I really got into this game but I could only play it for so long until it started repeating again. What genre does this game fall under and does anyone know any other games that are like it?

I don't think there is a genre for this game it is really a one of a kind. I remember seeing that horse running around and the giant fish floating in the air and me being like "WTF" XD good times.
the game is what it says an emulator or simulation type game it's supposed to simulate what it's like to be on Lsd and no I don't know of anymore like it but you could try goggling drug simulation games and see what you get.
Or take some real drugs and play mario.oooooooooooooooooooh mushrooms. (not that i condone that sorta thing)
try psychonauts, some levels are realy freaky and with all the flashy mental images floating around for you to capture. You wouldn't notice the difference if you were as high as the ISS :p
Well, it's a dream simulator. Don't think there are any games that fit in the same category. I actually haven't tried it, but saw some gameplay videos on youtube.
It's a nice gaming experiment, however.
One of a kind?! PFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT HAHAHAHHAH NO.
Yume Nikki. It's more or less the same thing, in 2D.
It has a HUGE fan following, and it's regarded as one of the most unique indie games around.
Go around in 12 worlds that connect with each other through portals and ladders to get 25 items. Get lost in it. Enjoy the worldless story and come up with your own theories about what does everything mean once you've finished it.
It sparked the creation of fan games in the same vein of it - a fan sequel and two or three hacks, but play the original first.
NOTE: DO NOT USE A GUIDE TO GET THROUGH, EVER! THE FUN COMES FROM EXPLORING EVERY WORLD'S FURTHEST CORNERS.
NOTE 2: The game is best played alone, at night, with the lights out, and earphones. Don't worry, it doesn't have more than literally one or two jump-scares. It lies more in the creepiness to keep you on the edge of your seat.
To be honest I'm amazed that nobody mentioned it yet.
To get you going, the story is centered on a girl that cannot/doesn't want to leave her room. Some fans say that her dreams are actually personal issues she has to solve before doing so.
If you enjoyed LSD, you WILL thank me later.
I tried this game once, then I tried it while drunk. All I can say is Holy shit!
I haven't played yume-nikki myself, but I know it's up there with those crazy ass games. I need to check it out ASAP. I recently played LSD again on my brother's PS3 last weekend, now that PS1 backups work. Still crazy as fuck and enjoyable :p.Quote:

I went into a house and came out and he appeared right in front of the street lamp. Luckily for me I've mastered the game controls so I was able to easily get out of there with my dream intact. For a 3 months in dev ps1 game I'm proud of it. Despite the poor graphics and controls, you can find a unique world. Also megaman, thanks for posting about Yume Nikki. I've just downloaded the game and it's a refreshing experience.
You're welcome!Quote:

Well, thanks for the info. I did stumble upon Yume Nikki about a year ago. I downloaded it and it wouldn't work. I think I needed to muck around quite a bit to get it working (I remember finding other people that were having the same problem). Anyway, I'll try it again because it looks really good.
And... Psychonauts, a friend of mine recommended that. He had it on XBOX and told me to play it. I watched the trailer for the game and it looked pretty insane. I'm guessing there's a PC version too. Once I get a better computer, I'll be grabbing that...
