Last Call in Mexico City

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?

The capital of the Aztec empire is collapsing. Outside, the echoes of battle and the clash of steel ring through the flooded streets of Tenochtitlan: you are about to live through La Noche Triste, the “Night of Sorrows” of 1520.

In a secret hideout, two unlikely allies who have defied their own sides are waiting for you: a Mexica princess, bearer of the blood and secrets of her lineage, and a Spanish soldier who has deserted, trading his loyalty to the crown for the promise of survival. Together they have recovered the legendary treasure of Moctezuma. To smuggle it out under the eyes of their pursuers, they have hidden it in the most unlikely place: the banquet about to be served before you.

Tonight you stop being a spectator and become an accomplice in the heist that will rewrite history. Your mission is to taste each dish and discover how many pieces of the treasure it contains.

You must sharpen your senses and keep an exact count of the gold pieces your palate finds, without saying a word to your tablemates. A single miscalculation could expose the whole operation. Can you recover the treasure?

You wake up with a terrible headache and, with it, your identity has been forgotten. You are no longer who you used to be: you are now one more inmate in the gloomy wards of La Castañeda, Mexico City's infamous asylum, which operated from 1910 to 1968.

Before you stands the Chief Psychiatrist. To her you are not a person: you are the perfect subject for her next clinical experiment. Around her lurks Patient Zero, a living warning and the exact reflection of what awaits you if your mind breaks tonight.

The treatment has begun. You will undergo a sensory shock therapy designed to fragment your mind, and your only hope of regaining your sanity is to hold on to memory. In the darkness of your confinement, the dishes placed before you will be your only lifeline: pure, primal ingredients that will trigger specific memories buried in your subconscious.

But salvation is not individual. To prove you still have your reason, you must debate with your fellow inmates, connect your minds and reach absolute agreement. As a table, you must shout in unison the exact word that evokes that shared memory: the ingredient. Get it right and the psychiatrist will note your progress. Hesitate, let madness divide you or say the wrong word, and control will be lost completely: Patient Zero will be free to unleash a chaos no one can escape. Will you remember who you are before you lose your mind?
