Lisa is Painful

Lisa the Painful chronicles the story of a man named Brad, who is coming to terms with the troubles of his past. The story starts in a normal setting but skips ahead many years after the first scene.
The world has been subject to an event known as The Flash, a great wall of light that enveloped the world many years ago and left a strong mark on the countryside. Not only destroying lots of plant life and architecture, but completely removing all women from the world.

Lisa's a masterclass in character writing and when to be funny and when to be grim also knows how to actually make the RPG Battle mechanics interwoven into the story/gameplay. Definitely a landmark game that should be studied by future game devs.

[@I0kcguitarassasin]

I think the reason why Lisa works so well in switching between comedy and tragedy is that the entire world is both funny and tragic in many ways. For example, the reason the characters look so ugly and goofy is because the world of Olathe is so unwelcoming that basically nobody has a chance to care about their looks, and if they do, chances are they've lost their minds to boredom or loneliness; this is both funny and tragic at the same time, and you can make a funny gag from this as easily as you can make a very sad one where one of the characters spews his worst feelings out bare. One of the reasons Lisa is my favorite game is that a lot of the resources it utilizes arent of high quality, if Im not mistake a good chunk of the games soundtrack was made with the trial version of Fruity Loops, and yet it elevates all of them by being designed in a very intelligent way.

[@juanrodriguez9971]

It really did hurt to damage Ricky like that the first time, and I love that, having to do things not because I want but because the protagonist wants, is a feeling so rare to have in a game but is a feeling so awesome, specially in a genre where almost every single protagonist is meant to be a self insert for the player.

[@bossdoor]

[@SwaggyG_2102]

As someone who'd choose Lisa the Painful over Undertale any given day of the week, it makes me so happy to see LtP and LtJ finally get a definitive release today. It was such an amazing game that got overshadowed by Undertale during the mid-2010s. _I still have memories of that GTLive video that MatPat did on the game a couple of years back._

[@dungbass3345]

did you get fooled by FrugVEVO's rendition of a GTLive thumbnail by chance (seen on his Lisa the Painful DE Streams)

[@manologamerss5801]

​@@dungbass3345I saw his real thumbnail, AND watched the actual live. Still same opinion.

[@ineedzemedic5810]

Eh. You cant really blame Undertale for Lisa's humble start. FNAF was also a big thing at the time alongside many other games and it wasn't hugely covered by a lot of people during its early life span. Fans get older and discover these old games and they begin to kick up and get the recognition they deserve. Some things just take time I suppose. Ive grown to appreciate LtP for the work that it is. You can't just watch Ltp you have to experience the game.

[@Biker_Gaming]

You really hate on undertale because it overshadowed the game ☠️☠️ Like they are both good dawg

[@evilminionnumber2]

I think Undertale is a lot more accessible of a game, so it makes sense it gets more love. Undertale can get dark at times, but not quite on the same level as Lisa. This game bites. And it's awesome, but not everyone wants to play a game that is designed to hurt.

[@notacatjustahuman]

I feel like Lisa The Painful is the anti undertale of RPGs. In Undertale, you're given choices to be a good person. *You* are the one calling the shots, and can create a peaceful ending for your characters. Lisa The Painful is never about you creating peace for Brad. This is Brad's downfall and you're only a spectator in this dystopia. You don't have choices. You fucked up the moment you hit "New Game".

[@legalza0843]

Personally I think Brads right, giving buddy off to a gang who might not have the best intentions before she’s even old enough to make such a decision is pretty bad. It wouldn’t be so bad had they let her stay until she was older, it’s not like brads gonna raise her forever. But anyway, I really enjoyed the video, I didn’t expect some of these jokes lmao

[@polocatfan]

he's wrong in hindsight, considering Rando absolutely would have taken good care of her. but considering he didn't know Rando at all, the state of Olathe, and his trauma I totally don't blame him. though upon learning Rando was a super good guy, and buddy even specifically asking to go with them he's not entirely in the right. though he was basically manipulated by both Buzzo and his own trauma to the point that he has agency problems so I can't call him evil.

[@legalza0843]

@@polocatfan I think it’s implied that “saving the world” would pretty much start as soon as possible, aka not once she’s of age to be able to make such a decision. To brad, buddy absolutely was influenced into thinking this was a good idea when she can’t even grasp the true reality of it. A nice compromise would be letting Brad continue to raise buddy but under the protection of randos army, in which brad has the support of them, but they won’t force buddy to undergo that treatment unless she’s okay with it when she’s older. Instead she was practically stolen, convinced into it, and the army wouldn’t even let him near her. Plus even though rando is a good guy, the ones actually performing the deed might not have the best intentions, suffice to say. Also, from brads point of view, he doesn’t realize it’s dusty. Even though at the surface level rando seems like a good guy, you don’t just give the child you’ve been raising all her life to a “nice person” you barely know. Especially when you know that good or not, his intentions are to have people do that stuff to her.

[@sptflcrw8583]

Brad absolutely knew Rando was Dustin. He just didn't care.

[@Chin00k0]

As someone who got into Lisa through the fan games, the definitive edition hyped me up so much, especially seeing how it touches on the one RPGMaker game that started it all as well. Good video, would love to see your takes on Lisa the Pointless (if it EVER finishes), Timeless, Wise and some of the other fan games out there. Especially Rebound, if you're looking for something similar gameplay wise in a totally original setting and artstyle

Omori and Lisa are sister games. Lisa is the older, edgier, and more cynical one. This has all of the drawbacks you'd imagine, but also all of the pros. Like having a funnier sense of humor, and better combat. I think I lost my analogy somewhere along the way but whatever I think you get what I mean.

[@ripleyandweeds1288]

One thing I like about this game is that while Brad is a bad person, the game makes it you see that the rest of the world is arguably worse, and wonder if it even _deserves_ a second chance. Humanity already does horrible things to women when its _not_ a barren wasteland, you'd have to be a fool to think that the men of Olathe would just wait until Buddy is a consenting adult before they go ahead with their 'repopulation' plan, given how much they've degenerated in the years. With how horrible things have gotten, it'd be impossible for Buddy to live a normal life if everybody just knew she was a girl; but living with somebody like Brad, who has many issues he's been saddled with, isn't better. Its a damned if you do damned if you don't situation, there's no easy way out no matter how you slice it, and it's one of the few games that does that kind of storytelling right.

Nice video, and good taste in games too. Word of advice tho, maybe pace the way you talk differently. The rhythm of the script is so consistent that it never stops, and it doesn’t help that you read the script almost in the exact same tone the entire way through, so it can start getting monotonous after a while. Add some more pauses here and there, change your tone as you talk more often, and you’ll be goated with the sauce.
