About This Game

One night, a mysterious email lands in Kyra’s inbox. By answering it, her world changes forever.

Mithra is a hand-drawn mystery adventure about falling down a sinister rabbit hole to expose one of the world’s oldest cults. Solve environmental puzzles and cross paths with a cast of eccentric locals in a globetrotting adventure that gets seriously surreal. What begins as a single missing-person case pulls Kyra deep into something far larger, as she discovers that her ties to an ancient conspiracy run deeper than she could ever have imagined. It's a race to unravel the truth about her past - and a dark mystery that leaves her life, and the fate of the entire world, hanging in the balance. 

Navigate a deep narrative mystery through choice-based conversations with a cast of intriguing allies and adversaries. Talk your way through a cast of locals and oddballs, each with their own quirks to navigate as your exchanges shape the texture of Kyra’s journey. Every encounter pulls you into something new. Decide Kyra’s fate, rescue her Mum and seal the destiny of a world-threatening sect before time runs out. 

Unravelling a 2,000-year-old cult takes more than pixel-hunting or jamming two inventory items together and hoping for the best! In Mithra, observation, exploration, and lateral thinking are how you make progress. Take on layered, hand-crafted puzzles that shift with every location - decode cryptic codes, uncover hidden messages in your record collection, discover hidden secrets in a secluded courtyard, use a drone to survey points of interest across the capital. From environmental logic to layered brainteasers, each puzzle is built around where you are and what's really going on there. Plus, there are plenty of secrets waiting to be found…

Kyra’s investigation will take you through stunning 2D environments on a global scale, all rendered in a beautifully handmade visual style. Walk the rainy streets of London, wander Beijing's lantern-lit hutongs and search through a sun-bleached Roman piazza - every location is packed with hidden details and secrets to unearth. The further you fall into the cult’s world, the muddier reality gets - every step pulled along by an incredible reactive soundscape that shifts with your every move. 

Mithra grows out of the golden age of adventure games and takes it somewhere new. It's got the bones of a classic point-and-click, carried by hand-drawn craft, a story that gets under your skin, and puzzles that feel satisfying to solve. While proudly wearing its influences, Mithra carves out an atmospheric, captivating genre all of its own. Come and get lost with us.
