Lucid Blocks
2026 Surreal survival sandbox indie game
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lucid Blocks is a surrealistic and psychedelic sandbox survival video game developed and published by Eric Alfaro, using the pseudonym Lucy B. Locks.[1] The game has been highlighted for its surrealistic, lucid dream-like aesthetic, mixed with gameplay resembling Minecraft.[2] It was released on March 13, 2026 on Steam.
Gameplay
The player explores ethereal and liminal procedurally generated 3D voxel environments, collecting resources, fighting monsters and taming creatures.[3] A major mechanic is "apotheosis", a crafting system which allows the player to combine materials in a certain order to get a new item or tool.[4][5] Alfaro describes the gameplay as "an entirely new way to experience your subconscious".[6]
Development
The game originally started as a test project for Godot, but evolved into its own unique idea.[7] Many sprites are derived from photos of junk around Alfaro's house and items from a dollar store.[6]
