Meet the Axolotl

The world of Mictlan will be populated by the most amazing, dangerous, ancient creatures... and also the cutest ones!

Meet the Axolotl, the funny, adorable little guy who will accompany you both across the wide, wondrous world and the perilous underworld of Mictlan. You'll have the chance to mount the Axolotl as you dive through the depths of the ocean.



We have finalized the animations for our lovely walking fish thanks to the help of a very special member of our team: Axel, the pet Axolotl we keep in our studio! He's almost two years old and we carefully studied its movements to recreate a more fluid and realistic animation of the Axolotl in our game! Take a look here, and here.
