About

Desi Adda consists of a collection of cultural games from India, based on traditional Indian sports. These include Kite Fighting, Kabaddi, Pachisi, Bagh-Chal and Gilli-Danda. The player is placed in an Indian village, where they can play the different games with other villagers and converse with them. The player will learn from the villagers of a couple in love, and must interact with different villagers in order to progress the story. An additional beat-matching dance game is unlocked by completing the story. The game is in four languages: English, Hindi, Tamil and Punjabi.
