About

A mod for the original Lisa: The Painful game that completely redefines the game's combat, story, and writing. 27 new party members replace the game's old cast, and an entire new story featuring Brad's fight against the demonic Lisa takes place. Using a more comedic tone and serving as a love letter to the series Lisa has become, Brad Has A Pain is an entirely different experience than the original.

Brad's sole goal is to stop Lisa from spreading her evil across Olathe at any and all costs. The only problem is... Brad has a pain. Can you bring Brad to his former glory and stop Lisa before it's too late. . .? This is a dramatic retelling of Lisa: The Painful RPG.
