AMAZING GAME! I died about just 100 times but the puzzles and story was very worth it! My friend recommended for me to play it and I'm so glad I did! So excited for Chapter 2! Amazing work!
This game is amazing! I already loved Project Kat (actually replayed it on steam to refresh myself before starting this one - quite neat to see that Chapter 1 recognised my save file) but Paper Lily is even better. The sheer variety of choices is really incredible, it must have taken so much work to add that many different options and solutions (and that's just in this version, very eager to see what the upcoming update adds). And a lot of the puzzles were really interesting and satisfying, especially when I'd been wandering around not knowing what to do then something suddenly just clicks (I cheered out loud when I figured out the shortcut). It also led me to being more creative in my thinking and even spending time trying random things just to see if they worked (think I sat for at least half an hour in that train waiting room just in case they actually called my number haha). And the story is absolutely wonderful. It's a bit of a different tone to Project Kat which threw me off at first, but adding this more fantastical setting alongside the horror worked so well. Lacie is so precious, I love all her gaming comments and my heart broke for her the more we learned of her life, I really want to help her get rid of her curse. The story is definitely raising a lot of interesting questions, particularly regarding those gold envelopes (I remember them from Project Kat), very eager to find out more and I'm already excited for Chapter 2. Thank you so much for this incredible game, I look forward to seeing what else you bring to the table.
And Rune is cool.
I like Rune.
P.S. Huge thank you for adding a skip option for the spikes. They didn't ruin my enjoyment of the game in any way but I always struggle with these kind of puzzles and get frustrated with them, so I really appreciate having that option so I can push on with the story if I'm really having trouble.
is there going to be an update on lag? i really like the game but it is too laggy for me and makes the game puzzles really hard to do, even the ones that arent even that hard. TvT
I made an account literally just to comment this, but love playing this game even though i kept getting frustrated at every skill based puzzle, you guys made such an amazing game and i cant wait to play chapter 2!
also huge shout out to the person who made the chapter 1 guide, ur the best
I downloaded this game right after finding Itch. I thought I would quit after a few minutes, but I got really intrigued. This game has great art, gameplay, PUZZLES, and a very well thought and interesting storyline. The game has the perfect mix of horror and story, with nothing being obnoxious! I have already played this 3 times and I have found no glitches other than a camera glitch when entering the forest on the second playthrough. Paper Lily is very well and thoroughly created, a LOT of respect going to the devs for their attention to details. It makes the game even more fun to play. The music is also insanely awesome, so many emotions are portrayed through them! I hope one day that this game blows up! Good luck and I'm waiting eagerly for Chapter 2! One question though, is the music ok to record for YT vids?
When I started playing, I was touched by the death wish list, since I have tried to end myself many times, I was intrigued by all that happened, everything that happened made my heart ache and it also gave me some hope on myself, I wasn't expecting to spend three hours crying and playing, stuck on some puzzles, but after finishing the game, I just spent another hour just crying. It made me realize that I have to finish some stuff before I ever go, for example, I have to make friends. I wasn't expecting that ending, and I had to wake my mom up, at four AM, telling her ''why did it have to end like this.'' In tears. She yelled at me, but it was worth it.
The game really touched me, and I think it's worth playing, some tasks are a bit hard, but you eventually get used to them. Thank you for the game, not only did it scare me, but it made me cry and enjoy the storyline. Project Kat was also amazing, and the little easter eggs you put made me laugh.
Sorry we took so long to reply, but your comment really touched us ^^
We're sad to hear about your struggles, life can really kick us down but we hope you find a way to hold on to whatever little things make you happy! We're glad Paper Lily helped in some way, and we hope you'll play the rest of it <3 Take care of yourself!
To be honest, the game touched me so much that when I finished it, I had to take a break just to cry, it was four AM and my mother was asking why I was crying. I really, really felt much better after playing the game, I wasn't expecting to find a game that made me feel like that, and I really hope to be able to play the next parts, as they are amazing. Paper Lily and Project Kat now have a special place in my heart, and thank you so much for creating the games.
There are a few tutorials to avoid the ''App is damaged and can't be opened'', online, they involve Terminal commands, but I believe they are safe, try searching for one, it'll fix the problem!
Just finished chapter one. GAH! I can't wait for more but I also know that there's a lot I missed so I can always go back and find the rest of the stuff. Love the replay value. All of the characters are soooo cute.
I haven't played the game yet, but. I wanted to note something cute. (to me atleast) The name is called Paper Lily and the girl in the cover art (I'm assuming she's lily) has blonde hair. (maybe more white?) My crush has blonde hair and is named Lilly. Just an extra l in her name but I thought that was cute. Ight, good night. I am going to play this beautiful looking game tomorrow morning, I will edit or reply to this comment with my thoughts depending on how far I get. Looks awesome from what I've seen so far!!! :)
I'm stuck on the lamp quiz. I am so bad at these, I've been at it for longer than the entire game is supposed to take and I can't find any guides online T.T
