BeefJack: "Lylian Episode 1 is definitely rough around the edges and rather short, but it's still a creepy, bittersweet love letter to old-school gaming that deserves to be supported."
Leslie Paul Writes: Some time into her stay, she mysteriously finds her restraints loose and door unlocked. Free to explore the bleak and darkened corridors of the institute in search of donuts and a kidnapped Bob, the child encounters many bizarre phenomena. Crazed nurses wander the halls, determined to kick the girl into submission, while donut-stuffed fatties try their best to crush her beneath their obese weight.
How can I put this? Lylian is a very special little girl, why? Well, she's what you would call somewhat slightly, mental – which is probably the best word to describe her. Her parents thought so as well, so one day, within twenty minutes, they had her bags packed and bundled her into the car to be taken to Hacklaster hospital, which as you can gather, is a rather specialist hospital. Mentally unsound I believe the political term is. Lylian isn't alone though, she has Bob, her teddy, who she made from bits of other children's toys. She also has her brain. Sometimes ideas get out of her brain and appear, they won't stay in there. And she has you. Lylian Episode 1: Paranoid Friendship from Pixelpickle Games is a wonderfully odd 2D side scroller action game.
GDN - Let me get this out of the way right now, Lylian is short; extremely short. It’s so short that it can be beaten in one sitting. By a casual gamer. Let me also get this out of the way, Lylian is a game with a very intriguing story to tell, a story that, if you are absorbed into the game’s storytelling, will leave you eagerly anticipating it’s sequel.
