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.

I love Ghost. 3-4 headmates, armpit kink, depressed but we stay silly, woman after my own heart fr.
Had a great time with the game, still trying to hunt achievements. Wonderful writing, beautiful art. Inspired me to write more, and specifically to write more deranged(hot) women.
Thanks for making this!
This game is great, I did my first playthrough a few days ago and a few more after that and there's so much to love. Art, music, and writing are all amazing. I love the story, the world it presents, there's so many interesting questions about the setting of this place and how it came to be this way. Ghost and the Pulp Writer are my favorites, and it was so easy to become attached to them and want to make their lives just a bit better. The artbook is also a wonderful read, it's great seeing how the game changed behind the scenes as development went on.
Idk how I even found out about this game, but it's one of the greatest and most emotionally resonant stories I've experienced in a game ever. Thanks for such an unforgettable experience, Ghost will be the next "literally me" character for the foreseeable future.
Hello I played this game back in September and watching my friend play through the game now really reaffirmed how much this game means to me. When i first played the game I was having a lot of trouble physically obtaining the hrt i was already prescribed and had effectively been off meds for a few months + having sort of kinda temporality detransitioned during the first years of the pandemic really made me feel physically sick whenever the Nightmare said anything. The first nightmare sequence felt so fucking visceral and authentic, then I immediately go to the gender clinic, get utterly disgusted, and realize just how special this game was going to be for me. Now looking back I can also say this game was kind of a catalyst for me to start breaking away from a lot of mindsets that were keeping me from embracing myself. LLRPG feels so unabashedly celebratory of all the weird, scrungly, messy, and horny that people can be that it really changed my perception of what its “ok” to be, specifically as a trans woman. That i don’t need to keep fruitlessly chasing some vague reddit-trans idea of being this perfectly passing ball of uwu femininity. I guess what im saying is this game honestly taught me how to start unlearning shame.
Thank you two so much for making this game. My life unironically has been made better for playing it.
PEOPLE KEEP ASKING THIS SO CONGRATS ON FINALLY BEING THE PERSON TO GET ME OFF MY ARSE TO ACTUALLY MAKE IT PURCHASABLE SEPERATLY!https://das-kunstkollektiv.itch.io/lovely-lady-rpg-artbook
Beautiful and perfect and lovely omg
I just adore the writing in this! The world is just so REAL and lived-in. There's stuff that made me laugh a lot (Nasty Girl's dialogue and some of the silly dialogue you can choose) stuff that made my skin crawl (the interview ughhh) and stuff that made me a little teary (having a heart to heart with the Pulp Writer)
Speaking of I LOVE THAT SKRUNGLY LITTLE RAT she's literally perfect
I am definitely going to check out more games in the Lovely Ladyverse now, great work and thank you for making one of my favorite games of 2024!
I'm gonna be honest, I knew about this game for a while and was planning on playing it, but then twitter handpicked some screenshots and I like the goober I am decided to believe internet strangers instead of follow my heart. So now several months later I was bored on new years eve and gave it a shot.
I am a Trans woman who uses a Possum persona online, I live in the UK, rurally. I am incredibly gay and invested in literature. I have never in my life felt like a game was so specifically made for me, I was flip flopping between crying and making hysterical little gay whines whilst reading all of this, I've done two playthroughs so far and I don't intend to stop until I've gotten at least 90% of the achievements.
I want to thank Poppy and Mia so so much, you two have made something so incredibly special and close to my heart. I wish to carry this game with me for a long time and I will return to it as often as my heart allows me to. It's so full of soul and such personably relatable content, a life-changing experience for me <3
A little late, (since I played this around the time it got released and have been meaning to comment), but I wanted to thank the both of you for making this game. I don't think I've ever played a game so funny yet also viscerally upsetting at the same time, but coming out loving every second of it. I adored Ghost so much as a protagonist, she's such a funny rat. A lot of her silly dialogue options made me genuinely giddy when reading them in my head, and I felt for her a lot with all the garbage she has to go through in the course of the game.
