A child is tempted one last time by life's mystery and illusions to journey into a surreal world challenging ideas of everything and nothing
About the story
When everything seems hopeless a child is awakened by the whispers of the last leaf, drawn into an imaginary world. Unleaving is a story-driven puzzle platformer told through a child's eye in a world brought to life like a painting. Unleaving guides players on an introspective journey rather than imposing its meaning. Just as art is often open to interpretation, Unleaving puts the experience in players' hands as they navigate puzzles with minimal direct storytelling. Players will explore a surreal world where every scene is a new painting, as if stepping into a living painting. With no repeated puzzles or paintings. Unleaving invites players to explore a dream-like world filled with metaphors, personal interpretation, and try by death mechanics.

Critic Reviews
God is a Geek
By Chris WhiteUnleaving is a beautiful game with some impressive artwork and variety in its puzzles that keep you hooked until the very end.
Spaziogames
By Stefania SperandioUnleaving is a fascinating game to look at and a frustrating one to play. The puzzle design is uninspired and based on a cycle of trial-and-error ideas and, despite the fact that i just lasts a couple of hours, it fails to make you feel captivated and motivated by the gameplay. The art direction and the atmosphere are top notch, but those are unfortunately the best things Unleaving has to offer.
Rectify Gaming
By Rectify GamingOverall, Unleaving is a unique game with an amazing visual display of handpainted frames to make an abstract story. While the puzzle design is good, the puzzle’s difficulty level might make players quit the game early in frustration.
Softpedia
By Cosmin VasileUnleaving is a unique experience that will draw players in with its unique presentation, especially the painted art style, and its lyrical approach to narrative. The title does not try to explain everything but manages to communicate emotions, some of them deep and dark, others hopeful and bright.
