Malhaar is a musical slice-of-life RPG!
You become the inheritor of your grandfather’s workshop back in Sindhu. As a young boy, can you carry on your family’s legacy of being musicians and instrument-makers? But, it’s not just about that, is it? Legacies are forged over generations. It’s your job to play Raga Malhaar at the festival this year to invoke rain that even the spirits can feel.
