At a convent governed by the strict Mother Superior, shy schoolgirl Lilli seems to obey every instruction without complaint. Her best friend Edna’s mysterious disappearance forces her into a journey to bring Edna back and face fears she has kept buried. The contrast between Lilli’s sweet, dutiful manner and the darker feelings suggested beneath it gives this point-and-click adventure an unsettling edge.
Play centers on classic point-and-click adventure gameplay and challenging puzzles, with dialogue and 53 locations shaping Lilli’s strange surroundings. Its hand-drawn 2D cartoon art accompanies bizarre characters and wacky humor. Among the game’s most distinctive images are the potato-shaped Censor-Gnomes, who paint over upsetting things in pleasant pink; whether they are real or products of Lilli’s subconscious is left as part of the story’s unease.
The listed play format is single-player, so the game is built around one person following Lilli’s story rather than a shared or competitive session. That context helps frame any player-count information: it concerns interest in a story-driven adventure, not activity in multiplayer matches. With its convent setting, puzzle-solving, long stretches of dialogue and surreal visual motif, Harvey’s New Eyes ties its mechanics and presentation closely to Lilli’s uneasy perspective.
