What players think
The recurring themes across 231 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Visuals: 7/10 Artistic surreal visuals, I really liked it.
Lydia sets the tone of this short awareness VN equally through its graphics & sound/voice effects as much as through its recounted story and is very effective at capturing the innocent childhood mystery of 'Monsters'.
Lydia is short; I completed it in just under 2 hours, including its one achievement which you get for finishing the game, it is pretty linear and as far as I can see has little to no replayability.

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
