LEVEL ABSTRACT

The temple of the Sun Goddess, Ezcanya, is placed in a mountain. People believed that when they build a temple high in the mountains, the temple would be closer to the sun, and also closer to Ezcanya who would be more pleased. Ezcanya is a friendly, loving and popular Goddess. Many people praise her and offer her lots of offerings. Ezcanya likes everything shiny, everything that can reflect her light and thus create more light.

When the Goddess became pregnant and got her first son, Yaretzin, she was utterly happy and gave the earth plenty of light. Yaretzin turned out to be a Moon God. Sadly, when he became older, he noticed he didn't receive as many offerings and love as his mother did. Everyone loved the power of the Sun Goddess, but nobody seemed to care about the power of the Mood God. Yaretzin became angry and attacked his mother in the way of putting the world in darkness for months. Ezcanya tried everything to convince him to stop, because her world and her people where suffering. Plant's couldn't grow, the world became colder, and people only started to dislike the Moon God even more. This went on till Ezcanya couldn't bear it any longer. When the world, the people and the animals suffered too much, she had to make the decision to kill her son. She had to do something, in order to keep her world alive, even if it caused her a lot of pain to kill her only son. She cried rain onto the world, and it soon became clear to the people that her tears were poisonous. People collected some of her tears as they were holy. When a God dies, he will be brought to earth, and so did Yaretzin. The huge body of the Moon God was found, with a dagger in his chest.

After this event, people created the temple to honour the Sun Goddess. Offerings where brought to her, and there would be a closed off room that would honour Yaretzin. After all, he was Ezcanya's son.

Left picture is the puzzle, right picture is the treasure room which you can enter when you solved the puzzle.

Left picture:

At the right, you see the statue of the Sun Goddess, Ezcanya. She is placed on top of her most important offerings (offeringswall). There's a hole in her heart, so that sunlight shines through. When you're at the correct time of the day, the light from her heart shines on a broken mirror, which is placed in the middle of a door, so it does not reflect back when the player is entering the level. Right above that door, there's another statue of Ezcanya, but with her baby Yaretzin in her hands, an indication that what lies beyond the door, has something to do with her son. Besides the door are two statues of her most important servants and they are holding mirrors, which reflects light onto two of Ezcanya's offerings. These are meant as an example for the player, because the light exactly fits the shape of the two offerings. In the middle of this all, there are weird shaped, flat objects. When shining light onto them and onto the offeringswall of Ezcanya, they will make silhouetted into the wall, shaped of offerings that needs to be placed in that spot.

When the player fixes the mirror by gathering mirror shards and placing them in the empty mirror on the door, the light will reflect fully onto the offeringswall. This way, the player gets to see silhouettes of offerings. To unlock the door to the treasure room, the player must find the four remaining offerings that fit into the silhouettes.

Right picture:

When entering the treasure room, the player sees the coffin of the Moon God Yaretzin. On top of that, there's a bowl of the poisonous tears of Ezcanya, and at the end of the room, there's a statue of Yaretzin, with the dagger in his chest. The player can take the dagger and the tears as their reward of solving the puzzle.
