Tell the story, play the myth: How videogames translate folk tales

As Mulaka, players control a powerful Sukuruame sorcerer tasked with convincing five demigods to intervene in the impending destruction of the Earth.

LOS ANGELES: The game trailer opens to the sound of birds chirping as a red-banded warrior takes a step backward in a polygonal forest. Tall grass flattens beneath his bare feet as three rock monsters approach our hero. 

Moments later, our war-painted protagonist is seen running through a busy adobe marketplace. Later still, he navigates a rocky canyon, transforming into a bird as he glides across a river bed.