'InvokeAI', it lead me here, I didn't even know this place existed, until I went hunting (for ages) for a really good stable diffusion model. You can get 'InvokeAI' for free here, which lead me to discover this entire 'itch' platform.
You make it sound cryptic but you basically just stumbled upon an indie game market it's not any different from steam or GOG so rest assured we're not that far deep in the iceberg you've got a long way down for the obscure platforms.
Okay, let's go, speedrun on the Paper Lily review, lets go (SPOILERS alert!!!!)
Okay first of all this game is just a masterpiece - characters, story, music, locations, artwork, etc! I love it so much!
It's weird to me that no one has paid attention to the beautiful moths - Milion, White Moth (my favorite!!!!!) and Yellow Moth - they are so cute and beautiful I just can't!!!
And I feel so sorry for Miss Knives, she didn't deserve all this! I have been crying for three days.
And you know I think Sai is not really a human. Yes, he has blood and even a backstory, he can die, etc., but why would he stay in a cursed world? I think it's strange.
The game is a must replay by the way! Better yet, more! I found so many interesting details and it's so satisfying! This is the very thing I fell in love with Project Kat for! And I was so happy to see Kat at the end!
(By the way, I personally checked that Project Kat's true ending variations don't affect Paper Lily chapter 1's ending) :(
Personally for me the mini games weren't very easy, but that's more because I'm noob i think((
I have so many questions and literally no one to ask them! For example, is it even possible to somehow open Glen's door and that little kid's door? Who is sitting in the locked stall in the bathroom? AND WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE BUCKET ON FACILITY? And by the way, how is it possible to reinforce the bolt cutter? And so many more questions!
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the Chapter 2!!! I will definitely try to support my new favorite game authors on kickstarter! You guys making such amazing and great work! Thank you!
(oh yeah and add more save slots pls god (I know you already said they would be in steam, but I need them so much already))
Paper Lily is even more fun! It’s beyond amazing! I love the art and storyline (so far).
But I’m stuck in Miss Knives house. When I try to get the golden eye from the girl in the painting, she chases Lacie, and I don’t know which way to run. Can anyone help me, please? I’d appreciate your help a lot.
чтож,я играла в игру 6 часов. 6! я думала,что мы уйдем с sai из этого кошмара,а он просто не пошел со мной. то есть, я играла 6 часов,чтоб потом начать плакать? скажите мне,что есть концовка где он уходит с главной героиней,прошу. Я не выдержу этого. Дайте мне прохождение,где будут все концовки. Я хочу перепройти на эту хорошую концовку. Данная концовка для меня считается плохой. игра класс,то жду саю с гг 10000000000000/10
К сожалению, нет концовки, в которой вы уходите с саем. Однако я думаю, что мы встретимся с ним снова в будущих главах, так как он также проводит ритуалы. И извините, если грамматика плохая, я использовал гугл-переводчик/There is not an ending where you leave with sai unfortunately. However i think that we will meet him again in future chapters since he also does rituals.
I like this game especially when listening to relaxing music while roaming around the house. And i also like the color in environments to match the mood.This game put a lot of work . 5/5
Man, this is the best game I've ever played for a long time. Great story (and the backstory of Knife), absolute beautiful scenery (feels like that one Undertale scene again), and the soundtrack is just, perfect. Lil secrets here and there, unsettling + tense scenes and the mysterious feel of it all. This is absolutely wonderful. I'm looking forward to the following chapters of this gem.
can someone help me? I've been stuck in facility for around an hour and I don't know how to fix the elevator or drain the water. I have a bucket, the diamond, square, and star valves. What do I do?
the valves and bucket are probably for an alternate end (which is temporarily removed) and the only way to fix the lift is to fix the electrical panel with the fuses.
This game was one of my favourites. Good creepy story and up to that beautiful scenery. Many types of playstyle made this game entertaining for longer sesions. I will be waiting for another chapters. And to those who hadn't played it yet, it's worth it
I cried with the ending, four hours of learning how to move, which, wasn't really easy due to my lack of sleep, and then that ending? Perfect game, loved it. But still, made me cry.
Idk. I don't think that puzzle have a right answer. This puzzle can be skipped. It is enough to use the "star" valve for the "pentagon" and collect all other valves.
Okay, wow. I've played Project Kat for the first time a few years ago and thought: "okay, it's good for the start". And I actually thought that there will be more stories with Kat, but recently I understood that it was only the prologue. Now I've played Paper Lily (finished it in 4h omg) on a true ending and I'm really glad that I found that game. It's a great job! Though it was a little bit weird that we didn't have a lot of interactions with Sai, only a few lines. I would like to know him better than that and I hope he will become our companion in the next chapters too.
Also... thanks a lot for these autosaves you made (I mean that stuff when you do something dumb, die bcs of that and load near to that part instead of the latest saving). I really appreciate them.
Really liked that game and the prologue. But sometimes I don't really know if some actions are meaningful (like I didn't kill the worm that moths wanted me to kill, but I have no idea is it userful or not), which is why I'd say that you should do more stuff like "your choice is important even if it's just in the little things that won't interfere to complete the game". And I guess that's all I wanted to say.
Many thanks for the authors of this game! It's really cool!
Just use the 25 and 15 from down below. If you try to pick it up a couple times it pushes past Sai's complaints. I'm sure nothing bad will happen- you don't need lights or containment- right?

