You help the avatar to traverse through a circular world and collect food from trees. When you reach your house again you can distribute the food between yourself and your offspring. The goal of the game is to keep your heritage alive as long as possible.

In "A hero will rise and fall" you become the human virgin sacrifice of a maya ritual to please the goddess of fertility. The ritual demands of you to dive head-on into the holy pit, facing a gruesome death in boiling lava. If you go down as fast as possible and collect many golden coins as oblations, many babies will be born next season. If you splatter your head open on one of the many obstacles before reaching the holy bottom, your culture faces extinction.
