Hello, I’m Eser Kaya from Ubik Studios, and we’ve been working hard to bring you our latest project, Leila. Let me walk you through the intriguing world we’ve crafted for this game.
In Leila, you step into the consciousness of a woman who’s traversed half her life. The game lets you explore the nooks and crannies of her mind, experiencing her memories and past events that have shaped her into the person she is today.
What you’ll discover are the universal experiences that many of us face: regrets, mistakes, and those nagging “what ifs.” Often, it’s the more difficult times that leave the deepest marks, influencing who we become. In navigating Leila’s story, the aim is to unravel the enigma of her emotional baggage through cleverly integrated puzzles. Each animated cinematic at the end of an episode plays like its own short film, offering new clues and enhancing the narrative depth of her story.
Leila embarks on this reflective journey using a special device her daughter gives her. The player acts as her, moving back and forth in time to better understand her past actions and how they’ve crafted her present identity. There’s a nostalgic vibe to these scenes as you see the aesthetics and cultural highlights of different decades, blending memories with modern storytelling.
We’ve aimed to create a unique experience highlighting perspectives often overlooked in gaming. By putting the spotlight on a woman’s view, we open the floor to stories that may have gone untold and offer a chance for self-discovery and healing that resonates universally.
Over the past two years, we poured our energy and creativity into developing Leila. Now, we’re excited to share it with you all, hoping that it will offer everyone a path to reflection and understanding.
Leila invites you into a life journey punctuated by key moments and decisions. As you piece together her story through engaging puzzles, you might find a connection to your own experiences. The game promises a richly detailed visual and narrative experience, accentuated by a beautifully crafted soundtrack.
Join Leila in her exploration of life’s complexities, from love to trust and confronting her past. The thought-provoking challenges within help to immerse you further into her story. We hope you find this adventure as meaningful and insightful as we’ve intended it to be.
