'''''Alida''''' is a 2004 adventure game developed by [[Dejavu Worlds]] and published by [[Got Game Entertainment]]. The game was wholly created by Cos Russo.
== Plot ==
In-universe, Alida is a guitar-shaped island off the coast of Australia, built by the members of a band from the money made from their successful first album. They never released a second album and were forgotten by their fans. The band split, they each locked their fortunes in separate parts of the island and left. Arin, one of the previous members, goes to the island to attend a supposed reunion but never returns home. His wife Julia asks the player to head to island to locate her husband, and this is where the game begins.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
== Gameplay ==
Spanning 5 CDs, the Myst-like game sees the player navigate through a series of screens, interacting with puzzles to progress to new locations. The puzzles lean toward musical themes and vary in difficulty.
An interview with the creator is a bonus feature of the game.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
