9 itemsAbout the Game
Rakshasa is a first-person RPG that will take you on a journey through the fractured soul of modern India, from luxury apartment blocks to decrepit slums and ancient temples. Immerse yourself in a dense urban Indian landscape with visuals influenced by both classic RPGs and early-00s digicams.
After an illicit excavation at a nearby ruin site awakens your dormant Tantrik powers, you are thrust into a hidden war involving rogue sadhus, scheming asuras, and centuries-old flesh-eating monsters. You will have to navigate a web of shifting alliances, fight for your life against supernatural horrors, and unravel a deepening conspiracy that threatens to consume the world.
Every character has a motive. Every choice matters.
In Rakshasa’s urban India, monsters are real…and they’re hungry.
