The game is placed in an antique Aztec/Mayan universe in whiich players take the role of a shaman summoning mysterious creatures- namely hybrid animals made of three different spieces. I wanted to avoid all sorts of indicators, numbers, and descriptions apparent in other games of that type- in favour of colours and patterns. It makes the game more user friendly and easy to learn.
