Interrogation in the Dark

The hacienda's jimador —the expert who harvests the blue agave used to make tequila— tried to create the elixir of immortality by transmuting tequila. Spoiler: he failed. You are trapped in the hacienda's underground laboratory, and his experiments have left you without your precious sense of sight.

The Jimador refuses to accept failure and shouts for his human guinea pigs to take part in a new experiment. His Apprentice knows the master's secrets and does not agree with continuing this madness.

You must taste blindly, against the clock, and analyze every sip. You will have to tell each tequila apart and put them in the right order. The Apprentice will whisper a single clue so the experiment works this time. If, in the end, you drink the exact formula, you will win your freedom.

Night falls heavily over Mexico City in the golden age of its cabarets. The air is thick with smoke, secrets and the unmistakable scent of danger. There is a lifeless body on the floor and the doors have just been locked. Tonight no one is innocent: everyone is a suspect.

At the center, a magnetic cabaret singer. Beside her, a detective who only wanted to retire in peace. They know the truth: the killer has not escaped, he is sitting at the table. And most chilling of all, the murder weapon has been carefully disguised right in front of you, hidden in the dishes of the dinner itself.

Your mission is to dive into the darkness of the room and become the lead investigator. You will have to sharpen your palate, because at this banquet the flavors are the physical evidence of the crime.

You must debate in the shadows with your tablemates, connect the clues left by each course and deduce the exact nature of the weapon before the police break down the door. If your analysis fails, the real culprit will raise a toast to his own health while you take the blame.

The line between the world you know and the afterlife has faded. You have crossed the veil, but your soul has lost its way in the shadows of the underworld.

From the darkness rises an imposing presence: Mictecacíhuatl, the Lady of the Dead. Tonight, in her kingdom, nothing is granted without a test. Beside her lurks an elusive figure: the Xoloitzcuintle, the sacred dog who has taken human form tonight to judge your steps.

Tonight you are not a simple guest: you are a spirit trying to find its way home. For the doors of the world of the living to open again, you must prove that your essence still remembers what it means to be alive.

Immersed in darkness, you will rebuild by touch the ofrenda —the Day of the Dead altar offering— that connects you to life. Guided only by your hands and working with your table, you must assemble the offering that best pleases the gods, all while eating the dishes Mictecacíhuatl has left to enlighten you.

If your senses betray you and the offering does not satisfy the goddess, the doors will close and you will become an eternal guest at her banquet. Are you ready to cross the threshold?
