The Review
Brad was in the right by killing Marty.

Really good. The creator said they made it because their ex GF had similar trauma, and they wanted to show what trauma can do to someone. I think they conveyed that extremely well.

There is no combat, no clear objective, just the unsettling experience of navigating Lisa’s subconscious. The grotesque figures she encounters are not just enemies. They are manifestations of something far worse, distorted echoes of abuse and suffering. The game’s sound design amplifies the unease, using eerie silence, distorted music, and unnerving audio cues to create an oppressive atmosphere. Every interaction, no matter how small, feels significant, like a glimpse into something too painful to fully comprehend.

it's short and free, so there's no reason not to play it if you either want to play (or are already a fan of) the LISA series, or enjoy Yume Nikki-like games.

Comentario Analítico: "LISA: The First"
Previo al estreno de LISA: The Painful, que acabaría siendo la obra insignia de Dingaling, tuvimos un pequeño vistazo a la psiquis de Lisa Armstrong en LISA, posteriormente llamado LISA: The First, elaborado en RPG Maker 2k3 y fuertemente inspirado en la dinámica ambigua y onírica de Yume Nikki.
Estéticamente denota precariedad, algunos bordes en los interiores no encajan entre sí y es sencillo llegar a partes del mapa que deberían ser inaccesibles. No obstante tiene su encanto, es esta misma precariedad la que abunda en varias de las obras más imaginativas e interesantes surgidas de su motor.
Y así es; LISA: The First aprovecha la ambiguedad de Yume Nikki para contar una historia no tan ambigua, una sobre abuso infantil. Por el camino también introduce a las tan infames arañas, una suerte de enemigo que con tan solo tocarlo te regresa al principio del nivel, lo que puede resultar frustrante pero sirve para aportar un ligero grado de dificultad a un subgénero que tiende a ser jugablemente nulo.
¿En conclusión? Un clásico que posteriormente sirvió como base para LISA: The Painful, uno de los mayores exponentes de RPG Maker.

The game is about Lisa's trauma. It's not very subtle with its themes, but if you like games like Yume Nikki you'll probably enjoy it. It's free, and super short too.

Lisa: the First is the tragic story of a young girl named Lisa and her father Marty, told in a similar way Yume Nikki told it's story - absurdist dreamlike RPG maker levels with symbolism everywhere. This game is important to understanding several moments in Lisa: the Painful, so I'd recommend playing Lisa: the first for that alone.
It's impressive how much characterization all 3 characters get with so little explicitly told, the audio direction is cool. Give it a go, it's free.
