Who's Lila is an indie Mystery Adventure Game with Psychological Horror elements from February 2022, created by the Russian solo developer Garage Heathen, who also created Your amazing T-Gotchi!.It is a David Lynch-esque reverse-detective point-and-click game where you control the actions of a student named William Clarke. A unique feature of this game is that in addition to the traditional point-and-click elements, the player is offered no control over the dialogue, instead they influence the conversations of the game by shifting Will's facial muscles to construct his expressions. As Will explains to the player in the introduction, showing emotions is just not something that comes natural to him, and he has never really gotten the hang of facial expression in particular, so he hopes that with their help, he will be able to make a good impression on other people, or, failing that, at least not come off as too strange around them.But things get complicated when a local girl, Tanya Kennedy, has gone missing, and all evidence points to Will. Will the player keep their cool, or allow Will's emotions to run wild? Will you dig into all the endings to uncover as much of the puzzle as you can? And will you find the answer to the game's most burning question:Who's Lila?

Multiple Endings
 Who's Lila? (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: There are fifteen endings, plus a few secret ones. In some sense all endings exist within the same continuity, as you are expected to use information from some ending paths to reach others, and there are even items that persist between playthroughs. Ending 0- The Fool: After provoking Mark into pushing him off of the school roof by repeating Tanya's words to him, Will awakens, unharmed, in a completely empty hospital. As you go up and up each level of the place, Will watches as he and Lila have a series of conversations about perception and the self, with each conversation making her less and less human until she turns into something looking like an ophanim and the staircase leading you up the hospital breaks down. Will climbs a nearby ladder, goes through a veil of fabric, and exits into a forest with a film projector showcasing an image of Lila.. You remove the reel from the projector, before discovering a boat that takes you down a river that begins to disappear until the game resets. This ending is almost identical to the game's "The Hanged Man" and "The High Priestess" endings, with the lack of the wheel from the "Wheel of Fortune" ending being the only real difference and interference with the projector. Ending II- The High Priestess: After provoking Mark into pushing him off of the school roof by repeating Tanya's words to him, Will awakens, unharmed, in a completely empty hospital. As you go up and up each level of the place, Will watches as he and Lila have a series of conversations about perception and the self, with each conversation making her less and less human until she turns into something looking like an ophanim and the staircase leading you up the hospital breaks down. Will climbs a nearby ladder, goes through a veil of fabric, and exits into a forest with a film projector showcasing an image of Lila.. You ignore it, before discovering a boat that takes you down a river that begins to disappear until the game resets. This ending is almost identical to the game's "The Hanged Man" and "The Fool" endings, with the lack of interference with the film projector being the only real difference. Ending III- The Empress (Reversed): Seeking out the second caller from earlier, Will discovers Strupnev, a remnant of Father Lawrence's cult. When Strupnev, sensing that Will is still in contact with Lila, attacks him, Will traverses a series of boiler rooms and eventually reaches a room that Lawrence was said to have left for Will. Will unleashes a being referred to only as "The Empress," who seemingly devours Strupnev and chides Lila for releasing her, before leaving the player with a set of numbers: 43033. Ending IV- The Emperor (Reversed): Taking the bus to Father Lawrence's apartment, Will finds a book of instructions left for him; following them, he stares into the center of a mandala-like image, which transports the player to a dream-like dimension. After interacting with a wax statue that Lila describes as a mirror to Will, a member of Lila's kin advises you to download the DAEMON DLC, and to interact with the phone in the front room with it as soon as you get the chance. Ending V- The Hierophant Ending VI- The Lovers Ending VIII- Strength: After returning to his apartment post-murdering Tanya's friend Martha, Will winds up being interrogated by the police. If you appear distressed enough throughout the interrogation, Will cracks under the second officer's questioning, confessing to murdering Tanya. Ending X- Wheel of Fortune: Achieved by successfully traversing the looping boiler room puzzle. You eventually reach a large machine, which addresses both Will and Lila, before gifting you a large metal wheel, at which point the game resets. Ending XII- The Hanged Man: After provoking Mark into pushing him off of the school roof by repeating Tanya's words to him, Will awakens, unharmed, in a completely empty hospital. As you go up and up each level of the place, Will watches as he and Lila have a series of conversations about perception and the self, with each conversation making her less and less human until she turns into something looking like an ophanim and the staircase leading you up the hospital breaks down. Will climbs a nearby ladder, goes through a veil of fabric, and exits into a forest with a film projector showcasing an image of Lila.. You replace the wheel you received from the "Wheel of Fortune" ending with the one of Will, then discover a boat that takes you down a river that begins to disappear until the game resets. This ending is almost identical to the game's "The Fool" and "The High Priestess" endings, with the new reel and interference with the film projector being the only real differences.

