    A.I.L.A is the new project from Pulsatrix Studios, creators of Fobia: St. Dinfna Hotel, and marks a creative leap for the Brazilian studio. Blending psychological horror, sci-fi, and interactive storytelling, the game puts players in the role of Samuel, a beta tester trapped in simulations created by an AI. The experiences range from supernatural adventures to medieval settings, all while maintaining narrative cohesion. Highlights include the immersive sound design, well-crafted puzzles, and challenging boss battles.

    A.I.L.A is a Brazilian title proving the market's growth, featuring an excellent story and exceptional voice acting. The game offers six unique stages, challenging puzzles, and great sound design, creating tension and fear. However, the main drawback is the clunky combat and uninspired bosses.

    A.I.L.A has a great story that becomes more interesting the more you continue, and it has a really great idea and demonstrates it very well. The gameplay is good but has much more potential due to the game’s settings and different timelines. Visuals are good, but I expected more from a UE5 game, especially regarding how the enemies look. The sound design is amazing, always making you feel watched, which makes the game a lot scarier.

    A.I.L.A presents a number of intriguing concepts for the player to chew on and initially establishes its ability to circumvent expectations and genre tropes. But as the game continues, positive gains are lost in the swamp of repetitive mechanics. Springing from psychological to survival horror to something wholly unique would have been a welcome surprise but instead, A.I.L.A stumbles right as it begins to gain momentum. Though the overarching story has its moments, players will have to wade through the doldrums to get there.

    Casting players as a game tester, A.I.L.A presents them with multiple experiences to play through, each with their own setting and enemies. What's worrying, however, is how they bleed into your reality. It's an interesting premise, but ultimately it's let down by poor combat and a general lack of polish.

    If you wanted a terrifying experience, you won’t find it here. However, if you’re not desensitized by horror as I am, then A.I.L.A should offer entertainment, tension, and intrigue with its narrative. Those who are fans of P.T. and Resident Evil should enjoy this title, so long as you’re not looking for the next influential psychological or survival horror.
