narayana games is an independent game studio founded in Munich in 2011 by Jashan Chittesh. Its current primary project is Resonance Lounge - a VR/AR/mobile social music platform targeting a fall 2027 release, built on over a decade of VR game development experience and a vision that goes well beyond games.
The studio is built on two pillars:
- Conscious Game Design
We believe games are among the most powerful forms of communication humanity currently has. What drives every design decision is a single question: what does the world actually need us to express right now? That question has no permanent answer - but keeping it alive produces game experiences designed to enliven rather than exploit, to connect rather than isolate, and to respect the player's time, attention, and intelligence.
Resonance Lounge extends this philosophy beyond games entirely - into a social platform where Identity, Presence, and Resonance form the foundation of how people find and connect with each other across VR, AR, and mobile.
- Collaborative Creation
narayana games works with contributors across multiple countries on a model of equal pay for equal time and co-ownership based on contribution - because the people who build something together should share in what it becomes.
