About Lenin - The Lion
-- Developer's Note --
About the Portuguese (BR) version: the Portuguese language can be accessed by changing the menu language on the Steam App / a versão em português pode ser acessada alterando o idioma padrão da Steam e efetuando a atualização por download dos dados do jogo.
This game was individually developed by me, Lornyon. In the last few weeks I've solved all the bugs I found in the game and tried to fix as much writing problems as possible. But in any case, I ask for community collaboration and understanding if you still encounter such problems. In addition, I will be constantly looking to solve anything that might interrupt your enjoyment, and if you encounter any problems in the game, please let me know and I will fix it as soon as possible. Thanks.
Lenin is an albino lion, the only one of his kind, and because of that he feels insecure and constantly discouraged. Worse, his mother does not understand why his son was born this way, and the whole village despises him and treats him cruelly. At school, he suffers bullying and can’t concentrate on class.
Now, hopeless about life, certain situations seem to awaken in Lenin something that is not of everyone’s reality, but only of his. Something he will discover to be part of something else.
Besides, Lenin will find other animals species , which may help him to understand himself.
However, things are getting dangerous and Lenin needs to take care with his actions (your actions).
Traveling between daily life and a strange place, Lenin will have to face his inner fears and enemies – and often, the outer ones as well.
Lenin - The Lion is like a typical aerial-view RPGs of the SNES or Gameboy Color classics. The difference here is given by some criteria:
CONTROLS:
MOVE: ARROWS & W-A-S-D
MENU: RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON TO ENTER, MOVE THE MOUSE TO NAVIGATE
CONFIRM: Z / ENTER / MOUSE LEFT BUTTON
CANCEL: X / ESC
FAST FOWARD TEXT: PAGE DOWN (PG DN)
JOYSTICKS ARE ONLY PARTIALLY SUPPORTED. YOU HAVE TO USE THE MOUSE IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE MENU.
FOR FULLSCREEN PRESS F4
If you are experiencing any lag in-game:
- Go the website of your graphics card manufacture (NVIDIA, AMD, etc.) and download & install the latest driver for your graphics card.
Make sure that the driver supports OpenGL.

Lenin - The Lion is like a typical aerial-view RPGs of the SNES or Gameboy Color classics. The difference here is given by some criteria:
- There are no battles or levels: all actions taken by the player are through conversations with NPC's, puzzles and varied options.
- There is always more than one choice to proceed: yes, though many games work with "moral choices", in Lenin - The Lion choices don't change the character profile, but how is the unfolding of the main plot. With this in mind, don't expect multiple paths inside of the same part of the story. Your actions change the FUTURE scenes of the game, as well the endings of each area, unlocking new conversations with NPC's and different endings for the game as a whole.
- A teenager's world and his struggles.
- No battle systems or levels.
- Lenin’s backpack is his menu. Losing it means not having access to the menu.
- Items and puzzles are crucial in the interactions between Lenin and the others.
- Choices determine the different endings of the game.
- Original art / soundtrack.
- Anthropomorphized characters.
- A cute and unique main character ❤

I've just realized I never wrote a proper review for this! To summarize my thoughts about this game: It is, hands down, my favorite game that I've played thus far. The art style is adorable, the story is tragically amazing and encapsulates anxiety and depression amazingly well, and the music is top tier! Not to mention, it has replayability with its endings and secrets! Overall, I give it 10/10, and urge you to try it yourself if you're curious!2 found this helpful

[/quote] [b]Video Review[/b] https://youtu.be/28-GSRpurk8 [h2]A Story About Neglect[/h2] As someone who grew up being bullied for being different, I didn’t expect Lenin The Lion to hit me as hard as it did. All I wanted back then was to play games and enjoy the company of others, but instead I was shunned for my interests, my behavior, and simply being the outcast of society. This game mirrored a lot of those feelings in ways I didn’t anticipate. Lenin The Lion is a story-driven, choice-based adventure about a young boy weighed down by life at every turn. His father is absent. His mother doesn’t even see him as her own child. He’s bullied relentlessly, looked down on by everyone around him, and crushed under depression and anxious thoughts. Watching his struggles unfold was like a reflection of things I had lived through myself. Every choice you make shapes Lenin’s future, how conversations unfold, how people treat him, and ultimately which of the three …1 found this helpful
The ending was a bit anti-climactic and sudden. You can finish the story in 2-3 hours I never unlocked 7th or 8th ending In general the controls feel unresponsive, there's long delay between each animation, even keypress -> walking. Performance at 4k on linux is rather poor. The scrolling is jittery 20-35fps even on good hardware The story idea is good, but feels a bit shallow. The quests/minigames felt a bit mediocre. Though, the art is lovely Game design is hard and maybe the modern expectations are way higher what they were 10-20 years ago. I've had similar criticism on games that go art first. It's an alright game, but nothing to write home about.
Greatest game of all time, would highly recommend :3c
Draining in soul, lay this now cause he just updated this masterpiece
This game is an absolute must-play! The immersive world design, engaging story, and incredibly polished gameplay mechanics kept me hooked for hours. The story is incredibly satisfying, and the character progression feels perfectly balanced.
