This game is not for children. There is swearing and elements of illegal drugs, alcohol, some very light sexual themes (no boobies, just text sorry), and ideologically sensitive materials. This game is recommended for an older audience. Overall, it's just a game, so please don't take any of it seriously.
STORY: It is Winter 1973in the small northern Colorado town of Spathiwa. 17 year old Adria Spesshardt, a self proclaimed “flower child”, is thrown out into blizzard weather after a major disagreement between her and her borderline psychotic Christian foster parents and is forced to find shelter. Hobbling through the quiet freezing temperatures, her desperation leads her to the mansion of a local reclusive scientist, Dr. Albert Sanders, who has recently become even more of a hermit according to the townsfolk. Seeing the home empty, she breaks in to escape the increasingly deadly cold. Attempting to be a polite uninvited guest, her resolution fails as boredom gets the best of her and she begins exploring the large manor. Adria’s curiosity soon turns into terror as she realizes her oasis in the blizzard is more or less a prison, both physically and mentally.
SETTING:
The game takes place in Spathiwa, Colorado, a fictional small town somewhere near the border of Wyoming. The town has a population of 12,355, meaning that most people know each other around town, with room for seeing a new face here and there. Despite it's small size, the town has a diverse environment from dilapidated low income homes to large homes near the mountains to industrial areas and so on. The entire game takes place inside Dr. Albert Sander's mansion near the mountains. Here is where you realize that you will have to wait out the weather in this gilded cage. The mansion has a seemingly simple layout, but an altered state of mind could ruin the simplicity.
CHARACTERS:
Adria Spesshardt
Adria is a 17 year old girl who resides in the fictional town of Spathiwa, Colorado during the 1970s. She was abandoned by her biological parents when she was a baby which led to her adoption by Adam and Sandra Spesshardt, two extremely paranoid, conservative Christians. Her upbringing is hard, having to deal with abuse at home from her foster parents and 8 (except for one, Cheryl) other siblings coupled with bullying at school, causing her to turn to drugs like weed and LSD to justify the trauma in her life. Despite everything, she is still able to make some friends and do well in school. During the winter of 1973, she is thrown out by her foster family into a freezing blizzard after an ideological disagreement between the two parties. She almost freezes to death in the snow, but luckily she finds a seemingly abandoned manor to take shelter in.
Dr. Albert Sanders
Albert Sanders is a reclusive scientist that lives in the more affluent area of Spathiwa in his large home. Born in Mobile, Alabama, he moved to California in his teens and later graduated from the University of California - Berkley, receiving a Ph.D in Chemistry. He worked with other scientists on various government projects before meeting his wife, a fellow chemist. Together they retired to a large home in Colorado and had a daughter together. His wife and daughter passed away in 1971 from an unknown disease, throwing him into a depressive state and further isolating himself from the world. He is well known around the town and is known for his hermit behavior and is rumored to be a Soviet spy due to his secrecy. By the time of Lucid State Dream, he is conveniently nowhere to be found in his home.

CREATOR NOTES:
So far this hasn’t gotten massively far, but I like the concept enough to develop it some more. It still needs a lot of fleshing out, but I've decided to put out a small demo/beta of the game for people to see what I have so far. Please keep in mind that I’m pretty bad at consistency, so the game is subject to huge changes in plot, maps, progression, etc. but I promise to put at least some thought into changes I might make. Please play it, let me know what you think about the atmosphere and whatnot. It’d be really cool if some real LSD users played this demo and gave suggestions, but I realize a lot of RPG Maker users are not drug users lol.
Please no “durr drugs are stoopid”/straight edge or any other ideological comments or replies, it’s a game and should be taken as such. If you don’t like the story because it’s too edgy or whatever for you, then don’t play it, it’s not for you.
Now if you don’t like the story because it sucks and it has plotholes, that’s A-OK!
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
