Memories of Mexico

Memories of Mexico was a project I worked on during my internship at the Swedish Museum of Natural History (Världskulturmuséet) back in 2021. It's an educational game for middle school children meant to teach them about the history of Mexico throughout three different periods, pre-colonial times, the encounter between the Aztecs and the Spaniards, and the mexican war of independence.

Beyond my internship I was also hired as an illustrator to create the characters for the game, which you can also see some examples of here.

You can try the game out for yourself here:
