Lcd Dem

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. There is a notable feature different from other fangames is after Chie pinch her cheek to leave from dream, in the real world Chie does not leave from bed and countdown starts then sleep again. You have to press decide key to leave from bed for awake.

The game receives praise for its musical score.

Another notable feature is, the variation of in-game sprites of Chie about sitting and climbing have designed for all effects (except a few of states which not allowed to do so), which most fangames have to unuse the effect when protagonist take the same action, as well as Yume Nikki.

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.
