Who's Lila?
"It's difficult for me to express emotions. I envy other people."

Who's Lila? More like what is Lila? A brilliant Lynch-ian narrative journey? Philosophical drivel nestled in dream-like landscapes? An out of the box puzzle game about cults, eldritch monsters, tulpamancy or simply the ramblings of an antisocial psychopath? Well, it's a lot of things. And it's got some of the best music i've heard in a game in recent times.
At its core, Who's Lila is a puzzle game, but it feels obtuse to just leave it at that. The game mechanic is pretty unique: your protagonist has never been able to naturally tune into people's feelings or subconsciously show emotion. So it's up to you to correctly "morph" his face into the appropriate emotion for the social context you're in; and you better be quick about it too! This game is very open-ended and has multiple endings and is quite character-driven. It has its pulse on a lot of philosophical issues and imo explores them beautifully! Who's Lila has so so many layers and works on so many levels that you just need to PLAY THIS!
