Featuring Balinese folklore and spirituality, this game invites players to delve into a world filled with mystery, ancestral heritage, and the enigmatic Leak sacred knowledge.
Titled Niskala: Sacred Knowledge of Leak, this game was officially released on Steam on July 25, 2025, by Pandora Entertainment Games, in collaboration with Primakara University.
Niskala follows the story of Putu, a young student living in the city. His life changes after the passing of his grandfather, who, before his last breath, whispered something meaningful to Putu. Shortly after, Putu experiences supernatural disturbances believed to be connected with the Leak knowledge, a sacred wisdom said to be passed down through generations.
Haunted by strange and inexplicable events, Putu embarks on a journey of self-discovery and truth. Along the way, he faces deception, failed treatments, and mental trials until he finally meets a figure who helps him understand the true meaning of the inheritance he received. This spiritual adventure becomes a turning point in both Putu’s life and the player’s.
With a respectful approach to local culture and spirituality, Niskala: Sacred Knowledge of Leak is more than just a game. It reflects the beauty and complexity of Balinese heritage in a form that can be explored, felt, and understood by anyone, anywhere.
Developed with a local touch and a collaborative spirit from Indonesian developers and educational institutions, this game serves as an example of how traditional wisdom can be elevated to the global stage through modern mediums.
