Lisa: The Painful is a 2014 post-apocalyptic role-playing video game developed and published by American indie studio Dingaling Productions. The game was written, designed, and composed by Austin Jorgensen, and was released for Windows, OS X, and Linux on December 15, 2014.[1] Lisa: The Painful is the second installment in the Lisa trilogy, preceded by Lisa: The First (2012), and followed by Lisa: The Joyful (2015), a standalone DLC that concludes the series.
In Lisa: The Painful, the player controls Brad Armstrong, a balding, middle-aged man with a troubled past who journeys through the wasteland of Olathe in search of Buddy, his adoptive daughter. Along the way, he is forced to make choices that permanently affect both his own well-being and that of his party members. The game received generally favorable reviews, with praise for its darkly comedic writing and soundtrack. Expanded versions of Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful, bundled under the title of Lisa: Definitive Edition, were released on July 18, 2023.
