Okay, so, I just stumbled upon this game called Rakshasa, and I'm already hooked. It's like someone took Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, mixed it with Baldur's Gate, set it in modern India, and then threw in a bunch of flesh-eating monsters from Indian folklore. What's not to love, right? I mean, seriously, sign me up! The trailer itself is dripping with atmosphere. Think gritty cyberpunk, but grounded in a familiar urban setting. You're not just running around shiny skyscrapers; you're exploring ancient temples, rundown slums, and even swanky apartments. I'm getting the vibe that the environments are going to be super detailed, which is a huge plus in my book.

From what I can tell, there's even a timing element involved when you're attacking. It's hard to say exactly how it'll feel in the heat of battle, but since it's an RPG, you know there's going to be upgrade trees and different builds to play around with. Oh, and did I mention you can throw snakes? Because you totally can. The coolest thing about Rakshasa, however, is that it's being developed by a YouTube channel called Odd Compass. These guys usually make animated history videos about lesser-known events and figures in Asian history, especially in India. Their videos are seriously well-made, so if you're a history nerd like me, definitely check them out.
