Serenity Forge has released two new mobile games this week. The latest additions to Android are Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful from The Lisa Trilogy. If you've previously experienced these titles on PC, you're already familiar with the intense emotional journey they deliver.
A Perfect Blend of Pain and Pleasure
For those new to the series, here's what you need to know. The franchise began with Lisa: The First in 2012 on PC - a retro-style exploration game that delves into the psyche of Lisa Armstrong.
Players navigate through a distorted reality shaped by trauma, piecing together fragmented memories through vintage VHS tapes and encounters with bizarre characters. The experience is both surreal and psychologically unsettling.
The subsequent installments, Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful, launched on PC in 2014 and 2015 respectively. These Definitive Edition mobile releases follow the updated PC versions from July 2023.

Experience The Lisa Trilogy on Android
In Lisa: The Painful, you assume the role of Brad Armstrong, traversing the desolate landscape of Olathe in search of his adopted daughter Buddy.
The game masterfully balances brutal gameplay with dark humor, featuring permanent consequences for your decisions. You might sacrifice limbs, lose party members, or take devastating blows for others.
Lisa: The Joyful concludes the trilogy with Buddy as the protagonist. Following the catastrophic White Flash that wiped out all women except her, Olathe has descended into even deeper darkness.
As Buddy, you must survive while concealing your identity and seeking vengeance. The game presents a bleaker worldview while maintaining the series' signature difficult choices that dramatically alter your playthrough.
The Definitive Editions feature enhanced combat systems, six new Warlord abilities, fresh border artwork, a music player, and an accessible painless mode.