 Who's Lila? (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd
comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Lila does this, with some her dialogue referencing the player directly. Even the player's own attempts to answer the core question of "who's Lila?" ultimately lead to this. Tanya has an argument with Garage Heathen, the game's developer, on Twitter. She also retweets a portrait of Lila prior to the game's release.

Frame-Up: Everyone thinks Will's responsible for Tanya's death. In reality, her death is orchestrated by Lila and the Stranger in the Lovers ending. Even Tanya knows he didn't do it. This can also happen to Mike in one ending, where the real killer, the titular Lila, is able to get the police to go after him instead.

First-Episode Spoiler: In a sense. There are multiple routes you can take, but the one you are encouraged to go through first is the school route, where it is revealed that Lila is possessing William Clarke, which is referenced in other routes. Despite this being a big twist, you can find it out as early as the first play through (in a game that takes at least 15 playthroughs to get all the endings) and much of the underlying mystery and lore revolves around it.

Teens Are Monsters: Multiple examples: William is often bullied by other students. Danny, Martha's crush, takes advantage of her feelings for him. Tanya although immediately apologizing after, lashes out at Will in their first meeting. William, under Lila's control, is incredibly spiteful toward the students around him.

The surreal, Lynchian presentation, Anachronic Order, and branching paths make figuring out what is going on very confusing at first, but the more you progress, the more things begin to come together.

Riddle for the Ages: The question of "Who's Lila" itself. The game presents many, many conflicting and vague solutions, and lampshades that fact in the dialogues with Detective Yu. It's outright explained in one of the endings that the entire purpose of the game's world is to make the player feel like they are figuring things out, but remain unclear what the truth is.

comment
Foreshadowing: In William's apartment hangs a painting of John Collier's Lilith, aka Lila. When Will and Tanya dance, an image of an owl is shown, which is associated with Lilith. Most characters, when speaking, have their name displayed in their text box. Strangely, William does not... because it's not really Will.

Oh, Crap!: During the interrogation, it's possible for Detective Fisher to inform Will that a female torso was found outside his apartment. Will's reaction is a Big "WHAT?!" and an immediate wide-eyed look of terror (by comparison, other times Will's face moves on its own during gameplay, it assumes an expression over several seconds — here, it's almost instant).

Abusive Parents: Will's mother was a smothering woman who felt the need to be in control of Will's life and know every intricate detail of his life. She was also emotionally abusive, once berating him and a girl he brought over since he showed interest in girls before the age of 16.

Fiery Cover Up: Detective Yu and his men are responsible for the fire that seemingly killed Father Lawrence and his cult. It's because the FBI have been using "Ultra-Influencing Works of Any Media" for last decade or so and Father Lawrence caught on.

No Social Skills: Played with. While Will knows what socially appropriate behavior is supposed to be, he has little-to-no intrinsic ability to make appropriate facial expressions for most situations. That's the area where the player is supposed to help him.

Shout-Out
 Who's Lila? (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Several, mostly to the works of David Lynch. The dumpster right outside William's apartment is directly based on the ones seen in Mulholland Drive. William/Lila hiding in Martha Jennings' closet is inspired by a similar scene in Blue Velvet, of which the player finds the movie poster there. Lila outright calls it the only good thing in the room. The Stranger is inspired by the Mystery Man from Lost Highway. An alternate color palette that is unlocked from the start is named "Blue Rose", an important term in the Twin Peaks series. There are a couple of others in the palettes: A trash can outside the entrance of the school is described as being empty; doubling back unlocks the "Manful Soul" palette, a reference to Manly Badass Hero, who played the game's demo (and the full version as well). Manly has a Running Gag in his playthroughs noting that trash cans are "empty, like [his] soul". The player can find the skull of Nowak from Brutal Orchestra, which grants them a palette named after him.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Lila teases Detective Yu as to what her real nature is: a Tulpa, or Will's coping mechanism in response to trauma, among other things. Evidence points to the former.

Incriminating Indifference: One of Will's problems is that he often outwardly shows little-to-no emotion in tense or emotional situations, making him come off as strange to other people. One of the player's tasks is trying to prevent him from doing this.

comment
Alternate Reality Game: The game utilizes several aspects of ARGs to solve some of the game's mysteries: Spectrogram images can be found for players willing to seek them out. Morse code in hidden areas can reveal an answer to one of the game's mysteries. Finding some of the game's secrets requires corrupting a save file. The Lovers and the Sun endings require the player to find a character's Twitter. The player has to download files and read articles outside the game itself to have a better understanding of the game's story. There is a piece of free DLC called the DAEMON which, when downloaded, runs in another window and gives the player clues on how to progress. Doing so is necessary to complete the game.

Suspiciously Specific Denial: In the beginning, you find a handsaw next to a trash bag in Will's apartment kitchen. Examining it says it's used for farming... However, there could be some truth here, given how Lawrence's cult indulged in animal sacrifice and Lila can be fed by human sacrifice as well.
