Amo Tocaitl (Concept)

This is an idea I've had brewing for a long while of breathing life into the absolutely gorgeous artworks of the Mexica peoples and building a world based off of what we know about their mythology and culture! For those interested, I have created a devlog about the full scene-by-scene break down of the individual mechanic ideas and visual elements further down at the end of this description, but for those who only want a brief pitch of the idea:

Journey through the world of Ancient Mexico on a quest to prevent the end of the age of the Fifth Sun and save the world. From the rich and lively city of Tenochtitlan, down to the dark abyss of Mictlan at the roots of the world tree, you'll uncover the secrets which this land holds, gain powerful abilities, and encounter numerous gods and goddesses. I would ask if you could do it all in 5 days, but with the God of Time on your side you're bound to succeed eventually...right?

Note: Please excuse the Chacmool scene for having a lower visual fidelity, I had to export it as a jpg in order to be below itch's 3MB size limit

Note Note: I am not a trained scholar on the Mexica. No matter how dedicated my research, I am still very much a hobbyist and I'm certain I'll overlook, forget, or oversimplify details in this description. I'm more than happy to receive any feedback and critiques on that front. And also Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!
