We're thrilled to announce that Under a Porcelain Sun is coming to Steam in Summer this year!
Inspired by, postmodern and magical realist literature, Under a Porcelain Sun is an journey that immerses you in a surreal vision of India under British rule, in early Nineteenth century.
Travel through a country caught amidst the flux of Colonial expansion in first person, as you get embroiled in the search for Kayamgadh, a city that does not exist.
Encounter, brass astronomers and tribes of wax giants, secretive langoors and indolent magistrates, wandering cities and invisible cantonments, in a story told through ever shifting frames of narration. A story that you piece together with every shift and warp in reality, and every surreal, beautifully realised environment that you wander through.
We hope you'll join us in this surreal world and add Under a Porcelain Sun to your wishlist:

The Museum of Dubious Splendors is half a storybook and half an exploration game.
It is a collection of folklore and oral tales, punctuated by peculiar rooms, that you wander through.
These tales, have been recreated from a collection of stories by Mir UmarHassan, a Gujarati poet whose works have proven notoriously difficult to translate because of the mellifluous use of Urdu and Hindi in his compositions.
The collection, entitled "in Dubious Splendor", was written (in Gujarati) in nineteen sixty two for the Malwa Chronicle, but the stories therein were mangled and edited without the author's permission prior to their publication in serialized form.
This contested collection of stories, became momentarily infamous as the subject of the first court case to arbitrate authorial ownership in Independent India.
Even today, despite countless restorative efforts by scholars, it cannot be said with with any certainty that the text that we used for this adaptation was the original as written by UmarHassan.
