The Dawn of Lily Demo

Anime is a pretty important culture in the western world as well right now, which is why more and more series are seeing the light of day. However, video games are much more accessible as well, especially now that development tools are so easy-to-use and do not require too much knowledge about coding. In fact, almost anyone can put together a basic game with enough dedication and spare time.

Noble and Lily is a visual novel designed as fan fiction for a character named Lily the Fox mechanic, which is the mascot of a YouTube channel. As you might imagine, the story is not that complex, nor is it the kind of tale that leaves you contemplating about life. On the other hand, it’s perfect if you want to wind down and watch a simple plot unfold in front of your eyes.

As such, it all starts when Lily is summoned by her master and she is told that her next mission is to go to Earth. After that, Lily wakes up naked in a city somewhere around the world, and she must do her best to complete the mission. A few other characters make an appearance along the way, and they should hold some significance to those who are familiar with Noble’s channel.

Since this is not a very interactive game, most of your time is spent watching the screen and reading the dialog between the characters. There are no choices to be made, which is a bit of a bummer, but then again it’s not a very long game anyway. Thus, you can enrich your pop culture and anime knowledge by giving up a few minutes of your day.

Thankfully, at least the artwork is top notch when it comes to character design, and there are actually some pretty steamy drawings of Lily every now and again. There’s no nudity or explicit sexual scenes, but very young gamers might not be a suitable audience for the game. The music is pretty relaxing as well, although it fails to create any kind of atmosphere.

In the end,  Noble and Lily is clearly not for everyone, but it can appeal to those who are familiar with the fandom in question and enjoy anime. Thus, the artwork is good enough to be worth a playthrough.
