Lily is coping extremely well for a child who died several times. Knowing you died and got brought back once is usually traumatic enough for most.
Who are you referencing?
@@GeorgeDCowleySmall Lily has died many times in Lily's Well.
I didn't know she was chill like that.
@@JuMiKu Yes, but who died once?
Pffft, several is an understatement. It was a LOT more than several
Having a happy ending for Lily's Well is the most important narrative decision it makes. The audience is fully aware that in real life, there's usually no escaping from the situation that the game's horror represents. It would add nothing for the story to end with Lily hopelessly trapped. The ending plays with the fantasy we have of imagining what things would have been like if we could have saved ourselves, and as a result it engages with its themes so much more fully than it would have if it had just focused on hopelessness.
That is, if you were comparing it to anything real to begin with. Lilian taking a while because she's burning down the house felt like an untwist, though.
Actually, I did process Lily as an "adopted child" several times. Still, this video is almost dedicated to the fact that they're different people.
Yes, I was perturbed by you bring this up.
Lily saves the girl at the bottom of the well.
I happen to know an adopted child who used to have bad parents, but I can imagine there's some survivorship bias.
+Well, I'm an adult... So, I usually have all my adult friends come over, we drink adult drinks, and watch weird movies.
-No "adult movies"?
I died
And then you came back like lily-
The inflatable plastic chair gift made me unreasonably happy.
It's nice to know that Lily is now in a pretty safe environment, although I thought it was really cool that the cast includes a lot of "demi-humans".
Seeing this grown-up version of Lily really is cool. We only got a little preview on who Lillian is in the base game, I love her whole circle and how open she is to cuss a lot. Also her designs are actually so adorable, she has a great sense of fashion.
And Lily too! She is just so cute, and I really hope she continues to have a semi-normal childhood without any more incidents. It's crazy to see her this happy after not even that long after the incident, but I'm glad she is somehow pulling through.
I do wonder though, these unexplained powers of Lily... what will they be? Can she like do some voodoo homunculus type shit, that could be used as weapons? We saw what alchemy was able to do with some of the other Lily's back in Lily's Well, so is she able to maybe also transform into something to protect herself?
Love all the references to the base game. That "frog phone or pipe phone" thingy made me remember how you got the frog outfit or... well, what happens after Lily enters the pipes. o.o
Really well done video, I'd imagine it might have taken a lot of effort to really get it all together, especially that you work on so many projects at once, Ice!
Thanks for giving us this great epilogue and I hope we can see more Lily's Well content in the future!
Looking forward to the September update!
Instead of monsters you can just call them demi-humans.
@@yoursonisold8743 didnt think of that. I will edit my comment uwu
@@bonesvivi the point is lily is safe and living a peaceful and happy new life and all matters right?
My reaction on finding the Afterstory for the first time:
"Oh hey cool an epilogue"
*47 minutes long*
"WHAT THE ACTUAL F-"
Dude, seriously, my jaw dropped so far you could have fit a baseball in my mouth. Most indie RPG games' epilogue is a couple minutes and a few pictures. 5 minutes tops. But you literally went and made a full length animation with 100% believable dialogue that makes anybody with a heart want to reach through the screen and hug Lily's pain away. I hope you get discovered and go viral because this level of work from a small-time gamedev is almost unheard of.
I love the idea of Lillian’s friends being supernatural beings which likely not only supported her through her own challenges, but now are there to help Lily make a life of her own despite her origins
It's so wholesome seeing there's a continuation of the events occurring after everything has ended from the base story. So lore expands and we get to know more about the characters.
By the way, has anyone noticed the random letters popping up in the entire video?
I'm sorry but I did not see a single one and I kind of don't want to go through it a second time since I only found out about Lily's well two hours ago.
Oh so that was intentional? I only saw a J pop up at one point and thought it might have been an error that was left in by accident.
Yea I saw an h
I saw a G at 10:10. Could it be a code?
@@Yippeepee2673 What was the timestamp
Is it wrong that I laughed at Lily saying “I’m A meat sludge?”
No because she almost ran out of meat
It IS kinda funny, though I didn't laugh cause of the tears in her eyes taking away the humor at the time. I DID laugh though at her expression for the whole "I thought you fixed things not blew them up".
Also neat fact, you can actually see lily down under the text at 27:35 when Lillian is mentioning dissecting a cadaver.
