Hey there, I’m Eser Kaya, part of the talented team over at Ubik Studios, where we’re hard at work crafting our game, Leila. Let me take you on a little journey into the captivating world we’ve created for you to explore.
In Leila, you step into the mind of a woman who’s journeyed well past the midpoint of her life. You’ll find yourself navigating through her past experiences, piecing together how each moment has shaped her into the person she is today.
What lies in our past? Well, just about everything that makes us human: those nagging regrets, the missteps, those haunting ‘what if’ scenarios, and more. Often, it’s the darker times that leave the deepest imprints, defining who we become. As you live through Leila’s tale, you’ll delve into these remnants of her past, unraveling the intricate mysteries buried within her memory. You’ll engage with creative puzzles woven into the fabric of the game. Our beautifully animated cinematics are not just eye candy; they’re insightful short films offering glimpses into Leila’s history, enriching your understanding of her life story.
Leila’s journey through her memories is sparked by a cutting-edge device gifted by her daughter. This unique exploration allows her to understand herself more profoundly, linking events and actions to unearth the essence of her identity. As the player, you’ll experience life from Leila’s perspective, which could very well change how you see your own journey. The game gracefully glides through different decades, enveloping you in the nostalgia of the past while hinting at what the future holds.
Leila sets itself apart as a striking example of the female gaze in gaming, a perspective that’s all too rare. By viewing the world through a woman’s eyes, it enriches the narrative, shedding light on stories often left untold or misunderstood. These are tales of healing, upheaval, and resilience, universal in their application.
We’ve poured our hearts into building Leila over the past two years, and it’s finally time to share it with the world. We hope it offers a healing path for all who engage with it.
In the words of Leila: “Normally, I’d burrow within, surrendering to the depths of my own stories. But this time, I chose to dive in willingly. And here I am, exploring the shores of my life.”
So, step into Leila’s shoes and navigate through the rich tapestry of her life. By solving puzzles embedded with snippets of her narrative, you’ll start to see the ‘whys’ behind the pivotal choices she’s made. As you peel back the layers of her mind and heart, you might just find reflections of your own life within hers.
Embark on this thoughtful, artistic adventure, enriched with evocative storytelling and stunning visuals. Each scene crafted with meticulous, traditional animation, and accompanied by an original score that elevates the experience. Join Leila as she faces love, trust, and lingering shadows of her past. Solve engaging puzzles, each offering a deeper dive into her remarkable story.