I also really loved the art, absolutely beautiful art style and also delightfully silly when it needs to be. Genuinely glad I decided to buy the artbook alongside the game (loved the annotations in it, really gave more insight to the process than most artbooks I've read). Loved all the designs for the wacky animal people, in particularly The Sinner's. I enjoyed how normal she was presented in her first image, and then later just becomes this absolute tall, lanky, imposing creature (with the most impeccable dress sense) in the later drawings of her.
I'm eagerly looking forward to whatever project either of you will be working on in the future 🐀
This game has weaseled its way into one of my favourite games of all time, up there with the holy father Disco Elysium itself and Red Dead Redemption 2. Everything is just kinda perfect in a very tailored way, if that makes sense. As someone else said, it really does just make you feelseen. Like, I'm a scrungly little trans woman playing a game made by another scrungly little (dev you're scrungly in my mind now you can't fight this) trans woman. It's like meeting eyes with that one other driver at a stoplight that's dancing their ass off to whatever music, likeyeah, I get ya. That's so you, and that's also really me. There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said, but yeah, it's just beautiful to have such a proudly queer game, an outright microcosm of queer culture. It's written in, like, a lingua franca for transbians. And it's written really well too, and has motivated me on my own novel a ton just by seeing the sheer skill and heart. I'd strive to be more specific usually but it is just all around solid, it takes the style Disco Elysium set down and cranks it up a ton through an amplifier painted rainbow, and it works magnificently.
Probably heard this a million times, but absolutely keep doing what you're doing. This is far beyond just a cool narrative-driven game, it's a wonderful message that we're all here and we're queer, and we all have shit to deal with, but life is still beautiful, and w(omen)e are beautiful - even though the weird voice in our brains likes to object to that fact. Also that you should steal estrogen.
despite being trans and gay, i feel like this game may not be for me. but even so i wanted to say i really like the world design and setting, it has that kind of half-real quality that worms into my imagination in the best way. i admire you making something that so clearly resonates with a lot of people. if i do end up playing more of it i will be sure to comment and leave more of my thoughts <3
I tried to buy this game and the art book while it was on sale but the sale ended as I was paying for it. I paid the amount for the art book but since the sale expired I don't have access to it. And I don't have a way of paying the difference now without paying for another whole copy of the game. Could you message me?
I think one of the biggest takeaways I have from this game (and I'm gonna focus on that because I'll ramble about hundreds of other takeaways till the sheep come home) is that I now have a little statue in my brain I can turn my dysphoria into and tell it to fuck off.
The character that's based on is definitely not a joke and is still distressing and hurtful for a large part of the game (as is probably intended), but the way they'll occasionally just interject with their asinine bullshit and is either ignored or shut down in favour of something else is great. Like, you really don't have to listen to that worm in your brain and youcan tell it to go do one!
So thanks for that, you've made a trans girl's life significantly happier.
Hey, This is a slightly longer and heavier comment, but I kind of felt like I need to let everyone who made this game know about it.
I had been playing it sporadically and restarted after screwing up one of the quests, and just so happened to be playing through it around the election. The day after, when I was still in shock, I played through the pride parade section, and nearly burst into tears. This game has made me feel so seen and embodies that "keep moving forward" mentality so perfectly. I didn't think I could feel this sort of intimate solidarity so clearly, but you've given that, and for that I am so thankful.
This game is officially my favorite piece of art in terms of personal meaning. It feels like I'm talking to someone who's going through what am and telling me to keep going and There's no way to properly express how important that is to me.
This game is really really really good, Im not good at words but it hit me in ways that snuck up to me (esp the part with the psych, I brushed it off since "pff whatever Ive been through this before" and then it just kept forcing its way into my train of thought)
Its so.. real idk how else to describe it. I wish I could beam this game into everyones brain forcefully so theyd just,, *get* it but also I feel like this game was specifically made for me.
Also shout out to the hausschlangerl (which also snuck up on me childhood style) because of you I downed like 5 kipferl in the past 2 days
Also also would you be so kind as to email me the artbook after I find a way to donate 5 bucks to you

SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT

Meet the requirements of The Scrungly Woman, The Pale Specter and Hello Marigold! in one playthrough.
