Our story. 1532 in Perú.
We are on a journey to collect Inca gold for the ransom of the captured King, Atawallpa.
Meanwhile, a bandit has stolen the twin sister of the royal Llama with an invisible cape in hopes of gaining access to the magic Kero (urn) that grants the holder one wish.
While we search for gold, we are accused of hiding a massive treasure deep in the jungle. Will we clear our name? Can we find the Llama? Who is guarding the urn? Unfold the mysteries today.
If you like to wander and figure things out while you hunt for treasures of gold in more than 15 fascinating Inca sites, this game is for you whether you are a seasoned adventure gamer or are new to the genre. There are 3 levels of play which can be switched at any time during play. We hope that beyond the fun, The Ransom of Atawallpa will inspire you to dig deeper into the many mysteries of the Incas still hidden in Perú.
This game features in-game hints and a journal where clues and helpful information may be kept for reference. This game also provides a map system to allow jumping to other scenes where an item may have been missed. At the end of the game journal, there is a showcase where the awards are displayed for each of the 15 Tambos (Inca sites) successfully completed.
