About

Lovely Lady RPG is an indie RPG video game created by Mia Cain (@MiaCain2001 on X / Twitter), which follows "Ghost," a woman who has forgotten her real name, as she wakes up to a hole in her ceiling and a "cosmic space orb" embedded in her chest. She then wanders the world of the game unsure of who she is, interacting with various characters. The game has been compared to Disco Elysium in terms of its in-game dialogue option graphics, and has been described as having sapphic undertones. The game was released in early September 2024 and gained a fan following over the course of the following weeks, while some people disparaged the game's writing, calling it "Reddit" and juvenile, among other criticisms.

History

Mia Cain announced the release of Lovely Lady RPG alongside the Itch.io link[2] to buy the game on X / Twitter[1] and Tumblr[3] on September 7th, 2024, gathering over 700 notes in two weeks. The game follows a transgender anthropomorphic mouse-woman in a settling akin to 1930s Britain.

The official description of the game reads as follows:

Ok listen up. Lovely Lady RPG is a game about wandering around and just sort of seeing what happens. After waking up with a hole in her ceiling, a cosmic space Orb embedded in her chest and no recollection of basically anything, Ghost sets out to continue her life as best she can.

It certainly seems to wear its influences on its sleeves.

I try not to rag on indie games, especially for their writing when one of the main draws of indie games is that they can and should appeal to niche audiences. Though it seems pretty clear that all of the people ragging on it just saw someone on Twitter say something positive about it and then reacted the same way all strangers on Twitter do with no interest in playing it for themselves.

Like, this is the description the creators gave for their game as the sales pitch. Just the way it's written should clue people in for what they're getting into.

If furry Disco Elysium-lite for Tumblr users sounds like a good time then Lovely Lady RPG should be right up your alley.
