Serenity Forge has launched two new Android games this week - Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful, completing The Lisa Trilogy's mobile debut. PC veterans of these games are already familiar with their emotionally charged journeys.
It's Painful and Joyful at the Same Time
For newcomers, here's what makes this series special. The trilogy began with Lisa: The First in 2012 as a PC-exclusive retro exploration game diving into protagonist Lisa Armstrong's psyche.
Players navigate a distorted reality shaped by trauma, piecing together fragmented memories through eerie encounters and cryptic VHS tapes. The experience is profoundly surreal and psychologically unsettling.
The sequels Lisa: The Painful (2014) and Lisa: The Joyful (2015) now arrive on Android as Definitive Editions, mirroring their July 2023 PC upgrades.
You Can Play The Lisa Trilogy on Android
Lisa: The Painful follows Brad Armstrong's harrowing journey through Olathe's wasteland searching for his adopted daughter Buddy.
The game masterfully blends dark humor with gut-wrenching brutality. Every decision carries permanent consequences - from losing limbs to sacrificing companions - creating profoundly impactful gameplay.
Lisa: The Joyful concludes the trilogy with Buddy's story in a post-apocalyptic world devastated by the White Flash. As the last surviving girl, Buddy navigates this nightmarish landscape while concealing her identity and seeking vengeance.
The Definitive Editions introduce enhanced combat systems, six new Warlord abilities, border artwork, a built-in music player, and an optional Painless mode for less punishing gameplay.
Ready for a uniquely dark, hilarious, and brilliantly crafted experience? The Lisa Trilogy's definitive mobile versions are now available on Android.
