    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.

    Since I played Among Ashes last year, I've wanted something on that level of horror and A.I.LA pretty much fills the gap though not 100%. It has a strong start and end with some hit or miss moments in the middle (looking at you Ghost Ship), but its overall a solid experience with entertaining puzzles and scares.

    AILA’s unique premise has a lot of potential, but crumbles under the weight of its many moving parts. Perhaps more disappointing is the fact it never manages to say much about AI itself, nor live up to the multitude of other genre staples it insists on constantly referencing.
