Hi there, I’m Eser Kaya from the team at Ubik Studios, where we’re bringing the game Leila to life. I’m excited to walk you through the compelling world we’ve created for you to explore.
Leila is a truly unique experience that invites you to step into the shoes of a middle-aged woman, giving you access to her inner thoughts and past experiences as she evolves into the person she is today.
Imagine diving deep into someone’s memories, unraveling regrets, mistakes, traumas, and all those haunting ‘what ifs.’ It’s these pivotal experiences that shape us, and as you follow Leila’s life journey, you’ll find yourself solving creative puzzles. These challenges are meticulously crafted to help you uncover the mystery behind her emotional baggage. We’ve employed traditional animation techniques to create the closing scenes of each episode. This approach allowed us to understand the immense effort it takes to bring these scenes to life. Each one unfolds like a short film, offering clues about Leila’s past and enhancing the overall narrative.
In Leila’s journey through her memories, she uses an innovative device—a gift from her daughter. It’s a fascinating tool that helps her confront her own identity, seeing how her past actions shaped her present. As a player, you will journey alongside her, identifying with her inner thoughts and observing the world from her perspective. As you navigate through various decades, you can also soak in the aesthetics and trends of each era, creating a perfect blend of nostalgia and forward-looking moments.
The game truly shines by presenting a narrative viewed through the female gaze, something that’s all too rare in this medium. By offering insights from a woman’s perspective, Leila adds a profound, new dimension to the storytelling. It’s about exploring and acknowledging untold stories and highlighting the healing journey and resilience many women embody, resonating with everyone who engages with the story.
Over a span of two years, we’ve poured our heart into developing Leila, aiming to share its magic with you. We believe this game offers a path to healing for anyone who experiences it.
Dive into Leila—a game that combines thought-provoking puzzles with storytelling rich in emotion and beautifully crafted animation. As you unravel the turns of her life, you might just find reflections of your own experiences in her story, making it a profound journey of self-discovery for anyone who plays. Join Leila as she navigates through the complexities of love, trust, and shadows of the past, encountering challenges that not only engage but deepen your immersion in her narrative.
Whether you’re a fan of story-driven games or simply looking for something new and meaningful, we’re thrilled to invite you on this journey through Leila’s world.
