A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

This game was created as a thesis project at the NYU Game Center.

Rayha’s Poem is a third person narrative platformer about a young girl running away to the mythical Fairyland to escape injustice.  Drawing on themes of South Asian folklore and contemporary social issues, Rayha’s Poem seeks to tell a tale that’s both out of, as well as a product of, its time – a narrative that melds the always-relevant curse of forced marriage with the eternal dream of a land free from woe.
