    Games with traditional art and music always stand out to me. I love when visuals or soundtracks are directly inspired by folklore—it just gives the whole experience a unique and authentic vibe that you don’t get from generic themes. Recently, I read this fascinating article https://moviden.com/how-indian-folklore-inspires-the-next-generation-of-game-developers/ about how Indian folklore is inspiring game developers, especially in terms of art and music. Do you have any favorite games where the visuals or music are clearly rooted in real stories, legends, or cultural traditions? I’m always looking for new recommendations that offer something a little deeper than the usual.

    Absolutely, I feel the same way! Folk-inspired visuals and soundtracks totally change the atmosphere of a game for me. One of my favorites used traditional instruments for the music, and every scene felt so much more immersive and powerful because of it. I also love when games incorporate real patterns, colors, or artistic styles from different cultures—you can really feel the connection to the stories and traditions behind them. It’s like experiencing a bit of living folklore while you play!
