Serenity Forge has brought the emotional intensity of The Lisa Trilogy to Android with the release of two new games this week: Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful. If you're familiar with these titles from their PC versions, you're well aware of the gripping journey they offer. For newcomers, prepare for an unforgettable experience.
It’s Painful and Joyful at the Same Time
For those who haven't yet explored The Lisa Trilogy, let's dive into what these games are about. The saga began with Lisa: The First in 2012, a retro-style exploration game that plunges you into Lisa Armstrong's troubled mind. You navigate a distorted reality, piecing together fragmented memories through encounters with bizarre characters and VHS tapes that capture glimpses of the past. It's a surreal journey that quietly challenges your perception.
The series continued with Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful, released on PC in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Now, these games have arrived on Android in their Definitive Editions, following their updated PC releases in July 2023. Get a sneak peek at what awaits you:
You Can Play The Lisa Trilogy on Android
In Lisa: The Painful, you step into the shoes of Brad Armstrong, traversing the desolate wasteland of Olathe in search of his adopted daughter, Buddy. This game is a blend of brutality, misery, and humor, where the choices you make leave a lasting impact. You might lose limbs, sacrifice your party members, or take hits for others—each decision shapes your journey.
Lisa: The Joyful concludes the trilogy with you playing as Buddy in a world darkened further by the White Flash, an event that left the world devoid of women except for her. As Buddy, you fight for survival and seek vengeance, all while keeping your identity hidden. The game presents a darker, more intense side of Olathe, with numerous agonizing choices that redefine your path.
The Definitive Editions of these games come packed with enhanced features, including updated battle systems, six new Warlord skills, new border art, a music player, and a painless mode for those who wish to experience the story without the usual difficulty.
If you're ready for a game that's grim, wild, and beautifully crafted, dive into Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful of The Lisa Trilogy, now available on Android.
