About
Enter the desert city of Leas, where humans dwell in safety behind their walls while strange and powerful fae roam the wilds. Play as one of a rare few skilled enough to explore the outside world: an agent of Den Zarel.
After making a dangerous discovery, you are sent on a mission by your Den that unfolds into an adventure that will unearth more than expected, and more than you alone can handle.
Fortunately, you'll have help along the way. A lifelong friend hiding a dangerous secret, a mysterious and taciturn rogue, and a brilliant and charming mage unite under your banner to help save your city, and possibly, the world.

Really well written with a captivating story. Many choices and deep characters as well. I really enjoyed it! :)
A pretty good read, a fun cast of characters and a wonderfully built world. The careless trait is just... perfect. I hope more comes out of this as it seems to be planned, kudos to you dear writer keep up the good work.
This one is truly a hidden gem from Hosted Games. I love the writing, the setting and the story so much! It offers a deeply immersive sense of place. I can't wait for the sequel to release. <3
i really loved this one thoughts about the story the detailed descriptions of the enviroments and people and histories are really appreciated why wouldn't they just communicate normally they obviously have the capacity to do so it just feels like it's delaying the inevitable reveal could the novel magic be a human-fae past collaboration also why does it kill some and not all and was just laying around since the death of io nobody in all that time ever noticed or interacted with it how did virano come upon it i understand a scientist is supposed to make risks but that was beyond reckless and it ended up being the core conflict point if they were ever truly devoted towards progress they would've done better but incompetence is likely what's gonna happen next are people going to shun such odd magic just because of how it was misused giving it a permanent dangerous lable is there going to be a new form of discrimination is the new magic a new form of connection between human-fae that would revive the dream of co-habitation that's why the other cities need to be introduced to it via magic tower-tree what would one need to do/be to control such magic we didn't get an explanation about the history of normal magic itself
"Leas: City of the Sun" was a great read and well worth the price tag. I thoroughly enjoyed it, though the game’s status as the first in a series was evident at every stage, which made some elements feel incomplete. While the story does reach a fairly satisfying conclusion of sorts, the romances have barely started, and the skills remain quite low by the end. That aside, I loved the creative setting and compelling characters, and I only noticed a handful of small errors, such as my love interest being misgendered at one point, but it was far from significant enough to impact my enjoyment of the game in any way. (8/10)
Id rank this pretty high up in terms of writing cant wait for the sequel
Ignore how it says I've only played for 6 hours, as two of those hours were spent on the demo, which steam doesn't add. I'm also terrible at giving reviews, but I loved this game so much I had to leave my thoughts. My first play through of Leas has left me wanting so much more, and I'm excited to see how this story will continue in the future with the next game! I found myself falling in love with the characters, the story, and the setting the more I learned about it and the world. At first, I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy a text-based RPG game as I am a very visual person. However, the descriptions of everything really helped me to mentally visualize what was happening and allowed me to be engrossed in the story more than I've been engrossed in any other game recently. Something else I appreciate is how skill checks work in this game. Even if you fail a check, its not the end of the game. I definitely plan on replaying through the story to see different paths and romance options.
What a little gem. Loved the characters, the world, the pacing, the story, the choices. Writing is really strong in this one. The world needs to see more stories like this.
Good
will read again 10 outta 10
