About

Lisa: The First, released in 2012, is a Yume-Nikki style exploration game crafted using RPG Maker 2003. This title serves as a precursor to Lisa: The Painful, delving into the troubled psyche of Lisa Armstrong as she navigates the impact of her abusive father, Marty, leading up to a tragic conclusion. The atmospheric storytelling and unique visuals make it a notable entry in the indie gaming scene.

From a PC performance standpoint, Lisa: The First is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 800 to run smoothly. With just 2 GB of RAM needed, players can expect stable performance even on lower-end hardware. In terms of benchmarks, most modern integrated GPUs should comfortably deliver decent FPS, allowing gamers to explore the emotional landscapes without any graphical hiccups.

If you're intrigued by psychological narratives and exploration-driven gameplay, Lisa: The First is definitely worth checking out despite its modest rating of 69/100. Its unique art style and poignant themes provide a compelling experience for fans of indie gaming and those who appreciate thoughtful storytelling.

Performance profile

October 2012 release. Lisa: The First targets mid-2000s-to-early-2010s hardware — any modern entry-level GPU (GTX 1650 tier or newer integrated graphics) handles it at 1080p Ultra without breaking a sweat.

RPGs like Lisa: The First stress VRAM during long sessions — texture streaming, mods and open-world traversal inflate memory use over time. 8 GB VRAM is a practical floor; 12 GB+ is worth the headroom at 1440p and above.

Extremely light — Lisa: The First runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

The start of this game takes place sometime after the introduction of LISA: THE PAINFUL. The player controls the main character, Lisa Armstrong. The story follows her descent into madness, which stems from the physical and sexual abuse inflicted on her by Marty Armstrong. The goal is to obtain VHS tapes of Lisa's memories while exploring the game's various zones. Brad Armstrong does not appear in this game and doesn't appear to have a room in this version of Marty's house.
