Mystic Pillars is an original blend of intriguing puzzles and an immersive storyline set in Ancient India, providing you with a unique gameplay experience.

In a major crossover between Indian cinema and interactive entertainment, Mystic Pillars x Kantara update marks a significant expansion to the game. The new free update introduces a narrative collaboration inspired by the cinematic universe of Indian movie Kantara by Hombale Films - blending folklore, spirituality, and logic-based gameplay into a culturally rooted gaming experience.
The expansion includes:

Play as a mysterious traveller whose journey across the world lands you in the kingdom of Zampi. Resolve the drought plaguing the once-prosperous kingdom of Zampi by solving puzzles and destroying the magical pillars blocking the water.
