Antariksha Sanchar – Transmissions in Space
Here we have the first episode of a transmedia cultural experiment from Quicksand GamesLab in collaboration with Jayalakshmi Eshwar, UnBox Festival and BLOT
Antariksha Sanchar is a point-and-click adventure inspired by the dream theorems of prodigious mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan and originating from an opera by the classical dancer Jayalakshmi Eshwar. It takes place in the early 1920s in a temple town in South India.
Quicksand GamesLab is seeking to amplify India’s timeless philosophies and vibrant mythologies, and to create an inspiring Indian narrative that celebrates the puzzling magnificence of Indian culture in a secular, interactive and accessible format.
Indian culture is a dynamic, free-flowing, encompassing expression of the Universe and its unsolvable magic. The Antariksha Sanchar project will connect these ancient expressions with our digital culture and retain them for future generations in an innocent and inspirational form.
The game has been Greenlit and its first episode, Antariksha Sanchar: Episode Zero, is set to be released in September 2016 for Windows and Mac.
