Khvafar Vakharia (Co-Founder, Equinox Virtual) said “Gaming, as a medium, adds layers of depth and complexity to narratives that few other platforms can offer. We have reimagined ancient characters for the age of digital interactions. The sheer depth and breadth of gameplay that is possible due to the proliferation of characters and their stories in Indian Mythology makes the game extremely engaging.”
