This is awesome. I played project kat already before a couple of times and I was in love. When I found out that paper lily was out, I was like omg I need to download this, and so I did. The design was amazing I loved all the details especially in the forest and the house (her room), I think I might've missed some interactions with items but it's alright, finishing the game was fulfilling enough. I really liked the soundtrack too it fit perfectly with the areas, really nice music. Honestly there's so much more I could say but it's so amazing I can't put it into words, I love rpg makers with my soul, so this is just aijuijueradwajuedsar. (Sorry if my grammar is all messy, I'm just so excited for what's to come.)
I also really loved the character design; the art style is so nice I might have to study it and make it my own loll. I hope I wrote everything I liked in here there's so much going on in my brain after playing this my thoughts are all over the place.
Spoilers below !!(?)
I got the true end which is the only end I'm pretty sure lol and omg why does he leavee arggg i want to eat macarons with youuu. !!! Live laugh love Sai!!! oh yeah I was thinking maybe adding a tiny minigame to the envelope folding might've been cool although I'm not sure how one would go about that.
I will not lie I did try to take the flower out its vase at the end, the bird from project kat lowk traumatized me. so glad I didn't get told of by some demon this time. ALSO is the potion shop girlie kat ?? i saw someone call her that and the hairstyle fits but i don't know if I'm being dumb lolol.
Since this comment was ~4 months ago, I'm assuming you already got it or dropped the search. But just in case, the second rune is found during the sign puzzle right before the lamp post puzzle. The hint is to turn both signs that say "Secret" so that it follows a direction, one opens a path for a coin and another for a rune.
Hey! I love this game, its art, puzzles and the fact that there is always another way is amazing, I will continue waiting for next releases!
P.S: I think the game has a bug and sometimes when I start a new mission it don't appear the objective and I can't gather the necessary items to complete it.
Finished the game a few times, it was very fun! Love it!
Slight spoilers/questions
Has anyone gotten handle (pentagon) in the facility, and what can you do with the bucket? Does it have something to do with the occupied stall in the bathroom?
I keep taking out the fuses for the lights, doors, etc to get access to the elevator, but pretty sure there's way...Just need some guidance :-/
"rune" probably took it, you need at least 4 runes to get the handle i guess. i manage to give 3 runes to "rune", does anyone know how to get another runes?
i finished the game when it was on 1.0.3(windows) do i keep the saves if i download this new version? By the way this game is a masterpiece i like the characters and the maps a lot expecially the forest and its music
i said in the form but ill say it here again. the game is great and im rly thankful for what you two are doing. you guys have full support at least from me for any ways to monetize it because i want to see this game go through so much. not a fan of chapter releases (especially since your turn to die, if you know you know) but im so invested in the story that ill take anything. good job you two.
Thank you! We appreciate it! We definitely understand the issues with chapter releases, so if there's a better option for Paper Lily in the future, we're open to it ^^
I love the art style and visuals but there seems to be a glitch where I can't get past the section of calling the bus. Even though I put in the right symbols/numbers it still doesn't progress the story, I even searched up a guide for this part and still can't get it to work. I'll try this game out later into the year when its completely released. Other then that, it was a good experience from the short time I was playing.
I personally thought that the first ending/route that I got was the only one accessible, even if just in the demo. I'm absolutely amazing by the game so far; the UI, the art, the music, the characters, the world, basically everything. I have fallen totally in love and I cannot wait to see what else is in store. Can't wait for the KS to drop either!!!
Been waiting for this! I love how it hearkens back to Project Kat and I love that the puzzles have different solutions. Gives it lots of replay value. Artwork and music are amazing, the difficulty level is a little inconsistent but I'm sure you'll work that out. Thanks for the wonderful game-- you do great work!
does anyone know if the speed of the painting lady in miss knives home was changed since launch? i've been stuck on this part for an hour now, but whenever i look up walkthroughs, she barely even catches up with them. im doing every single movement the same, but she gets me no matter what, so im wondering if it was made harder or i just really suck
I only bring this up because I didn’t realize it myself until way deep in the facility, but are you aware that you can sprint with shift? Aside from that, I’m not too certain about the difficulty adjustments.
I know it’s not necessary to beat the game, but despite my best efforts I couldn’t solve the code for the little box in Miss Knives’ bedroom. Is there anyone who knows that can give me a hint on how to solve it? One thing I tried was counting the paintings with keys, but that didn’t really work out.
