When you live in war zone and death is hunting everyone, things will look different and choices become harder. Face your fate in an unjust war to survive with your family from the shadows of war.

Time is running against you, your family is in danger and there is nowhere to hide or to do but to get them out of home through a hero journey to a safer place.

Shooting and bombing everywhere and it will hunt you unless you make fast decisions as you progress through different events. These events are real and they will make you choose the hard way. Live or die!​

Ratings and reviews

It's a very heartwarming and educational game if you want just a little insight on what the everyday Palestian people have been going through within the past decade. While I gave it 5 stars, I do have to touch on the functionality. The controls are very simple. It's a 2D space, so you can go up, down, left, right. Maybe it was just my phone, but I found the game to be a little laggy. However, I didn't deduct a star bc overall, it was a short game. I can look past it.

It was short, sad and emotional. I was just looking to play something like this which would get over quickly so I don't care about 20 min length. Even though it was not exactly a game and was story-driven, I enjoyed it a lot more than in actual game. The music score in the background plus additional sounds actually scared me. It delivered a good message despite how sad the ending was.

Liyla and the Shadows of War is an unforgettable experience! The story is deeply moving and beautifully crafted, shining a light on real-life struggles in a way that few games dare to do. The art and music are stunning, drawing you into the world and keeping you emotionally invested until the end. This game stands out for its meaningful narrative and powerful atmosphere,,(I highly recommend it to anyone who loves games that tell important story)....
