Hey there, I’m Eser Kaya from Ubik Studios, and I’m thrilled to share a glimpse into the fascinating world of our latest project, Leila.
In this captivating game, you’ll step into the mind of a middle-aged woman, embarking on a journey through her rich tapestry of memories and experiences. As you navigate these personal landscapes, you’ll uncover the events that have shaped her into the person she is today.
Throughout Leila, you’re not just a passive observer. You’re actively exploring her past—her regrets, mistakes, traumas, and those nagging ‘what ifs’ that we all carry. The game is designed to let you unravel the mysteries of her emotional baggage through cleverly woven puzzles. We’ve meticulously crafted traditional animations for the cinematic sequences at the end of each chapter, making it feel like you’re part of a series of short films. These vignettes offer valuable insights into Leila’s past and enrich the narrative you’re uncovering.
Leila’s journey through her memories is made possible by a futuristic device—a thoughtful gift from her daughter. This technology allows her to delve deep into her past, fostering a deeper understanding of herself by drawing connections between her actions and their outcomes. As the player, you assume Leila’s identity, enabling you to step into her shoes and view the world through her eyes. This temporal dance offers a peek into the styles and sensibilities of different eras, striking a balance between nostalgia and looking forward.
Our mission with Leila was clear: to give voice to the female perspective in gaming, a viewpoint far too often overlooked. By portraying life through the lens of a woman, we add a distinct layer to the storytelling. Through this focus, we aim to highlight narratives of healing and resilience that resonate universally, encouraging all players to find their path to empowerment and understanding.
After two years of pouring our hearts into this project, we’re excited to finally introduce Leila to the world. We sincerely hope that her story serves as a pathway to healing and self-discovery for everyone who experiences it.
“Normally, I’d dig a hole within myself and fall into it, but this time, I’ve chosen to step inside willingly. Here I stand, navigating the shores of my life.”
Take the reins as Leila and traverse her life story, unraveling pivotal moments and the motivations behind her decisions. As you immerse yourself in her psychological and emotional landscape, you’ll see reflections of your own experiences in her journey. Leila presents a compelling, story-driven adventure, enriched with charming narration and breathtaking artwork. Every scene is a work of art, crafted with the precision of traditional techniques and enhanced by a mesmerizing original soundtrack.
Embark on Leila’s quest as she confronts love, trust, and the ghosts of her past. Engage with thought-provoking puzzles that challenge your mind, drawing you deeper into her narrative. We invite you to join us on this extraordinary voyage through the layers of Leila—it’s a journey unlike any other.
