About the Game

A terrible secret is forming somewhere deep in Cemanahuac. Some say they saw lifeless matter come to life in front of their own eyes. The embodiment of the Smoking Mirror catches a glimpse of this, thus becoming an Interloper in a scheme that only a few know about.
He now has to cross into strange new territories far from his home in Tenochtitlan, and fight to survive, hoping to stop the plan of the unknown malefactors and finish his duties as ixiptla.
