Hello there, I’m Eser Kaya, and I’m part of the creative minds at Ubik Studios working on an exciting project called Leila. I’m thrilled to give you a glimpse into the fascinating world we’ve crafted for this game.
In Leila, you’ll step into the thoughts of a middle-aged woman and explore the chapters of her life. You’ll have the chance to wander through her maze of memories, piecing together the story of her journey to becoming the person she is today.
So, what will you uncover in her past? Just as with anyone’s life, Leila’s history is filled with regrets, mistakes, traumas, and those pesky “what ifs.” Often, it’s those darker footprints that shape us and bring us to where we are now. Through Leila’s unfolding story, you’ll unravel the mysteries and unpack some of those emotional bags she carries, aided by cleverly designed puzzles sprinkled throughout the game. We’ve poured our hearts into the traditional animation techniques for each episode’s cinematic, each one like a bite-sized film offering you hints about her past and tying her narrative together.
Leila’s journey through her past is guided by a piece of innovative technology, a gift from her daughter. As she dives deeper, she learns more about herself, weaving together the cause and effect of her choices and figuring out what truly defines her. And you, as the player, will become Leila, absorbing her internal monologues and viewing the world through her eyes. As you journey back and forth through the years, you’ll catch glimpses of the styles and trends that marked each era. The game beautifully balances nostalgia for the past with hope for the future.
Leila is our attempt to bring a much-needed representation of the female perspective to the gaming world. By providing a lens into life from a woman’s point of view, we infuse an additional layer of depth into the gaming experience. Through sharing the often-overlooked stories of women, Leila opens a dialogue on healing and resilience that resonates with everyone.
After pouring two years of passion and creativity into developing Leila, we’re eagerly anticipating sharing it with the world and making it a part of your gaming experience. Our hope is that Leila sparks a healing journey for everyone who plays it.
In “Leila,” a masterful tale unfolds as you traverse through the significant stages of her life, solving puzzles embedded with pieces of her story. These puzzles gradually reveal the motivation behind Leila’s choices. The deeper you delve into her emotional landscape, the more you might see reflections of yourself in her seemingly ordinary life journey.
Step into this story-driven adventure, where vivid narration and breathtaking artwork bring Leila’s world to life. Each scene is crafted with meticulous traditional animation, and an original, moving soundtrack heightens the experience. As Leila, you’ll tackle challenging puzzles and navigate the trials of love, trust, and her past’s lingering shadows. Ready for an unforgettable journey?
