Three Lilies and Their Ghost Stories

About

Three Lilies and Their Ghost Stories splits into three standalone tales across rural China, suburban America, and a futuristic floating city. Each story follows characters drawn into eerie situations, lost hikers, confused drivers, and workers navigating a power outage, that blur the line between mystery and the supernatural. Players navigate branching dialogue and environmental details to uncover what happened and why. The structure keeps each narrative tight, with choices influencing how information unfolds but rarely altering major outcomes. The game stands out for its atmospheric writing and subtle art style, letting quiet moments carry weight. Set in the same universe but separated by time and location, the three tales share thematic echoes without relying on direct connections. While some threads remain ambiguous, the focus on character reactions over jump scares gives it a distinct tone. Released in early 2023, it’s a short but polished experience best suited for fans of slow-burn stories. Available on PC and mobile, it plays well in sessions under an hour, making it easy to pick up and set down between its three distinct worlds.

On their way to their first stop, they get lost in the neighborhood, and soon find themselves in an empty copy...

One such city floating in the Atlantic Ocean suddenly experiences an unusual power outage. Two plant maintenance workers, Tara and Anzu, their third polycule member Kiran, and the Director of Island Operations go down to investigate, and what they find is...
