strange, dreamlike wonders of Mayan myth. You will confront ghosts and gods,
bargain for your life against wily demons and find allies and enemies among

dangers of the spirit-haunted western desert, you must still confront the
wizard, “Necklace of Skulls”, in a fight to the death for your very own soul.
