Rama, Sita and Lakshman look out over a golden valley of temples, waterfalls and mist

Ramayana: The Journey Begins

Chapter One · Ten Levels · More to come

The world moves to make the path.

An epic, told in stone and light

Walk with Rama, Sita and Lakshman
from the gates of Ayodhya into the forest.

A calm, hand-crafted puzzle adventure in the spirit of Indian miniature painting. Tap to walk. Turn carved wheels and whole temples swing into place. Move the sun and a shadow becomes a bridge. Every path you take is one you built by looking closely.

This is only the beginning. The story will carry on all the way to Lanka and to Ravana himself. New chapters will bring more levels, new characters and new puzzle ideas.

The journey, in one minute

Chapter One

Ten places. Ten ways of seeing.

Each level brings a new rule for how the world can change, and asks you to think a little deeper than the last.

    The puzzle language

    Nothing hangs in the air.
    Every path is real.

    A camera turn never makes a path. Structures move until their ends truly meet, and only then can Rama walk. Try two of the ideas below.

    Levels 1 – 6

    Turn the stone

    Tap the wheel. The bridge turns a quarter at a time. When both ends meet the landings, Rama can cross.

    The bridge points away.

    Level 7

    Walk the shadow

    A shadow on still water can be walked. Choose the light. Only one hour lays a shadow from bank to bank.

    The morning shadow falls on the bank.