In the final dream, Marigold will speak directly to you and invite you take up her mantle.
If you accept, you will come into your full power and become the patron Saint of lesbians.
On day 2, submit a decent article to the Pulp Writer(you really can just bullshit it though, as long as you're sensible).
On day 3, submit a piece of fiction to the Pulp Writer. Whether you go to Pride or not, the Pulp Writer will walk with you on day 5.
On day 2, go to the cathedral and interact with the Sinner. Make sure you go to her flat at the end of the day.
On day 3, accompany her to the town archive.
On day 4, join her for a walk in the woods. She will join you for a walk on day 5.
On day 4 you automatically accept the quest to find The Weapon's missing sheep.
During this conversation, do not tell them you're a communist or they will not fully trust you.
At some point on day 4 when you have at least two actions left, go to the woods to find Parsnip (this is more likely to succeed if you have a hammer).
When you return the sheep, accept the Weapon's offer of tea.
At the conclusion of these events, simply invite the Weapon to walk with you and they will join you the following day.
NOTE: If you have been caught stealing from them, the Weapon will never trust you enough to have you round for tea :(
During Day 1, successfully convince Nasty Girl to flirt with the developer.
If you meet the conditions for a solitary walk on Day 5, the developer will return and the achievement will unlock.
Either fail to submit the article on day 2 or fail to submit the fiction on day 3 to avoid the Pulp Writer joining you.
Avoid talking to the Sinner at the cathedral on day 2 or neglect to attend either of her subsequent two dates to prevent the Sinner joining you.
Either get caught stealing from The Weapon, tell them you're a communist, fail to return their sheep, decline their tea invitation or simply leave at the end of tea without inviting them to avoid having the Weapon join you.
Satisfy all three conditions in one playthrough to gain this achievement.
In one playthrough, pursue the criteria for The Scrungly Woman, The Pale Specter and The Doomer, fail to pay your rent and kill or neglect The House Snake on day 4.
Oestrogen can be obtained through healthcare providers or the grey market.
The grey market takes the form of Lady Moonshine, who appears on Lunden Road during evenings if you have been made aware of her.
There are 4 ways to gain this information:
--Immediately after accepting the Weapon's quest on day 4, Orb may pass a difficult to check to become aware of her.
--Near the end of The Pulp Writer's interaction on day 3, they will ask what you need. If you ask for help with getting hormones, they will link you to Lady Moonshine.
--During the date at The Sinner's House on day 2, ask for the reading to be about how to get hormones. If you walk with the Sinner on the morning of day 4, they will tell you about Lady Moonshine.
--If Lady Dawnsight speaks to you, you may tell her you need hormones. She will make you aware of Lady Moonshine.
In any case, accept the Lady moonshine option in the evening when it appears. Obtain hormones from her by any means.
Make sure you take the action of injecting oestrogen at home to get the achievement.
NOTE: Obtaining hormones from the chemist is possible but much more difficult, frustrating and time consuming.
To complete this achievement, you must be prescribed hormones by the Gender NKVD and have a prescription sent to the pharmacy by the Keeper of the gates of Venus.
This can be done by following these steps:
1.Begin the "clean yourself up" task.
Successfully take a bath, change into clean clothes, apply makeup and get the gunk out of your eyes.
If you fail to complete ALL of these criteria, reload a save and attempt the task again.
2.Either attend the GIC appointment if it is still available or use the private gender clinic (you will need £40).
3.Once you've begun the Gender NKVD's interrogation, choose the following sequence of dialogue options:
-1. ("Hello."[Do a gay little wave]"I'd like some feminising hormones, please."[sit down homosexually])
-2. (idk)
-2. (25)
-2. (Yes)
-2. (No)
-1. (Yes)
-3. (No)
-1.
-1. (I don't)
-1. (Yes)
-2. (Yes)
-1.
-2. (No)
-1.
-1.
-1. ("I like sex, yes.")
-2. (bottom)
-2. (interrogation lamp)
-1. (dissociating)
-2. (most normal possible answer)
-3. (idk)
-1.
