“恐惧来源于未知——某种意义而言,来源于对自身选择所引出的后果的未知。在诡秘而错综复杂的剧情之余(鉴赏家篇幅有限,聊剧情而不剧透很难),《莱拉是谁》善于让玩家在充满陌生感的矛盾中做出选择:“我”需要在步步惊心的交流中找对答案,更要同自己的面部肌肉斗智斗勇;配合画面中一张张在恐怖谷边缘徘徊的表情,游戏利用多方面的氛围构造,将那剂量虽小却足以致命的“恐惧感”,深深扎入了玩家的灵魂深处。”

Reviews

“It’s a very unique adventure and the facial expression manipulation isn’t just a gimmick – it’s an integral part of the gameplay that has a big effect on how others react to you”
Alpha Beta Gamer

“I just love the presentation and the quirkiness of the mechanics, but more importantly, the storytelling elements and unsettling atmosphere”
Vulgar Knight

“I did enjoy times I fumbled the expression I was trying to form, taking conversation in a direction I certainly hadn't intended but the game was prepared for. Also, William's face often ends up looking silly, and silly faces are funny.”
Rock Paper Shotgun

About This Game

Who's Lila is a point-and-click adventure where, instead of choosing dialogue options, you control the character's face manually.


Life’s never been easy for William, but today is special – a girl named Tanya Kennedy suddenly goes missing and the only thing Will's friends know – he was the one to see her last.

Will you remain secretive and make William act as though nothing happened, or will you let true emotions show through his mask?

In Who's Lila, a specifically trained face-recognizing neural network allows you to make this choice! In dialogue, instead of choosing a text option, input facial expressions by moving parts of the character’s face. The neural network will then analyze the emotion and output the result, thus progressing the plot.


Apart from the struggles provided by your own face, you will be met with a gritty dither-punk world of Who’s Lila. Prepare yourself for dream-like landscapes, surreal architecture, steam-filled factory interiors, and David Lynch-inspired beauty of the industrial and the mundane.
