Leaving Lyndow is a short, first-person exploration adventure game, set in the Eastshade universe. It's Clara's last day on the island where she grew up. With high honors, she's graduated and fulfilled her childhood dream of joining the Guild of Maritime Exploration. She needs to complete preparations, visit her favorite places, and say her goodbyes before leaving on a journey she may not return from. *dangerous journey not included*
If you're a fan of walking simulators, then Leaving Lyndow is a short game in which you'll experience a bittersweet moment in Clara's life. It can be completed in less than two hours at most, so do keep that in mind if you're considering getting it.
Leaving Lyndow is a good first effort from the team at Eastshade Studios. I had fun with this short adventure, and I look forward to seeing what they do with their next project thanks to everything they've learned with the development of Leaving Lyndow. If you're a fan of walking simulators and are looking for a short but solid one to play, this one...
To me it really does seem like a paid demo and I think you can find better things to play for 30 minutes of your time than this.
Less a game and more of a teaser, Leaving Lyndow ends up making a terrible impression
Leaving Lyndow has some promising aspects, but overall it's a frustrating experience. The puzzle sections are poorly thought out and mostly implemented to impede the player's progress and extend the running time for a little while longer, while the technical hiccups shatter your story immersion.
