Release Date: April 24, 2018
A difficult 2D platform game, in which you play as a character floating in midair on a magical door. Even the smallest mistake resulting in touching the ground or one of the many obstacles, which forces you to start a level over.
To Leave is a 2D platform game, in which you move through the levels by floating on a mysterious flying door. The production was developed by indie Ecuadorian studio Freaky Creations, whose members paid a high price to work on video games, forgoing more profitable careers. To Leave is their first game and it’s supposed to reflect the hardships they had to go through to pursue their dreams.
The protagonist of To Leave is a young man named Herm. He lives in a hostile, suffocating city of Candice, whose citizens cannot leave it. Herm suffers from depression and can barely get out of bed every day. He eventually decided to escape his monotonous life and to his surprise, discovers that the door to his flat is magical and allow him to fly.
During the game, you go through expansive 2D levels full of various dangers. Herm is constantly floating mid-air, holding onto the door. In each level, you have to avoid obstacles and gather blue spheres, which are your unusual vehicle's fuel. The game requires good concentration, reflexes, and precision, as even a small mistake can force you to start a level over. The same happens when your door runs out of power.
The visuals of To Leave resemble hand-drawn children's books or comic books. The graphical effects and animations are of high quality, as are the sounds and music.

Game Ratings for To Leave Video Game.
Push Square: 6 / 10 by Liam Croft
To Leave is certainly a competent 2D platformer, but its brutal difficulty is sure to stop the majority of its players from even finishing the game. Fortunately, its story and visuals are keen to excite to the point where they may just about be worth your frustration.
GamePitt: 6.5 / 10
To Leave is a very hard game and it’s no joke when the beginning message even tells you so. Normally I’d just scoff at that kind of comment, but they really meant that the player would be put through some wild tests of perseverance. There’s lots of depth and a great story within the narrative, but ultimately, only those with the patience will make it to the end. Perhaps that’s what the game is truly about?
Video Chums: 7.4 / 10 by Tyler Hall
Despite one truly frustrating level, I had a pretty good time with To Leave and enjoyed the incredible challenge that it presented.
