Where do I Even Begin?

Let's talk about Lenin - The Lion, so far the demo seems to be the only release and this is one of those games that will make you continuously look forward to, and here's why. Lenin tackles one of the hardest issues to come face to face, depression and anxiety. This game managest to tackle both with not only visual and dialogue aspects, though it also hits hard with the emotional side of things. As someone who deals with these issues on a regular basis, it's very easy to connect with, but it takes on what it feels like an projects it into a harsh state of reality. It might not seem like a huge deal to those who don't know what it's like, though for those of us that do know, it has not been projected in any better way.

The combination of visuals, audio, and situations created are almost a perfect representation of what people with depression and anxiety go through regularly. With that being said, let's delve into this a little more. The graphics are absolutely stunning and rather beautiful being able to keep up the feeling of the game with the current mood and set of occurring events. Now combine that with the music that happens throughout, it's really a pleasant thing to behold. The entirety of the game itself as it currently stands is just absolutely stunning. I'm the type of reviewer that does not wish to spoil anything for fear of ruining something for someone else, though so far everything about this demo, I absolutely love. The conflicts are real situations, the characters are engaging and are relative, though the best part is you can tell that everything has been thought through from the over all design, to the plugins and so forth. Over all it's a great start and I love watching this game grow as being a dev and a reviewer. I can't wait for the full release.
