Embark on a brutal yet spiritual journey in Sacrifices, where you rule an ancient Mesoamerican village teetering on chaos. Balance divine intervention with primal survival as you rebuild a forgotten civilization, harness mystical powers, and confront jungle threats. Forge alliances, make heart-wrenching choices, and unlock secrets beneath the temple ruins—where devotion demands more than faith alone.
Survival Through Divine Will
1. Oversee resource scarcity with precision: balance food, herbs, and building materials under constant threat of raids or natural disasters.
2. Command reverence through strategic blessings—heal the sick, bless crops, or summon storms to repel invaders, but risk angering rival gods.
3. Expand your influence by recruiting disciples, each with hidden loyalties and unique skills that shape your village’s destiny.
Sacrifice & Ambition
1. Fuel progress through calculated sacrifices: offer loyal followers to unlock forbidden technologies or commune with ancestral spirits.
2. Moral dilemmas arise as you choose between short-term survival and long-term glory, with consequences rippling across generations.
3. Unlock over 150 craftable tools and weapons, from obsidian daggers to ceremonial masks, blending Aztec aesthetics with practical survival.
Jungle Frontiers & Tribal Warfare
1. Lead expeditions into uncharted jungles to scavenge relics and face mythical creatures, where every discovery could shift your empire’s fate.
2. Fortify defenses against rival clans using terrain and traps, turning the environment into a weapon against those who dare encroach.
3. Negotiate fragile alliances or crush dissenters—your reputation as a deity-turned-leader hinges on ruthless pragmatism or benevolent wisdom.
Cultural Lore & Dark Ambiguity
1. Immerse in rich Aztec-inspired mythology, where myths and rituals are woven into governance, warfare, and daily survival.
2. Discover fragmented histories through murals and scrolls, piecing together the collapse of your ancestors’ golden age.
3. The line between god and tyrant blurs as your sacrifices transform the village—from a ramshackle refuge to a resplendent, feared empire.
