Oshikake Petit Lily

About

Oshikake Petit Lily is a brief fully voiced visual novel that focuses on a tense reunion between two women. You play as Nozomi a person dealing with the aftermath of depression whose quirky childhood friend Puchiri arrives unannounced. The story unfolds over 20-30 minutes with minimal branching paths emphasizing dialogue and emotional beats. Character designs lean into anime tropes while the script leans into abrupt tonal shifts. The game stands out for its unapologetic approach to heavy themes including mental health struggles and sudden violent impulses. Community reviews on Metacritic average 6.4/10 with players noting the jarring contrast between lighthearted moments and dark subject matter. The runtime is short but the ending leaves little resolution making it more of an experimental short story than a traditional dating sim. Content warnings for blood and self harm are prominently listed upfront.
