About Rudravati: Curse of Bhankilla
Rudravati: Curse of Bhankilla is a first-person supernatural horror game set in the real-life Bhangarh Fort of India, a location shrouded in urban legends. Developed by LeZit Games and released in 2026, it tasks you with figuring out the mystery of your missing brother while navigating the decaying ruins of a cursed fort. The game leans into eerie atmospheres, environmental storytelling, and jump scares tied to local folklore. With a single-player focus, it blends exploration with tense survival elements. The setting, a mix of crumbling architecture and dense jungle, aims to immerse players in a haunted world where every shadow feels alive.
Gameplay
You spend most of the game walking through dimly lit corridors, scanning walls for clues, and avoiding spectral entities. Combat is minimal; the main threat is stealth, forcing you to duck behind pillars or hold your breath to avoid detection. The camera tool lets you capture evidence of paranormal activity, which unlocks lore or triggers story beats. Puzzles involve deciphering cryptic symbols or aligning ancient mechanisms, often under time pressure from approaching ghosts. The controls prioritize mouse-and-keyboard responsiveness, with a clunky UI for managing inventory. Sessions often feel like creeping through a spooky museum, where progress hinges on observation and timing.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 8.2/10, but community moods are split: 62% feel Anxious, 28% Curious, and 10% Tense. Average playtime is 10.5 hours, with 38% completing the story. Critics praise the setting’s authenticity but note repetitive gameplay loops. One review calls it “a decent scare-fest with a strong sense of place but no lasting depth.” The 35 achievements are mostly story-linked, with 68% completion among earners. While $29.99 is reasonable for an indie title, 15% of players report technical issues like stutters in open areas. The game resonates with fans of atmospheric horror but struggles to maintain long-term engagement.
PlayPile's Take
Rudravati works best as a short, spooky trip into Indian folklore. It’s ideal for horror enthusiasts who enjoy slow-burn tension over action, but don’t expect a impressive narrative or gameplay innovation. The $30 price tag and 35 achievements make it a low-risk purchase if you’re in the mood for eerie exploration. However, its reliance on set-pieces and occasional technical hiccups limit its replay value. For a one-time haunted fort experience with decent jump scares, it’s a solid pick, but don’t expect to revisit it often.
