Catacombs of Pataliputra

About this Game

Pursued relentlessly after being falsely accused of treason, Viraj—a former scribe with keen observation and a sharp mind—descends into the shadowy catacombs sprawling beneath the bustling Mauryan metropolis of Pataliputra. Navigating suffocating darkness, unstable tunnels, and makeshift barricades, he must evade city guards, competing fugitives, and informants motivated by reward or revenge. Every resource—food, water, medicinal herbs—is scarce, and disease and starvation stalk every hiding place. As Viraj forges and breaks alliances with fellow exiles, he pieces together the web of political conspiracy that betrayed him, uncovering the ruthless ambitions driving the empire’s elite. Survival demands vigilance and adaptability, for trust is dangerous, and the greatest threat lies not just in the catacombs’ perils but in the hearts of men.
