Hello!
Sorry to hear you cannot receive money from itch.io.
Will it be possible to purchase the game on alternative DRM-free platforms like GOG?
I dislike using Steam and would prefer another way to financially support the game.
Thanks! :)

also I think your game is a gateway drug, im gonna wipe all my saves and replay this game a million times

Sorry to comment again, but I just wanted to let you know 'why am I in space wtf 2.0' is my friend who also LOVED your game, and also you're my BFF now, also my name is Cross and I think this is important because we should 100% be on a first name basis, also make more games pls (if u want of course who am I to force you) also ur really cool thx for making this game also bye bye now

For the past two days, I watched my good friend, whyamIinspacewtf, play this BEAUTIFUL video game. And let me just say, my life is forever changed. The intricate design of the video game itself is like no other. This intriguing video game allowed me to feel things I have never felt before. This game has created and opened a new part of my mind. It made me think in ways I have never thought before. This is the greatest game to ever reach the hands of mankind. The psychological horrors that take place in this game are like no other. Psychological horror may be the best horror creation of our time. It is so amazing how this very genre represents horrors and insanity of the human mind. This game, especially, portrays neurodivergence and horror and insanity in such amazing gameplay. The amount of thought and mystery behind this game is absolutely outstanding. This may be the best game I have ever seen in my entire life. Although I only watched someone play it, it is so immersing that I couldn't help but feel like I was watching an amazing movie. This game made me think deeply into the background of the characters, and especially the mysteries behind Lila. All of the different endings, all portraying a different approach to this psychological madness that this game holds. I am going to be on me death bed in 70-80 years still thinking about this game. This game has made me want to learn about the human mind itself. The psychological aspect in this game is just so incredibly amazing to me, I cannot get over to it. This game does and amazing job of showing what the human mind is capable of. The horror it can put you through. The insanity, the pain, its unstoppable. The human mind is the most powerful thing. This game shows just that. I thank you for creating this masterpiece. I will never forget it. It has burned itself a special place in my mind.

Hi Garage_Heathen, I just wanted to let you know that I think your game is the most amazing game that literally has ever been in existence.. ever. Playing through your game I said many phrases such as, "What the f**ck!?!? WHY IS THIS SO GOOD!??!" and "This is the greatest game and story I have ever seen in my life.." I believe your game is the video game equivalent of how many drug addicts would describe heroin, its such a good feeling, the best in the world, and I'm scared that there will never be another feeling like it. I mean what I said, I really don't think I have or ever will play a game better than this game throughout the entire duration of my existence. I've developed an interest in psychology recently that I wish to pursue because of a band named TOOL. This game's use of psychology mixed with occultism is one of if not the greatest things I've ever witnessed in my entire goddamn life. Everything about this game is perfect, I wish it was actually possible to give something an 2M+/10 because, for this game, I would. I have never had a more fun time trying to understand a game more than this game. I am three achievements away from 100%ing your game and I've had BLAST doing it so far. You have created the most amazing fictitious world that there ever will be. I'm sorry for the unprofessionalism within my writing, I am 16 years old. When I'm 90 I will say to my grandkids, "Who's Lila?" and their gonna be like, "What the f**k grandpa take your meds you old sack of s**t!"  I just wanted to say that. P.S. I LOVE YOU (But legally not in a s*xual way since I don't want to get you arrested since I'm 16) P.S. P.S. I STILL LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

will there be a patch to make the daemon work on steam deck? Tho it’s listed as “verified,” everyone posting on the forums there says the daemon dlc isn’t compatible on deck or its Linux desktop. thank u in advance! <3 

i havent been completely blown away by a game in a long time. i thought i knew what i was getting into but it was so much more than that. 

"And the angel's wouldn't help you. Because they've all gone away."

Wow, JUST WOW!

Always enjoy this kind of art style.

i dont know

I just recently finished this game, and I must say that I was very satisfied to complete it without watching tutorials (Which cost me twice as long but it was worth it)

The more I got into it, the more I became interested in the plot rather than the gameplay. Let's hope William stays well and goes to the psychologist after this. 