Thanks for the reassurance! Had to go back to my save before the facility just to take a crack at it again. I was able to solve it pretty quickly afterwards— really don’t know why I didn’t try that from the get-go. My problem was that I kept trying to enter the numbers from the two floors separately.
You didn’t see it because it’s completely optional. In Red’s Tree House there’s a room beneath the carpet. Here you’ll find a character, who in exchange for help, will offer you a shortcut to the light house that doesn’t involve going through the forest. This character will request a blue light, which you get in the form of a blue-flamed candle from the candle head statue in the Sculptor’s House if you de-petrify him with a potion made in the tree house. Won’t work if you took the candle from the statue before hand.
Quite an impressively polished experience. Wonderful artwork, amusing dialogue, a world full of weird ideas... this is exactly the kind of RPG Maker-esque experience I love.
I finally made it to the finale of chapter 1, overall I had a great time with this game :). I can't wait for chapter 2, and seeing how this story plays out. The cliffhanger really got me at the end! That's a great way to end a chapter!
I really love the game! I love the developer create personality from each character, and also I'm enjoying to dubbing every character in the story XD. Just for my feedback I think it's better to adding a footstep in your game. Overall it's a good game!! I split the gameplay into a few part, this is part 1. I hope you enjoy it ^^
AHHH I just finished it! I love the direction this game is heading at. Seriously, did you do a ritual to come up with this stuff????
I love the art style, the new minigames were a bit tricky but fun, the story got way deeper, lovable characters (Except for that random primal) and overall a great game.
I have encountered a few bugs here and there.. Though, since I played on V1.0.0, I don't mind, game developing seems very tough and I'm sure they've been patched on the newer releases.
Even so, I got my time's worth and an overall 10/10.
Spoilers
I still can't get over Ms Knives' backstory, Sai voluntarily being left behind, Kat and the gang and Lacie's curse.. But I'm sure everything will make much more sense as time passes by.
Anyways, that's all I have to say. Wow that was long, cheers!
Earlier in the game I accidentally destroyed the statue guy, and now I’m trying to get through the keypad door underneath Red’s house and I need the blue light :’) Is there any other way to get the code for the keypad without the light? I’ve been playing for quite a long time since I took the candle and I don’t really want to do everything all over again.
(I’m aware that I can go through the north/east gate, but I would prefer not to...)
I've played well over 4hrs of the demo release, mostly trying to find all the hidden secrets crammed in like I did with project kat. I think I've found most of the placeholder alternate endings, and I'm pretty intrigued to find what actually happens cause some of them seem pretty vague/random. Couple of questions tho. At the facility, is it possible to open the doors labeled "kids room" and "the glen" on the map, and can you access the 4th floor on the elevator or is it just there for flavour. Also, is the player able to open the shutter door at the train station. If you use the scissors it mentions that they're not strong enough to cut through metal bars, but the bolt cutter doesn't work either.
I played the first (I think) version of Project Kat long before the steam realease, and I absolutely loved it. Since that day, I had been waiting for years now for the first chapter, and I just finished today. And it was even better than I expected. Can't wait for the full steam realease!
After replaying it again, I can't believe the amount the details I missed on my first playthrough! It's sooo good!!
I was curious if there is any plan uploading the music to youtube or any other platform? I'd absolutely love to listen to the soundtrack outside of the game. (But totally understand if that's not a concern at all, the devs must be pretty busy with the kickstarter and the game!)
This was a lot of fun on all fronts - the art, the music, the writing, the gameplay. I kind of wish there was some way of tracking the different ways to solve puzzles, since there seems to be quite a few this time around.
I'm looking forward to future releases. I have a hunch about Hiro, but we'll see if I'm right.
You're planning to add here other translations like in Project Kat? I'm from Poland and i don't know if i can wait for it in demo version Paper Lily :D
Hi, opening translations will only be in the full version, we will be translating the game to Polish with MegoBari, if you are interested in translating the game to Polish with us then please contact me on discord Tegron#4152
Cześć, otwieranie tłumaczeń będą dopiero w pełnej wersji, będziemy z MegoBari tłumaczyć grę na język Polski, jeśli jesteś zainteresowany tłumaczeniem gry na Polski z nami to proszę skontaktować się ze mną na discordzie Tegron#4152
Man, this game is awesome, tho I've experience lag and screen tearing, is my laptop not powerful enough? what are the minimum requirements? Also, will the prologue merge into the game or will they be separated tittles?
For the screen tearing, you can try playing around with the FPS Limit setting to see if it improves it, as for the lag, we're working on more optimization! Regarding the prologue and ch1, for now they will stay as separate titles.
im on my third playthrough of this game rn (I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT <3) but i was just wondering if there is any way to get into the locked rooms in Lacie's house?

