To Leave Now Playable For PC And PS4
Ecuadorian studio Freaky Creations has just published To Leave, an action platformer with a deep hidden message. Exploring mental issues like clinical depression and self-harm, To Leave stars a young man searching for meaning — literally, by using his magic door to fly around and collect energy.
The energy is called Vibrance, and if Harm (the character’s name) doesn’t collect enough of it, or takes too much damage, despair will overtake him. Once enough Vibrance is collected, Harm can use it to break open locks and open new paths. The ultimate goal is to activate something called the Origin Gate and escape.
“To Leave was born of a desire to create a ‘digital talisman’ – interactive software that allows players to experience pure ecstasy, rage, and joy,” says Jorge Blacio, producer at Freaky Creations. “Calling To Leave a ‘game’ ends up being too limiting – and we’re incredibly proud of the finished product.”
