About AiliA
AiliA is a puzzle platformer where you control a girl named Ailia who navigates a surreal world of mirrors. Developed by IceToad Studio and published by Gamera Game, it launched in January 2026 for PC. The game combines spatial reasoning puzzles with a story about Ailia’s search for her captured twin sister, Lia. You solve challenges by manipulating reflections and crossing mirrored environments. Its core gimmick is using real-world mirror logic to create paths, avoid hazards, and unlock secrets. The aesthetic is minimalist but atmospheric, with levels designed to feel both disorienting and elegant. If you like thinking in reverse and bending physics to solve puzzles, this one leans into that niche.
Gameplay
Each level in AiliA is a maze where you manipulate mirrors to redirect Ailia’s path. You rotate reflective surfaces to create routes, sometimes needing to stack multiple mirrors to reach distant areas. Puzzles require understanding angles, depth perception, and how reflections interact with obstacles like spikes or moving platforms. Controls are precise but demand patience, misaligned mirrors mean dead ends. Sessions often involve trial and error, with a focus on spatial problem-solving over action. Later levels introduce shifting environments and hidden layers, like mirrors that reveal past memories. The game’s pacing is deliberate, with each puzzle building on the last. It’s not fast or flashy but rewards methodical play.
What Players Think
Community feedback is split but leans positive. On average, players spend 8-10 hours completing the base game, with 45% finishing 100% of puzzles. The game holds a 7.8/10 on critic sites, praised for its clever mechanics but criticized for repetitive level design. On PlayPile, 62% of users rate it “Worth It,” while 28% call it “Meh.” Achievements are available but not particularly challenging, with 75% of players earning the majority. Common praise highlights the “refreshing” use of mirrors as a core mechanic, though some call the story “underdeveloped.” Reviews note the game’s “calm vibe” but also “occasional frustration” with puzzle repetition.
PlayPile's Take
AiliA is a niche pick for puzzle fans who enjoy spatial challenges. Its mirror-based puzzles are inventive at first but can grow repetitive. The story is sparse, leaving emotional payoff underwhelming for some. With no multiplayer and a base price of $24.99, it’s best for players who prefer slow, thoughtful puzzles over action. If you’ve enjoyed games like Monument Valley or The Witness, AiliA’s mechanics might hook you. However, if you’re looking for variety or a strong narrative, this one might not stick.
