About

An open-world adventure, exploration game where you tend to your farm, talk to villagers and collect stories from them to make beautiful Indian miniature inspired paintings in your own unique way.

Storyline

The story is about a teenage boy, Vir, set in a hillside village in India. Vir is an aspiring artist and creates art by exploring the ruins of an ancient kingdom in his village. In his explorations, he discovers various things and stories told by the villagers which become references for his artworks.

Vir's father, a farmer, is struggling with debt due to failed crops and loses the savings meant for his son's college.
During the course of his summer vacation, Vir gets an exciting opportunity to showcase his artworks in a gallery which will earn him a lot of money.

To fulfil this quest Vir has to create a series of paintings depicting the royal history of their village.
Every player of this game will step into Vir's shoes and explore their village and its historical ruins, find puzzling references for paintings and discover lost legends from various people while also making new friends and doing fun activities.
