Story and gameplay highlights

The adventure follows journalist Nico Collard as she investigates a ruthless drug gang and unexpectedly encounters an ancient artifact. The obsidian stone draws Nico and her companion George Stobbart into a mystery involving intrigue, deceit, and antagonists determined to carry out their ambitions.

The game frames its plot around Mayan mystery themes, including kidnapping, stolen treasure, astronomy, and encounters with a deadly drug baron—plus divine forces that threaten mankind. The developer positions the experience around nerve, cunning, and guile.

Gameplay is described as classic point-and-click, featuring challenging puzzles, and offering two ways to experience it: “traditional mode,” and “story mode,” which provides subtle hints for players who want to focus more on the narrative.

Finally, the reforged edition will be fully voice acted in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
