MAYA: Seed Takes Root is a narrative-driven game set in a unique universe on planet Neh, created by filmmaker Anand Gandhi and game designer Zain Memon. This full-version game delves into themes of control, perception, and collective consciousness through a society connected by a sentient tree network, allowing citizens to enter shared dreamscapes. The story introduces the Divyas, immortal beings who manipulate desires and data from the shadows, creating an invisible system of control that influences the lives of the citizens.

The gameplay challenges players to recognize and disrupt this pervasive control structure. By focusing on the internal conflict of individuals who become aware of their situation, the game invites players to explore the implications of freedom and choice within a complex narrative. As the first installment in a broader MAYA universe, it sets the stage for future stories across various mediums, blending ancient philosophical ideas with contemporary themes.
