Serenity Forge has just released two compelling additions to the Android gaming scene with the launch of 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 in for another emotional journey.
It’s Painful and Joyful at the Same Time
For those new to the series or curious about what it offers, let's dive in. The Lisa Trilogy began with Lisa: The First in 2012, a retro-style game that immerses you in the mind of Lisa Armstrong. You navigate a distorted reality shaped by trauma, piecing together fragmented memories, encountering bizarre characters, and exploring VHS tapes that reveal glimpses of the past. It's a surreal experience that subtly plays with your perceptions.
The sequels, Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful, were released on PC in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Now, these games have made their way to Android in their Definitive Editions, following the updated PC releases from July 2023. Get a sneak peek of what's in store with the launch trailer below.
You Can Play The Lisa Trilogy on Android
In Lisa: The Painful, you step into the shoes of Brad Armstrong, navigating the desolate wasteland of Olathe in search of his adopted daughter, Buddy. The game blends brutal realism with dark humor, where your choices have lasting impacts. You might lose limbs, sacrifice your party, or take hits for others, making every decision weigh heavily on your journey.
Lisa: The Joyful, the trilogy's final chapter, shifts the focus to Buddy. Set in an even darker version of Olathe after the catastrophic White Flash, which left the world devoid of women except for her, Buddy struggles to survive and seek vengeance while concealing her identity. The game presents a bleak world where your choices continue to shape a harrowing experience.
The Definitive Editions of these games come packed with enhancements, including updated battle systems, six new Warlord skills, new border art, a music player, and a 'painless' mode for a less punishing experience.
If you're ready to embark on a gaming experience that's both grim and captivating, with a narrative that's deeply engaging, don't miss out on Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful of The Lisa Trilogy, now available on Android.
