Diggin' Yet Another Delusion.

Dyad, a psychedelic arcade abstract shooter that aims to mesmerize the player, and possibly even induce altered states of consciousness, with its rhythmic pulse and vibrant colors, is available for pre-order 20% off on GOG.com. That's only $11.99, until the game arrives on Wednesday, April 24, approximately at 10:00AM GMT.

[url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/dyad][/url]It's quite difficult to explain Dyad to someone who never played it. No, seriously! You could talk about it for over 6 minutes [url=http://youtu.be/hWm-dbYwEpg" target="_blank]on video[/url], and still leave the viewer confused as to what the game is about. It's probably easier to explain what the game feels like, especially if you reach deep into the vocabulary of the groovy 1960s. It would still be pointless, though, as there are some things that make sense only when you experience them, not talk about them. This game, most certainly, is one of those things.

Dyad, apart from the "wow, dude, that's like soooo groovy" factor, is a fast-paced abstract shooter in which you fly up a tunnel made of light. The game contains 27 varied levels featuring filled with vibrant colors, mesmerizing shapes, and interactive music. There's also a tactical trophy mode and meditative remix mode, that reportedly may put you in a peculiar state of mind. All that makes up for a unique experience that goes beyond gaming and explores the realm of transcendence.

If you're up for a transcendental voyage filled with amazing colors and sounds, Dyad is the legal way to go, and the limitless trip wil cost you only $11.99 on GOG.com.

Developer and publisher seem to be missing from the description on the game page, as well as bonuses.

Not really interested in that kind of games.
It's weird how these arcadey shooty things always cost around twice as much as your usual pretty well fleshed out indie game.

][ Games / ][ Games is my favourite developer/publisher combo!

][ Games is the developer and publisher :D
Ah so now we have digital LSD.

No way I'm gonna play this game. I almost got a headache just from looking at screenshots. Sorry GOG.

Edit: Typo removed. I blame the forum gnomes, usual scapegoats that they are.

Haven't heard of LSD Dream Simulator on PSX, have ya.

Anyway, looks a lot like Rez/Child of Eden. I don't like rip-offs but I'd love a chance to play this kind of game on my PC so I guess I'm actually kinda looking up to this one.

Edit: Okay, a look at the trailer suggests that it's a lot different after all. Interesting. Will pick it up eventually.