Thank you so much for this incredible game, I look forward to seeing what else you bring to the table.
And Rune is cool.
I like Rune.
P.S. Huge thank you for adding a skip option for the spikes. They didn't ruin my enjoyment of the game in any way but I always struggle with these kind of puzzles and get frustrated with them, so I really appreciate having that option so I can push on with the story if I'm really having trouble.
is there going to be an update on lag? i really like the game but it is too laggy for me and makes the game puzzles really hard to do, even the ones that arent even that hard. TvT
I made an account literally just to comment this, but love playing this game even though i kept getting frustrated at every skill based puzzle, you guys made such an amazing game and i cant wait to play chapter 2!
also huge shout out to the person who made the chapter 1 guide, ur the best
why would that vibe make you drop the game
also the spike puzzles are skippable
I downloaded this game right after finding Itch. I thought I would quit after a few minutes, but I got really intrigued. This game has great art, gameplay, PUZZLES, and a very well thought and interesting storyline. The game has the perfect mix of horror and story, with nothing being obnoxious! I have already played this 3 times and I have found no glitches other than a camera glitch when entering the forest on the second playthrough. Paper Lily is very well and thoroughly created, a LOT of respect going to the devs for their attention to details. It makes the game even more fun to play. The music is also insanely awesome, so many emotions are portrayed through them! I hope one day that this game blows up! Good luck and I'm waiting eagerly for Chapter 2!

