The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
Playing Lydia feels like exploring a child's heavy memories through stark gray-scale art and a quiet, somber soundtrack.

What players say
A short, emotional point and click game about a child in a home with alcohol abuse. Players say the simple gameplay and dark art serve a heavy story, though some find the pacing uneven and the ending unsatisfying.
