Blood Lily: Killers Can't Sink a Yuri Ship

[後半に日本語レビューあり] [h1]Yuri Meets B-Horror in a Mystery-Comedy Adventure[/h1] College student Lily wants to turn a vacation into a chance to get closer to her best friend and crush, Sally. Instead, killers keep appearing wherever they go. The setup is a B-horror mystery ADV driven by Lily's oddly reasonable conviction that anyone ruining her romantic plans is an enemy. Yuri tension, murder cases, parody, and comedy keep the story moving at a brisk pace. Rather than aiming for pure fear, the game leans into the kind of banter that gets funnier as the situation gets worse, giving it a distinctly B-movie flavor. Gameplay is story-first. You read scenes, inspect highlighted points, and make choices at key moments. It does not try to stop the player with elaborate deduction systems or difficult puzzles, so the focus stays on who looks suspicious and what each decision may cause. The game also prompts saves before important branches, making it straightforward to revisit routes and collect the various bad and true endings. Chapters 1 and 2 follow different incidents while gradually revealing connections between characters and the wider setting. The visual gimmick is especially effective: al…

"Will Dyson will die soon!" is the best thing I've ever read

I loved playing through this! Reminded me of both a detective story anime and a table top gaming session, which makes sense given the source material and inspirations. If you like either of those, I would recommend this game.

Overall, A fun game, but it has some issues. For the price of $6, it's about an hour-long experience, so not bad value, but not a bargain. Additionally, this entire series seems a little... well, hard to jump into. It seems like there's a BUNCH of games in this series, and I have no idea what order I'm supposed to play them in. Some of them seem like sequels to this game, others prequels. And, of course, since these are just chapters in the story, the ending felt sort of... unfulfilling, something that I wasn't aware of until later. Ultimately, I think all of these problems could be solved if the devs marketed all of this universe's games in one big collection, maybe adding DLC for new stories, since that would give a better expectation that this is just some chapters in a larger narrative, and also help clowns like me realize that this isn't a complete story. But I'd settle for a simple 'play in this order for the full experience' tab that's easy to find. If one exists, my brain is too small to find it. Anyway, final complaint I have is that the mysteries basically solve themselves. It feels like we aren't here to solve a mystery, but more to watch one unfold, which feels like …

This was fun! Horror's not generally my genre, but the humor kept it light enough to enjoy, and the mystery had enough going that I felt invested but not confused or blindsided. The protag's actions largely make sense in context, which is a huge deal for me. Definitely worth the price.

It's fun! I get that at full price you could probably buy games you could play for longer, but I think for what it is it's ok (I got it 20% off). It really is a B-horror mystery comedy (it reminds me of scary movies). It's short and cheesy, but I liked it and will check out the rest of the series. I enjoyed my time playing this more than I would have enjoyed buying and watching a slasher movie, which would still cost a similar amount.
