About the game
Lily is a typical teenage girl — dramatic, emotional, awkward — but she’s hiding a secret, and her laptop holds the key. Your explorations into this stranger’s life soon reveal a dark truth, but your actions won’t stay unnoticed for long. Can you find Lily before those who took her find you?
DIVE INTO THE EARLY WEB
Lily’s laptop is full of clues to her whereabouts. Comb through her blog, decode hidden messages and reconnect with her childhood friends to piece together her story. Lily wasn’t the only one with something to hide: other forces are at work to stop you, and even your own computer isn’t safe from intrusion…
AUTHENTIC CRINGE
lily’s world XD tells a story of friendship, body image and how it feels to grow up as a lonely nerd online, featuring real photos of the developer and her friends’ teenage selves.
