MEXICO, SEPT 13, 2024 - Macula Interactive is happy to release their historical narrative adventure game, Mexico, 1921. A Deep Slumber on Steam, just in time for Mexican Independence Day and Hispanic Heritage Month. The Xbox release of the game is planned for later in the year.
“We’re thrilled to finally share México, 1921: A Deep Slumber! It’s been a long journey for a small new studio like us, but after four years we can finally share Juan Aguirre’s story,” says Paola Vera, Mácula general director. “In this game, you’ll be able to experience post-revolutionary Mexico through the eyes of a journalist and capture the essence of the time through your camera. This documentary video game represents one of the most important events in the history of our country and, even though it’s intertwined with fiction, the historical truth of these events remains in the history books of Mexico and in the memory of the people. Welcome to post-revolutionary Mexico!”
About Mexico, 1921. A Deep Slumber.
Mexico City, 1921. The country is wrapped in the recent consequences of years of conflict and revolution. Álvaro Obregón, leader of the revolution, is now at the head of a country with a brand new social constitution, and a population demanding education and human rights. With the help of intellectuals like José Vasconcelos and artists like Diego Rivera he intends to steer the country to a brighter future. Fast forward 7 years when President Obregón is shot and murdered under mysterious circumstances.
