Lily of the Valley

I was not prepared for the emotional rollercoaster that Lily of the Valley took me on. This is a visual novel, but it is not a romance or a lewd visual novel like most of them are. This is a pretty hard hitting and sad story about death, loss, and acceptance that really got to me. I will say right off the bat that if you have recently experienced the tragic loss of someone special in your life, I am not sure playing this game is a great idea as it can really strike a nerve. However, with that being said, I guess that does show just how brilliant the story is here.

Can You Ever Go Home?

The story of Lily of the Valley is hard to talk about as I want to avoid spoilers at all costs so I will give you the basic summary of what is going on here. Our main character is a man in his 30s who finds out that his mother has suddenly passed away. He currently lives in London and must travel back to Wales, where he was originally from to attend her funeral and deal with her passing. While “home” he comes across a strange girl in the valley who seems to know a lot about his mother and he feels like this girl is very familiar.

Guilt

One of the hardest parts of the story Lily of the Valley was telling was when we would feel the sadness, anger, and even guilt that the main character has. Mainly for living so far away from his family and not making as much of an effort to be with them as he should. If you have ever lived away from family and avoided making a call, made an excuse not to visit, and so on, this can hit pretty close to home, I know that it certainly did for me. The game is not going to take you too long to get through, you are probably looking at the two-hour mark, depending on the choices you make.

The Beauty Of The Valley

As far as the presentation of Lily of the Valley goes it truly is remarkable. The game has this kind of watercolor look to it and the drawings really are gorgeous. The character's faces and eyes are far more expressive than I was expecting and that along with the fantastic writing really does make the story hit you so much harder. There is even a very fitting soundtrack in this game and I felt that it complimented the story pretty much perfectly.

End Of Days!

There is one flay that Lily of the Valley has and sadly it is a pretty big one and that is once you have completed the game, it locks you out of your save file! I am not sure what bug caused this, but you have to go into the game's files to delete your save if you want to play the game again and that is a ton of hassle and I am sure something that some people may not be able to comfortable doing.

Pros:

• The main character is very well written
• I liked the mystery aspect of the story
• It has a fantastic twist that I legit did not expect
• The art and music are amazing and go great with the story

Cons:

• The save game thing is a major pain in the butt
• It is not the kind of game you want to play if you are feeling depressed that is for sure!
