A couple of years ago, my girlfriend worked at a Museum, located in downtown Mexico City. A lot of people visit Centro Histórico every day, but most tourists don't realize just how spooky the story of the place is. That's why we wanted to make a horror game based on our cities history and folklore. Here's the intro for MEXICA MUSEUM:
"The Mexica Museum is located in Mexico City’s historic center. It was built during the country’s colonial era on top of the ruins of the Mexica civilization, which existed in these lands for centuries. This civilization was enslaved, massacred, and stolen from their territory to make way for the Spanish conquerors. The museum walls were built using the same rocks that formed ancient and sacred temples, stained with the blood of the indigenous civilization that originally founded this city. Many vestiges of this civilization co-exist with the daily life, and the accelerated pace of the city. The ruins of the Templo Mayor (a neighboring relic of our museum that you can visit with the same access ticket!) and other nearby archaeological sites are very popular tourist attractions. It is believed that many important sacred ruins are still buried under the streets through which thousands of people circulate daily and have not been touched for centuries. Many people claim that this area is saturated with shrines, human remains, ghostly apparitions, treasures, and even a door to another dimension - all waiting to be discovered. Important findings made during the modern era of Mexico City, –when it grew, giving way to construction works for new buildings and services– seem to confirm, at least, to some extent, centuries of folklore and legends. Most of the artifacts that you will see in our exhibition are part of these findings made throughout the history of the city and have an incalculable value to our nation."
The game is based on gruesome true stories & legends from mexica (a.k.a. aztec) culture. Each scenario tells a different small story, regarding rituals, artifacts, or something else about aztec mythology. Hope you're interested in playing!
