The Lady
About
“The Lady” is an emotional 2D Surreal Puzzle Horror adventure.
The Lady is a surrealist emotional journey that takes The Lady through a series of fever dream hallucinations, while being at odds with inner struggles of anxiety and depression. She encounters multiple versions of herself throughout the game, unsure of which versions to trust. From the initial confusion, to all out anxiety that one would experience with panic disorder, it's all there for you to explore first hand through the eyes of The Lady.
The Gameplay Mechanics are inspired by classic SNES and Turbo Grafx16 type games. The gameplay difficulty is brutal, just like life itself.
The game is displayed in a “waist up” cinematic style, for a more personal experience. Gameplay features side-scrolling exploration, puzzle solving, retro arcade-style boss battles, and plays in letterbox full screen HD.Features

The Lady reviews and comments

A Game that does not act as a "fun" Game The Game called "The Lady." The Lady or The Woman) came out for the PC on Steam in 2015.
"The Lady" is more associated with the 2D horror puzzle adventure genre.
The whole thing was Developed by MPR ART Hallucinations & Roger Levy.
But what exactly is behind this indie game that looks so grotesque, striking and strange?!
now... To be honest, everyone can interpret for themselves what "The Lady" is really about.
But already at first Glance you can see that the Game, by its hand-drawn, strange Representation, is striking!
According to the English Steam description, one should gain an Insight into the sick Psyche of Man through the Eyes of a mentally ill, female Person.
When You play, you immediately realize that the Game, without a Narrator, without any Dialogue or Monologues, becomes an experimental Journey that could be uncomfortable ...
Because joyful Situations or Pictures, you look here in vain.
Understandable though, considering that the Theme of the Game is more likely to be used in the negative Aspects of Life.
According to my Perception, the Game deals mainly with Issues such as Inferiority Complexes, Self-mutilation, Depression and Suicide.
That is why I am self-understandably aware that not EVERY human would like to deal with such profound and complex Issues of the human Psyche.
It's not really a "Game" as we would define it, because "Fun" doesn't really make it, but much more it's a creative and artistic, crafted Perspective.
This Game really leaves an Impression during, and above all TO, the Game!
It is also interesting to know that in order to get on, you have to figure it all out for yourself.
Even the Music sounds disturbing and frightening, and is thus consistent with what you are seeing!
In summary, I like to "play" this Game!
For me personally, I found it extremely interesting to be able to see such Pictures.
I was able to take a lot of Impressions for myself.
The Game has made me think very hard, because you can interpret everything freely.
And as fast as I can, and I won't be able to forget this Game either!
As I've also said before, this Game probably doesn't appeal to the mainstream gamer target audience.
I recommend This Game only to People who are willing to devote their Time with something abstract, profound and Infestation of a sick, human Psyche.
This Game offers plenty of Space and Space for Self-interpreting.
So my Conclusion: Just be open to New things, and dare to try a little more.
Be keen to experiment!
Above all, you have only two Things to lose in this Game: Just a little of your Time, and a very low amount Of Money! (o ^ ^ o)
