Black Lily's Tale

Black Lily's Tale is a yuri coming-of-age adventure about Hana Sasamori, a quiet third-year student at Naeshiro Private High School in Sapporo. Eighteen years after the CLII virus was contained, having killed more than half of the population's minors, society has returned to normal, but the outbreak left its mark. Just before graduation, Hana finds herself reliving the same day, and recognizes that she is in love with Itsuki, who helped her in the past. Hana wants Itsuki to be happy, but believes Itsuki may not want her to hold on to those feelings. The story follows the two girls through love, sorrow and a curse.

A story of love and conflict

The story explores the struggles of a girl falling in love with another girl in a world where girls are afraid to say they like each other. It also includes a pure, adolescent love triangle with a boy, who has no intention or malice toward the relationship between the two girls. The narrative examines the feeling of being trapped even when no one blames you, and how a single word can damage relationships and memories.

Hana is caught in a loop, with each chapter leading to a tragic ending. Rather than forcing choices, the game lets you interrupt choices during specific conversations to try to change her fate.

Shape the story

When you interrupt a choice, you enter an alternate word in a prompt. Guessing and typing a word that changes what happens can help Hana avoid tragedy and lead the two girls toward happiness. You can make choices at your own pace, and a story flowchart helps you navigate the narrative.

Presentation

The adventure features Fukahire's illustrations, animated character sprites and fully voiced characters.
