It’s Painful and Joyful at the Same Time
New to The Lisa Trilogy or curious about what it's all about? Let's dive in. The series began with Lisa: The First in 2012 on PC, a retro-style game that plunges players into the mind of Lisa Armstrong. You navigate a distorted reality, piecing together fragmented memories, encountering bizarre characters, and sifting through old VHS tapes. It's an experience that's both surreal and profoundly unsettling.
Following the initial release, Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful hit PC in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Now, these sequels have arrived on Android as Definitive Editions, building on the updated PC versions released in July 2023. Curious to see what these games are like? Take a look at the launch trailer below.
You Can Play The Lisa Trilogy on Android
In Lisa: The Painful, you step into the role 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 consequences. You might lose limbs, sacrifice 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 darker Olathe, altered by the catastrophic White Flash, which left the world populated only by men, except for her. As Buddy, you strive to survive, seek revenge, and conceal your identity. The narrative continues to unfold through tough choices that dramatically impact your playthrough.
The Definitive Editions of these games come packed with enhancements including an updated battle system, six new Warlord skills, new border art, a music player, and a 'painless' mode for a different gameplay experience.
If you're ready to immerse yourself in a game that's both grim and brilliantly crafted, don't miss out on Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful of The Lisa Trilogy on Android.
