Ajayu is an adventure and puzzle game inspired by the Aymara people’s worldview and culture. In Ajayu, the player takes the role of Alaya, an Aymara kid who must cross the Atacama’s desert, carrying with him the remains of his dead mother to the resting place of his ancestors. At the beginning of his journey, Alaya suffers an accident which puts him on the verge of death, expelling his soul from his body. After this accident, Alaya obtains a very special ability: being able to expulse his Ajayu (his soul) at will, and by doing so, interacting with the material world while on his “kid state”, and with the spiritual world and its habitants on his “spiritual state”.
