🌍️ Wikipedia:

Lisa, also known as Lisa: The Painful, is a post-apocalyptic role-playing video game developed and published by Dingaling Productions (now known as LoveBrad Games). The game was written, designed, and composed for by Austin Jorgensen, and was released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux on 15 December 2014.

In Lisa, the player controls Brad Armstrong, a middle-aged man with a drug addiction who must journey through the fictional wasteland of Olathe in search of his adoptive daughter, Buddy. Along the way he is forced to make choices that permanently affect both his own well-being and that of his party members.

The game received mostly positive reviews, with praise for its writing and soundtrack, but criticism for its unforgiving difficulty and pacing, and a lack of technical polish. Reviewers especially enjoyed the game's emotional story and use of dark humor.

Gameplay

Lisa features a combination of traditional turn-based RPG combat in a 2D side-scrolling overworld. Players control Brad (and his accompanying party) as he struggles to overcome his addiction, suffering from withdrawal that limits his effectiveness in battle. The overworld features an assortment of settlements with shops and bars, where recruitable party members can often be found.

In battle, Brad and some of his companions are able to use combination attacks using the "Armstrong Style" system, allowing the player to press a sequence of keys to use powerful attacks like fireballs. Other party members use a variety of techniques for both offense and defense, applying status effects such as poison or paralysis.

Plot

Years before the game's start, a mysterious event called the White Flash brought about the downfall of society in Olathe. This apocalyptic event caused the death of nearly every human female, leaving only one known living woman. Brad finds her as a baby and raises her in secret, naming her Buddy. However, she is eventually found and kidnapped, and Brad embarks on an adventure to rescue her. Throughout the game, flashback scenes depict a pre-apocalyptic Olathe, shedding light on Brad's early life, including his upbringing alongside his younger sister Lisa and their relationship with their abusive father, Marty.

Lisa est un RPG à défilement latéral excentrique situé dans un désert post-apocalyptique. Sous un aspect extérieur charmant et drôle, c'est un monde empreint de dégoût et de destruction morale. Les joueurs vont apprendre le genre de personne qu'ils sont, en étant forcé de faire des choix. Ces choix affectent en permanence le jeu. Si vous souhaitez sauver un membre de la partie d'une mort certaine, vous aurez à sacrifier la force de votre personnage. Qu'il s'agisse de prendre une raclée pour eux, ou de découper des membres, ou de quelque autre façon inhumaine, vous apprendrez que dans ce monde, être égoïste et sans cœur est le seul moyen de survivre ...