@@RazielSoulshadow that’s why I found it so funny. Cause I just saw her standing there the whole time thinking it was A mistake and then she just goes up to Lillian and goes “I’m A meat sludge?”
absolutely adorable. dialogue feels realistic, like what actual stupid 20-somethings would be saying to each other or how someone would actually comfort a little girl. lily's well is a very important game to me and getting to see her happy at the end ( + that paragraph at the end of the artbook ) have always made me weepy. getting to see her and li in a pretty low stakes scenario is everything i've ever wanted. i'll definitely be revisiting this next time i replay the game :)
I like how some scenes seem to be them doing life things, rather than tying into a narrative.
I can't tell you how much this means to me. It feels so good to know that Lily is okay. 😭
Raise your hand if you spoted Lillian's pillow has a dye stain
What's the significance of that?
@@JCarey1988I think it’s just a silly gag
@@JCarey1988people who dye their hair oftentimes leave a dye stain on their pillows because the dye will bleed out of their hair for a bit afterwards
A great ending for the story of the little girl. With a new family like this, only great things are bound to happen for this adorable child.
FINALLY got to watch this and oh my heart is so full and fuzzy ;o; I really love how you were just like "yeah man let's make monsters and magic real" and just. Went with it. I love every bit of this world and these characters and just! Ah I'm so glad Lily is in a good place now~
wow the sudden twist that jeremy is a werewolf is really weird but makes sense considering the messed up things in that forest
him saying that he'd tear papa limb from limb in the mail that lillian sent makes more sense too
@@heavygunner4039 i agree with you
this is literally the cutest thing I have seen , I love these characters so much. Lily and Lillian's mutual healing through their finding each other and becoming a family with each other is just so sweet and wholesome, and I simply adore the themes of healing and found family in this amazing group of "monstrous" characters who are all just so fun and wonderful in their own way. Honestly I really want more of these characters and I want to see how these characters will continue to grow and heal and make new friendships and bonds. Lily's Well is one of my all time favorite horror games I've played, and seeing this and just how far these characters have come is just so sweet. I was both bawling and laughing hysterically the entire time I watched this. I will always love the message of this game and these characters. The emphasis on escaping from harmful relationships and building true families out of friends and loved ones who actually treat you well is just so well done, and seeing this concept developed further was just absolutely amazing.
Honestly at this point I'm just talking myself into circles without actually saying anything new, so I just wanted to say that this story is one that I genuinely think helped the people who heard it, and seeing such a happy ending (or happy continuation is perhaps more accurate) is just heartwarming as well as hopeful and inspiring.
Also I love that Lily is really into plumbing, just like how the narration in the main game seems to worship the toilet. Clearly she's had a hyperfixation on this for a while, and I am so here for her exploring her strange passions in a loving and safe environment
obsessed with every time Lily hears a word she doesn't understand and repeats it as another word. The circus fission part actually killed me
I have a funny feeling that the "Special Update" for September may have something to do with Papa's gun and "magical vampire whip" being in the safe.
Also, really appreciate the lore drop about Lily's bio-magical origins. I hope we get another clue or tidbit about her Ma or "Mother" in the future. Thanks, Ice!
His gun's accounted for in the game proper, so it being in the safe would probably affect floor 10.
@@GeorgeDCowley Good point, I forgot about that.
That was a very sweet birthday video! Good job Ice!
Also, wow, 30:59 did not realize how big that was 0_0
Was that a scissor?
@@ryandelmundo4965That’s a shear
Thank god no horror. Lily and Lillian finally live happy ever after
I dunno what kinda maniac decides to make a feature length animation on RPG MAKER out of all things, but GODDAMN, it paid off, kudos!
Thanks Ice for continuing the Lily's Well story and having a very satisfying afterstory. Lily's been through a lot and im glad that she's got another chance in life alongside friends that relate to her. She needs to be protected.
Also, great job to everyone involved. I know making a game is tiring but the end product is super satisfying. Thank you Ice.
anyone notice the little letters popping up?
Put them together and it takes you to another youtube video.
I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS, I LOVE HAPPY ENDINGS TO UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS 😭
It really gives me the same feeling as the Higurashi OVAs after the main series, especially with the sounds of cicadas in the beginning
I loved this afterstory and how it built off of some of the events of the game like the man on the couch and the frog costume you can get. It also built for a lot of world building potential with the introduction to mystical creature type people and the reasons why and how Lily's father could clone her. There was also some backstory hinting like her mother dying and the reasons as to why she is so good at being an alchemist. There was a lot of information we dont know about these characters but have a general basic understanding of them.
