There might be some other modern indie game trying to do what this game does, conceptually and aesthetically. Maybe for not being familiar with such games (I’m mostly playing older games) is why i found “Who’s Lila?” to be fascinating.

If you’re a sucker for games involving philosophical themes, be sure to check this game. It’s topics ranges from subjectivity, representation, time, and narrativity itself. Just like the best horror media, it’s “horror aspects” are put at service of deeper stuff.

This game features 15 different endings. Most of them can be achieved in probably just 5 minutes. Believe me, you HAVE to reach for all the 15 endings to properly experience what the game is trying to do. Anything else i say would definitely spoil the whole thing. I actually reached for 5 endings and had to pause the game for a week due to personal reasons. During that week i couldn't stop thinking about this game. When something resonates so much with you, that's probably what the best art does.

Don’t worry if you need to check on a walkthrough (which is probably the only way of achieving all the endings). It’s definitely worth it.
