About the game
Get ready for an adventure that fits in your pocket, but don't let the size fool you! In 'Unfold: Victim of the Pyramid', you take on the role of Venona, an orphan who decides to defy fate and the gods to save her beloved Oxiteca, chosen as a sacrifice in an ancient ceremony. The mission is clear: infiltrate the sacred Pyramid, uncover its secrets, and overcome the trials set forth by the Great Gods.

This cooperative game transports you to a mystical and dangerous atmosphere, where deduction and puzzle-solving are your greatest weapons. You and your friends (or just you, if you prefer!) will need to work together, deciphering riddles and answering questions to guide Venona through this treacherous path. With each step, new dangers and mysteries arise, testing your reasoning skills and teamwork. With every card flipped, the story unfolds, revealing more about the ancient secrets of the Pyramid and the urgency to save Oxiteca.

With clever mechanics and an engaging story, 'Victim of the Pyramid' offers an immersive experience reminiscent of popular escape room games, but with the convenience of a card game. It's perfect for those who enjoy narrative challenges, mysteries, and the thrill of a race against time. Will you be able to unravel the enigmas and save Oxiteca before it's too late? Or will you be the next to fall victim to the Pyramid?
