However the gameplay let me  a bit stumped, I clicked on two doors in the first room and then saw some smoke and then a black screen then nothing more, and this is as far as I can get after trying the first level a few times, so I am a little confused as to what I am supposed to do next. The sound FX are also worth mentioning they are creepy and suitably Mayan. Visually it blends the new and the old in an interesting way and you can see how it could be a great game if there is more time to develop the gameplay.
