Son of Thanjai is a cinematic action-adventure set in 11th Century South India. Step into the life of a young king, Rajendra Chola, torn between the weight of heritage and the pull of his own path. Wield the Surulvaal, protect your people, and immerse yourself in the ways of the Chola world.
Fast, fluid, and unpredictable. Inspired by the Tamil martial tradition Kalaripayattu, the Surulvaal (a deadly coiled sword) creates a fighting style unlike anything you’ve fought with before.
Every space breathes with ecology, labor, and life. Environments draw from Chola-era Tamil landscapes to create a world alive with detail.
Nothing is spelled out. Any information must be seen, overheard, or asked–sometimes with charm, sometimes under the threat of violence. Clues hide in conversations, in carvings, and in the rhythms of daily life.
Music, art, and traditions inspired by centuries-old Tamil culture, reimagined for today’s players.
