Lisa [RPG Maker]

I playthrough the RPG Maker game, "Lisa". rpgmaker.net/games/4412/
All 3 VHS tapes acquired.
Here's my analysis and review of the game:
zerowiseman.tumblr.com/post/3...
Forgive me for getting lost in the white world, I wanted to show all the areas and that area loops.
Made sure to try and show all the areas/text in the game. (didn't manage to get to Rick before using/getting the plastic bag, though.)
Also if the quality is low, sorry. I used livestream's procaster to record this.

[@whatsthatsupposedtomean3104]

It's really weird to think that this was the 1st game in an order of post apocalyptic dark and humorous games

[@lomi4865]

it's like how postal 1 is so dark and gloomy, while postal 2 is humorous

[@helloturkey1143]

The Joyful is not humorous, it's very grimdark

[@Antiformed]

This is how you confront taboo subjects. It's uncomfortable, in many ways frightening. It doesn't shout its message in a headline, it's just a deep sadness you can feel in everything you see. (I got past the spiders and beat the game, it's fucked up, very thought provoking)

[@Bellitchi]

have you played Lisa the Painful

[@Antiformed]

DrTheKay Not a virgin but not interested in breeding either. Thanks for listing all those better examples of confronting disturbing material though, wow, such evidence.

[@ZeroWiseman]

I can't stand that either. You try to get immersed into the gameplay and some idiot is screaming and laughing about everything and shit talks everything about it. This game was really important to me so I decided I'd just play it myself and make a no commentary video.

[@aro_spectre]

well, sometimes you might not be able to play it for some reason (for example, Terraria WON'T. JUST. RUN. on my laptop (and yes, I do own the needed version of .NET Framework. the problem is still not resolved), and I can't run some games because they are too beautiful for my laptop to handle)

I know that the comment is like 3 years old now,but: If you were struggling at the end with the ladder and the spiders were literally on the ladder (first spiders encounter) you could've just entered your inventory and then exited. The spiders would relocate themselves to their start.

[@Densester]

i remember seeing this, then years later i found out about LISA the painfull remembering nothing about this one. Far different, especially the tone.

[@enteringsdbm]

I agree that the spider part was very hard, but when I played through that parts I actually felt like every time spider hits me I feel as main heroine violated (since I play on headphones and volume of SFX for hit was quite unpleasant) and maybe difficulty was set too high as whole symbolism of entire point of game? However that was the reason I could not just simply quit the game due to this part and have to finish it, if I would quit I felt like I would lose all hope there was... Anyway this entire game is one of the most emotional experience I had with any of game I ever played. Games which you are not just simply playing but leaves you with deep emotions are IMO best.

[@hellodarkness-sanmyoldtomo147]

I think it's not a hospital gown--her sprite in Lisa the Painful/Joyful makes it seem more like a white poncho. However, Dingaling has said there's too much fan theory about Lisa being pregnant to stop it. So think what you will.

[@marianne4762]

When you have suffered abuse, you get sickness each time you remember the traumatic event... that's why she trow up, not for being pregnant.

[@nemovaldimarsdottir2576]

The spider level is *impossible*. :/ I don't think I'll get past it in a _thousand years_. I tried following every single move in the video, I tried being more hesitant, I tried being quicker, I tried settling for something in between.

Pretty similar in the way they have trippy backgrounds and music, and weird sounds play when you interact with things and the home screen with different doors etc, they play a lot differently but yeah I can see the similarities.

It's a journey through the mind of Lisa, a Journey which ends rather thoroughly unhappily. (First the realization that she cannot escape her father who also happens to have been doing a rather unforgivable thing (gotta watch comments else the bot will strike it down), then the realization that even past memories are forever tainted, that she will never be free in life...note the wording after the final VHS Tape: Game Over)

if you're referencing anything about what Lisa made Buzzo do or the relationship they had I don't think that makes her a bad person. She only did the stuff with the animals so that Buzzo would eventually cut her and make her unattractive to her father and thus stop the sexual abuse.

[@VarthRock]

In other words, she manipulated Buzzo, as he mutilated a cat and cut her face only because he was in love (This is in fact the event that led to Buzzo becoming the depraved, vindictive monster that he appears as in The Painful.). Poor Buzzo, he never wanted to hurt her in the first place.
