About the Game

Play with up to 10 players online, venture deep into the Mapinguari's Temple and collect all three hidden artifacts to ensure a successful expedition! Be careful, however, for not only a dreaded monster roams the Temple's corridors but also an amalgam of deadly traps and a deceitful cultist, disguised between you.


Explorers:
  • Win by collecting all the three idols hidden inside the dungeon.
  • Talk to nearby players (or using the radio) to coordinate the exploration.
  • Find the lost gun so the bodyguard isn't alone defending you comrades, and do it before the cultist finds it first.
  • move items around, such as keys or barrels, and solve the puzzles scattered throughout the dungeon.


Cultist:
  • Summon the Mapinguari so it may hunt down your enemies (be careful, he may kill you as well).
  • Be the last one alive to win the game!
  • Use tricks such as turning off all the lights, blocking paths with objects, or stealing and hiding the idols!!
  • Find the lost gun to slow down or even kill the other players.
  • Travel the dungeon quickly through secret passages only you can access.


Bodyguard:
  • Be the judge, jury and executioner, as only you starts the game with a gun.
  • Be careful, for everyone knows who the bodyguard is.
  • Protect the explorers and hunt down the cultist.
  • Slow down the monster with your bullets.


MACE: Mapinguari's Temple is a game where you can:
  • Talk in-game with other players, either by proximity or usign the radio function.
  • Customize your experience: not up for a competitive game? Play without a cultist and transform the game into a group horror game.
  • Choose a character to play and customize it by changing it's colors!
  • Play with accessibility features, such as high contrast.
  • Find any match quickly by searching the server list!
