The Sun Faces Heave is a location in LSD: Dream Emulator. It is an area with not much more than a translucent bridge attached to two large sun-like faces, which floats in an endless black space. This, and Clockwork Machines are the two rarest locations to begin the dream in.
The bridge of the Sun Faces Heave is made of a thin layer of fog with some guard rails, and is situated above a floor that also has a layer of fog over it. The rest of the location is an endless black void.
The bridge leads directly into the two faces mouths, which actually function as tunnels. The only way to link to another area in Sun Faces Heave is to walk into a tunnel or touch the railings on the bridge.
Appearance[]
There are two sun faces on either side of the bridge, which are similar in appearance to the sun seen in the ferris wheel cutscene. A single unlinkable object can be seen here: A spinning sun ray ring, which can be seen only during B-type Days, moving through the bridge and sometimes stopping near the sun face to spin around it. There are multiple sun ray rings possible to encounter, which will move in certain patterns back and forth, sometimes disappearing behind the sun faces into the darkness and eventually returning. The movement of sun ray rings is unique to every single dream generation of the game.
Due to how PlayStation 1 consoles handle rendering at a distance, the faces aren't visible until the player gets close enough.
Both faces have open rectangular mouths, parallel to the bridge. These mouths are actually tunnels, which the player can walk into. One of these tunnels leads into the train tunnel in Happy Town.
Reaction[]
The faces could be considered disturbing to some players, especially in downer or kanji textures, as it may give a slight jump-scare when a face suddenly pops in while the player is expecting to just see more of the bridge. This may also discourage the player to follow into the actual mouth itself. LSD: Dream Emulator contains several moments like these.
The unusual/disturbing look of the sun faces are comparable to the Giant Head or the Giant Baby Head, as these objects also suddenly appear in the same fashion as the sun faces.
Despite all of the aforementioned facts, Sun Faces Heave is considered to be one of the most "happy" or "cheerful" locations by the game's chart algorithm, as spending time in this area seems to give upper mood results very frequently.
Accessibility[]
Linking with the base of a Ferris Wheel in Happy Town, with the stairs that the Trumpeters stand on, with the Black Wolf, and landing on (-4, 8) and (-3, 8) in The Chart are some of the known ways of accessing this location. Sun Faces Heave may also be the rarest location to begin the dream in, as there are only two dedicated startup cells which on top of everything else are located on the drastically upper side of the Chart.
Trivia[]
- Machine translators will misread the kanji as "The sun faces the heave".
- The genuine english equivalent for this location's name remains unknown: other community-given names include: The Celestial Bridge, The Bridge of Sun Faces, Sun Faces Heaven.
- Sun Faces Heave, Long Hallway, Pit & Temple, The Natural World, Flesh Tunnels, Black Space, and Bright Moon Cottage are all areas that don't have a chance of the Gray Man appearing.
- The Sunface in Sexual Textures heavily resembles the character Nan-Shu from the game Chu-Teng which was made before LSD Dream Emulator. The only difference between the two are color differences.
