Games like Project Kat - Paper Lily Prologue

Steam reviews

What players say

Players overwhelmingly praise this free, short prologue for its atmosphere, art and multiple endings, though it is very brief and some find the writing thin.

Most reviewers recommend the game and describe it as a short, cozy-creepy pixel horror RPG that punches above its price. Many players enjoy the pixel art, the music and the unsettling atmosphere, and several say it gets them to jump or feel uneasy. Puzzles are described as simple but satisfying, and the many dead ends and alternate endings encourage replay, with players hunting for every achievement. The main complaint is length: most finish it in one to two hours and wish there was more. Some find the story and dialogue underwritten and the puzzle logic arbitrary, and a few mention a missing option to hide the text box or a controls bug. Many reviewers say it works well either before or after Paper Lily Chapter 1, though a few felt it did not connect as strongly as expected. Recent reviews show no differences worth noting.

Who it suits

Players who like short, atmospheric pixel horror, quirky characters and replaying for different endings, especially if they want something free and quick.

Who should skip it

Players wanting a long, fully developed story or deep gameplay should skip it, since it is a short prologue with thin writing.

Short vs. long playtime: Players who finished the game in around an hour often feel it is simply too short, while those who hunted for all endings and achievements over several hours enjoyed the exploration more.
