This game is amazing! I already loved Project Kat (actually replayed it on steam to refresh myself before starting this one - quite neat to see that Chapter 1 recognised my save file) but Paper Lily is even better. The sheer variety of choices is really incredible, it must have taken so much work to add that many different options and solutions (and that's just in this version, very eager to see what the upcoming update adds). And a lot of the puzzles were really interesting and satisfying, especially when I'd been wandering around not knowing what to do then something suddenly just clicks (I cheered out loud when I figured out the shortcut). It also led me to being more creative in my thinking and even spending time trying random things just to see if they worked (think I sat for at least half an hour in that train waiting room just in case they actually called my number haha). And the story is absolutely wonderful. It's a bit of a different tone to Project Kat which threw me off at first, but adding this more fantastical setting alongside the horror worked so well. Lacie is so precious, I love all her gaming comments and my heart broke for her the more we learned of her life, I really want to help her get rid of her curse. The story is definitely raising a lot of interesting questions, particularly regarding those gold envelopes (I remember them from Project Kat), very eager to find out more and I'm already excited for Chapter 2. Thank you so much for this incredible game, I look forward to seeing what else you bring to the table.
And Rune is cool.
I like Rune.
P.S. Huge thank you for adding a skip option for the spikes. They didn't ruin my enjoyment of the game in any way but I always struggle with these kind of puzzles and get frustrated with them, so I really appreciate having that option so I can push on with the story if I'm really having trouble.
