Happy New Year 2024! First of all thank you for trying out the Prologue and providing amazing feedback. Your reviews and messages helped us improve the game as we finish the development.

New Features

Much requested feature of mini-map widget is now available in the top right corner to help navigate the world.
New crafting table to help make herbal remedies and yummy Indian pickles.
Now you can take a nap till teatime or skip time to sleep through the night.

2023 Recap

It has been a wonderful year for us. Starting with the feature in LudoNarraCon and then in Wholesome Direct, the game was discovered by thousands of new players.

Towards mid 2023, we got selected for the prestigious Microsoft Xbox IDAP which provided financial assistance for development and porting the game to Xbox consoles.
Soon after the team got selected to participate in Wings Elevate program sponsored by Netflix. This program provided wonderful mentorship opportunities as well as financial assistance for development.

Looking Forward

Development of the full game is going on and is about to hit the finish line soon. New release trailer is ready but you'll need to wait for a release date announcement before we can show it. Join us on our Discord to follow the project and help us make the game better!

We are so excited to be featured on LudoNarraCon from 4-8 May. Join Yadu Rajiv, founder of gamedev.in as he plays the just released prologue of The Palace on the Hill. The game is an adventure-management game about a boy from 90s rural India and his struggles to go to college. Filled with activities like making art, growing vegetables, managing a tea shop and running errands for quirky NPCs, the game gives you a relaxing slice-of-life village experience with an uplifting story. Hope you enjoy and please do try it out for yourself. You can keep up with the developers on Twitter and Discord. Do check out the other wonderful games participating in LudoNarraCon.
