Unleaving is a 2D puzzle platformer that weaves grounded physics and skill-based challenges into a metaphoric abstract narrative prompting players to ponder introspectively. The title is inspired by Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem: 'Spring and Fall: To a Young Child.'
Márgarét, áre you gríeving
Over Goldengrove unleaving?
By illustrating the opening lines of the poem in playable form, Unleaving explores the metaphor of 'Goldengrove' losing its leaves through a child's eyes and in a literal sense, invites players to experience different portrayals of the transient experiences of life. The use of real-life art serves to create landscapes that further grounds players in the world of a living painting, encouraging appreciation of both virtual and real beauty.
