Lily's Day Off

This was my Slay the Princess when I was 8 and sharing an iPad with my brother

I'm an impulsive buyer. Okay, now that we've gotten that out of way, I love this game. I remember in 2018 when I played this for the first time on my old android phone as a dumb kid. I absolutely loved it and played hundreds of times even after knowing the story by heart and playing through it every chance I could. Naturally, I soon forgot about it over time and it didn't cross my mind until I saw it while looking at visual novels to buy. I bought it, then bought the second game... and fell in love all over again. Now, pros and cons? Pros: Its a lovely visual novel with interesting endings and a cute main character, I know no one has played this since 2019 but if you happen to see this game then I'd recommend that you buy it and see for yourself if you like Lily-chan and her cute outfits. Cons: It's a short game, about an hour and thirty minutes long depending on if you want to 100% it and read all dialogue. I wish different endings gave you different outfits to unlock as well but outfits are free from the start. In the end, its great if you're a game collector who likes perfect games, if you're a visual novel lover, or if you just simply like cute girls who happen to be famous idols. I would definitely recommend you try it out!

Игра прекрасна своей абсурдностью происходящего, не знаешь чего ожидать от безобидного выбора. И всё это за стоимость чашки кофе без скидки, а со скидкой так вообще можно сказать даром. Играл впервые ещё во времена выхода игры на Android, решил освежить воспоминания перед Lily's Night Off.

Lily’s Day Off is the first entry in the Lilypad Lily game series and it certainly shows. This game feels experimental, dated, and “cheap”, though oddly charming at the same time. Amidst the royalty-free music and simple, cute character, there’s not really too much going on for it aside from the weirdly random stories. It’s interesting how each route plays out so differently compared to each other, though in a way it can end up feeling so random resulting with either you love it or hate it type of experience. I’d say that this game feels more like a quality-ish ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ where you can’t really predict how the decisions will play out and in return, you’ve no idea as to how each route will end. Despite all of that, one of my biggest gripes with the game is the price, $5 for a game that can be 100% in <30 minutes feel bit too much, if the game is instead free then I’d have no issue with it whatsoever as it’s a good entry into the Lilypad Lily series. Alongside that, not having a save system does feel bit off-putting as well. Sure, the game is ultra short, but having to restart the whole game from the start just to choose a different choice gets annoying after a while. Getting the true ending is also pretty zzzz too since there’s not really any different requirements to reach it, you just choose your choices and get it which makes the true ending feels no different than any of the other 15 or so endings. Regardless, while the game is certainly not for everyone, it does do a good job at introducing you to the Lilypad Lily series via showing you the fun(ny) antics and quirky flow of the stories that are certainly present in future installments. I just wish that the price would be lowered by a lot (if not make it free altogether) as the price-to-content ratio is certainly bit messed up. Even then, it’s still a game that’s worth playing especially if you want to experience or have experienced Lily’s Night Off which in my opinion feels a lot more polished and well-produced due to how much it have improved upon Lily’s Day Off, Lily’s Day Off walked so Lily’s Night Off can run aah moment. If you’re still on the fence about purchasing the game, then I’d recommend doing a couple of routes and if the humour doesn’t really appeal to you, then you can just refund it. note: Lily's Day Off nor any of the Lilypad Lily games feature any sexual content, 6.8/10 (this review was typed with Canary)

Cute little visual novel. Originally played on the play store in 2017. No nudity outside of swimsuit outfit ig and has some funny moments in it. Overall a 7/10

cute and silly visual novel

this game crashed my computer, don't ask how

i read fast, so took me thirty minutes to see everything. its a silly game, not psychological horror or horror but if youre looking for some cheesy murder or insane asylum endings theres a couple of those. good way to kill some time waiting for my food to cook but definitely wouldnt pay 4 quid lol. got for 1 pound on sale and is worth about that XD not recommended just because almost a fiver for 30 minutes is a bit of a rip off when pocket mirror was about 8 quid and i played that for about 30 hours

A quirky little VN with lots of endings but each path is only a few minutes long. Completely switching up the genre and plot has each path feeling very fresh even after you’ve already seen a dozen or so.
