Summary

"Seyahat: A Journey to Mecca," a free-to-play 2D RPG created by Central Connecticut State University history professor Tyler Kynn, is now available on the Steam platform. The game serves as an educational tool, allowing players to explore the cultural history of the 17th-century Ottoman Empire and Islamic world. Dr. Kynn, whose research focuses on the hajj in the early modern period, is also a co-creator of The Hajj Trail, a digital simulation of the hajj journey. His upcoming book, A Season for Empire: The Hajj in the Early Modern World, explores these themes further.
