  Tezcatlipoca V 1.04 – The Promised Release

  Hello, dear players! 💀 As many of you know, Tezcatlipoca was originally planned to be released today, but I decided to launch it earlier since the game was already complete. While I still believe that the original release was the finished version, I’ve continued adding small touches and improvements along the way.What’s new in this versionChurch expansion The church now has two additional rooms. The puzzle that unlocks the Tezcatlipoca statue now requires the player to collect three small statues scattered throughout the city and place them inside the church.New labyrinth A brand-new larger and more challenging labyrinth has been added. To avoid confusion, it now features multiple exits, though it’s still being tested—so I’d love to hear your feedback!New enemy: Ixpuxtequi | The Sack Man This new enemy unlocks after completing the graveyard puzzle. He wasn’t planned at all, but a sudden spark of creativity made me realize he would fit perfectly in the world. Ixpuxtequi relentlessly hunts the player through open areas, and—like all other enemies—his attacks can be dodged.💡 Hint: he only performs high attacks.This update also adds a new short cinematic, connecting the story of our protagonist’s family more closely with Gabriel Anxeli’s.What’s coming next?2D and 3D designs of the new enemy in the gallery, along with his lore.An official ending guide explaining how to unlock every ending.

  Tezcatlipoca V 1.03615 – Day of the Dead

  Happy Day of the Dead! 💀🌼 This update is 100% cosmetic: the town’s graveyard now features altars honoring the departed, and they will remain permanently.The official in-game date is November 1st, 2025, meaning Tezcatlipoca now exists eternally in the Day of the Dead.This update doesn’t affect gameplay at all, it simply adds more atmosphere and life to the graveyard, which previously felt a bit empty.So, if you’re doing the speedrun, don’t worry—there are no new moves or changes to learn.🌕 Future updatesI’m planning to expand the church slightly and add the largest maze in the game, filled with enemies. I also intend to include one more puzzle inside the church and at least a small underground chamber.All of this will be worked on after the speedrun contest ends, to avoid major gameplay changes during the event.

  Tezcatlipoca V 1.036

  Tezcatlipoca V 1.036Hello dear players! This is a small update, focused almost entirely on cosmetic changes, but it also adds a couple of interesting details.New “Cinematic” – SkulliesA new scene has been added for the Skullies. This time, you will experience the diary of a citizen of Tezcatlipoca on their journey toward being consumed by the hunger of a Skullie.This sequence was never originally planned, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to include it—after all, every other monster had a small introduction… except the Skullies.Visual Improvements in the PantheonThe pantheon now features a clear visual indicator showing whether the door is locked or not.This depends on whether the portable battery has been placed in its power source.With this, it will be much easier to remember if you’ve already inserted the battery during future visits.As always, thank you so much for your interest in this little project. I look forward to hearing from you again soon!
