If you were hoping for a laid-back, relaxing, and happy weekend, I've got some bad news for you. With the surprise release of two critically acclaimed games, Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful, now available on Android, we'd be disappointed if you *didn't* dive right in and take a direct hit to the heart.

Set in the post-apocalyptic world of Olathe, these games thrust you into the shoes of Brad Armstrong, who's on a quest to reunite with his adoptive daughter, Buddy. You'll be faced with a series of dismal moral choices that will test your resolve and challenge your ethics. While the idea of a soul-crushingly depressing RPG might sound off-putting, the Lisa series is renowned for blending genuinely enjoyable gameplay with a deeply engaging and ethically challenging story. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're willing to give it a chance, it could be exactly what you've been looking for.

In practical terms, however, Lisa isn't as confrontational as you might think. While the story and choices are complex, the gameplay is as straightforward as any regular turn-based RPG. You'll recruit a squad of companions to join you on your journey, battling various foes along the way. But be warned: your companions aren't as durable as you are, and certain instant kill moves by enemies or other events can permanently remove them from your roster.

The mobile versions are part of the Definitive Edition collection, featuring new mechanics, crisp HD visuals, and other enhancements, making for an even more immersive experience.
