I... I don't get it?some rooms are very pretty and others are spooky.

LSD is quite possibly the oddest game I've ever played.Its so corkingly wrong and one of the few games where the playstation texturing actually feels at home ;)

...what is this?Is there a point to it? What's it trying to say?Oh, I'm so confused...Ok, any Japanese speakers? What does "tomare" (とまれ) mean?

Tomare means "Stop!"

Too fantastic to bear... Brilliant. Now, let's play crystal meth while listening to the Beattles...

is there anything to this besides the obvious? the review declined to give any details for fear of "spoilers"

i havn't played soup, but lsd is a self-branded "dream emulator", in which you explore a surreal polygon landscape - based on a journal of dreams kept by one of the development staff over a ten-year period - that shifts and changes as you play. it's one of the most haunting experiences on the playstation. i assume that soup is along the same lines.

Except Soup just seems to be a collection of themed boxes with sometimes interesting music. Since it's not even a 1.0 there could be something to this, but at this point it seems more lazy than poignant. The first room is as good as it gets.
