    Deeply touching game. Hit's really close to home. Tears were running down my cheek when the end credits rolled.

    Lydia is a roughly 1 hour long game. Language is simple and very clear. The hand drawn style somehow clashes with its incredibly deep and dark story. If on discount, definitely worth your purchase. The ending, but the whole story overall to be honest, gives food for your thoughts. Highly recommended.

    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.

    Lydia is an interactive story telling point and click, the story of a young girl surrounded by substance abuse. The game is short, and from that, the scenes of the narrative can blur and become confusing in which message it is trying to convey. Visually pleasing, and delivers a good atmospheric dark tone, but difficult to recommend for ‘fun’. However, this is an important game in the awareness of substance abuse.

    Lydia is a tough game to recommend to everyone because, as a video game, it is too short and has only a minimal amount of gameplay. However, if you're looking for a thought-provoking experience that will stay with you even after you have finished the game, I can confidently say that Lydia is a very strong candidate for you.
