Our take on Lenin - The Lion
Its defining structure removes battles and levels entirely, making conversations, puzzles, items, and player choices the main ways to move through the story.
What is Lenin - The Lion?
Lenin – The Lion is a puzzle RPG about an albino lion facing loneliness, bullying, fear, and rejection.
The game alternates between everyday life and a strange place, with progress built around conversations, puzzles, items, and choices rather than battles or character levels. Actions affect later scenes, area endings, NPC conversations, and the game’s overall endings, while the story does not offer multiple routes within each section. Lenin’s backpack functions as the menu, so losing it removes menu access. The presentation uses an aerial view inspired by SNES and Game Boy Color RPGs, with original artwork, an original soundtrack, and anthropomorphic animal characters. Brazilian Portuguese can be accessed through Steam’s language settings and a download.
