Where to start...it wouldn't be accurate to say that Lydia is a visual novel. Even though it is mostly about the story and reading, there are minor actions and movements in between. It's as if you're playing out the scenes that tell a sad and relatable story. There isn't too much text, it's well paced that it doesn't feel tiring to read. I wasn't sure about the game at the beginning but things kept building up, the last 2 chapters were the highlight. The art style is dark and striking, I can tell it's made by the same developer behind Voltage High Society. The different sounds are also strong. The dialogues in English are well written. When it comes to cons, the first one is obvious. The game doesn't start due to the game's age. Luckily, there is an easy guide to follow on steam forum. It took minutes to fix it. Secondly, there is no controller support. Steam's templates don't seem to work either. The buttons are minimal, it would have been the ideal game with a controller but I did it with the mouse mostly. I like the game, it might not set the world on fire but its story is raw and emotional. We need more such personal stories in games. I definitely recommend it if you're looking to spend an hour on a mature and realistic story. The price of less than 3 euros is appropriate and it's nice that it can be gotten for less than 1.5 euros with the current sale. There is only one achievement that requires you to complete the game and watch the credits until the end.
Short, artsy story game, about the looming monster that alcoholism can become to the children of the alcoholic's family. At first I was a little bit torn whether to call this good or meh, but after a consideration, I'm tilting toward good. The reason is that the initial blast is not exactly subtle. It's a very heavy game about very real social issues and doesn't pull punches on that front, so much so that after initial impressions I was wondering if the game already revealed its hand. But luckily not - despite the unsubtle start, the story does have its high points, particularly towards the end! I think the writing and imagery is more memorable than what the beginning would let you believe. The game is very short, but I don't really hold it that much against it, the sub-5€ price feels right. Overall, pretty nice! ...as nice as games with this heavy subject matter can be, at least.
