Mulaka | Even the amount of lives you get is steeped in Taruhumara lore: A man is said to have three souls, which is why Mulaka has three lives.

 

Back in February of 2018 developer/publisher Lienzo released their action/adventure game, Mulaka. Now, nearly two years after launch, it’s finally getting a physical release on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.

Mulaka is a game about a Tarahumara shaman, a real world tribe of indigenous people in Chihuahua, Mexico. The player must fight a corruption that has overtaken the land. The game draws much influence from the land and culture of the Tarahumara, including environments inspired from real locations and enemies drawn from their mythology. it pays homage to the Tarahumara’s renowned athletic prowess through fast-paced platforming and hand-to-hand combat.

If you’d like to get your hands on a physical copy of this unique indie title you can expect it to be available sometime around February of 2020.
