Antariksha Sanchar

Antariksha Sanchar (also known under the English title Transmissions in Space) is an episodic point-and-click adventure game deeply rooted in Indian culture. The developers at Quicksand GamesLab are responsible for the creation of the title, drawing inspiration from the famous self-taught Indian mathematician Srinivas Ramanujan and the equally popular dancer Jayalakshmi Eshwar, who also took part in the development of the game.

Story

The action of the game was set in the early twenties of the twentieth century, in the region of southern India, filled with small towns and ancient temples. In the game we play the role of a brilliant mathematician whose aim is to explore the secrets of the cosmos and the possibility of its exploration by man.

Mechanics

This game is a classic point-and-click adventure game, in which the essence of the game is the exploration and solving various logic puzzles. The action of the game is observed from a third-person perspective, and the camera, depending on the situation, positions itself behind the hero's back, from the side or in isometric perspective. During the game, we traverse picturesque towns and ancient temples, filled with relics of ancient Indian civilization and riddles related to the scientific achievements of ancient Hindus. Thanks to numerous references to the old and contemporary culture of the country, Antarisha Sanchar, in addition to its purely entertaining qualities, can also successfully serve as an encyclopedia of Indian culture.

Technical aspects

Antariksha Sanchar is characterized by colorful, fully three-dimensional visuals, in which deep inspiration of Indian culture, art and architecture are clearly visible. The whole things are complemented by a soundtrack in a similar style, consisting of classical works of Carnatic music and achievements of contemporary Indian electronic music creators.
