VIDHI

An open-world body-swap visual novel set in modern India. Arjun, a CS student, and Kavya, a talented coder, are both trapped by their families—Arjun's girlfriend Meera locked in a girls' hostel by her military father, and Kavya imprisoned in medical school by her surgeon father. When Meera discovers a 14th-century Sanskrit body-swap ritual, she orchestrates a deal: Arjun swaps into Kavya's body to enter the hostel and be with Meera, while Kavya takes Arjun's body to finally experience the CS campus she's dreamed of. As they navigate life in each other's skin, they confront unfamiliar physical realities, social expectations, and family surveillance. The story explores intimacy, identity, and freedom through body-swap mechanics, where each swap deepens their understanding of one another and raises the emotional stakes. Suspicious roommates, watchful wardens, and the slow realization that inhabiting someone else's life might mean never wanting to return drive the narrative forward.
