Unleaving is OUT — a celebration of a thousand paintings and puzzles
Unleaving explores themes of self reflection and celebrates the beauty of human experience and invites players from all backgrounds to join the adventure.
Unleaving borrows its title from Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poem: ‘Spring and Fall: To a Young Child.’ The game brings the poem to life by transforming its words into a playable experience. It blends physics-based challenges with a metaphorical narrative, inviting players to explore life’s deeper questions through the eyes of a child.
Unleaving is available now for PC on Steam
now the game is out and I have made a video featuring thousands of paintings for launch Check out the video. The players and media see the game as a new fresh experience, as puzzles in interactive paintings. I’d appreciate it if you could add the video or consider it for featuring.
Unleaving has been receiving positive feedback from both players and media outlets:
Players are saying:
“An interactive painting. Unleaving describes itself modestly as “Limbo, with a splash of color” and that is quite an apt way of thinking of this gem. Throughout this ~3 hour experience, you will be delighted by its art, music, and clever gameplay. Everything is hand painted, and it shows: it’s one of the most beautiful games in recent memory.”
Media outlets are saying:
“This game certainly hit me in ways that I don’t recall experiencing before”
9/10 — The Gaming Outsider

Now that the game is officially launched, it has resonate with gamers who have a passion for both games and art.
Pablo Picasso once said: “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once they grow up,”. “With Unleaving, players can treat their experience as their own personal journey. Like children expressing themselves freely, players are encouraged not only to solve puzzles, but to look further into the
questions that each challenge poses and interpret the experience in their own unique way. We want to inspire introspection and curiosity, inviting players to embrace the boundless freedom of expression reminiscent of childhood, exploring wider perspectives, inhabited from judgment — a childlike spirit
transcending status, age, beliefs.” — Sura Karnawi, orangutan matter studio co-lead.
