Our take on Lihue
Its defining structure is a nonlinear journey through one character's dream, with player choices determining which areas of that semi-open inner world become available.
What is Lihue?
Lihue is a narrative adventure set inside the dream of a 26-year-old trans girl.
Players explore the landscapes of her mind, investigate memories, listen for quiet clues, and interact with important moments from her life. The story follows intimate challenges in which empathy guides progress, while dreams and nightmares overlap. Choices affect which zones become available in the semi-open world and contribute to reconstructing key events, confronting personal conflicts, and determining the journey's direction. The game includes different enemy types and handmade illustrations. Its narrative is nonlinear, with exploration and investigation spread across dreamlike scenarios.

Lihue compared to similar games
Lihue centers on nonlinear investigation through a character's memories, while Jusant focuses on climbing routes, stamina management, and uncovering the history of a tower.
