THIS IS NOT A GAME. THIS IS ART YOU PLAY WITH A CONTROLLER. Disclaimer: I've followed this game's development from its inception to launch. As someone who's seen this idea evolve and as someone who's been lucky enough to meet several indies, I do not consider To Leave to be a video game, in the strict sense of the word. To Leave is a new approach to literature and digital painting, where an interactive component of the experience involves difficult challenges with a controller input. The game is morally complex, and the start of the experience involves a hefty amount of lore and reading. It is designed to be cathartic, and so its difficulty, its art, characters, and challenge curve are all intended. For the player expecting a platformer, this will feel like a confusing tapestry of artwork where Harm serves as a twisted vehicle to empathize with many a dark self-reflection. However, it is also a story of purification and self-discovery. Players who enjoy literature will find more th...

Nothing I'd like more than to recommend To Leave, but if you'll follow these links, you'll see just how disinterested the developers are, despite every attempt (again and again) to let them make things right. https://steamcommunity.com/app/896340/discussions/0/1729837292642795984/ https://steamcommunity.com/app/896340/discussions/0/1742229167198480647/ Sorry, but if the game can't be played, and developers have ZERO concern, what else is there to do? (I wish the developers were as quick to respond to SERIOUS ISSUES as they are to praise-filled reviews.) Thank you, readers.

SPANISH VERSION Aún no completo el juego en su totalidad pero estoy fascinada con lo que me ha mostrado hasta el momento. El arte y diseño gráfico de To Leave es lo primero que me cautivó. La musica por su parte, te envuelve y acopla perfectamente a cada escena. Es muy gratificante observar un trabajo de tan buena calidad artística realizada por talento ecuatoriano. Con respecto al juego de la puerta, lo que al principio parecía sencillo, luego se torna un poco frustrante por la dificultad del juego a medida que avanzo a los siguientes niveles. Leer los journals de Harm para mí son esenciales ya que logran engancharte con la historia, conocer más de su mundo, su mente y sentir empatía por el personaje principal. ¡Definitivamente vale la pena jugarlo!

To Leave is a thoughtful, beautiful, and well-made game. I love the story, and I've enjoyed learning about the main character, Harm. I was triggered by the preface, but not necessarily in a negative way. I just felt a lot of sympathy for him which got me hooked. Apart from the narrative and storyline, the art/graphic design, effects, and music complemented each other amazingly- making it a work of art. For me, To Leave has been challenging but very addicting and entertaining, I can't wait to see how the game will unfold. Definitely worth playing it!

A refreshing gem that will test your patience. To leave is a charming journey that will put a smile on you; the pleasant graphics, astonishing soundtrack, and on-point platform dificulty are ingredients that enrich the experience of playing this game. the story may seem confusing at first but it presents you with certain details that gives a small glance about the emotional state that someone like Harm (To leave's protagonist) is facing in life. This truly is a game worth playing

Imagine playing Super Meat Boy, but instead of a speedy platforming hero you're controlling a hot air balloon attached to a set of dumbbells. Now imagine every single platform is moving apart and away from you at the same time, and their speed, acceleration, momentum and rest position all seem random. Now imagine that the layout of the level is slightly different each time you start from a checkpoint instead of resetting. It's a shame- I wanted to like this game, to see where the story was going, but there's no excuse for bad, imprecise controls in a game where you die in one hit.

Hardcore Old School difficult game with deep deep story and a fucking amazing soundtrack, tripy as hell.

Look man, if u're looking for a game with unique story and art. Go buy this game! but you have to remember that in this game, your main enemy is the control and the level design (?). At first, it's just another cool looking game with unique gameplay. But after a while, when you finally reach some level, the game is just starting to become harder n harder. Well, not in a way that challenging harder, but in a not enjoyable harder. Atleast, that's what i felt. *sorry for bad english

A little bit slow at the intro, but things go more exciting along the way. The levels increase difficulty even if im "manco". Everyone should give it a try cause the art on the game was like an abstrac art <3

i miss you cuz </3
