Backlog 365: Day 9 - Lilly Looking Through

For Backlog 365 I plan on playing one game on my backlog everyday this year and write about it. For each game I will decide if I want to put it on my "Shelved" list (games that I plan to come back to and play in depth) or put it on the "Retired" list (games that I will delete or sell and move on with my life).

Awww, isn’t that cute. Yup, pretty adorable.

I have no idea how I acquired Lilly Looking Through, I’m guessing a bundle. Actually, let me check… Yep, no idea. I didn’t get it from Humble Bundle or Bundle Stars. I know there are some other sites I’ve purchased bundles from, but I honestly can’t remember the name of the sites. Anyway, I digress.

Lilly Looking Through is a fun little adventure game. There are some aspects that I’m not crazy about, but in my short play session I had fun. I’m not crazy about the art style, which is kind of important to an adventure game, but I don’t hate it. The animation is a bit too slow, especially when you are doing a puzzle that requires a lot of back and forth movement, but I can’t say that there are many adventure games where I don’t have this complaint. The music doesn’t really stand out or offend, so that’s not really a factor. The one factor that will decided whether or not I'll play this game or retire it is length. If Lilly Looking Through is longer than 3 hours then I won’t play it.

So, I open up the trusty howlongtobeat.com, and… 2 Hours

Judgement: Shelved
