The Day of the Dead just got more interesting.

Calavera: Day of the Dead is a Hidden Object Game developed by Taba Games and released in June 2013.

Alan has proposed to the love of his life, Catalina. Before they can get married, they agreed to travel to Mexico to get her father's blessing. Not long after they arrived, however, things take a problematic turn when his beloved fiancée is abducted by a skeletal stranger and taken away into the Land of the Dead.

His only hope to rescue Catalina is to follow the advice of the mysterious Guidebook and navigate the Land of the Dead, perhaps finding answers to Catalina's past in the process.
