A new kind of history lesson: Mexico, 1921: A Deep Slumber makes you a journalist during a revolution

Focusing on power and politics, this Macula Interactive docu-game draws on muralists, an assassination and newspaper reporting in painstakingly historically accurate detail

How many stories are hidden in the murals of Diego Rivera? What was it like to witness the creation of a modern Latin American nation, to sit in the classrooms of stridentism and surrealism? To travel in a tram through a capital city illuminated by the embers of a recent revolution yet disrupted by periodic presidential assassinations?

These are just some of the questions that brought a young team of video game developers back 100 years to Mexico, 1921.
