FEATURES AND GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW
Have you ever wondered what the little sisters of famous idols get up to in their free time? Find out in this revolutionary visual novel full of headpats, plot twists, and silly hijinks!
In Three Wishes, players make choices to determine what wishes the girls make. Each wish compounds on the previous and leads to crazy outcomes. Finishing the entire game takes around 3-4 hours.
Headpats Engine: Interact with all characters on screen at any time by headpatting them with dynamic physics!
Props & Effects: Each route is packed with various props that characters interact with and visual effects that keep things interesting!
Quips System: Characters react in real-time to dialogue and events taking place!
HEADPATS ENGINE
Years of engineering, millions of dollars of funding, and recent breakthroughs in quantum technology have allowed our team of top-notch developers (me) to craft something truly special. I proudly present: The Headpats Engine!
Characters are fully dynamic and can be interacted with at pretty much any time during gameplay. Feeling down? headpat. Hungry? Give a headpat. Broken leg? Might I suggest headpats?
Headpatting the characters will play a major part in the game! Thank you to everyone who made this incredible technology possible.
PROPS & EFFECTS
Have you ever felt yourself getting a little too cozy while playing a visual novel? All those words, relaxing you, making you feel comfy and safe and secure. Well, you won't find that here! Three Wishes is all about the Props & Effects!
Millions of hours of painstaking labor helped us reach this point. I kept saying this to myself while developing the game: "Hey, this scene is finally done. But what if it wasn't?", and then I stuffed even more props into the scene. Sure, those 50 plush toys could be mentioned off-camera, but what if I simply added them to the game with some art? The girls turn into candy this route? Surely the developer will not painstakingly redraw every single sprite for just 100 lines of dialogue hahaha... Think again!!
My blood, sweat, tears, and years of my life went into stuffing this game full of stuff people will forget after 5 seconds and I couldn't be more happy.
QUIPS SYSTEM
Do you hate silly pointless lines of dialogue in visual novels? Me neither! So I toiled endlessly pondering how I could stuff even more dialogue on screen so even the dialogue can have dialogue. After extensive testing, I arrived at a technology that will revolutionize visual novels! I call it: The Quips System!
With this unprecedented technology, characters can now be implied to be saying small lines of dialogue (quips, if you will) in reaction to the main lines of dialogue. They can also react to other characters or show off their internal dialogue. It opens up a lot of possibility for new interaction!
I expect this system to fundamentally change the visual novel landscape within the next 5-10 years and couldn't be happier to finally bring it to the public.
STORY, CHARACTERS, & GAMEPLAY
Addie, Mint, and Emi are on their way to a sleepover when a shooting star falls from the sky and crashes right near them! Saty appears, promising to grant them whatever their hearts desire. The catch? She will only grant Three Wishes! (heh)
Get an up close and personal peek into the lives of the eccentric Lilpads and others!
Addie is Lily's airheaded but always energetic little sister!
Mint is Nym's sadistic and genius level intellect little sister!
Emi is Vicky's depressed yet still hopeful little sister!
Saty is a mysterious girl who fell from the sky and claims she can grant wishes!
The player influences the decisions the girls make when wishing. Guide the girls as they wish for whatever their hearts desire! Each wish will lead to more wild outcomes. Can you help them make the perfect wish? Over 12 endings to experience! Fully original soundtrack by Vect (@VectressWasHere on YouTube)!
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE (POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW THIS POINT)
I really tried to push the boundary of what people think a visual novel can be by adding lots of weird and experimental features! I expect some may not mesh so well with the genre, but I couldn't help myself. I hope you enjoy :D
Three Wishes is a visual novel based in the Lilypad Lily world. It's not necessary to have played the other games to play this one, but it'd probably make stuff funnier and some stuff might make more sense, particularly references to "Lily". Or you might go "Hey I know that character, haha." one or two times if you've played the other games.
The Steam assets illustration was made by Soyacomu (Soyatu). No AI was used in the making of this game.
There is nothing lewd in this game. There are some scenes that some players may find disturbing. There is depiction of cartoon blood, death, and occasionally young people being happy.
A Linux version has now been added! Hopefully everything works correctly.
I also fixed a couple of things I missed in the last v5 version (I left in an fps counter oops)
-Fixed an issue where the screen would remain blurry after triggering a certain scene.
-Fixed an issue where Emi's Headpat ending name would not be displayed.
-Fixed an issue where Saty's headpat meter would not fills at a certain point.
-Updated the Auto Mode so it functions better with certain events.
-Updated the "Show More Text" arrow so it disappears in all scenarios of advancing dialogue when it isn't eneded.
-Changed the naming scheme for versions to integers instead of 1.1, 1.2, etc.
- Fixed an audio bug with the main menu not adjusting volume levels in some situations.
- Fixed an issue with the headpat progress popups sometimes glitching positions.
- A few more typo fixes.
- Fixed how Steam achievements work so there's no more issues playing offline.
- Added a "more text" arrow for long dialogue lines that require clicking to read the rest.
Fixed a glitch that could cause headpat events to not work (Hopefully!!)
- Fixed lots of typos.
- Made the headpat events much more noticeable and obvious that you need to do them for the true ending.
- Slightly altered the beginning of the true ending route so it flows nicer.
- Added headpat achievements.
- Added headpatting scene.
There was a bug in the v1.0 release where after one ending, the player would get stuck on the title screen. This has been patched.
Thank you for your patience!
Hey everyone!
Unfortunately, some last minute things have popped up that warrant a couple of extra days to make sure everything is in working order. I'd rather move release back a couple days to ensure I can release the game in its best shape than release the game as-is. So the new release date is August 22, 2025!
I've reached out to Steam to try and change the official release date. I'm not quite sure how it works. But for now, the release is just going to say "August 2025" on the store page, as that's the best I can do on my end without them manually changing it. If they don't/can't change it, I'll still delay until the 22nd if I am able by not hitting the release button until then.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but it has to be done to make sure I deliver something I'm 100% satisfied with! Thank you for understanding.

I ran a similar contest to this for my last game release, Lily's Night Off, and you can still see the fan arts featured in the main menu of that game!
No minimum skill level required, I wanna see all of your awesome art!
NO AI.
I look forward to seeing all the artworks!!
If you haven't yet, you can play the Three Wishes demo here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2692730/Three_Wishes/
I made a small oopsie woopsie when I released the demo. I accidentally forgot to compress the textures. Everything was left completely uncompressed in full 4096x4096, which, is kinda crazy, especially for a visual novel I suppose. lilypadwoah
The game was actually using close to 4GB of VRAM because of this. (World's first AAA visual novel??) And I had one report of a crash when trying to load into the main scene.lilypaduguu
But now everything is much more manageable. I went through every texture and added compression. Some individual textures went from 81MB to just 0.9MB which seems like magic to me. lilypadconfused Anyways, the game is now FEELS like it's running better than ever (probably placebo effect) but also the download size is less than half of what it was and VRAM usage is waaaaay down. lilypadhappy You shouldn't even be able to notice a difference unless you're playing in 4k and you whip out a magnifying glass.
That's all! Yippee!
(Side note, I guess I should have done one of these announcement thingies when I released the demo, but I forgor they existed)
