Lisa: The Painful

A side-view, turn-based RPG in pixel art, set in a bleak post-apocalyptic wasteland. You lead a small party through dark and often absurd situations, and your choices cost you something real. Its humour and grim drama sit side by side. It takes around twelve hours. Is it your kind of game?
