Nikhil Murthy is the mind behind The Quiet Sleep, a fascinating Indie game that combines tower defense and city building ideas. The twist is – you’re developing your mind, and tackling real life events as simple as talking to others and as complex as overthrowing a local government. We’ve been playing The Quiet Sleep over the past few weeks now, and wanted to hear from Nikhil about his inspirations for the game, and his thoughts on the game development scene in India.

Vague Pixels is a Indian indie game studio made up by two 15 year old school friends Mridul Pancholi and Mridul Bansal. About Vague Pixels Vague Pixels was founded in 2016 by two school friends, Mridul Pancholi and Mridul Bansal (yep, quite the coincidence, sharing the same first name), when they were in 10th grade.

Before Vague Pixels, Mridul Pancholi was alr...
