Reconquista
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Reconquista is a short narrative first-person exploration game, in which you play as an Incan rebel coming to reclaim a sacred artifact from the conquistador-occupied island of Huaca, off the coast of South America.
Your goal is to light the four shrines to open the temple, and escape with what you find inside.

love it thank you so much :):):):
Thank YOU!
First time through I didn't even realize I was being chased until I was attacked. XD
Fun game! I liked trying to find all the small torches to light! Very nice set up too. Good job! Liked it a lot.
Thanks a lot!
A great game. Loved the atmosphere.
Great, thanks for the video!
First play through and found some bugs. Using an Xbox controller, running while holding RT and pressing Y put me into some kind of 'out of body' fly mode, where I could zoom anywhere, including into the locked temple. Pressing A put me back into my body. Also, the game abruptly quit when I got back to my boat after retriving the idol, probably because i was fratically pressing the use button, thinking i would need to in order to actually get in the boat. Didn't get a good look at the monsters as I was busy fleeing for my life.
Second playthough worked fine. A more threating monster and something to add a little tension in the first part would help to improve the atmoshere.
Over all a well done first game. I hope you continue to create.
Thanks for your feedback! The out-of-body mode was an intentional easter egg, I use that to create screenshots ;) Manually pressing Use to get into the boat would be a nice improvement yeah, if you were mashing the button you immediately skip the outro cinematic.
That's great, thanks!
Thanks!
Fun, thanks for playing!
Greetings from Germany, I really liked the game, the atmosphere and sounds were really good and I loved the graphics. The only thing I didn't like was the model of the monster. It was not that creepy as expected. Keep the good work up. :)
I also made a video about your game, you can check it out here:
Thank you! Ha yeah, my 3D skills aren't so great yet so I used what I could get ;)
ending was confusing but i was a great game i wonder that thoe weird people are.
Really fantastic stuff, very neat visuals and the sound effects were on point. Nice job!
I love the game.
I think you should use what you've made here to make a (perhaps multiplayer via LAN or otherwise online servers?) game about Conquistadors vs. Natives, with everything from rapiers and matchlocks to the macuahuitl and atlatl.