-3. (no, that cube is stationary)
This should lead to you being diagnosed as transexual and prescribed hormones (there may be other safe options, but this way definitely works).
4.You will then speak to the Keeper again to have your prescription sent.
If you fail a high Orb check at this point, you will leave without making sure she does her job and the prescription won't be sent that day.
This will necessitate two additional trips, to the chemist to find this out, and back to the clinic to make sure it is actually sent.
Alternatively, reload a save and get diagnosed again until you pass the check.
5.Once the prescription has been sent, simply go to the pharmacy the following day and steal your hormones when the option appears to gain the acheivement.
This is easy to do but you can fail so ensure you save beforehand.
Listen to the radio at the cottage.
Interact with the landlady on the evening of day 3 or 4 and give her rent money.
You will need to pay her £100 if the roof is not fixed, £75 if it is or £55 if you ask her what the money is spent on and then succeed on multiple easy checks to negotiate a lower rent.
On day 1, succeed on the Lovely Lady check to repair the vase, but then smash it.
Events will then transpire on the morning of day 3 that you may exploit for your benefit to unlock the achievement.
Buy the silly sheep from the Grifter on day 2. You will need at least £1
Complete millionaire then buy the bridge from the Grifter on day 3. You will need at least £1
Complete billionaire then buy the Eiffel Table from the Grifter on day 4. You will need at least £1
Having rescued the sheep on day 4, accept The Weapon's offer of tea.
This achievement should appear in subsequent events if you have previously bought something from the Grifter.
Once you have bought something from the Grifter and the Landlady has called at the start of day 3, Nasty Girl may suggest scamming her.
To do this, go to her house and pass a series of checks to give the Landlady one of your "investments" in lieu of rent.
On day 2, pray to Marigold at the cathedral. Then, find her shrine in the woods and pray to it (you must say "ring ring")
On day 3, return to the shrine and pray again in the same manner.
If you're on the right track, the golden vision in your dreams that night will say something to the tune of "Today is the day. She waits by the phone. If you call she will answer."
On day 4, return to the shrine and pray again in the same manner to obtain the achievement.
Watch the comet on day 3.
Before beginning the cryptid task, purchase the red herring from the shop.
When prompted, you may leave it out as bait and the "cryptid" will appear to eat it.
Take every opportunity to affirm you are "one of the Good Ones".
1.In the cathedral, look at the right window and choose the pro-Anglian response
2.While negotiating for purchase of The Eiffel Table, denounce all investors
3.At Pride, pass an Orb check to identify the incorrect Pride flag, ask to see the correct flag, then denounce transsexuals as perverts.
The Cryptid will appear and congratulate you.
While fleeing the cryptid, jump into the river and let it carry you out to sea, ignoring all warnings.
Complete the conditions for Hello Marigold!
During your conversation with Marigold, say "I need to find some words to live by" and she will tell you a Frankish phrase.
Then, find the Weapon's sheep and accept their offer of tea.
When you play the boardgame with them, refrain from throwing a tantrum or eating more than four game pieces.
After a few turns, repeat the phrase Marigold told you to stabilise inflation and win the game.
On days 2 and 3, interact with the Frankfurt Pervert, asking him for financial advice.
On day 4, do the same. He will ask you why you're so concerned about money.
If you explain its for trans healthcare expenses, he will gift you some money and you will unlock the achievement.
Do not pay your rent. On day 4 either kill the House Snake or neglect to feed it.
On day 5, when the Boneman calls, he will be interrupted by the Landlady. Accept his offer of a reprieve to unlock the achievement.
Pray at Marigold's shrine on days 2 and 3 as described in Hello Marigold!
Interact with the Sinner on days 2 and 3 like you would for The Pale Specter.
On day 4, immediately pray at Marigold's shrine and choose the magenta option when speaking with her.
Then walk in the woods with the Sinner. At the conclusion of the walk, take her to the cave to meet your fate.
Complete the crossword in the newspaper and hand it in at the shop to win £50 and the achievement.
If you get an answer wrong, Orb may pass a check to correct you.
