Lovely Lady RPG

Thank you for making this. It genuinely made me happy in a deep, grounding way. I have lived a lot of what this game captures, and it made me feel seen as a whole person rather than a problem to be solved. It left me proud of who I am and proud that I kept going.

The raven scene really got me. I have met so many people like that in our community. It hurt, but it also made me feel hopeful knowing how many of those people are doing better now.

I appreciate how honestly you portray things like healthcare gatekeeping and the emotional labour of simply existing while also supporting others. The game made me want to move forward, even while knowing the fight is not over.

I have played a few of your games and your art, writing, and humour consistently land. Thank you for making work like this and for putting it into the world.

Playing this together with my (now) girlfriend is what made both of us finally accept who we really are. This game has had the biggest effect on both of our lives more so than any other piece of media. You ladies did lovely work! - Abigail & Emma <3

it’s been quite a while since i finished my playthrough of this game. i listened to the “leaving the party” podcast recently and was reminded of how much i vibed with your game.

i played it together with a friend and we had so much fun voicing the different characters. the way they are written really made that easy. i continued playing through the game on my own and still kept reading out the voices aloud (a good opportunity for voice training).

i normally look at a character from a distance and at max relate to situations they experience. with ghost i often felt quite connected. she felt like me or how i want to be in many situations. when i read how you imagined her in the art book this made even more sense to me. i love how she is – despite her troubles – a very positive, genuine, and curious person.

the variety of styles between character portraits, bgs, and scenes were lovely. i also liked the ui flourishes like the achievement sprites, and the gorgeous button hover effect (that i only saw in the beginning as i started to use number inputs after a while – shame on me).

gameplay-wise i was really stressed during the first two days and only started to go on whimsical adventures on the last two days. the gender clinic scene was so uncomfortable and it made me thankful that i didn’t need t go through these questionnaires to get my name changed (i live in germany and there was an improvement regarding name changes last year – that is already being contested).

the music was pretty memorable and together with your writing and art you played so many of my emotional strings.

llrpg was my entry point to trans games, so it holds a special place in my heart (especially because it was such a lovely experience).

thank you for crating and publishing this game.

I just finished my 12th playthough of this game and I feel like that should stand as review on its own. 

I love this game. It is my favourite game. It is the piece of media that is most important to me. It is the game i recommend to people who want to get to know me. Every time i finish this game i am left with a pit in me, a longing for more time in this world, with these characters, with this art style. I love this game.

I dont think i will ever play another game like this one. I wish i had a physical copy of it so i could eat it.

I'm unable to launch the game on a Macintosh. I have an older Intel Macintosh and installed the Intel Mac version, but the icon just bounces on the Dock, then disappears... Currently running macOS Ventura 13.5 with an AMD Radeon RX 480 and 32 GB of RAM.

Almost a year after purchasing the game, I finally got reminded that I wanted to play it. I think I want to say that I regret not playing it sooner, but that'd be a bit of a lie - I think now was the best time for me, personally to experience it.

It's hard to get into exactly what I found important about the game without getting a bit rambly. To phrase it shortly and succinctly, IS SEHR COOL RELATABLE VIDEOSPIEL JA?

To phrase it, less succinctly, it's an extremely resonant piece of work. The Sinner's self destructive behaviour, The Pulp Writer's yearning for a different time and regret while isolating herself, Ghost's general dimness which ends up bringing that little bit of needed light to the aforementioned characters. Despite the circumstances, the general miserableness of everyone around, there's a certain warmth to be felt. There's hope, in that maybe we should keep going, and trying again and again. And that maybe we can be a positive, impactful force in people's lives if we're just.. kind. If we show love. If we show ourselves.

Ghost, to me, and of course writing is fickle in that interpretations differ - But, she's not afraid to be herself. She's, a little airheaded, and just says things that come to her mind. But to me she's, a bit fo an encouragement to be less anxious about what people think. To be, myself to, do things.

The GIC appointment was, distressing. Positively distressing. It achieves what I believe it sets out to do, it's uncomfortable, it's creepy. I want to punch the bastard. I wanted to claw and scream. It's such a relatable experience, and I couldn't not comment on it. So I did.

Also I appreciate all the callbacks. (Call.. forwards? the game does take place in the past) to previous works. When I saw a certain magenta-coloured artwork I was kinda fangirling in a lame way because it was reminiscent or a certain yellow-coloured artwork. Also the little things here and there. It's cool.

There's, a lot, and by now I'm thinking maybe I should find a different outlet for my thoughts (Like a proper review, something I've wanted to do for a while for *something* I've enjoyed, but have always procrastinated on.), but nevertheless I hope these words meant something. Game is good.

The art and writing is, inspiring, Mia and Poppy, you've both done an amazing fucking job, and I aspire to someday express myself through my work as has been done here.

Dear reader, whoever you are, if you've read all of this, I hope you have a great day. Remember to keep going, and keep living. We were put on this earth to kiss women. So go kiss a girl. Also drink plenty of water. (So you can make a lot of saliva with which to do things with women.)

I reaaaally want my own mouse OC in this style; do you do commission?

I'm not gonna lie, the whole scene with the NVKD doctor kinda messed me up. He was such a creep that I had to keep reloading to try to beat him. 

Tried like ten times and couldn't.

Then it just sort of hit me how bad things were for girls in the past. I can't be more thankful that my gender doctor was so kind and accepting.

I'm honestly afraid to keep playing

This was so good. I did two very different playthroughs in one night and had a religious experience when I got the scene with the Sinner in the woods. Legitimately changed my life, I think. Thank you for making this game.

