To say that Shawn McGrath’s Dyad is intense is an understatement. The game may technically count as a mind-altering drug, and believe me, that’s a good thing.
In my video review, above, I break down not only the experience of playing Dyad but also where it’s roots lay and why it goes above and beyond them.
Try not to turn into a Star Child watching it.
