15 itemsAbout the Game
In Raahi, you play as Sandy, a tuk-tuk driver in 1990s Goa. Pick up passengers, drop them across town, and get pulled into the small stories of everyday life.
Race for the championship. Fish by the coast. Help at a dhaba, a roadside eatery. Make feni, a local cashew spirit. Upgrade your ride. Collect cassettes from real independent artists.
Or don’t.
Take the long way home. Nobody’s rushing you.
Some passengers are gone after one ride.
Others become familiar faces. Then regulars. Then friends. Some may become something more, if that is where the story goes.
Conversations branch. Choices stick. People remember how you treated them.
A small fare can turn into a long story
There’s always a way to make money.
Drive fares through beaches, markets, old churches, back lanes, and coastal roads. Fish and sell your catch. Help out at the dhaba. Make feni. Take odd jobs from people around town. Enter weekly races for prize money, reputation, and a shot at the championship.
Spend what you earn on your tuk-tuk. Tune it, upgrade it, make it faster, tougher, and more yours.
Or save your money and take things slow. That works too.
Take on mini games that bring extra charm to Sandy’s journey. Win the local street race, help vendors, take quirky passenger challenges, and unlock new upgrades for your rickshaw as you build your reputation and relationships across town
Every song in Raahi comes from a real independent artist.
Find cassettes around town or get them as gifts, keep your favourites in the tuk-tuk, and swap tapes whenever the mood changes.
Some rides need silence. Some need the perfect song.
Roam a sandbox inspired by 1990s Goa: beaches, markets, old churches, roadside eateries, quiet homes, coastal roads, and narrow lanes under a full day and night cycle.
It is a world of cassette tapes, handwritten signs, evening errands, monsoon air, old friendships, and engines cooling after a long day.
A corner of the past, rebuilt for you to drive through.
Stories that stay with you, long after the ride ends.