Wait, updated 99 days ago? Are there patch notes?? 👀

are there any plans to bring the game to steam ever? understandable if not i’m just curious :3

Make women smile, do knifeplay, and smoke estrogen. 

Will linux receive the updates as well?

oh one minor bug report: on macOS, the exit button in the main menu closes the game window, but does not actually quit the application. not a big deal but definitely catches me off guard lmao

it is all so tangible, so textured and present i am there, in a way that is never true in reality the shape and structure of the world fill my head to bursting and it is like i have always been in the city, though i have no memory of it

it is real and it is there and it carries the weight of millennia of history layered atop itself, curling in and around, cracked and leaning and beautiful

the real world, by comparison, is this flat, contextless thing, made abstract beyond the limits of human habitation

the raven is literally me in irl life thank you for bringing her into existence

I don't remember if I left a comment or not, but I want to say that I love this game so much! I've shown it to a few friends and they all really love it too! Hope you keep making awesome art

This game is great, I did my first playthrough a few days ago and a few more after that and there's so much to love.  Art, music, and writing are all amazing. I love the story, the world it presents, there's so many interesting questions about the setting of this place and how it came to be this way. Ghost and the Pulp Writer are my favorites, and it was so easy to become attached to them and want to make their lives just a bit better. The artbook is also a wonderful read, it's great seeing how the game changed behind the scenes as development went on. 

Idk how I even found out about this game, but it's one of the greatest and most emotionally resonant stories I've experienced in a game ever. Thanks for such an unforgettable experience, Ghost will be the next "literally me" character for the foreseeable future.

I played through a few days ago and I have not been able to  get this game out of my head, I don't know if I ever will either. Thanks so much for making this wonderful thing. Pulp Writer is my new wife

Im in love with this game :3

Thank you for making this. I really needed more lesbian rats in my life.

Hello I played this game back in September and watching my friend play through the game now really reaffirmed how much this game means to me. When i first played the game I was having a lot of trouble physically obtaining the hrt i was already prescribed and had effectively been off meds for a few months + having sort of kinda temporality detransitioned during the first years of the pandemic really made me feel physically sick whenever the Nightmare said anything.  The first nightmare sequence felt so fucking visceral and authentic, then I immediately go to the gender clinic, get utterly disgusted, and realize just how special this game was going to be for me. Now looking back I can also say this game was kind of a catalyst for me to start breaking away from a lot of mindsets that were keeping me from embracing myself. LLRPG feels so unabashedly celebratory of all the weird, scrungly, messy, and horny that people can be that it really changed my perception of what its “ok” to be, specifically as a trans woman. That i don’t need to keep fruitlessly chasing some vague reddit-trans idea of being this perfectly passing ball of uwu femininity.  I guess what im saying is this game honestly taught me how to start unlearning shame.  

Thank you two so much for making this game. My life unironically has been made better for playing it.

love this game, is there any way i can pay for the artbook without buying the whole game again? :p

Beautiful and perfect and lovely omg

I just adore the writing in this! The world is just so REAL and lived-in. There's stuff that made me laugh a lot (Nasty Girl's dialogue and some of the silly dialogue you can choose) stuff that made my skin crawl (the interview ughhh) and stuff that made me a little teary (having a heart to heart with the Pulp Writer)

Speaking of I LOVE THAT SKRUNGLY LITTLE RAT she's literally perfect

I am definitely going to check out more games in the Lovely Ladyverse now, great work and thank you for making one of my favorite games of 2024!

I'm gonna be honest, I knew about this game for a while and was planning on playing it, but then twitter handpicked some screenshots and I like the goober I am decided to believe internet strangers instead of follow my heart. So now several months later I was bored on new years eve and gave it a shot.

I am a Trans woman who uses a Possum persona online, I live in the UK, rurally. I am incredibly gay and invested in literature. I have never in my life felt like a game was so specifically made for me, I was flip flopping between crying and making hysterical little gay whines whilst reading all of this, I've done two playthroughs so far and I don't intend to stop until I've gotten at least 90% of the achievements.

I want to thank Poppy and Mia so so much, you two have made something so incredibly special and close to my heart. I wish to carry this game with me for a long time and I will return to it as often as my heart allows me to. It's so full of soul and such personably relatable content, a life-changing experience for me <3

A little late, (since I played this around the time it got released and have been meaning to comment), but I wanted to thank the both of you for making this game. I don't think I've ever played a game so funny yet also viscerally upsetting at the same time, but coming out loving every second of it. I adored Ghost so much as a protagonist, she's such a funny rat. A lot of her silly dialogue options made me genuinely giddy when reading them in my head, and I felt for her a lot with all the garbage she has to go through in the course of the game.

I also really loved the art, absolutely beautiful art style and also  delightfully silly when it needs to be. Genuinely glad I decided to buy the artbook alongside the game (loved the annotations in it, really gave more insight to the process than most artbooks I've read). Loved all the designs for the wacky animal people, in particularly The Sinner's. I enjoyed how normal she was presented in her first image, and then later just becomes this absolute tall, lanky, imposing creature (with the most impeccable dress sense) in the later drawings of her.

I'm eagerly looking forward to whatever project either of you will be working on in the future 🐀

Utterly adored every second of it. It was hilarious and harrowing and sweet and just utterly buried itself in my psyche and made me talk about little else for a week. Favourite game of 2024. Thank you so much for making it!

I finished it in one sitting. Then i finished it twice more in the same sitting. This might be my all time favourite game. It feels made for me. The most ive ever connected with a game
