It talks about the &#8216;Lydia Donation&#8217; DLC package which will actually serve as a way for players to donate their money to <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/lasinenlapsuus.fi\/en\/ajankohtaista\/lydia-game-will-be-released-nintendo-switch\">Fragile Childhood<\/a>, a non-profit organisation preventing harm caused by parental substance abuse. The DLC will cost $1 \/ 1\u20ac, with all net revenue going to Fragile Childhood. Players will receive an in-game colouring book for Lydia in return.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iP8vKWLvTpQ?rel=0&amp;hd=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;autohide=1&#038;w=900&#038;h=507]<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Lydia launches on the Switch eShop on 17th January.
