About Paper Lily - Chapter 1

Something terrible has happened. You can’t bear to think about it - but you can’t live like this anymore. You stopped attending school, you haven’t left your house in months, you have no reason to get out of bed anymore. There are no choices left.

No choice except... that strange golden letter.

It’s time to get your life back together.

One last try.


Paper Lily is a story-driven, psychological horror RPG where each puzzle has multiple solutions and outcomes. There is always another way.
Follow Lacie's story as you explore a dangerous hidden world, solve puzzles in multiple different ways, and face strange enemies. The game is playable in about 4 hours and contains multiple endings depending on your actions.

Paper Lily - Chapter 1 is the continuation to the prologue, Project Kat, but it can also be enjoyed without having played it.

This was a phenomenal experience even though I played it almost 3 years late but I loved every second! I'm really looking forward to Chapter 2 however long it may take.
Recommended Oct 4, 2026
This is insanely good. I'm so curious about the story. The music is great. Cant't wait for some cute Lacie x Kai moments in chapter 2. :3
Recommended Oct 3, 2026
Cons: when fighting a boss and the boss moves to the next stage, character's hp doesn’t restore (it only restores if you die) Pros: everything else. 10/10
Recommended Oct 3, 2026

Recommended Oct 3, 2026
I absolutely love this game from the art style, story, gameplay, puzzles to the multiple endings I can't wait for chapter two to come out
