In the Shade of Lilies (Psychological Horror)
A downloadable game for Windows
“I would I would be with you,
I am and always will,
though sleepy day or wakeful night,
here on my lilied hill.”
From the moment we are born, we are instilled with certain ideas regarding the limits of realism and fantasy. But what is the exact difference between this? Is there even one? And more importantly, do you still think you can tell the real from the unreal?

Another gameplay from Z9GN <3
A playthrough from 1Clef2Pieces of my game along another visual novel😁
aun no lo he jugado pero me gustaria , pero esta en español?
Hola, gracias por interesarte en nuestro juego<3
Aún no hemos lanzado versión en español pero debido al apoyo que ha recibido podríamos lanzarla en poco tiempo ^^
We're glad you liked the art and the story since all our effort was put into this game. Thank you for playing our visual novel<3
So sorry for my late reply!
I'm glad you liked the visual novel. We really appreciate that you enjoyed the story and even cried with it, we did our best to make this game. Thank you! ♥♥♥♥
I can't even press play, mine just wont work. Really annoyed expected more.
I am very sorry that you had this bad experience. However, the game has been tested in different machines and by a lot of people so it's not a general issue. Could you please describe your problem in deep?
And just in case, what are the specifications of your device?
When I entered the game I tried to press all the options but all of them would not work and I just stayed on screen where the play, load, and save was. also tried to exit it and play again but to my disappointment it still didn't work, I just kept pressing play over and over without it doing anything. I'm using windows
Also I'm sorry if I sounded rude earlier I typed that complaint like at 2 am
The title screen works with the arrow keys and Enter button, maybe you tried to use your mouse and that's why it didn't work?
And don't worry, I understand how frustrating it can be ^^
I really like the story of this game and the art is really beautiful and has such a great dark and eery video to it. I'm still a bit lost on what exactly the story is portraying. I would love it if anyone could comment on what interpret the story as.
I'm very grateful for your playthrough! The game tries to convey the fine line between what we consider fantasy and reality. It has two endings with entirely different meanings which can be interpreted as the player decides ♥♥♥♥
Oh ok, thank you so much for responding.
I am not crying I just have something in my eye...This game really is a tear-jerker of emotions. I had no idea what I was going to play I thought possibly that it was even going to be a horror game from the almost ink blot like starting page, but it was a surprise how touching and sweet this game was. I felt so many emotions and yet the strongest I felt was love.
It would have been nice to get to know Silvia a bit more and the background story behind her but it was nevertheless a short and sweet visual novel.
I hope you create more games.
Thank you so much for the playthrough! The game is short since we didn't have enough time to develop a longer story as it was going to be submitted for a jam.
And I really appreaciate the comments from people saying they like my games, you have my eternal gratitude ♥♥♥
