Your mission is to descend through an ancient pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula to reach the bottom level.
3
The goal is to detonate a nuclear device to stun the Dreaming God and bury it under rock.

Health can only be regained by resting (which speeds up time) or by finding rare blue potions.
10
Blue potions are crucial for curing poison and should be saved for later levels.
11
You will find various items including weapons, crystals with special powers, potions, miscellaneous puzzle items, and treasures that increase your score and health.
