Mictlan: An Ancient Mythical Tale News

Ñuhu

The Mixtec, the third largest group of native Mexican peoples, inhabiting the region known as La Mixteca, used the term Ñuhu to refer to their sacred beings, also considered as protectors of crops.

Ñuhu were the spirits of earth that lived in nature. They could appear in rivers, springs, roads and rocks. As a matter of fact, Mixtec codex, they are represented as anthropomorphic rocks decorated with red paint and small rectangular projections above their heads and around their body.

You will encounter several of these spirits during your journey in Mictlan: the Ñuhu will help you unlock different paths of your destiny.

Macuilcuetzpalin

Remember the first concept art of Macuilcuetzpalin that we showed you a while ago?

Here is another design for our God of pleasure, with a black body paint and a yellow eye-band. The white color on his hands and face is a trait that ties him to Macuilxochitl.

The body paintings of pleasure/punishment deities, which are described in the Codex Borgia, are mainly associated with warriors and sacrifices. The mix of intoxication and blood loss caused by the practice of ritual auto-sacrifice, induced Macuilcuetzpalin into an altered state of mind which also made him a very dangerous enemy.

Explore Mictlan's open world

Here we go again with some renders from our open world!
We've already shown you something from the Wetlands, beaches, forests and plateaus, the market of Tlatelolco, and also more bloody scenarios.

As you can see from today's renders, in recreating the natural environments in Mictlan, we took inspiration from two masterpieces, such as Ghost of Tsushima and Red Dead Redemption.

We would like to remind you that we are not a AAA Studio, we don't have all the resources we would like and need to manage our development process, that's why, as an Indie Studio, we're counting on the amazing support of our growing community!

Miquiztetl

Miquiztetl was one of the deities of death, along with her twin brother Xoaltentli, the god of dreams and mental illness, from whom she stole the crude facial features, thus becoming uglier than him.

She lived in Mictlan, and her role was to deceive and confuse the dead, to make them forget about their mission of traveling through the nine levels of Mictlan, preventing them from reaching their ultimate goal: free their soul (Tonalli) from the mortal, rotten body, arriving before the two mighty gods Mictlantecuhtli and Mictecacihuatl, rulers of Mictlan.
