The House of Hikmah

about the game

In the wake of her father’s death, Maya enters the House of Wisdom, a dreamlike sanctuary filled with centuries of knowledge. By transforming elements with the help of a mysterious device, she must decipher ancient puzzles created by historical scholars. Each door she opens brings her closer to understanding her father's legacy… but unveiling the past means unleashing the shadows within. Maya must find the light to forge her own path through grief.

The House of Hikmah is a narrative-driven 3D adventure game exploring grief, legacy and the search for answers after profound loss. Solve puzzles, encounter historical scholars of the Islamic Golden Age, and uncover timeless lessons in a beautifully imagined House of Wisdom.
