Even though INDIE Live Expo 2025 was last week, there are still tons of amazing games to look forward to and check out. One of these games happens to be SRPG The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily.
Duchess Scarlet’s irrelevant innocence can’t beat the false murder accusations, and now she faces the Imperial Kingdom’s guillotine. With microseconds to spare, a time-traveling livestreamer from the future named Lily rescues Scarlet from a bloody fate, and the pair sets out together to clear Scarlet’s name.
Fight falsehoods through media manipulation in a pre-Internet era as Lily’s modern-day broadcasting blimp purveys persuasive propaganda from above. Convince enemy generals to move troops to different parts of the battlefield, then flank their weak spots to increase the odds of victory. Sow seeds of doubt to lower their morale and incur defection.
Defeat enemy battalions and free captured prisoners to boost Scarlet’s skills. Convince conflicted opponents to join Scarlet’s cause and increase her ranks. Deepen bonds with allies through conversation to both improve army strength and unlock new Unison skills, and amass an army large enough (and trustworthy enough) to topple the Imperial Kingdom’s reign.
The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily is coming to PC on Thursday, July 24, 2025