I am just glad that we will probably see more great games coming from PureIceBlue
Happy ending~!
Also, "circus fission"!
If this was a TV series, I would totally watch it.
10:20 Fate Testerossa watches Precure, 2005, colourized.
I eventually noticed that the Lilys wear reversed colours.
25:00 _Groan._ _Sigh_ It's nothing they did. _Maybe_ collectively.
Lily's cute, Lilian has her moments, and I like how you got around their names.
Is Lance a reference to Regina?
I honestly thought on the TV at 10:20 was the Teto AI Vocaloid from some music video lol
이분도 이걸 프리큐어라고 하시는구나. 이미 한국인들도 저걸 프리큐어라고 인식했어요.
THAT WAS ADORABLE AND I LOVED THE DIALOGUE AND I LOVE LILY AND HOW HAPPY SHE IS AND ALSO SHE KILLED THE COUCH GUY I FORGET ABOUT WOW BUT STILL AWWWWWWWW ❤❤❤❤
I'm so honestly happy that Lily's Well is going to have a sequel!!
This was so sweet, its interesting to see fantasy characters in this world as a normal thing
Wonderful video Ice, thank you and a happy birthday to Lily/Lillian!
Its lily thats her original name
This fills me with such joy to know that Lily is safe and well. So much so that text cannot describe accurately.
I cannot begin to say how wonderful and wholesome this was. This is exactly what I wanted for Lily after everything she went through: family and friends who will give her all the love and happiness she deserves. I would love to see more like this, honestly, but my gosh I bet a lot of work went into this. The sprites were all so good and I loved the facial expressions you gave everyone.
Some of this probably comes from other works I haven't seen, but I'm assuming that Burgerman is a mermaid cause I think they said.. but what is Todd? Is he a ghost or a banshee or something? 👻(Oh, wait, just got to that part of the bonus book, my bad. You said to watch this first, haha...)
Regardless, thank you so much for making this for Lily and Lillian. 💖
HOLY FUCK LETS GOOOOOOOO
Luckily this isn't some kind of sequel that villain alive and torture protagonist again
Hi guys! I made the CN translation subtitles for this video! If you speak Mandarin you can turn on the cc!
嗨各位！我為本影片製作了中譯字幕。如果你也是中文使用者，可以開啟cc字幕喔！
Hello, May I ask how did you make the translations? I already translated all but I have no method to make subtitles.
@@김동하-g4u I sent an email with the subtitle file(ttml file) to Ice directly! So that Ice could upload it from her side. You can found her work email address on her official website!
@@acherontia_lachesis41123 Thanks, you really saved me :)
@@acherontia_lachesis41123 i sent an email but.. I have no answer right now 😢😢 How long did it take?
@@김동하-g4uwell she hasn’t replied to my latest email, which I sent 2 weeks ago, as well😂 Ice might be busy so let’s be patient🫂
This was a special treat to watch. Especially how long it is lol I was expecting maybe a 10-20 minute video but no, you went above and beyond that! Thank you for making this!
so amazing and adorable. makes me want to go back and play the game from start to finish again after 2 years. so unbelievably wholesome, I'm excited and my day is saved. also if they dont already exist, would love to see more stories and/or games set around these characters. if they do already exist, please let me know, cause i need more of this in my life
This was awesome! I absolutely adored it.
Just a question, but did anyone else notice the letters and symbols that would occasionally pop up throughout the video?
I found all of these throughout the video. At 9:12 there's a j, 12:12 there's an i, at 16:03 there's a p, at 20:43 there's a J, at 26:56 there's a -, at 34:17 there's a k, at 36:18 there's a y, and at 37:40 there's an S (can't tell if it's capitalized or not).
I suspect I missed something, because combining what I've found does not bring up a valid UA-cam link. I think there's about one symbol per scene, and I have yet to find anything during the intro in the woods and car. A symbol probably pops up ever 3-6 minutes, so that means there's probably something hidden sometime between 26:56 and 34:17.
Edit: @kidzanik4759 found an = at) 0:33, a G at 10:07, and an h at 11:50.
Is this a UA-cam link?
