01 / THE GUIDE
Story premise
Lily is left alone at bedtime when a voice from the well calls for help. The narrative centers on her decision to gather rope and investigate the source of the cry.
The setting is a rainy night in 2005, and the game’s tone is horror‑focused, emphasizing the tension of a child confronting an unknown danger beneath her home.

Exploration
Players can move Lily through her house and the surrounding property to locate objects usable for rope. The environment holds many items, each potentially contributing to the rope’s length.
Exploration is essential because the variety of objects determines which rope configurations become possible, influencing the eventual ending.
- Take note of each object's location for future reference.
- Compare the placement of similar items across different rooms.

Rope crafting
Collected objects are combined to create rope of varying length and material. The specific combination directly affects Lily’s fate when she descends.
The game does not prescribe a single correct rope; instead, multiple lengths lead to distinct outcomes, encouraging experimentation.
- Experiment with short versus long rope builds to see how endings differ.
- Record which materials produce the most stable rope.

Endings
Lily's Well offers more than ten main endings and several hidden ones, each unlocked by specific rope configurations and discovered secrets.
The game is designed for repeated play‑throughs, allowing players to test different rope lengths and uncover secret household details that affect the outcome.
- Track which rope length produced which ending for systematic testing.
- Search for hidden objects that may alter the ending path.
