Mitha and The Mysterious Door: A Hidden Gem from Indonesia’s Indie Scene
United Gaming – Indonesia’s indie developers continue to impress, and Mitha and The Mysterious Door is no exception. Created by Jakarta-based Arkana Games, this watercolor-inspired puzzle adventure blends charm, mystery, and emotional storytelling. Its demo, now available on Itch.io, invites players into Mitha’s curious world.
On the surface, the story seems light. Mitha is a girl excited for her birthday. Players join her daily routine, solving relaxing puzzles through beautifully hand-painted scenes. But beneath the cozy gameplay lies something strange. A deeper mystery brews.
Hints scattered throughout—including hidden Morse code on the game’s page—suggest a more complex narrative. Every puzzle unlocks another piece of Mitha’s truth, drawing players closer to an emotional revelation.
Arkana Games created this title with a purpose. The story reflects their concern for children facing hardship, though they reveal this message subtly through gameplay. They don’t preach. Instead, they gently guide players to feel and reflect.
This marks Arkana Games’ third release, following two mobile titles: Bos Cupang and Ahli Neraka Tycoon. Unlike their previous projects, this game arrives exclusively for PC. It’s a sign of growth and ambition, setting the stage for bigger things to come.
The demo is now up on Itch.io. It’s short, soothing, and packed with intrigue. Players can enjoy a slice of the game’s atmosphere while sensing the emotional weight behind each scene.
Mitha and The Mysterious Door looks soft, but it speaks volumes. It’s thoughtful, gentle, and quietly powerful. As indie games continue to evolve, this one stands as a reminder: some of the most meaningful stories come from the smallest studios.
