Lucid Cycle Aims To Put Us To Sleep, But For Good Reason!
Walking simulators are an acquired taste, but the upcoming title Lucid Cycle is a thought-provoking experience that explores sleep in innovative ways using environmental puzzles that perhaps don’t have clear objectives.

No doubt you’re familiar with being lucid, notably in dreams. In layman terms, where you have such vivid experiences but know you’re dreaming while it’s happening. I’ve had these since a young age, and even to this day, if I have a nightmare, ‘go back’ while in the moment and attempt to change the outcome. They’ll lock me up, I tell you!
More relevant, Eastasiasoft has worked with Tonguç Bodur to bring to console gamers (dreamers), and it’s out this week. A first-person exploration where you explore dreams that may seem coherent, but neither are our own. I’m not blowing smoke up anyone’s derriere, but this is highly conceptual, and I’m fascinated by it.
Here’s a Lucid Cycle trailer:
Lucid Cycle is out on PS4/5, the Xboxeseses and the Nintendo Switch from the 27th of October. It’s priced at US$6.99/€6.99 with a 20% launch discount too.
