About This Game

Life of Lynne

There is always someone calling from another room.

Mommy needs help in the kitchen. Michael has borrowed Lynne’s blocks again. The girls are waiting for their turn on hair day, and Daddy wants everyone to pick a bird before the pigeons race home.

For three-year-old Lynne, this is the whole world. It is 1963, money is tight, and there is rarely a quiet corner in the family house. As she grows, she learns that knowing someone well does not mean knowing everything they are carrying. And sometimes she sees things she has no ordinary way of knowing.

[b]Life of Lynne is an episodic visual novel about growing up in a large American family, with room exploration, hands-on activities, and choices that become part of the family’s history.[/b]

Episode One: Childhood

Begin with Lynne’s early years. Find your own way through familiar rooms, arguments over small things, visits to Aunt Evelyn’s farm, and afternoons that turn into family memories. When an unusual perception interrupts an ordinary day, decide what Lynne believes she saw, who she trusts with it, and what she does next.

Find something to do and someone to talk to

Walk between rooms in a cutaway view of the family home. Approach relatives and the things they are busy with. Free time gives Lynne chances to join in, follow her curiosity, or spend a little longer with someone who needs company.

Get your hands into family life

Help with cooking, take care on hair day, choose a racing pigeon, mend clothing with Gloria, and lend a hand on the farm. Activities bring their own challenges and conversations. If you need a slower pace, ask for help, retry, or finish the activity through a story choice.

Make choices that leave a trace

Decide what Lynne shares, what she keeps to herself, and how she responds to the people around her. A favorite bird, a recipe, or something said during an afternoon together can be remembered later. Revisit collected moments in the Memory Book, and get to know the cast through character profiles and family relationships.

Look closely before you decide

Lynne’s remote viewing offers fragments rather than neat answers. Pay attention to what she actually notices, question your interpretation, and choose what to tell others. Being certain and being right are not always the same thing.

Read at your own pace

Enjoy expressive illustrated characters, detailed period settings, separate save slots, reading history, and adjustable text and motion settings.

[b]This release contains Episode One: Childhood.[/b] Later episodes covering other stages of Lynne’s life are planned as DLC releases. They are not included in this purchase.
