Leila

A heavy and sad story, which gives its best storytelling through visuals, especially when delving into gorish scenes (which can be skipped, but that would remove a good chunk of the best things of this game). Sadly, its spoken narrative is pretty weak, and the interesting concepts are not deepened enough. But the greatest issue is the gameplay, with tons of point-and-click and puzzles sessions in which it's extremely hard to understand what to do, and the "help" buttons is completely useless 9 times out of 10 (with most of the times doing nothing at all). Playing through this game has honestly been frustraiting for almost all the time, and I can't in my good heart recommend it even though it has some good things here and there. If you're interested in the story and visual scenes, either look for a gameplay online or play it only if you're sure that you can bear incomprehensible puzzles.

This game is beautiful and has a ton of great puzzles but it also shows what it's like facing your past and how hard it is, also shows living with depression and giving up but also overcoming the hardships of everything. It's sad and dark and can be gory but you can skip over that section if you feel it might be too hard or too much. Overall, it's a great game. You aren't alone. Build connections and grow. I put in around 3 hours but it didn't track my time until the second time I opened it. It's a short game but totally worth the experience.

Leila portrays a woman’s journey of reflection and introspection… a look back at life’s choices, regrets, and successes. The hope is that the player will relate to aspects of the narrative, since we, as humans, tend to have common experiences. Many of us consider ‘what might have been’ and some of us have been to the edge of the abyss, and back. Despite colorful art and some light philosophy, Leila lacks continuity and depth. The player is pulled through a series of disconnected thoughts and memories with no specific timeline. Along the way, there are mini-games which feel like add-ons, rather than parts of an integrated whole. As a result, I finished the game without a real sense of who the character was or what underlying message was intended. The player is given the option of skipping scenes with mild gore or self-harm. I did not skip scenes and did not find anything too graphic or too emotional. The game saves on exit to a single slot, meaning that there is no way to return to prior scenes without starting a new game. Depending on your exit point, you may find yourself restarting a scene and needing to rework some activities. Almost all achievements are easily missed. Completionists should read the descriptions before playing. While the premise of Leila is sound, the game does not come together into a cohesive experience. The mini-games have no instructions and it is not always obvious what is required. For at least one, I ended up watching a video walk-through to understand the mechanics. While Leila is not a bad game, it is not a satisfying one and I can’t recommend it.

I was all for this game, but ran into a game breaking bug that literally made it impossible to progress for some reason? I just can't get past the second round of the dollhouse. When i get to the end with the book it replays the sequence when the child was there and then it just freezes my game. I have tried reloading several times and REDID THAT ENTIRE FUCKING BORING SECTION. No i'm not gonna restart from the beginning to find out. Wish i could have refunded this... If you don't run into this bug then yeah you might enjoy it, but i didn't.

Beautiful game with a very good message. If you need a game to play in between larger games this is the one for you. The game takes less than 2 hours to complete but the story was worth it. Game consists of puzzles without directions which might be hard for some unless you like figuring things out on your own and having to use your mind. 4/5 stars for me. Plus the purchase of the goes towards a good good cause!

I really love the artwork and the riddles - alone for that, I will play it again. I wish there would have been some more moments of her life, to make it more complete. It feels a bit like a summary and I myself would have prefered it to be in the right timeline. Nonetheless I enjoyed it big time and the game did a great job to show, rather than tell you the story.

As cool as this looked when I decided to get it.....it 1000% lives up to my hopes and dreams. The only thing I wish was different was the voice. It's too disconnected/stiff. But other than that I'm loving this game! The visuals are amazing and interactions feel perfect. Some puzzles are easy, but others are pretty difficult, making it a good mix.

nice cozy game.. ülkedeki oyun sektorune imzasını atmış olması adina destek verilmeli. its highly unassocaitive regarding meaning the last scene, however sentimental, but still.. i adore the leyla ile mecnun parts, tears on eyes.. yeaa. overall 7/10. sevgiler

It was a beautiful experience. As a woman overwhelmed with work in the creative sector, thank you for giving me the time to breathe, be inspired and be aware.

no proper instructions, can't mute the music, just overall meh.

I think this game is very sweet. I enjoyed my time with it.
