Lili
Navid Khonsari & Vassiliki Khonsari / 2025

In an Iranian city, Lili, the lonely wife of a militia commander, plots a murder to secure her husband’s rise within a corrupt regime. But when the killing unhinges the order of things, she is drawn into a network of deep web hackers—modern-day witches—who weaponize hidden truth. This stylized neo noir game adaptation of Macbeth unfolds through smartphones, computer screens, and deep-state surveillance, immersing players as hackers in the oppressive surveillance state.

Lili is making history as the first ever video game at the Festival de Cannes!

LILI ushers in a new era where mediums don’t just collide—they collaborate to reimagine what stories can do, and where they can take us.

The partnership between iNK Stories and the Royal Shakespeare Company is a landmark collaboration, bringing together two creative forces to unlock the profound potential of adapting Shakespeare’s timeless masterpieces for contemporary audiences. It pushes the boundaries of storytelling, marking an inflection point in the depth of expression within commercial video games and expanding the creative vision of the RSC into new, interactive territory. A video game based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth is a thrilling endeavour that transforms one of literature’s darkest and most compelling tales — of gender, ambition, fate, power, and morality — into an immersive, interactive experience. — Vassiliki Khonsari, Co-Founder of iNK Stories
