Heritage becomes walkable - for institutions and the public.
A Culture-Tech & EdTech platform that reconstructs historically accurate environments from paintings, letters, maps and archives - deployable by museums, universities and tourism bodies, and also released as a narrative exploration game for global audiences.
Paintings, letters, maps, archives and primary documents inform every build.
Research-led worldbuilding that prioritizes historical and cultural accuracy.
Immersive environments institutions can deploy - and the public can explore.
For institutions
Deploy historically accurate immersive environments for exhibitions, public engagement, cultural diplomacy, and tourism showcases - powered by game technology for scale and accessibility.
Immersive exhibits, contextual storytelling, digital preservation layers, and guided visitor journeys.
Digital heritage showcases, inbound interest, pre-visit engagement, and cultural districts accessible worldwide.
On-site VR stations, events, traveling exhibitions, and hybrid activations for cultural engagement.
Share cultural memory across borders through curated, historically grounded immersive worlds.
For education
Place-based learning that students can walk through. We support guided tours, lesson overlays, and structured activities that align with institutional learning goals - without turning history into a lecture.
Worlds in development
Cultural districts designed for institutional deployment and public exploration.

An institutional platform - with a public game release
The Archivist is designed first as an institutional cultural platform - enabling museums, archives, universities, and tourism bodies to deploy immersive environments for education, exhibitions, and public engagement.
These same worlds are also released as a story-driven exploration game, allowing global audiences to access culture through play and discovery - without compromising historical integrity.
One research and world-building pipeline. Multiple deployment modes.
Readiness
Working prototypes you can experience today.
Navigable districts with locomotion and interactions.
Unreal Engine demo ready for presentations.
Prepared for cultural partnerships and showcases.
Built using game engines to achieve scale, accessibility, and engagement - not positioned as a traditional entertainment-only game.
Yellow House Productions
Archivist Into the Artverse™ was originally conceived and founded by Hasitha as an independent cultural research and world-building project.
During its early development, Hasitha met Prabha, and together they founded Yellow House Productions to formally carry the project forward as a studio-led initiative focused on art, history, and immersive technology.
As the project matured, Yellow House Productions expanded to include a Chief Technology Officer, strengthening its technical foundation while preserving the original creative and research vision behind Archivist.
While the core vision and direction remain in-house, Yellow House Productions collaborates with a distributed network of concept artists, technical artists, and sound designers through its development arm, The ROI Firm.
Independent culture-tech studio founded by Hasitha and Prabha.
Core team
Founders and leadership responsible for vision, research integrity, and long-term direction.
Responsible for technical architecture, immersive systems, and scalable deployment across VR and desktop platforms. Supports institutional reliability and performance.
Collaborators & ecosystem partners
Independent collaborators, advisors, and institutions contributing to research integrity, production workflows, and cultural authenticity.
Provides cultural and historical insight supporting the reconstruction of Arles (1888), contributing local context, historical accuracy, and interpretive depth.
The ROI Firm supports Archivist Into the Artverse™ through production coordination, technical development workflows, and access to a global network of creative and technical specialists engaged on a project-by-project basis.
