The Lady

The Lady is a 2D surreal puzzle horror adventure in which you guide The Lady through fever-dream hallucinations shaped by her struggles with anxiety and depression. She meets multiple versions of herself and must face uncertainty about which ones to trust. The journey moves from confusion to the intense anxiety associated with panic disorder, viewed through The Lady’s perspective.

Explore and fight

You explore side-scrolling environments, solve puzzles and face retro arcade-style boss battles. The gameplay draws on classic SNES and TurboGrafx-16 games, with brutal difficulty and no tutorials or hand-holding. The game uses a waist-up cinematic presentation in letterboxed full-screen HD.

Five levels

The game has five levels, each with its own play style. Its story raises questions about The Lady and about yourself.
