The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily, the crowd-controlling turn-based strategy game produced by One or Eight, WSS playground, and Alliance Arts, broadcasts its first-ever demo, now available on PC via Steam.
Turn the tide of battle with propaganda as Scarlet exploits the power of modern media technology to sway public opinion and win the hearts of allies. On the run from false murder accusations, Scarlet accepts the help of time-travelling livestreamer Lily in her bid to win her freedom, and maybe even foment rebellion. Use each turn to execute strategic moves, such as capturing enemy soldiers, sowing doubt among the opposition, or cutting off supply lines.
Escape false murder accusations as Scarlet, a hedonistic duchess guilty only of disobeying the aristocracy’s tiresome customs. Flee the imperial armies eager to see Scarlet’s head roll and buy time until she can clear her name. Conspire with Lily, a time-traveling livestreamer, and convince the opposing generals of Scarlet’s innocence, win their loyalty…and perhaps even form a rebellion.
In an era without the internet, leverage the power of media to outwit enemy forces. Hop aboard an imperial airship, spread (occasionally fake) news from above, and sway public opinion to increase the odds of victory during every battle.
Strengthen Scarlet’s army with her winsome ways: capture prisoners of war, then sway them with propaganda.Plant seeds of doubt into the minds of opposing commanders to cut off supply chains, divert troops away from battlegrounds, and flank distracted squadrons to thin out their ranks.
“The Great Villainess explores an alternate reality where mass media could be perceived as mystical powers,” says Daichi Saito, CEO of WSS Playground. “We encourage all who test the demo to lend their voice to development, we look forward to your feedback!”
The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily is coming to PC in 2025 with language options in English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) and Korean.
