About Lydia
Lydia is a short visual novel about a little girl facing the effects of adult substance abuse. The story draws on the developers’ own experiences and follows Lydia through her imagination as she tries to understand the frightening events around her. It takes about 1.5 hours to play.
Lydia and Teddy
Lydia is a young girl who loves her teddy bear, Teddy, and has always taken him with her. She has never gone on an adventure or searched for crickets at the nearby playground without him. Recently, they have struggled to sleep because of loud noises downstairs, where the adults have their own troubles.
Lydia also believes a monster is hiding in the shadows. The adults say it is imaginary, and Teddy insists it is not real and that everything will be all right. He watches over Lydia and tries to keep the monster away so she can sleep, but tonight the sounds are louder than usual.
Visuals and music
The game uses hand-drawn grayscale graphics with touches of color, alongside a dark, ambient original soundtrack. The score is composed by film composer Juhana Lehtiniemi.
