Virtualinfocom- a Kolkata based animation and gaming studio, is currently working on a new game app known as Lalkamal Neelkamal. This paid gaming app, targeting the audience who are fond of bedtime tales, will soon be available on Android and iOS platforms this January.
This game app is based on an Asian Bengali tale in which a King, who resided in Bengal had two wives and one of them was known as Rakkhashi (demoness), who was thirsty for human blood. Both these queens had a son each and named them Kusum( son of Rakkhashi) and Ajit( son of ano
ther queen). As this story proceeds further, Rakkhashi is seen gulping both the princes’. On being born again, their eggs were in the form of coloured lotuses. And that’s when they were named Lalkamal (the prince from the red lotus) and Neelkamal( the prince from the blue lotus).

Highlighting about the look and feel of this game, Arijit further says, “To add the classical element to this game, a mixture of mediums were used as. The background of this game was built in 3D, but it includes 2D characters.”
