I'm just happy I can't fully empathize. It's a sad story, and as real as the monster everyone has.

Unsubtle but it hurts, some heartaching moments. Perhaps it's not unsubtle but just, real, to those who've been through it more.

Lydia offers a narrative short story with interesting modern themes revolving around broken families and their impact on self-destructive behaviour and its consequences for both sides - as well as for parents and the children involved. Whilst I really appreciate the story-based game structure, as well as the musical score and style chosen for the narrative, the attention to detail in the gameplay is lacking. It's more of a visual novel that you run through quickly (approx. 60 mins). There is little to no opportunity for interaction with objects, rooms or NPCs, which for me is an immensely wasted opportunity to make the game even more intense, as no deep connection to the characters can be created (at least not if you haven't been in a similar life situation). Nevertheless, I think that despite its shortcomings, Lydia is a title that is worth checking out. So people, make up your own minds about it. :)
