Scan of the VCD's cover.

Status: Lost


Esoteric Retina is one of the many lost productions of Japanese artist Osamu Sato, known for creating surrealistic games such as LSD: Dream Emulator.

This one is a video CD published by Sony Music Entertainment. The VCD was supposedly released sometime in 1994 according to Japanese website Illuminat.

The VCD has since become extremely rare and has not surfaced online. Aside from the fact that it contained several music videos by Osamu, almost nothing is known about the contents of the disc, and the only evidence to its existence is a mention of it on the official Outside Directors Company website and a small, low quality scan of the cover that looks to have been found in a catalog as well as its price at the time (which would be around $45 in 2016, not adjusting for inflation).
