As soon as I was pitched to preview an “unannounced game from the creators of N+,” I was in.

You pretty much get an idea of it all through the trailer, but if you haven’t heard of lily’s world XD, it’s basically a psychological thriller about a girl named Lily, who went missing in the early 2000s. After finding her laptop, you snoop around and see if you can discover clues to figure out what happened to her.