Take care of yourself!
To be honest, the game touched me so much that when I finished it, I had to take a break just to cry, it was four AM and my mother was asking why I was crying.

Paper Lily and Project Kat now have a special place in my heart, and thank you so much for creating the games.
should've made the save crow a raven, so it could be a saven
I want to laugh and cry at the same time, good one.
I don’t know if you came up with this, but either way I’m gonna assume you did, but damn you’re a genius in comedy
i'm on MacOS and it says the game is damaged and can't be opened ):
Try downloading it on the Itch app
There are a few tutorials to avoid the ''App is damaged and can't be opened'', online, they involve Terminal commands, but I believe they are safe, try searching for one, it'll fix the problem!
Just finished chapter one. GAH! I can't wait for more but I also know that there's a lot I missed so I can always go back and find the rest of the stuff. Love the replay value. All of the characters are soooo cute.
When is the steam release??
Ok but seriously, when is v1.1 coming out? I NEED MORE SAVE SLOTS
As a workaround, you can just copy out and in files from your save directory, even during the game.
True, but then it makes a mess and it’s hard to find the correct save file
I played Project Kat before this and loved it, so far I'm one hour in the game and I'm having a blast!
I've made a video on project Kat and Paper Lily, hope your game blows up! <3
El juego me encanto solo q me la pese usando el traductor pues soy de Ecuador y solo esta en ingles seria genial que a ya traducciones
Love this game too much.... I just finished and I love it!!
Babe, wake up. "Paper Lily - Chapter 1" is here.
Happy to see the game releasing!
I haven't played the game yet, but. I wanted to note something cute. (to me atleast) The name is called Paper Lily and the girl in the cover art (I'm assuming she's lily) has blonde hair. (maybe more white?) My crush has blonde hair and is named Lilly. Just an extra l in her name but I thought that was cute. Ight, good night. I am going to play this beautiful looking game tomorrow morning, I will edit or reply to this comment with my thoughts depending on how far I get. Looks awesome from what I've seen so far!!! :)
Not played yet?
I'm totally hooked! There's some scuff at the first 45 minutes but I don't want to replay it from the beginning so...here's the video.
I love this game and can't wait to see more of it.
I can see the underlying themes of depression and isolation, and learning to get over them and come out of your shell.
I think that's a great theme to explore and I look forward to seeing what you do with it in the next chapter.
I'm stuck on the lamp quiz. I am so bad at these, I've been at it for longer than the entire game is supposed to take and I can't find any guides online T.T
If you go to the Train Station, you can pick up scissors from a seat inside the building (It will look like a white star on a seat), and then use the scissors at Daylight Gate to cut the wires from the lamps. You can also check out this guide made by a few cool dudes if you ever get stuck again.
OMG thank you so much you're my hero, I already have the scissors I just didn't think to use them. My deepest thanks!
No problem.
So this is where the stable diffusion rabbit hole leads to, an entire underground community, lol
After reading this comment several times, we still have no idea what you mean, can you elaborate? ^^;
'InvokeAI', it lead me here, I didn't even know this place existed, until I went hunting (for ages) for a really good stable diffusion model. You can get 'InvokeAI' for free here, which lead me to discover this entire 'itch' platform.
The "Potrick Snap" game led me here XD
You make it sound cryptic but you basically just stumbled upon an indie game market it's not any different from steam or GOG so rest assured we're not that far deep in the iceberg you've got a long way down for the obscure platforms.
we chill tho (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧

(srry for my english lol)
1000000/10
I just used the bucket to drain the water in the facility!! I repeatedly went from the water to the bathroom until it gave me a cutscene.
Paper Lily is even more fun! It’s beyond amazing! I love the art and storyline (so far).
But I’m stuck in Miss Knives house. When I try to get the golden eye from the girl in the painting, she chases Lacie, and I don’t know which way to run. Can anyone help me, please? I’d appreciate your help a lot.
Just try running on the left as much as possible, this is where the exit is. If anything, you can try this guide made by a cool dude
чтож,я играла в игру 6 часов. 6!

When is chapter 2? Can't wait
the ending is jusstttttt omggggggggggggg, can't wait for chapter 2

the valves and bucket are probably for an alternate end (which is temporarily removed) and the only way to fix the lift is to fix the electrical panel with the fuses.
The valves puzzle can be solved and you have everything you need for it ^^
i do 40 + 15 to get 55 it still doesnt work what do i do? do i have a glitch
i had the glitch also but i put 40+5 & 20-10 which worked
Really? Where do you find the second pentagon valve?
im stuck too, and the primal demon catches me off guard.
This game was one of my favourites. Good creepy story and up to that beautiful scenery. Many types of playstyle made this game entertaining for longer sesions. I will be waiting for another chapters. And to those who hadn't played it yet, it's worth it
I cried with the ending, four hours of learning how to move, which, wasn't really easy due to my lack of sleep, and then that ending? Perfect game, loved it. But still, made me cry.
I've been wanting for the demo release for a LONG time and lemme say it did not disappoint!!
dark vibes with the right amount of weird and quirky characters, definitely waiting for the next chapter :3
Idk. I don't think that puzzle have a right answer. This puzzle can be skipped. It is enough to use the "star" valve for the "pentagon" and collect all other valves.
If you're still stuck on that puzzle or curious about the answer, please feel free to use this guide I wrote up!
All 4 slots must be filled while also having the sum of 55
Okay, wow. I've played Project Kat for the first time a few years ago and thought: "okay, it's good for the start".

are there jumpscares in this game?
let's just say there is one creepy section, but with no jumpscares
help
i cant complete the fuse puzzle
i tried everything that i could
even watched a gameplay on youtube on the fuse puzzle and still cant complete it
what do i do?
Just use the 25 and 15 from down below. If you try to pick it up a couple times it pushes past Sai's complaints. I'm sure nothing bad will happen- you don't need lights or containment- right?
i did 40+5 & 20-10
