '''"Grains of rice"''' When I took the bowl out from the microwave, bits of rice grains scattered underneath the glass plate. I was then eating bits of rice grains using chopsticks. This was burning into my memory. (PuPTooN)

Textures

2023-07-19T04:36:47Z

SalsaGal: Add Gallery

Each area in [[LSD: Dream Emulator]] can appear decorated in one of four texture sets. These texture sets are commonly referred to by fans as "Normal", "Kanji", "Downer", and "Upper", though internally they're only known as textures A-D.

==Texture Motifs==
===Normal===
The first texture set. As the name suggests, this texture set is the baseline with nothing wacky going on.

===Kanji===
Also called Logic textures. Every surface is tinted purple and covered head-to-toe in Japanese writing. Text over generic surfaces like grass or walls consists of excerpts from the [[Dream Diary]], unique entities are usually labelled with the appropriate kanji symbol describing it (e.g. the moon from [[Moonlight Tower]] has the symbol for moon, 月, written on it in Kanji textures).

===Downer===
Textures become tinted red, distorted, and staticy. [[3D Eyeball|Eyeballs]] appear everywhere one could think of placing them.

===Upper===
Photos of scantily clad female models and magazine clippings line every surface, with bright flourishing hues.

==The Texture Cycle==
The first ten days have Normal textures, with another texture set being added into the mix every 10 days (for example, from days 11-20 areas have a chance of possessing either Normal textures or Kanji textures, then Downer gets added, and so on). The order is Normal, Kanji, Downer, Upper. After the final day of Upper textures, the cycle will reset.

* LSD Revamped shares its name with a fan recreation of LSD, which started development years before this album was released. We can gather that Sato was aware of this project by the inclusion of gameplay footage in one of the music videos. We're left to speculate whether he took inspiration from fan interest, or named it to deliberately obscure it in search results out of spite.

LSD: Dream Emulator

}}

'''LSD: Dream Emulator''' is an exploration video game developed by [[Outside Directors Company]] and published by [[Asmik Ace Entertainment]] for the [[Playstation]]. The concept for the game was based on OSD employee [[Hiroko Nishikawa]]'s dream diary, which she kept for over a decade. The diary was released as a book called [[Lovely Sweet Dream]] to go along with the game.<ref>http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/lsd-dream-emulator/</ref>

==Release==
The game released in Japan on 22 October 1998, alongside the music CD [[LSD and Remixes]], the previously mentioned book, and a bonus one-song music CD titled [[Lucy in the Sky with Dynamites]] bundled with limited copies.

On August 11, 2010, the game was re-released on the Japanese PlayStation Store under the PS1 Classics section, for ¥617 (equivalent to $5 at the time). This version received a D (17+) rating from CERO (the Japanese equivalent of the ESRB or PEGI).<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20180313225257/https://store.playstation.com/ja-jp/product/JP0004-NPJJ00430_00-0000000000000001</ref>

LSD: Dream Emulator has gained a cult following because of its surreal contents and its scarcity, commonly placed in the top 5 on lists of the rarest/most expensive PlayStation games. Copies on eBay range in price from $700-$1,500.

===Limited/Normal edition discrepancy===
Numerous marketing materials advertise the game to have two versions: a limited version including the bonus CD and a normal version which does not have the bonus CD; however all ~200 copies documented since the early 2000's have been the limited edition. This paradoxically implies that the "normal" release had ''less'' copies produced than the limited edition and may not even exist.

A [https://psxdatacenter.com/ PlayStation archival website] makes the distinction between the limited edition ([https://psxdatacenter.com/games/J/L/SLPS-01556.html SLPS-01556]) and normal edition (supposedly with the ID number [https://psxdatacenter.com/games/J/L/SLPS-01642.html SLPS-01642]), which only raises more questions as the ID given to the normal version would mean Sony catalogued it ''after'' the limited version.

==Gameplay==

The game takes place in a first-person perspective in a 3D surreal environment. The player's "goal" is to explore said environments. The controls are tank controls; the player can move forwards or backwards, turn, strafe, run, look up and behind.

The game is played in short sequences or "dreams". The initial location of each dream is randomized. The player can access other environments by bumping into objects or going through tunnels, a mechanic named "linking". Bumping into certain special objects, like animal and people, will result in a "stranger" dream.

The environments are usually the same, like a Japanese village or a house, but they may be populated by random objects and the default textures swapped with other textures.

Each dream can be about 10 minutes long, then the player will "wake up". However, if the player falls off a pit or a hole, the dream will be cut short.