Without a doubt, for a future thesis I would love to give this title a space!

hey guys,
has anyone noticed/understood who "Jachin" is? I met this name only once, at the moment when we are standing in front of the veil, behind which the game continues for the Prince

Reminiscent of the bygone era of surreal 90s point and click games, "Who's Lila?" brings me back to a time when I first played Darkseed; I was far too young to play that game, let alone understand the 'undertones' (although the game isn't subtle enough to really call its beats undertones, but when you're a preteen you still don't understand them), but I think that added to its charm for me. This game doesn't try to make sense, it doesn't spoon feed the plotline to the player, it just lets you experience it and figure it out on your own. I honestly still don't really understand it, but that's not a bad thing! In fact it's why I love this game so much. There's nothing in this game that is absolute, except for the atmosphere, which is absolutely unsettling at the best of times, 10/10 surrealist horror.

this is seriously one of the best games I've played. there are so many possibilities and details. I was many times astounded when I went to try something and there was actually new dialogue and sometimes even entire endings. what stood out was how natural and well written the dialogues are. simply impressive

Most Lynch-inspired games/media falls short, either in terms of sticking too close to Lynch's work and just mimicking it, or going the other direction and just not having enough substance to back up the dream logic and feeling a bit random.

Not this game. Though "inspired by David lynch's works", it's wholly its own thing, exploring its own concepts and doing so in a really interesting setting that fits in with what you'd expect out of a video game.

The game gets a bit meta but remains grounded in story and setting and the characters presented in it are great. Really interesting concept.

Thank you for making this!

Hi Garage Heathen! My name is Amy and I am currently doing my honours degree on psychological horror games and theatre. I came across Who's Lila not too long ago and I fell in love with it! I even gave it a mention in my thesis. I would love to ask you some questions about the game and the making of it. If it is ok, how should I go about contacting you?

Thanks for making this awesome game :)

What an insane game!! I have no idea what to think, or how to interpret it! It's a fascinating take on the point and click genre, highly recommend! Here's my first episode of experiencing it!

Are the stories from Tgotchi, Who's Lila?,  and Shastye connected in a deeper level? Or is it purely superficial? The forest of sycamores is referenced in Tgotchi and plays a major role in Who's Lila? and Shastye. The mushrooms appear both in Shastye and WL? too. Am I in the correct path or am I just looking too much into everything? It seems very intentional.

This game is incredible. It has instantly become one of my favourites. It's creative, enthralling and there's really nothing like it out there. Are you planning on using the expression mechanic in a future project? Its truly unique and I'm amazed that you did this all by yourself.

Also, did you use a drawing tablet to animate? If you did, could you tell me which model? I've been trying to get into animation and game-making for a long time but money is short and I want to get something worth its price.

Anyways, I'll keep up with your new releases! You really are talented.

MacOS version?

Any chance you releasing an android version?

i tought the thumbnail was jerma for a sec

It's difficult for me to express emotions.

I envy other people. They make faces naturally, but I have to make a conscious decision each time I move a muscle.

Every morning I go to the bathroom to rehearse what my face is going to show today.

This is relatable to me rather than intriguing or creepy. I'm autistic, and autistic people have what is called a "mask," which is where we act like allistic (non-autistic) people in order to survive. For me, masking included practising my facial expressions in the mirror. I couldn't frown for years and had to pull my lips down with my fingers. I only really got the hang of frowning near the start of adulthood. But even though I'm pretty good at showing socially accepted facial expressions now, it's still an extremely conscious action. I don't just naturally smile when I'm happy, scowl when I'm angry, or frown when I'm sad. I had to teach myself to do these things, and I have to allocate some of my concentration to monitoring/controlling my face whenever I'm around people.

So that concept in the game doesn't really stand out to me, because it's my normal. However, I really liked the idea of controlling the protagonist's face rather than choosing dialogue. The story is also interesting. Good job!

By the way, I apologise if the first part of my comment comes across as criticism. I just wanted to share my perspective as an autistic person with alexithymia.

Hey, I purchased the Steam version, but I just wanted to say, this game was absolutely brilliant, I had a fantastic time going through the entirety, hopefully I saw everything. The way you paced the story, the way those tense moments pay off, those beautifully done scenes, had me absolutely engrossed. Thank you for the trip, I wish I could ask you a few questions without spoiling things on a public comments page, but I suppose some questions are left unanswered for a reason :)
