What can be said about ''Lily's Day Off''?
 
...Quite a bit, actually. For starters, it's a [[Visual Novel]] made in 2017 by a video game developer named Kyuppin. It's available on [[Steam]], iOS, and Android, among other platforms. What sets ''Lily's Day Off'' apart from other visual novels, however, is the story... or rather, the relative lack thereof. <!-- MOD: Who created this work, and when? -->
 
The only consistent detail between each storyroute in ''Lily's Day Off'' (and its sequel, ''[[Lily's Night Off]]'', but that's a whole other can of worms) is the fact that the protagonist (that is, you) meets an idol known as Lilypad Lily. From there, the story can branch off in nigh-unpredictable ways. In one route, you could be Lily's manager. In another, a serial killer. In yet another, you end up becoming Lily's servant. AndTo that'stop toit sayall nothing of its sequeloff, ''Lily'sthere Nightare Off'', which has '''''even more and even weirdersixteen endings''''' than the firstin gametotal.
 
You heard me right. '''''sixteen endings'''''.
 
Strap in, folks; this is going to be a wild ride.
 
FOREWARNING: Given the game's nature and short length, spoilers will be unmarked.
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Downer Ending]]: Quite a few of the endings, namely Hikikomori, Insane Asylum, Ruined Friendship, Lily Murdered, Yandere Lily, and World Nuked.
* [[Beach Episode]]: ''Night Off''{{'}}s DLC takes place on a beach.
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: Many of the endings have fairly self-explanatory names.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Lily, Nym, and Vicky do this after the player attains the Secret True Ending of ''Lily's Night Off'', thanking the player for playing the game and apologizing for the developer's "dark sense of humor".
** Mr. Chainsaw is... well, [[Captain Obvious|a chainsaw]].
* [[Downer Ending]]: Many endings in both games are this, the most notable of which is the Secret True Ending in ''Lily's Night Off''.
* [[I Call It "Vera"]]: A chainsaw, affectionately (and rather uncreatively) nicknamed "Mr. Chainsaw", is present in both games. There's also the so-called "Lucky Knife", which is only presentused in the first game and only used in said game's "Insane Asylum" ending.
** Mr. Chainsaw isn't even used during the game. In ''[[Lily's Night Off]]'', however...
**In ''Day Off'', the protagonist doesn't even prepare Mr. Chainsaw before Lily offers to become the protagonist's eventual successor in exchange for her life, resulting in the "Murdering Duo" ending. In the "Serial Murdurer Lily" ending of ''Night Off'', however, Mr. Chainsaw ''is'' used... on you, Lily's hundredth victim.
* [[Multiple Choice Past]]: Depending on your choices, you could be a serial killer, a [[Hikikomori]], Lily's manager, Lily's [[Childhood Friend]], and in no less than ''three'' instances, a time traveler.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: The highlight of both gamesthis game and [[Lily's Night Off|its sequel]], not only because of their abundance and relative ease of access (compared to other games with multiple endings, at least), but also because of just how weird they can get. ''Day Off'' has sixteen endings, and ''Night Off'' has eighteen (twenty-two if you buy the [[Beach Episode]] DLC).▼
** Similarly, in ''Lily's Night Off'', Lily herself could be a serial killer (oh, how the tables have turned...), a cat-eared alien, a vampire, a [[Yandere]], a [[Magical Girl]], a bank robber, or your comatose wife. The same still applies to you to an extent.
* [[No Name Given]]: The protagonist is never referred to by name, and the player is never prompted to provide one.
▲* [[Multiple Endings]]: The highlight of both games, not only because of their abundance and relative ease of access (compared to other games with multiple endings, at least), but also because of just how weird they can get. ''Day Off'' has sixteen endings, and ''Night Off'' has eighteen (twenty-two if you buy the [[Beach Episode]] DLC).
* [[Title Drop]]: In the "Imouto Happiness" ending, after the time machine is set to self-destruct.
** And if that's not enough, a majority of the endings in both games have no less than one of the main characters ''dying''.
* [[Yandere]]: In the "Lily Murdered" ending, the protagonist is this. In the "Yandere Lily" ending, it's... [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Lily]].
* [[No Name Given]]: The player is never given an opportunity to name the protagonist, so said protagonist remains this, as do several minor characters.