After a dream, another "day" passes in-game, and the dream is marked in a graph. The graph rates the dreams in relation to it being an Upper, Downer, Static or Dynamic dream. The more the player plays the game, the textures of the environments change more often. Also, there's the possibility of encountering the [[Spy]], who removes the ability to recall a dream in Flashback.

After a certain number of days, the Flashback option will appear. It allows the player to play an abbreviated version of the last dream they played.

Sometimes, a video or dream journal excerpt may take the place of a regular dream.

==Development==

The idea of the [[Linking|linking]] mechanic was derived from Sato's experiences playing racing games. He found them boring as a non-skilled player and envisioned an idea of a game where you were rewarded for smashing the car into a wall and taken somewhere else, believing that to be more entertaining for people bad at those types of games. While trying to work out how to make this mechanic make sense, he had the thought that nothing like that happens in real life, but it could happen in dreams, inspiring the game's setting.<ref>https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2017/11/osamu-sato-interview</ref>

==Trivia==
* According to the foldable insert in copies of [[Linen Sampler]], LSD was originally planned to release in autumn 1997.
* Despite common belief, the flashing water visible in many emulations of the game is not the intended look and does not appear on real consoles.

'''LSD: Dream Emulator''' is an exploration video game developed by [[Outside Directors Company]] and published by [[Asmik Ace Entertainment]] for the [[Playstation]]. The concept for the game was based on OSD employee [[Hiroko Nishikawa]]'s dream diary, which she kept for over a decade. The diary was released as a book called [[Lovely Sweet Dream]] to go along with the game.<ref>http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/lsd-dream-emulator/</ref>

==Release==
The game released in Japan on 22 October 1998, alongside the music CD [[LSD and Remixes]], the previously mentioned book, and a bonus one-song music CD titled [[Lucy in the Sky with Dynamites]] bundled with limited copies.

On August 11, 2010, the game was re-released on the Japanese PlayStation Store under the PS1 Classics section, for ¥617 (equivalent to $5 at the time). This version received a D (17+) rating from CERO (the Japanese equivalent of the ESRB or PEGI).<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20180313225257/https://store.playstation.com/ja-jp/product/JP0004-NPJJ00430_00-0000000000000001</ref>

LSD: Dream Emulator has gained a cult following because of its surreal contents and its scarcity, commonly placed in the top 5 on lists of the rarest/most expensive PlayStation games. Copies on eBay range in price from $700-$1,500.

===Limited/Normal edition discrepancy===
Numerous marketing materials advertise the game to have two versions: a limited version including the bonus CD and a normal version which does not have the bonus CD; however all ~200 copies documented since the early 2000's have been the limited edition. This paradoxically implies that the "normal" release had ''less'' copies produced than the limited edition and may not even exist.

A [https://psxdatacenter.com/ PlayStation archival website] makes the distinction between the limited edition ([https://psxdatacenter.com/games/J/L/SLPS-01556.html SLPS-01556]) and normal edition (supposedly with the ID number [https://psxdatacenter.com/games/J/L/SLPS-01642.html SLPS-01642]), which only raises more questions as the ID given to the normal version would mean Sony catalogued it ''after'' the limited version.

==Gameplay==

The game takes place in a first-person perspective in a 3D surreal environment. The player's "goal" is to explore said environments. The controls are tank controls; the player can move forwards or backwards, turn, strafe, run, look up and behind.

The game is played in short sequences or "dreams". The initial location of each dream is randomized. The player can access other environments by bumping into objects or going through tunnels, a mechanic named "linking". Bumping into certain special objects, like animal and people, will result in a "stranger" dream.

The environments are usually the same, like a Japanese village or a house, but they may be populated by random objects and the default textures swapped with other textures.

Each dream can be about 10 minutes long, then the player will "wake up". However, if the player falls off a pit or a hole, the dream will be cut short.

After a dream, another "day" passes in-game, and the dream is marked in a graph. The graph rates the dreams in relation to it being an Upper, Downer, Static or Dynamic dream. The more the player plays the game, the textures of the environments change more often. Also, there's the possibility of encountering the [[Spy]], who removes the ability to recall a dream in Flashback.

After a certain number of days, the Flashback option will appear. It allows the player to play an abbreviated version of the last dream they played.

Sometimes, a video or dream journal excerpt may take the place of a regular dream.

==Trivia==
* According to the foldable insert in copies of [[Linen Sampler]], LSD was originally planned to release in autumn 1997.
* Despite common belief, the flashing water visible in many emulations of the game is not the intended look and does not appear on real consoles.
