Serenity Forge has delighted fans by releasing two new additions to the Android gaming library this week: Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful, part of The Lisa Trilogy. If you're familiar with these titles from their PC versions, you're already aware of the intense emotional journey they offer.
It's Painful and Joyful at the Same Time
If you're new to the series or haven't yet explored these titles, allow me to introduce you. The Lisa Trilogy began with Lisa: The First, released in 2012 on PC. This retro-style game plunges you into the psyche of Lisa Armstrong as you navigate a distorted reality shaped by trauma. The game challenges you to piece together fragmented memories, encounter bizarre characters, and delve into VHS tapes that unravel the past, creating a surreal and psychologically engaging experience.
The sequels, Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful, hit the PC market in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Now, with their Definitive Editions released in July 2023 on PC, these captivating titles have made their way to Android, offering an updated experience to mobile gamers.
You Can Play The Lisa Trilogy on Android
In Lisa: The Painful, you embody Brad Armstrong, a man navigating the desolate wasteland of Olathe in search of his adopted daughter, Buddy. The game blends brutality with dark humor, where your decisions leave lasting impacts. You might lose limbs, sacrifice your companions, or take hits for others, making every choice profoundly significant.
Lisa: The Joyful concludes the trilogy, with you playing as Buddy in a world made even more bleak by the catastrophic White Flash, which left only men alive, except for her. As Buddy, you must survive, seek vengeance, and maintain your anonymity in a darker Olathe. The game continues to challenge you with tough choices that can dramatically alter your journey.
The Definitive Editions enhance the experience with updated battle systems, six new Warlord skills, new border art, a music player, and a painless mode, making these games more accessible and enjoyable.
If you're ready to dive into a game that's both grim and compelling, with a narrative that's as well-crafted as it is unsettling, then Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful from The Lisa Trilogy on Android are waiting for you.
