In 2010, \u300aLimbo\u300b tells us that black and grey can be most impressive despite the high-end graphics surrounding us. And for now, a new indie mobile game,\u300aLiyla and The Shadows of War\u300bhas came to both platforms. It may look similar to\u300aLimbo\u300b in surface, but I am sure that it contains even more shocking content that won’t disappoint you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life in aftermath: layers of shadow<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The game settings are all based on real scenarios that the design team have researched in Palestine under war. Such an ironic statement to claim as the game looks just the same as other action platform game. The war refugees are living on such \u201cexciting\u201d scenarios everyday. The game contains a little bit puzzle, quick-time events and even RPG elements, making it entertaining besides the serious narrative.<\/p>\n

Enter Liyla\u2019s world<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Before the game, please make sure you stay at a dimmed silent corner — doesn\u2019t mean that it is a spooky game, but to get really concentrated on it. Be prepared that everything happens in a sudden, together with the excellent sound effects making it impressive and unforgettable. That is Liyla\u2019s world, dark and shocking, you will never know when your surroundings are being destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run Liyla! Run!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Simply have a glance on the name, you may guess you are the girl called Liyla. Yet, throughout the whole journey you are the one who run aside her, all you want to do is to protect her. Still, in such chaotic scenario, you even cannot secure your own live. The only thing you can do is to lead her run from the shadows of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dilemma under guns<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As a father, you should properly educate your little girl, even under full sky of missiles. During your journey to escape from battlefield, you and your little girl encounter dilemmas that need your decision in seconds. Take it serious because they are all actually happened. Think about it after you have make the choice. At last,maybe none of us had a chance to determine Liyla\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"image03\"<\/td>\n\"image06\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This has happened; and could be happening now.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a very upsetting story inspired by a war in Gaza in 2014. This game is not being played for fun, but to remember, to spread the \u201cSOS\u201d from Palestine. Because everyday there are still wars and refugees, children and women died in ignorance. Numberless of them are forced to play such \u201cgame of escape\u201d in real life. The whole team of game production are volunteers. They are not dedicated for money , but to feature real incidents like the fall of buildings, UN schools and even ambulances. All they want is to arouse the awareness from public, remind the man-made catastrophe being covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
