The Sinu tribe of South America have long been a mystery to explorers. Their
God Xipe Totec demanded regular human sacrifices to retain his power, and he
is still feared when Sir Pericles Pemberton-Smythe heads off to investigate
his tomb. He disappears, leading his daughter Daphne to assemble a team to
track him down, which is where the player comes in.

The team is made up of Daphne, her fiance Professor Kite, a drunken journalist
known as ‘Legless’ O’Donnell, and her trusty dog Frozbie. You can control any
of these in turn, and order them to lead the other members of the team. The
Professor is the smartest at solving the puzzles you will encounter, Daphne
takes after her father as a natural explorer, O’Donnell is physical strong,
and Frozbie is good at rooting around uncovering hidden objects.

The Tombs are isometrically-viewed, with the perspective revealing some areas
and concealing others. Zombies and other monsters wandering through the tomb
must be avoided.

Each member can carry 3 objects, which are used to solve these puzzles – some
objects are limited to certain characters. Options such as switching
character, movement mode and object use are activated by pressing fire to
bring up a menu, and using left and right to select the option.
