Kamla is a first-person survival horror game based on Indian folklore and supernatural possession. Players take the role of a Tantrik priest who enters a mansion to perform an exorcism. The main objective is to collect ritual objects, solve environmental puzzles, and survive encounters with a possessed woman named Kamla. The game combines exploration, item collection, stealth, and puzzle-solving within a single connected location.

Story and Main Objective

The story takes place in India during the 1980s. Kamla married into a wealthy family and moved into their mansion. Approximately one year later, she became possessed by a demonic entity and killed several family members. The protagonist arrives to remove the evil spirit and save her. However, Kamla continues wandering through the mansion and attacks anyone she encounters. Players must investigate the building while preparing the exorcism ritual.

Exploration and Survival Mechanics

Gameplay involves navigating the mansion from a first-person perspective, examining rooms, and searching for objects required to complete the ritual. Some items are accessible immediately, while others are hidden behind locked areas or environmental puzzles. Players must remember locations and return to previously explored sections as new paths become available.

The main gameplay activities include:

·         Exploring rooms, corridors, and hidden areas.

·         Finding objects required for the exorcism.

·         Solving puzzles to access restricted locations.

·         Avoiding Kamla when she becomes aggressive.

·         Hiding from the possessed woman during encounters.

·         Delivering collected items to the ritual area.

Kamla moves through the mansion and can interrupt exploration by chasing the protagonist. Players must escape or find hiding places when she approaches. Getting caught can result in losing collected items, forcing players to retrieve the necessary objects again. The game does not feature conventional combat or numbered levels. Progress is determined by solving puzzles and completing the objectives required for the ritual.

Exorcism Ritual and Progression

The final objective involves collecting the required ceremonial objects and bringing them to the holy fire. Each item has a specific role in the ritual, and some require additional puzzle-solving before they can be obtained. Once the necessary preparations are complete, the priest performs the final prayer to remove the demonic possession. Completing the exorcism resolves the main objective and allows the protagonist to finish the mansion’s storyline.
