Description

The fantastic world of sculptor Eve Nohl in a videogame.

'LEAVES - The Journey' is a puzzle-adventure game featuring real sculptures of Eve Nohl, presented inside the mysterious dream world they are descended from. Embark on an adventurous journey through an artful cosmos of 5 worlds and over 33 locations full of surprises, secrets and many challenging puzzles and riddles.

Story

It all begins in the stony mountains of Mononino, home to the Treefruities. Upon the player’s arrival, he causes great mischief as he becomes responsible for the fly away of the peculiar leaves that made up the Treefruities’ home. Ruefully, he begins his search for the lost leaves in this strange world, venturing to surreal deserts and forests, caves and cities, up to secret places above the clouds.

Also, the game features an atmospheric soundtrack exclusively composed for the LEAVES games. The game is a collaboration of artist Eve Nohl with programmer Moritz Krohn and publisher Daedalic Entertainment. After two years in the making, the project nears its completion.
