Liyla and The Shadows Of War

Description

Liyla and The Shadows of War is a powerful narrative-driven experience that puts you in the heart of a family's struggle to survive during a brutal conflict in Gaza. As bombs rain down and danger closes in, you must make urgent, life-or-death decisions to protect your loved ones.
