It's the name of the band.

 From his site at <http://www.alidagame.com/aboutAlida.html#overview>:

What is Alida about?

Alida is a point and click interactive graphical adventure game. The 
story centres around four young men in the band Alida that attained 
phenomenal success with their first CD release. Loads of money coupled 
with wild imagination resulted in construction of "Alida" - the theme park.

It's an unusual place - a giant guitar 330 metres long!

But these guys didn't stop there - the guitar can actually be played
(assisted by machinery);
the internal workings of the guitar can be accessed and manipulated
(machine heads, switch, pots etc..)

As Alida was nearing completion things got complicated, their popularity 
was waning and money stopped coming in. Distrust set in. Each of the 
band members claimed different areas of Alida for themselves where they 
devised weird and elaborate systems to protect their wealth. They 
retracted from each other finally leaving Alida uninhabited.
Fifteen years later one of the guys is missing on Alida...

Five years in the making, the Alida world will captivate you with 
meticulous graphics, unique locations, intriguing puzzles, bizarre 
transportation machines, ornate objects, electronic imagery, tactile 
contraptions, massive constructions, animated natural elements and 
original music score.
