A downloadable experience

An experience developed for the 4th edition of the Cultura Abierta Game Jam and inspired by the "Libro de las Cruces" (lit. Book of Crosses). This text was the first Hispanic manual of astrology, translated from Arabic by Hyuhda fy de Mosse al Choen, with the collaboration of Johan Daspa, at the request of Alfonso X, The Wise. The original text is by Oueydalla, and the manuscript translation work was completed in the year 1269 (657 of the Hegira).

Premise

¡Es muy bonito, se ve de maravilla, y acompañado con el gameplay calmado, y la música relajada es un puntazo!

(Me ha pasado ya dos veces que le he dado al escape, una para sacar el libro, y otra para salir de él, y obviamente en ambas me ha cerrado el juego XD)
