Set in the vibrant yet turbulent era of early animation during the Weimar Republic, you play as Leni, a determined young animator striving to preserve a forgotten tale through the trials of political chaos and artistic revolution. Through interactive storytelling, players make crucial decisions that shape Leni's journey as she battles against censorship and the rise of oppressive regimes, while navigating her complex relationships with her fellow artists—each driven by their own passions and fears. With each decision, players will unlock animations and drawings that reveal divergent narratives, ultimately leading to a pivotal moment: the chance to create the world's oldest surviving animated feature film.
