Experiencing manic depression or bipolar disorder can sometimes feel like trying to get through a door that simply won’t open, and To Leave brings this crushing feeling to the platforming landscape.Â
Our protagonist – Harm – struggles with such ailments, and possesses a magical power in which he can open doors to different worlds, in the aim of easing the passage to heaven for lost souls.
Releasing today on Xbox and Switch platforms, following a PlayStation and PC release back in 2018, Harm seeks to recreate the beauty of hits such as Limbo, Child of Light, and Spiritfarer, both in tone and in gameplay. Across eighty unique levels, you will be tasked with navigating through the world using this interesting door mechanic, so ensure you have your thinking cap well and truly screwed on.
A full list of features includes:
- – Hand-drawn backgrounds
- – Emotional, captivating story
- – Unique travel mechanics
- – 80 levels
- – Incredible music track
It’s not just the puzzles that will have you captivated either, as To Leave isn’t scared to shy away from the darkest of issues surrounding mental health: after all, the story centres around aiding those souls that have moved on from this mortal coil, all whilst Harm himself ponders his own purpose in the world.
Deep, deep stuff indeed, and if you want to get involved, then the Xbox Store will have you covered. For £16.74 you can pick up a copy on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One – alternatively, the game is available on PlayStation, Switch and PC.
