History VideoGame / PaperLily

* {{Animorphism}}: During a dead end, Lacie gets turned into a fish by the other world to replace the one she killed.

* BlessedWithSuck: Miss Knives [[spoiler:was a blind girl that one day miraculously regained her sight. This blessing would turn into a curse once people accuse her (and her mother) of being witches and burn them at the stake]].

* BurnTheWitch:
** [[spoiler:This is what happened to Miss Knives after she was deemed a witch.]]
** [[spoiler:Also happens to Lacie if you burn the blessings in the wrong order.]]

* CuteMonsterGirl: Alba and the moth girl fall into this category. Miss Knives too depending on who you ask.

* FaintingSeer: In dead end 1-10, Lacie gets visions of a mysterious woman and [[spoiler:dies afterwards]].

* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Will happen to Lacie if you stray too far during her dreams.

* {{Hikikomori}}: Due to her condition, Lacie did not go outside of her house for months; her visit to the cafeteria at the beginning of the game was her first outing in a long while.
* IChooseToStay: [[spoiler:Sai]] decides to stay in the other world after [[spoiler:Lacie leaves through the door.]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Lacie's reason to go to the other world is to get rid of her condition and be able to interact properly with other people.

* LivingShadow: Primal demons, or simply primals, are shadowy creatures that lurk in abandoned places and will kill anything on sight.

* TheMothman: There are quite a few demons that heavily resemble humanoid moths.

* NoSocialSkills: Lacie has not interacted with anyone outside of Hiro and internet strangers for a long time, so while she can keep up a conversation, she struggles with bonding with people.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: The demons of the spirit realm come in a wide variety, ranging from almost human to full on monster in the dark. They're weak to holy salt (not table salt), they tend to be rather eccentric or obsessed with certain things, most of them will kill you if they discover that you're a human, and individual demons tend to have specific ways of dealing with them. There also seem to be specific types of demons that are common enough to be named, such as primal demons and moths.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Lacie can ditch Sai in the facility by escaping through a vent while he's holding a door open for her. It does not end well for either of them.

* TakenForGranite: During a dead end, Lacie gets turned into a statue by Kett.
* TokenHeroicOrc: Rune is a demon who is genuinely helpful to the player. They also note that most other demons will kill humans on sight.

''Paper Lily'' is a [=RPG=] horror game developed and created by [=Leef6010=] using Godot Engine, where you can solve each puzzle in multiple different ways.

It follows Lacie, a girl with an unknown condition that makes everyone avoid her. out of desperation to find answers, she follows the instructions of a mysterious golden letter that sends her to another world, where she could find a cure to her condition, or certain death.

** The Shadow Girl has a striking resemblance to [[VideoGame/ProjectKatPaperLilyPrologue Kat]], but this is never commented on and it is unclear what their relation is.

** 1-1. Against All Odds: The True Ending of the game. [[spoiler:Lacie and Sai manage to escape Miss Knive’s house and find an exit from the Facility, and Lacie receives door knob fragments from Spider that seem like they will give them a way to the lighthouse. Before leaving with her Return Knob, Sai suggest that instead of a list of things she wants to do before she dies, Lacie should make a list of things she should do a list of things she wants to do once she breaks out of her curse. Lacie takes this into consideration, and leaves back home after performing the Paper Lily ritual. Sai closes the door behind her and looks forward to seeing her again. We also get to see the hooded figure from Project Kat return to the Shadow Girl’s shop and, if we gave the Shadow Girl a pet, we can get a closer look at her.]]

*** If Lacie steps into the Fairy Ring with the Scissors, but without fulfilling the requirements to be able to escape, [[spoiler:she will be able to do most of the area normally. She will fbe able to free and befriend Aoi, a friendly demon who was also swallowed by the Fairy Ring but was unable to escape on her own. Lacie will befriend him, and will try to help her escape the Fairy Ring, while also learning more about him and the other world. However, even after managing to avoid dying to the mazes of fairy heads, Lacie and Aoi will come to a dead end. Lacie will suggest that Aoi melts through a shower drain, the only possible way out from where they are. But after not hearing about her for what feels like days, Lacie will lose hope and worry that she sent him to die. Lacie can not see Aoi panicking and trying to feed the mouth of the Fairy Ring in a desperate attempt to collapse it and escape, unaware that they missed the way out long ago.]]

** If you give a pet to the Shadow Girl, [[spoiler:we get a closer look to the Hooded Figure during the credits, and she also seems to be of similar appearance to Kat]]

* DoorOfDoom: There is an ominous, locked, big white door on Lacie’s dreamspace that can only be entered during a dead end. it is unknown what is on the other side of it.

* EldritchLocation: The spirit world has shades of this. Time doesn't seem to flow the same way, and geography is capable of looping or changing around in response to certain things.

* GuideDangIt: The way to escape the Fairy Ring is pretty hard to figure out on your own: [[spoiler:First you need to plug in the AC adapter to light the campfire and make Milion, Kosmo, and Alba appear, then you need 10 coins to buy all the fish from Alba, which means that you’ll have to get at least 2 coins from the Locked Site without getting to the other side, then you have to throw all 99 fish down the hole in the huge tree in the middle of the forest, and only once you’ve done that you can step into the Fairy Ring to be able to escape afterwards. If you got the scissors first that is.]]

** 1-12 What’s At Stake: After burning the blessings in the wrong order, [[spoiler:the house seemingly comes to life and the floor cracks underneath Lacie and Sai, mortally wounding Sai, and then tying Lacie to a stake, making sure she meets the same fate that Miss Knives did]]