The answers (and where you can find them) are as follows
-LUNDEN (frequently mentioned throughout the game)
-COMMUNISM (again, just context clues)
-DAWNSIGHT (easily learned at the cathedral windows)
-FOURTEEN (mentioned in conversation with the Sinner)
-LEAD (key ingredient of special L at the store. Also mentioned by Lovely Lady when debating whether to stay and chat to the Pulp Writer)
-COMMUNISTS (yeah)
-COMMUNIST (yeah)
-WARSAWA (conversation with The Weapon)
-MINT (learned when buying cigs at the store or if The Sinner breathes in your general direction)
-PIGEON (Learned at The War memorial)
Buy cigarettes from the shop.
At any point where you risk freezing to death (taking a cold bath or waking up on day 5 while the roof is still broken) smoke a cigarette instead of freezing to death to gain the achievement.
When interviewing The Raven, you must call her a war hero following the question about people she'd killed so she will talk about Heidi.
A successful high Orb check during this conversation will reveal to you Heidi's fate.
If you press The Raven on this matter, she will become speechless, then angry, and ask Ghost to leave (she won't actually hurt you though).
You may publish a respectful article on her war stories without consequence.
Following this, The Raven will hug you if you attend Pride, unlocking the achievement.
Fairly self explanatory. You won't be able to complete the achievement until day 4 when Pride becomes available.
Attend pride with at least £5 so you can buy a plushie when prompted. Don't give it to The Pulp Writer (Evil Route)
While taking a bath, choose every crustacean based action.
Freeze to death, either by taking a cold bath while the roof is broken or waking up on day 4 while the roof is broken.
1.Repair the cottage roof.
2.Search for cryptids in the woods.
3.Flee the Cryptid until the third escape route appears.
4.Climb trees, jump sheep, go Splat.
Look for cryptids and poke the mine until it explodes when you discover it.
Attend pride with a decent amount of money (£20 should do it) and keep buying and drinking Dandelion and Burdock until it kills you.
When fleeing the cryptid, enter the thorny clearing.
When you get stuck in a bog, simply decide to die to become the Bog Idiot.
1. Visit the Raven on day 2, before writing the article.
2. Ask to see her motorcycle, then ask to interview her. Play down the war angle at first.
3. Following the option to ask her about how many people she's killed, you have the option to ask when she was most proud while on a motorbike, or describe her as a war hero. Choose the latter.
4. She will then reveal the dark reason her bike is named Heidi. Tell her the story will make a great article.
5. She will then assault and threaten you. Leave her garage and write the article about her tragic backstory anyway.
6. Submit the article to The Pulp Writer, but DO NOT return to her on day 3 with fiction. (she will save your life if she joins you at Pride)
7. Attend Pride on day 4. The Raven will find and kill you.
NOTE: there may be other ways to make The Raven homicidally upset, but this is one that works.
1.Search for cryptids. Strange bacteria will enter your bloodstream.
2.Start the religion quest at the church. While looking for the shrine in the forest, check everywhere else before the funny green rock to get Lyme disease.
Additionally, eat the moss on the shrine.
3.Buy Special L from the store and eat the entire box immediately to get lead poisoning.
4.Buy cigarettes from the store and deep-throat one to get cigarette poisoning.
5.During the quest to find The Weapon's Sheep, lick your hand after inspecting the gate to get tetanus.
Additionally, eat the "rations" before bringing the sheep back to get asbestosis.
NOTE: Having The Pulp Writer bite you will not give you Rabies and isn't essential for this achievement, but it is hot.
While fleeing the cryptid, repeatedly circle back on yourself and charge headfirst through the beehive until the achievement is unlocked.
Fulfil the same criteria as The Seventh and surrender to the Undreaming when prompted.
Feed the House Snake at least once, then either neglect to feed it in a subsequent day or kill it.
Alternatively, kill it on your first encounter.
This game is extraordinary and wonderful and ough I don't even know how to put it all into words. I love this game, I feel seen by this game in a way no other ever has, it is so refreshingly and unabashedly transfem and gay and I love being able to be a pathetic bottom around wonderfully unsettling women. Thank you so much for sharing you art with the world, I can only hope the future is filled with many more games like this one!
