This entertaining and one of the most beautiful indie games won smartphone owners, and even managed to "light up" in the series "House of Cards." If you dive into a magical fantasy world "impossible architecture» Monument Valley will not leave you indifferent, monumental wells in the heart of India will impress you even more.

Three years ago Victoria Lautman - journalist from Chicago - for the first time wrote in his blog on Tumblr about his impressions from the visit of Indian Wells, called in English "stepwell". These structures are referred to as "endangered species" of architecture: they break down slowly and forget about them.

Hard to describe just how impressive these massive underground temple. Quite inconspicuous from the outside, inside they are striking in their depth and mystery.

They are designed to access groundwater in areas where the climate is almost always dry, spring and monsoon rains only occasionally saturate the ground with water. From the fourth to the eleventh century, these wells were improved in terms of technology and art, later they started to build on the orders of patrons. Creating monumental to keep forever.

It seems that it is here Monument Valley designers drew inspiration from, creating a colorful game world. More photos of these majestic subterranean temples can be seen in Victoria's blog.
