Our take on Mulaka
Rather than using a familiar fantasy setting, Mulaka builds its action-adventure around Tarahumara mythology and landscapes inspired by northern Mexico. Its mix of platforming, hand-to-hand combat, puzzles, demigod powers, and potion crafting brings several play styles into this cultural setting.
What is Mulaka?
Play as a Sukurúame, a Tarahumara shaman, and fight corruption spreading across the land.
This 3D adventure combines fast platforming and hand-to-hand combat with creatures from Tarahumara mythology. Explore environments inspired by real places in the Sierra Tarahumara, solve puzzles, draw on demigod powers, transform, and craft magic potions. The game presents its landscapes in a vibrant low-poly visual style. It also includes narration in an Indigenous language and music created with traditional instruments. The journey draws on Tarahumara culture, with the shaman’s abilities and the game’s mythological creatures forming part of its action and exploration.
