Three Lilies and Their Ghost Stories

This visual novel contains suicide from a height, familial death, bullying, vomiting, discussions of terminal illness (cancer), animal death, suggestive content, and climate change speculation. Player discretion is advised.

As long as humans exist, so will their ghosts. Three different areas, three different decades, three different tales. Join our lesbian protagonists on their supernatural adventures—and witness how thin the line separating us from the afterlife truly is.
