Tezcatlipoca

Tezcatlipoca is a third-person horror game inspired by genre classics with “tank” controls, such as Alone in the Dark, Silent Hill, and Resident Evil. However, unlike those titles, combat is not a core mechanic — the focus here is on exploration, puzzle-solving, and a chilling atmosphere.

The game aims to capture the essence of a simpler era in horror gaming:

• Dialogues with exaggerated voice acting,
• Stories uncovered through scattered notes and environmental details,
  And a dark, confusing narrative open to interpretation — like a low-budget B-horror movie.
• The entities, myths, and apparitions are inspired by Mexican folklore, offering a unique horror experience deeply rooted in local legends.

Story:

Minerva returns to her hometown, Tezcatlipoca, after receiving a mysterious phone call. Her family hasn’t answered any messages or calls. Worried and confused, she takes the last bus to the village... but after falling asleep, she awakens in a nearly abandoned town shrouded in unsettling fog.

Now trapped in a place forgotten by time, Minerva must decide:
Will she dive into the shadows of the past, or escape before it’s too late?

Features: 

•  Retro style with tank controls. 
•  Varied puzzles and exploration without combat. Inspired by Mexican horror legends.
•  Dense, oppressive atmosphere with PSX-style visuals. 
•  Fragmented narrative: you decide what to believe. 
•  Optional first-person mode, alongside the classic tank controls with fixed camera.

Tezcatlipcoa supports Xbox controllers and similar gamepads, as well as keyboard and mouse, and touch controls on Android devices.

After a long time, I have removed all Steamworks-related features, making this project 100% DRM-free.

That said, there may still be bugs or issues. Please feel free to report any errors so they can be fixed.

Regarding the browser version, I am not responsible for poor or unstable performance. When playing in a web browser, assets are loaded on the fly, which can negatively affect performance.

As for the Android APK version, it is completely free. I would appreciate it if you could share how the game performs on your mobile devices.

The Android version is capped at 30 FPS and will remain free, as I am not a mobile developer and do not plan to optimize the game for every possible device.

I apologize for this limitation, but the game is primarily designed to be played on PC.
