That is the premise behind Blood Lily: Killers Can&#8217;t Sink a Yuri Ship, an upcoming B-horror mystery comedy adventure title by Taiwanese indie game dev Sounding Stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Blood Lily Killers Can&amp;apos;t Sink a Yuri Ship - Opening v1.0.1\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U_F-JR8DNXw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blood Lily follows Lily, a long-haired college girl whose plan is to romance her crush Sally during their vacation to a ryokan (a traditional Japanese inn). Things go sideways when a murder takes place, forcing Lily to declare war on the perpetrator as she says, \u201cHow dare you come between Sally and me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Except for Lily and Sally, everyone in the ryokan is initially presented as a silhouette. Their silhouettes and titles get filled in as you unravel the mystery by searching for clues and talking to people in a top-down 2.5D space. As the story progresses, Lily and Sally grow increasingly suspicious that there might be more than one killer. The game features 10 possible endings, with each one changing the fates of the characters based on your choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1294\" height=\"733\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1294px) 100vw, 1294px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260805-70654-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260805-70654-003.jpg 1294w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260805-70654-003-380x215.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260805-70654-003-768x435.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"729\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260805-70654-004.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260805-70654-004.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260805-70654-004-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260805-70654-004-768x431.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blood Lily is set to be divided into two chapters, with the first chapter being partly adapted from tabletop RPG (TRPG) sessions that Sounding Stone had with their friends.