Yeah but it goes to a video that's been removed or privated.@@ArtymationsKiba
@@JCarey1988 I saw it before it was taken down
What was it?@@ArtymationsKiba
@@fim-43redeye31 It was about this girl going back to the house to find something, I think a ritual is what she as going to have and the woman was immortal if I'm right
When I saw this my first thought was "oh! Hey! Someone made a fan animation for Lily's Well? I loved that game!" Then I saw that you made it and I was shocked. This was amazing! It made me so happy! This is exactly the type of content one for something as dark as the original
Really awesome and wholesome video/game... Excited for the Lily's Well sequel when it eventually comes out. I'm not so sure that I'm as into the "mystical beings" like vampires and werewolves as I am the lore with the Italian alchemist father but the amount of depth and the levels of personality you put into the characters is engaging!
letss goo
I'm glad Lily is happy after the hell she went through, but I'm not sure how to feel about the expanded world. I felt like part of what made this world interesting was how both Lilys were relatively normal compared to where she was apparently stuck in. The only hints that the rest of the world was supernatural were from the GID folder bringing up merfolk flesh and Jeremy's "rip you limb from limb" threat, which were easy to gloss over.
I don't know. To each their own, but this expanded world kinda felt out of the left field for me.
i only learnt about the game today but discovering more content after i go to bed?
AMAZING!
glad to see Lily doing well.
I love this world you've made
I love horror games but I can't play them. I have to watch other people play them so that I can turn the game's active entertainment into passive entertainment. Also, when I am able to buy the game for myself I'll still be able to enjoy the horror aspect without the unintended side effect of being too scared to play it.
One final thing, Alt Ending Three is my favorite because it scared me the most. It's the only jumpscare I saw, it scared me so much that my phone dropped through the space in between my bed and the wall. I had to fish it back out with the video still playing😂
P.S.
What you do is amazing, I love Lily's Well and I look forward to playing it someday.
Usually the big bad wolf would huff and puff then blow the house down. This one huffed and puffed then blew the (inflatable) house up

That is a youtube link. Now you just need to put it behind the watch part of the youtube address.
@@yoursonisold8743 yeah but when i put the letters on the address it wont show up its like privited or someting...
@@oliekematch It's not listed, but it should pop up if you put it in the address....
May 26th? Is there something I'm missing? Also lily with star eyes is just adorable. ❤
May 26th was the date she got rescued if I had to guess
FINALLY 🎉🎉🎉
저는 제레미를 보면 런던의 늑대인간이 생각나요. 그 영화를 나는 릴리 나이대 전후에 비디오로 운좋게 한번 봤어요. 더빙은 아주 긴 시간이구요. 당시 한국은 심의가 아주 정신이 나가서 릴리 나이대의 애들이 그런거 잘도 보고 살았던 광기의 시대였어요. 물론 검열이 없는건 아니었고.
YAYYYYYYYY🎉
wow this kind of long epilogue is som,ethign rare to see in a videogame, and is good to see lily get a new life and happyness after suffering and die a lot of times, so im glad for lily and her new life.
And now only in 2024 I realize game got update that added one more achievement to hunt x'D But yeah didn't know about lost cartidge either, so adding that to my shopping list
So Lillian is dating a werewolf? Huh. Neat.
Hello
Wait, lily's birthday is a lily's well spin-off
40:09 OHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT
btw, terrific afterstory!
The Letter "P" pop up on screen on the 16:01 mark . Is there any more letters ?
there was an "e" when lillian opened her wizard present
didn't notice any others
@@heavygunner4039 That's an s or S actually, unless there's a second letter I'm missing at that point
The letters, put together, link to a youtube video.
@@JCarey1988 what the youtube video?
32:40 clearly Lily's big fan of Philip Neri, patron saint of joy, laughter, and US special forces. 😛
I am in love with this universe you've made!! As someone with childhood trauma I can relate to Lily (tho I can confess i have never died before 😂)
Is this game available somewhere ? I can't seem to find it on Steam or elsewhere...
i hope theres more of lilys well in the future
I didn't play the game, just watched Manly, but oh man I thought this was just a random game of horror and that would be it, boy was I wrong, incredible story, interesting gameplay loop, insane attention to details and easter eggs, I loved it, I shouldn't compare games but tbh it made me think of Undertale when it was first released, great job and loved the story and happy ending!
Lily shares the same birthday as my cat (happy late birthday)
Cool now where is next generation for lily kids? I hope u make it sequel
I really like this world and characters and lore. It would be so cool to get another story within the same universe, honestly it has a lot of potential. Great stuff iceblue.
