Lakshmi is an experiment in the integration of narrative, illustration and interaction. It’s story is the Indian creation story called ‘the churning of the ocean’ and it’s visual style is inspired on old Indian miniatures. The main experiment lays in the hiding of the story interface, merging it with the illustration to make the story-space as immersive as possible. There is no text, just a voice to which you have to listen careful to de-cypher the hints to get on in the story.
