Serenity Forge has released two captivating new games this week for Android enthusiasts: *Lisa: The Painful* and *Lisa: The Joyful*, both part of The Lisa Trilogy. If you've experienced these games on PC, you're well aware of the intense emotional journey they offer. For newcomers, buckle up for a wild ride.
It's Painful and Joyful at the Same Time
If you're new to the series or need a refresher, let's dive in. The Lisa Trilogy began with *Lisa: The First* in 2012, a retro-style exploration game where you navigate the fragmented mind of Lisa Armstrong. You'll find yourself trying to escape a distorted reality, piecing together memories and deciphering strange characters and VHS tapes. It's a surreal experience that subtly plays with your perception.
The sequels, *Lisa: The Painful* and *Lisa: The Joyful*, followed in 2014 and 2015, respectively, and have now been released on Android in their Definitive Editions, following updates on PC in July 2023. Get a sneak peek of what these games offer 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 is a mix of brutality, misery, and dark humor, where your choices have lasting impacts. You might lose limbs, sacrifice your party members, and endure hits for others, creating a deeply personal experience.
*Lisa: The Joyful* concludes the series, with you playing as Buddy in a darker version of Olathe, post the catastrophic White Flash event, which left the world without women except for her. As Buddy, you'll fight for survival and seek vengeance while maintaining a hidden identity. The game continues to challenge you with tough choices that significantly affect your journey.
The Definitive Editions of these games come with enhanced battle systems, six new Warlord skills, updated border art, a music player, and a 'painless' mode for those who want a less punishing experience.
