Emily Sondering

yeah so the idea for it came out of watching horror youtubers like what happened to reddit user r slash da da da or like the creepiest dark mystery and i always had this idea what if you were the person investigating that mystery for the first time or what if you were the subject of that mystery and that's what really spurred the idea of lily's world xd you find this young girl's computer and

At first, everything seems normal. It's very girly. It almost has like a kitschy aesthetic. You talk to her crush. You learn the inside jokes with her best friend. But eventually, you find messages addressed to you, the player. So it has fourth wall breaks. And you really dive deeply into this story about Lily's life and what has happened to her. I would say...

To compare it to any similar media, if you like the substance, you would definitely like Lily's World XD. It talks a lot about beauty standards, growing up, teenage angst, being chronically online. It is definitely a weird game, but if you're down to get weird, you should play it.

Yes, I actually am. I have been compared to that game. I've played both games, by the way, and I enjoyed both. I would say that game was not the main inspiration game, but I really do like that. If I were to point to a main inspiration game, it's probably either Simulacra or Emily is Away. Ironically, I know the game is called my name.

Simulacra is a horror game that takes place inside a phone, and Emily is Away is a narrative game that takes place entirely inside of AIM.

Yeah, I would definitely say that every game I've ever made in my life is a self-insert for myself. And in Lily's World XE, I guess it is a literal self-insert because my face is in it. But it's also a metaphorical self-insert. So, for example, you know, Lily talks about things that she liked in the early 2000s. And those are all things that I also liked. She talked about insecurities.

Those are the insecurities I had when I was a teenager. For me it was really important to actually put myself into Lily both like physically and mentally because You know, when I was a teenager, I felt very misunderstood. I felt othered. I felt I don't know. I just I never always fit in.

And I think that that's what I want this game to be, to have teenagers play it and feel like it's OK to be themselves. It's OK to have weird niche interests and it's OK to not look a certain way.
