The House of Hikmah is an adventure game for Windows that invites players to join Maya, a young girl on a quest for knowledge following her father's death. Set in a dreamlike sanctuary known as the House of Wisdom, players will navigate through nine unique worlds inspired by the achievements of historical Scholars from the Islamic Golden Age. Each world presents a series of intricate puzzles that require the use of a mysterious device to transform elements and unlock new areas.
