If you're the type who equates hours of gameplay to getting the most out of your buck then this game might not be for you, with its very short 1 hour or less playtime, Lydia is a very short gameplay experience.

But if you don't mind the short playtime of this visual novel game, then it would definitely give your brain that nudge on the bleakness of problematic familes and how it affects the children in real life.

I especially like the tim burtinesque art style which highlights the creep factor of the story. Through the eyes of a child, there is a blur between monsters in the closet and monsters (adult) in real life.

The only little bummer i had while playing was the "peep pop peep pop" dubbing language from the main character. It sounds silly for me and it takes me out a bit from the immersion. But aside from that, i liked the game as it is.

If it would have been longer, and there had been more monster-like worlds from the closet, i wouldve given it a much higher score.
