Clean up leaves in a peaceful landscape to start Among the Leaves. Strange discoveries and minor environmental changes suggest a far worse truth beneath the surface.
What begins as relaxing garden labour becomes a mystery with lost items, fragmentary evidence, and rising anxiety. Daily reveals another story to be told.
To progress, players must remove half the leaf-covered ground each day over four days. Hidden objects appear as the surroundings is exposed, revealing clues to a broader mystery.
Observation is key. Curiosity leads to discoveries that could otherwise be buried in fall detritus.
Daily environmental changes occur naturally. The mood gradually becomes uneasy as new discoveries, slight visual alterations, and odd encounters occur.
There are 13 hidden objects in the experience. In finding them, we find story fragments and the truth behind the apparently normal situation.
Among the Leaves builds suspense without continuous action through atmosphere, sound design, and ambiguity. Patterns are broken by surreal moments, which provide meaning to discoveries.
In Among the Leaves, rake the leaves to reveal secrets. If you like atmospheric mysteries and environmental storytelling, play Backrooms: Escape Together to unearth another unnerving story.
