TOTANA 1578
How to play
A board game inside a living world
Totana 1578 combines the structure of a board game with the possibilities of a video game. The monastery of Santa Eulalia is a three-dimensional board: move your piece through its rooms, interact with its inhabitants and take part in the everyday life of a religious community in 1578.
Missions open the way. Information helps you move forward.
Each completed mission may reward you with documents, new opportunities and information that expands your investigation. Completing objectives alone is not enough. Read, connect and cross-check your discoveries to understand what happened and reach the final chapters of the story.
A story that began long before your arrival
The mystery has roots more than a century before Jerónimo’s arrival in Totana. From Ireland to Mexico, different people faced circumstances that forced them to choose. Their decisions left consequences that are only now coming to light.
Their lives intertwine with a changing Church and questions that run through the story: what it means to act well, how much circumstances matter and how far one person can change the course of events.
Finding a clue is only the beginning.
Alongside completing missions and joining monastery life, you must analyse and understand the information you gain access to. Comparing evidence and investigating its meaning are essential to understanding the deeper story.
Observe, listen and deduce
Missions, documents and comic sequences gradually reveal the pieces of the story. A carefully crafted soundscape brings the monastery to life and provides the spatial information needed for navigation through VCS.
Totana 1578 is a game of deduction. Progress depends on understanding the clues, recognising their connections and discovering what lies behind them.
