Google’s Arts and Culture team has created a cute Zelda-like adventure for those looking to further their education on ancient Mesoamerica.
Known as The Descent on the Serpent, this game was made in collaboration with Mexico’s National Museum of Anthropology (thanks, The Verge). It starts off with the player visiting a museum. However, out of nowhere, the Lord of the Smoking Mirror, Tezcatlipoca, rushes in and steals an artefact on display.
This clearly can’t be good news, and soon a talking statue, which is also on display at the museum, asks for your help returning the artefact before the equinox happens. Of course, you are more than happy to offer your services on this quest as you do “love exploring”. The talking statue then swiftly transports you back in time to ancient Mesoamerica where you need to find 20 icons to return to the city of Chichen Itza.
