Chantlicoatl

From the author:
The game was originally created in 2020 and was released on forums and websites of the Polish RPG Maker scene. After 5 years, I decided to present it to a broader audience. To do so, I decided to upload it to this site as well and translate the game into English. For now, the game is available for download in Polish only. Soon, a patch will be released to improve certain aspects of the game. You could say it will be a 5-year anniversary update.
Everyone interested in the English version of the game is encouraged to keep an eye on this page — the translation is currently in progress!

Story:
Spain during the reign of King Philip II of Habsburg. With the beginning of naval expeditions to the new land, a golden age began for Spain. But this wealth came at the cost of innocent blood. Over time, colonies began to emerge on the new continent, all paying tribute to the king. All but one — located in the western swamplands and commanded by the renowned and celebrated general Enrique.
Fearing a rebellion that could damage his reputation and pride, the king secretly sends his man — prosecutor Hernando Manzanares — to the new land, keeping it hidden from the other camps. His Holiness Pope Pius IV, concerned about the situation for his own reasons, decides to support Philip II. Manzanares is to be accompanied by a Vatican envoy — Father Inquisitor Adalbert Rivero.
Will they be able to uncover the reason behind Enrique’s disobedience?
A great mystery lies hidden in the swamps, waiting to be revealed.

“There were two brothers who fought each other on this land. One of them fell. The other built a chamber of gold and, hiding within, fell into slumber. The golden chamber, the chamber of the serpent, the house of the serpent. Chantlicoatl.”

Gameplay:
In the game, you will play as prosecutor Hernando, accompanied by Father Adalbert.
You will have to traverse the swamplands, battle wild animals, interrogate Enrique’s men, visit a supposed gold mine, and even cooperate with the local indigenous people. In addition to the story and adventure elements, the game also features systems inspired by classic RPGs — exploration, finding hidden chests and caches, collecting trophies, trading with merchants, equipping better gear, and learning various skills. Among them: herbalism, lockpicking, and learning the language of the natives.
