An educational experience of the early modern Ottoman world
Seyahat: A Journey to Mecca
Seyahat: A Journey to Mecca is a free educational game developed in the Unity Game Engine for Windows and Mac. The game is being designed by Dr. Tyler Kynn (Central Connecticut State University).
The game is designed to introduce students and players to the social and cultural history of the early modern Ottoman Empire.
The game is currently in development and will be released chapter by chapter on Steam. This site will include lesson plans for how to utilize the currently released chapters of the game.
Seyahat: A Journey to Mecca is the spiritual sequel to the educational free browser-based game The Hajj Trail developed by Dr. Tyler Kynn and Dr. Russ Gasdia in 2020-2021.
This game similarly explores the social and cultural history of the Ottoman world using the hajj journey as an interpretative foil - however, The Hajj Trail is primarily text-based and was developed with the open-source program Twine.
As Seyahat is still in development feel free to help contribute to the project in the Discord linked on the Steam homepage for the game.
