'Samudra' Scheduled For Release In June - Screens & Trailer

Samudra is a 2D surreal adventure game with a theme of environmental awareness & an emotional twist.

Set in the abyss of a polluted ocean, Samudra is a new puzzle adventure that takes you on the heartfelt and educational journey of a boy coming to terms with the underwater destruction created by the human race.

On your journey to the surface you’ll explore and solve puzzles in the once beautiful but now toxic underwater environments. With the use of minimalist controls, Samudra’s gameplay works as a stimulating puzzle experience as well as a cozy vessel taking you through the stunning, if not polluted, set-pieces on offer.

Samudra is built from the sea bed up with stunning hand-illustrated artwork. From dystopian-like backgrounds to empowering beasts of the abyss, the art of Samudra help tell the story of struggle, both in the oceans of the world as well as the struggle with mental health.

Samudra is one of the five winners of the Unity For Humanity Grant; a program within Unity Social Impact that celebrates and empowers creators who are using real-time 3D to inspire change! Each winning project is awarded funds along with mentorship and technical assistance to advance their Unity experiences. This makes us the first Indonesian Studio to win this award!

Since the beginning of it’s development journey 2 years ago, developers Khayalan Arts have worked with non-governmental conservation charities. Spreading the message of sea pollution and protection of sea wildlife is at the forefront of both Samudra’s narrative and Khayalan Arts beliefs.

Uniquely designed without dialogue, Samudra is accessible across lingual and auditory borders. We seek to share awareness about pollution with audiences around the globe and inspire one another to take action. The profits from this project are channeled towards year-round collaborations with the Indonesian environmental activist circle to minimize plastic usage in Indonesia to 70% by 2025.

Samudra will release on PC (Steam) in June 2021.
