Thank you for your unwavering support and candid feedback. We hear you, and we want to share how your voices have shaped DEVI: A Light in the Dark —a reimagined narrative mystery born from the heart of MISSING.
[b]Why DEVI?[/b]
The shift to Devi—a 15-year-old detective in rural India—stems from our mission to 'balance social impact with engaging gameplay'. While Champa’s story remains foundational, we realized that Devi’s perspective could:
[list]
[*] Amplify Player Agency: Solve mysteries through clue-driven detective work, stealth, and morally complex choices.
[*] Broaden Reach: Highlight systemic issues (caste divides, trafficking) through a relatable, empowering lens.
[*] Preserve Authenticity: Explore rural India’s vibrant villages, where societal rot hides beneath tradition.
[/list]
We believe, if you play the demo you will feel. this isn’t a departure from MISSING’s mission—it’s an evolution to ensure the game resonates deeply while driving change.
