Liyla and The Shadows Of War

My Brother across the world,

I've been thinking long and hard about how I can use my small platform to champion the Palestinian cause and contribute in some small way to the end of the genocide on your people by the zionist project.

If, by some miracle, you're still able to check in on this game, I would be honoured to speak to you.

PEACE be with you. May your children grow old in a Palestine free from occupation.

Game ini bagus, bikin sedih dan bersyukur juga bersamaan....

Oh God what can I say how can I express my feelings. This fantastic game caused such sadness in my heart that I cried for a very long time. I wish everyone in this world all the happiness and above all health that one day we will all be one and love and respect each other .A girl from the Balkans greets you.❤️

كل ما افتح اللعبة تيجي لي رسالة تقول ملف vcruntime140.dll مفقود وبعد ما نزلت الملف ما اعرف شو اسوي ينفع الحل بليز رجاء الرد

Well, didn't expect that to hit as hard as it did.

Less is more, truly.

Also sad to note that this was for the 2014 war and, well, you'll have seen the rest.

Free Palestine Forever Forever

The game is not very long but it serves as a means of publicizing the hardships suffered as well as giving others an opportunity to empathize with a bad view of the conflicts that led to many innocent and unnecessary deaths due to being in an armed conflict.

I had the opportunity to get to know and try this game thanks to a bundle on itch.io to help the Palestinian people and from that package, this is its flagship game.

Mechanically it does not offer much but it does very well to show the many misfortunes suffered such as destruction of infrastructure, deaths of infants, places that were thought to be safe and were demolished, etc. A game worth trying at least once.

I went into this without much expectations.  It was a very short game but very moving and emotional. My 3 yo daughter sat in my lap about halfway through and was asking me so many questions I struggled with answering. I had tears in my eyes at the end and was hugging and sniffing my child.

Free Palestine.

Call for no war

Fantastic! I have just completed a course in game design at Dar al-Kalima college in Bethlehem. I wish I had known about your inspirational game. Let us meet at the al Sidwali juice bar in al-Manarah next time I am in Palestine.

I got this in the Indie Bundle for Palestinian Aid, but decided to play the Android version. It's a good message. Other reviewers have already commented on it, so I will not talk about that. But it's not really a game, more like an interactive animation as it is linear and limited. No matter what you do, Lilya and her mother get hit by bombs. It's very short, only around 10 minutes. It's also not replayable as you have seen exactly 100% of the game when it closes. For that reason, I believe it would be more fitting as a web app than a downloadable one. I guess it was the most featured game in the bundle as it can serve as a sort of "intro" to why the bundle was made, and it's not bad at that. I do hope if the developer goes on to make more games, they will be amazing.

I'll check out the other games in the bundle such as Celeste and Baba is You for some actual gameplay.

The game is an important insight at the atrocities of war, directly retelling some aspects that people in that area needed to go through in 2014. As such, it has some emotional elements that can be rather impactful and I am glad more people get to play it now. However, as a game, it is admittedly a bit lacking with relatively simple mechanics and quite a few bugs I encountered with missing music, exponentially overlying sound effects and progression bugs. However it is short and I believe playing and seeing what the game wants to say is important so go check it out.

seriously heartbreaking, but also beautifully created. It was as if I was right there in the moment and my heart truly breaks for the victims and the people that are suffering. The animation, the music, the story was all so beautiful and I sincerely felt as if I was experiencing all the horrors. It truly opened my eyes about the horrors of war , really thank you for making this.

many thanks for the team who helped create this. its such a powerful message to send to the world through video games. it was absolutely heartbreaking الله يرحم موتانا و موتى المسلمين 

beautiful game, thank you for creating this work of art

Thank you so much for making this. As a Palestinian growing up in America, I was never able to imagine the terror that those still living in Gaza and the West Bank have to go through. The scene with the kids playing soccer was unbearable, and seeing the number of deaths and injuries was truly heartbreaking. This is a masterpiece that I will share with my family and friends.

Absolutely beautiful. This game made me cry. The graphics are wonderful, the music is wonderful.

أشكرك على ابداعك رغم الظروف.
