Dal Baati Voyager: India's Premier Cultural Adventure Game

🎮 Dal Baati Voyager is India's first culturally immersive adventure game that takes players on a journey through India's diverse landscapes, myths, and traditions.

Since its launch in 2022, Dal Baati Voyager has become a phenomenon in Indian gaming, with over 5 million downloads across Android and iOS platforms. The game's unique blend of entertainment and education has made it particularly popular among families and educators.

Gameplay Mechanics

Dal Baati Voyager features an open-world environment spanning all of India's 28 states and 8 union territories. Players control a customizable character who travels across the country, completing quests that teach about local cultures, cuisines, and histories.

• 🍛 Cooking mini-games featuring regional Indian cuisines
• 🎭 Dialogue systems with regional dialects and languages
