Lily's Day Off [Quick] Review


This is definitely one of the stranger games that I have played. This is one of those games that you'd have to call a "Visual Novel" as in you do a bunch of reading and looking at pictures. ...They're way better than books. But this is no ordinary visual novel, as it is one of the darkest games I have ever played!

The story of the game really depends on the options you choose as you get further. Each mini-story doesn't last too long, so coming back to find them all won't take up too much of your time. This is what makes the game unique compared to other games. In other visual novels, selecting options would just change the outcome. In this game, however, your choices not only change the outcome, but the universe your in too.

In all possible scenario's, you find Lily crying in your neighborhood, with no memory of anything that happened to you previously. However, you do recall that Lily is a famous pop star. Then you decide to talk to her. Depending on the way you go, you might be trying to become one of her friends, trying to go out with her, finding out that... she's your sister... or you might be trying to murder her? Yeah, I wasn't kidding when I said this game was strange.

At key moments when you discover these things, or nothing is going on, there's some nice background music. Some of the tracks are relaxing, others are intense, and some are emotional. I wouldn't rate the tracks to high, but and visually it looks fine.
If you don't like what Lily's wearing when you start the game up, or what's being shown in this video you're watching, you can change her outfit from five different options before you begin the game. It's nothing special really, but it's a still a nice extra feature. Speaking of extra features, if you click on Lily at the title screen, you'll see a tech demo for something. ...Dat's it.  


Despite how strange it is, the game is one of the most unique visual novels I have played. The game has a total of sixteen endings that range from strange to dark to creepy to kind normal. I'd only recommend this game to hardcore visual novel/anime/dating sim fans or just anybody that wants to play something that they can complete under an hour. Lily's day off gets a "Star out of five".
