    Lydia brings us a theme that is definitely worth exploring in a medium like gaming but it could have been approached in a much better way. The writing needs a lot of work and despite its very on touch visual environment, the gameplay experience is very subpar and there's little interactivity to be found here.

    There are a few moments where the story is more subtle and poetic (chapter 1), but the game quickly abandons all pretense to become a generic story on the affects of substance abuse. I can tell there was some passion put into this, but ultimately it’s not worth the buy.
