Emily Pitcher is a content creator (known as SonderingEmily) who just dropped a new psychological horror game on PC. It’s called lily’s world XD. The game is so heavily inspired by her actual childhood and upbringing that you’ll see real, embarrassing photos of her and her friends during their teenage years.
lily’s world XD lets you investigate the disappearance of the teenager
Lily is a typical teenager living in 2004. She’s dramatic, emotional, awkward, and has big dreams. She also has enough embarrassing internet history to make anyone who grew up around the early web physically recoil.
You can read her diary, go through old conversations, message her friends, customize her blog, and check out her selfies. Poke around her digital life and reconnect with people from her past to work out what happened to her before.
But you aren’t the only person accessing the computer. The laptop starts sending messages directly to you. While you’re searching for Lily, the people who took her may also be looking for you. That’s the kind of fourth-wall breaks and blogs that the game uses so that you get to know the characters.
The early-2000s setting is a huge part of the game’s personality. Through the real pictures, the game captures authentic early-2000s fashion and phases. And there are elements like sparkly GIFs, glitter text, AIM chats, chain emails, and cringy personal blogs. Take a look at the trailer for lily’s world XD and see for yourself!
lily’s world XD transitions from nostalgic early-web scouring into a psychological horror pretty quickly. You rummage through someone’s old digital life only to realize that it’s rummaging back through yours.
lily’s world XD is available on PC through Steam. Developed by SonderingEmily and published by Kwalee, the regular price is $11.99, but there’s a 20% launch discount running for the week.
