About Leila
As we enter the mind of a middle-aged woman struggling to make peace with herself, we travel through her memories, traumas and mistakes, told in her own voice.
Designed as a journey of self-reflection and forgiveness, this game takes us on a fascinating journey through Leila’s past with the help of a technological device gifted to her by her daughter.
The game has creative and original puzzle elements and has been in development for two years.
