About the Game

Deep within Mictlan, the realm of the dead, something has disturbed the balance.

A corruption born from the world of the living has spread throughout every corner of the underworld. Even the god who rules this domain has fallen under its influence. Spirits grow restless, ancient guardians have lost their way, and that which was meant to remain in harmony now stands on the brink of collapse.

Against this darkness, only one hope remains.

A small axolotl.

Embark on an adventure where every step takes you deeper into a world inspired by Mesoamerican mythology, filled with mysteries, dangers, and ancient entities. Travel through procedurally generated paths, uncover forgotten relics, face mighty guardians, and unravel the source of the corruption consuming Mictlan.

Mictla is a challenging puzzle roguelike deckbuilder where strategy is everything. Every battle tests your ability to create patterns, make the most of limited board space, and turn simple moves into devastating elemental combinations.

Throughout your journey, benevolent spirit companions will fight by your side. They may look adorable, but beneath their charming appearance lie powerful allies capable of completely changing the way you play.

Combine magical cards, relics, and familiars to create unique synergies. Experiment with multiple upgrade systems and discover strategies capable of turning an impossible situation into an unexpected victory.

And yes, I want to be honest with you...

Mictla is not trying to be an easy game.

It was designed for those who enjoy learning, adapting, and overcoming challenges that seem impossible at first. Every defeat is a lesson. Every victory is a triumph worth celebrating.

Play alone or alongside a friend.

If you enjoy a challenge, we invite you to descend ever deeper. The lower circles hide greater dangers, stronger enemies, and secrets reserved for those who refuse to give up.

The balance of the universe is fading, and Axolopochtli has already begun his journey.