Absolutely adore this game!! I can't wait to see what you guys do next!!
Question!! (Spoilers incoming)...
1. How does one get under Red's house? I'm unsure where to find the key to open the passage there...
From what I remember, you need to exchange a rune stone with Rune to get bolt cutters. You can then use the bolt cutters to open the passage.
Ah thank you for the reply, but for me, he gave me a bug's net when I gave him a rune 😅
There is a runes near the giant tree
that's the one I gave to him 😅. I'll have to hunt for more runes, I think, but I appreciate the help!
Since this comment was ~4 months ago, I'm assuming you already got it or dropped the search. But just in case, the second rune is found during the sign puzzle right before the lamp post puzzle.

I don't know if you have noticed but Kat and Juli appeared in chapter 1, although they two are possibly demons now.
here the images of Kat and Juli in their demon forms
yeah i noticed that too
i thought it was iris in the painting
I finished the game just a couple of minutes ago And I can't wait to see the chapter 2
Wish you best of luck Leaf 6010
It's "Leef" not "Leaf"
Hey! I love this game, its art, puzzles and the fact that there is always another way is amazing, I will continue waiting for next releases!
P.S: I think the game has a bug and sometimes when I start a new mission it don't appear the objective and I can't gather the necessary items to complete it.
Thank you! We'll take a look at it!

I keep taking out the fuses for the lights, doors, etc to get access to the elevator, but pretty sure there's way...Just need some guidance :-/
Nope, there is no pentagon handle, but you don't need it if you know how to geometry. As for the elevator, it's basic math, just add up to 55,
Answers below:
You can just use the star handle for the pentagon, and the fuses are just 40 + 15 in the top slots.
In the 1.0.4, it's different, it's
40 + 5
25 - 15
"rune" probably took it, you need at least 4 runes to get the handle i guess. i manage to give 3 runes to "rune", does anyone know how to get another runes?
Do you want the answer or do you want to keep looking for it yourself
So there is another one?
There's 4, not counting the starting one used for the ritual.
And where is the fourth? I only found 3
i finished the game when it was on 1.0.3(windows) do i keep the saves if i download this new version? By the way this game is a masterpiece i like the characters and the maps a lot expecially the forest and its music
Thank you! Yes, if you download any new versions, you keep your saves ^^
Hello! Congrats for the release of the 1rst chapter! I loved Project Kat, so I was really hyped for this! Keep it up~
Work of art. Excited for chapter 2!
Keep up the great work!

About that.. IOS when i Tap the paper lily demo app.
there’s nothing there
I just finished the game and thought it was amazing, good job.
I love the art style and visuals but there seems to be a glitch where I can't get past the section of calling the bus. Even though I put in the right symbols/numbers it still doesn't progress the story, I even searched up a guide for this part and still can't get it to work.

Ig it was a bit of a long shot sorry I couldn’t help :(

Same. It took me quite a while because I was overthinking it.
018 is the whoops spoiler
can't wait for the full release and to find some stuff i missed in my first playthrough!
what's the blue light everyone is talking about?! How did I finish the game without needing it?..

oh man spoiler, but thanks
There is always another way!
...to solve puzzles :)
Thank you for making another way to solve that ungodly spike minigame:)
I wouldn't be able to finish the game otherwise...
Quite an impressively polished experience. Wonderful artwork, amusing dialogue, a world full of weird ideas... this is exactly the kind of RPG Maker-esque experience I love.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it ^^

Everyone : I finished the game!
meanwhile me : *trying to escape the picture ghost lady in miss knives home for the 100th time*
Hi, I wanted to ask if you can tell us already when will it be released on Steam?
We will be posting a devlog with more info on this very soon! Thank you for your patience ^^
I use a mac and it says the file is damaged :')
i cant open the file :(
mb, thanks though!

The game ilwas beautiful i love them both (Project Kat and Paper Lilly) Did a gameplay of it as well
Beautiful game. I still cant find a way to lower water levels on the facility site
it seems you can finish the game without doing it. Which kinda doesnt make sense...
im on my third playthrough of this game rn (I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT <3) but i was just wondering if there is any way to get into the locked rooms in Lacie's house?
Thank you for playing!
Regarding the locked rooms, not yet! This is for future chapters :)
okay thanks, looking forward to the final product! :>>>
