Lisa: The Painful

LISA: The Painful is an RPG set in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Olathe. You travel through a world of moral desolation, make choices that permanently affect gameplay and decide what kind of person you will be. Keeping party members alive can mean taking a beating for them or sacrificing limbs, among other costs.

Choices and survival

Your decisions can permanently affect towns, characters and lives. You can recruit up to 30 party members in towns and camps, but may also risk losing them: betting a party member in Russian Roulette can bring a large profit, while their death means losing them permanently. Visible sacrifices, such as removing arms or eyes and sustaining scratches, affect your stats and attacks.

Battles and diversions

The game has over 100 unique character battles. You can also take part in shopping cart races, extreme weight lifting and other minigames. Secrets are hidden throughout Olathe.

Modes and additions

Painful mode adds an extra challenge and unique enemies, while Painless mode offers a story-focused experience. The Definitive Edition also includes HD graphics, a 120 FPS mode, new party member campfire conversations, updated battle systems, new border art overlays, new music, and a music player featuring tracks from LISA: The First.
