Hello, I’m Eser Kaya, a member of the Ubik Studios team working on Leila. I’m excited to take you on a journey into Leila’s world, a place where introspection and storytelling blend seamlessly.
In Leila, you’ll find yourself experiencing life through the eyes of a middle-aged woman, delving into the depths of her mind. This immersive journey lets you traverse through her past, unraveling the experiences and choices that have shaped who she is today.
Picture this: you’re navigating through Leila’s mind, where the echoes of regrets, the sting of mistakes, and the shadows of trauma linger. These moments, often the most challenging, are the ones that shape us, propelling us into the present. As you follow Leila’s story, you’ll find yourself piecing together the puzzles of her past. At the game’s core, these creative challenges not only test your wit but also reveal deeper layers of her narrative. The stunning end-of-episode animations, created using traditional techniques, are nothing short of mini cinematic marvels that provide insights and enhance the storytelling.
With a little help from a gift—a technological device—from her daughter, Leila embarks on a journey through her memories. This device offers her a chance to reflect and understand the cause-and-effect threads running through her life. Walking in her shoes, you’ll hear her inner voice and start to see the world from her perspective. The game swings between different decades, each dive offering a glimpse into the aesthetics and trends of those times, striking a delicate balance between nostalgia and futuristic possibilities.
Leila is crafted with the intention of representing the female perspective, an angle often missing in games today. By immersing you in her world, the game unveils stories that are often untold, offering a narrative filled with healing, resilience, and empowerment.
After two years of dedication, we’re thrilled to finally introduce Leila to the world. We hope that by stepping into her journey, players will find their own pathways to healing and self-discovery.
Our debut game is now ready to be shared, to become a part of everyone who plays it. We’re eager to see it resonate and illuminate new paths for those who dive into her story.
