Unleaving

Unleaving is a metaphorical, story-driven game built around illustrations, puzzles and skill-based challenges. Its title comes from Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem “Spring and Fall: To a Young Child,” where the falling leaves of Goldengrove represent the transient nature of life.

Paintings and animation

The game is also an extended series of multimedia paintings and drawings. Every frame is hand-painted, with pencil and graphite puzzle elements integrated into the artwork, and traditional painting animation brings the visuals to life. Each scene is new, with no repeated scenes.

Story and puzzles

Puzzles and skill-based challenges are woven into the story. Each chapter follows a specific theme that shapes its mood, emotions and story, as well as its colors and visual style.
