The game's title screen.<br>Before the player sees this in its entirety they must enter a new player id, or select one that has been created previously

There are two game modes, both are timed and both offer the player hints

The game starts with an optional introduction. The player job is to look for the diary of Princess Kisin, the last heir to the north-eastern Mayan kingdom

The start of a game begins with a plot summary. There's a similar scene at the end of each level

This is the map screen<br>In Stage One the player must find 18 runes. There are seven runes in each of three locations and one location must be unlocked.

The first time the game is played the player is given advice on how the game is played

All clues are in riddles. Once the riddle is solved the player searches the picture for the answer

When a location is cleared this screen is displayed. The player is then taken to the map area to select the next location

The player has to find a number of objects to complete each stage. Only in the final stage do they have to find all the objects to complete the stage

Each stage ends with a block rotating puzzle. The puzzles get harder as the game progresses. The darkened area shows two columns have been correctly aligned

At the end of each stage the player resolves a picture puzzle. When that is done the picture and the relevant entry in Princess Kisin's diary is revealed

Flashback scenes play just the same as regular scenes but give the player more time

An example of a riddle

To unlock an area the player must solve a riddle to place each glyph. When all have been placed they press UNLOCK<br>Sounds hard but multiple attempts are allowed so its not too bad

This may be a Mayan burial ground but the objects come from all over the world and are both ancient and modern

The game gets harder as the player progresses. In stage one there were just eighteen runes in three locations. In the penultimate stage they must find forty

The rotating block puzzles get harder as the game progresses. Stage one was a 5x5 grid, this is 9x9. The puzzles with locked and hidden cells are the toughest though

The game is now over

The game's high score screen. For some reason Moby Gamer's score of 04h 19m was not recorded

The game's help function differs from the in-game help. This screen is the first of three

This game was released as a freebie with Enlightenus II: The Timeless Tower (Collector's Edition)<br>It was unlocked when the player completed both the main game and bonus level
