Play as Prince Sayri, and save the memory of ancient civilizations from wicked magic that aims to destroy the stories that contain it. Become part of beautifully crafted 2.5D worlds from Native-American folktales, and battle against an evil invader army threatening their disappearance. How much of each story will you be able to preserve for future generations to come? Become a Guardian of Lore and find out!

Venture into the Mystical Library, where the knowledge of conquered civilizations lost to time was recorded in books of folktales and myths. With the power of the Amulet of Yebichai, bring the world of each book to life, meet unforgettable stories and characters, and fight to keep the Lore of old alive!

The locations and enemies have strong influence in its visuals, which can be defeated with weapons or magical spells. Each one also has a boss which gives you its knowledge after being defeated. This knowledge gives the prince new powers and abilities, which will become important tools to protect the mystic library and maintain the legends to the future generations to come. 

The ideia behind this plot comes from Leopoldo Aizersztein mind, head of Round 2 Games: “I've been a little tired of always facing the same type of enemies in video games. When I started making my research into LATAM mythology, The Walking Dead was at its peak and EVERYTHING was zombies related. Also, I heard of a couple of myths that were really interesting/funny. I was a fan of Greek Mythology, Roman, Nordic, and so on, but I feel like it's been enough”. 

There are countless versions of each story, there aren't real written records of any of them, so I had to choose each of them carefully trying to be as truthful to them as possible”, says Leopoldo. 

In my opinion, it’s amazing what we’ve accomplished", Leopoldo added. "We struggled with bugs, criticism, and who knows what else, but now, I can honestly say that we’ve done a game in Ecuador that is able to compete internationally in the market. I think the whole team has put some part of themselves in this game and I couldn’t wish for more”.
