Our take on To Leave
The premise emphasizes a magical door, soul harvesting, and a journey to heaven, while the described play centers on puzzle-platforming and a story about depression. The grand supernatural setup may suggest a broader adventure than the stated gameplay scope delivers.
What is To Leave?
To Leave follows Harm, a young man living with manic depression who controls a door that can fly and possesses magical properties.
He plans to activate obsolete technology from a ruined age, collect the spirits of his planet’s inhabitants, and deliver them—and himself—to heaven. Gameplay joins demanding platforming and puzzle stages with a story about depression and the urge to abandon life for a short time or forever. The hand-built setting supports the challenges, while its characters and recurring symbols carry much of the narrative.