Lily is well 🩷💛
I drew a horror game fan art for the first time in my life. We love you, lily
Aaaaaa this was absolutely amazing, all the lord and bits about them were amazing ! I hope your doing really well ! :3 ✨👏✨👏
Now that I think about it this reminds me of a story that I’m writing, seeing this has given me some inspiration, thanks ^^ !
Lol at the lips phone i had one back in the 90s!
her werewolf boyfriend is trans, i like to think.
okay- further into the video. i think i saw top surgery scars and the baffled way Lillian reacted to the "when are you going to give me a grandbaby" thing. he is trans. =)
i wonder why there was an "s" when she opened the wizard box.
My birthday is in May 26th too, what a nice coincidence xD
The happy live that lily truly needed. Happy ending
I recently streamed and beat Lily's Well for the first time just yesterday, and I'm really happy that I was told about this after story, because i absolutely loved the game, I was not expecting such a great little game to be free! It's so nice to see Lily living a nice (semi) normal life after the trauma that was all the events of the game, and all the new characters introduced are really fun too, i've known them all for less than an hour but I am already invested in this group and would love to see more of them!
This game makes me so damn happy, thank you for this!!! I hope we get to see more of their adventures.
제작자가 프리큐어를 본게 맞구나. 하지만 내가 궁금한건 단 하나 Lost Cartridge: Cold Read가 릴리의 우물과 같은 세계관인지 그게 궁금할 따름입니다.
ㄹㅇㅋㅋ
Thank god I finally have closure on who Burgerman is.
Sorry if this is a completely off the mark guess or if you don’t wish to answer this, but is Jeremy trans?
thats my impression, based off the fact he apparently used to be in girl scouts, cannot have biological children with lillian, and in the one shot where we are able to see him shirtless and not wolfy it appears he has top surgery scars. (though i admit that that could just be shadows and well defined pecs)
I'm kinda surprised no one else aside from you seems to have brought it up. my reaction was "lets go, transgender werewolf representation yay!" but maybe I'm just more sensitive to hints like that (and more likely to see them even if they arent there) because I myself am trans and am always on the lookout for good representation in media
@@kylieschuttloffel1261 Summarized my thoughts exactly! Plus in the teaser vid preceding it, there’s a kid beside Lil that really resembled Jeremy. I love all the little breadcrumbs characterizing both him and their relationship. It feels like they have so much history together.
this is pure sugar fuel to the entire ordeal from the main game; i will wait for the september update.
Why is there random letters here and there
Dr. Tabacchi's Revenge:
If he survived for a Lily's Well 2: the Sequel horror game!
확실히 엉터리는 아니에요. 머리카락이라는 뿌리에 의해 탈출못하고 뒈진놈들이 많은건 확정이지만 그놈은 1층에 있었기에 살아남았을 가능성이 없지는...
Marvelous story and performance
You did an amazing job on this! I loved every part of it. I'll try to not be late next time!
Oh boy, time for more suffering in september.
Ah yes, the good ending +++ achievement. 💜💜💜
noooooooooooooooooooooooooo I am sorry Lily for killing that guy on the couch it wasn't your fault ;w;
Also Aww, Lily chose the same day as my Birthday^^
This was such a wonderful surprise! Thank you for making this
We need to show more people this
"Do ninjas snap necks?"
"Huh. I don't actually know. It feels like someone's known for snapping necks."
It's probably a massive coincidence, but this almost sounds like a reference to Ninja Brian of Ninja Sex Party. He's the only ninja character I know of that snaps people's necks.
Ahaha, the “Lovelykyu-ah: Rescue Girls” is a Precure reference!
Ok, but when I saw the werewolf I was joking in my head "ha that must be her boyfriend"....I am pleased that it was indeed the case. This whole thing was so sweet and cute, I loved it.
This is absolutely precious.
That is an astonishingly good epilogue.
I’m going to cry myself to sleep today
8:49 this is a great facial expression.
i've been procrastinating on watching this since it came out, but i'm so glad i finally got around to it. lily's well easily became one of my favorite games after i played it, in part because of how touching the ending was, and getting to see how the relationship between the lilies developed past that was such a treat. not to mention all these new characters are super fun, and it's just great to see lily be able to integrate into a community with people who actually care about her. a super charming watch overall, and i'm very excited to play the new update :)
Bruh, i didn't even realize this was official to the universe at first until i looked at your channel.
this was so adorable and i would love to see more of this universe that they live in! i also really really need to know what kind of mythical creature Todd is supposed to be
