Prior to the 2014 game named Lisa, Dingaling had created another game called Lisa that saw release as freeware on October 9th, 2012. This 2012 Lisa is the prequel to the 2014 Lisa and stars the titular Lisa as the protagonist. Upon the 2014 game's release, both games received alternative names, Lisa: The First and Lisa: The Painful respectively, to distinguish them. According to developer Austin Jorgensen, the original Lisa was inspired by a former relationship of his.
