Gameplay
The game consists of moving the three main characters to solve puzzles, and cutscenes from the second season of the anime. In game there are pressure plates, which the player can stand on or place an item, each character can hold one item (like a rock or statue). There are keys, which are either in chests or on guards. There are pedestals with buttons, and timed buttons, pedestals only Esteban can activate. There are shaped/colored statue holders. There are levers, doors, rotating walkways, and barrels, vases, and bushes to hide in. There are stationary, rotating and patrolling guards, whose line of sight and duration determine if the player is caught.

The three characters have different abilities:
 * Esteban can use him Medallion of the Sun to activate certain pedestals.
 * Zia can slide through cracks in walls.
 * Tao can read puzzle directions.
 * Kokapetl can fly from Tao and steal keys from guards.

The objectives are to not get caught by guards, finish each level in a certain amount of time, collect scrolls, and find a hidden chest. These objectives go toward a percent completion of the level but are not required to continue to the next level.
