Unas líneas sobre "Ofrenda", October 8, 2009*

Ofrenda a la Pincoya es una pequeña historia marinera ambientada en el archipiélago de Chiloé, un conjunto de islas situadas al sur de Chile con una historia, cultura y lengua propias, además de una interesante mitología, en la cual se ha basado el autor de la obra.
Unos textos muy cuidados y una ambientación absorbente consiguen transportarnos a estas tierras (para muchos desconocidas, y por tanto gratamente exóticas) y compartir un pedazo de la cultura y la mitología de sus habitantes. Ese gusto por la ambientación llega incluso reproducir los localismos utilizados en la zona, lo cual añade un punto más de originalidad.
En la parte menos destacable, le achacaría quizás un excesivo tiquismiquismo simulacionista. (Spoiler - click to show)Todo el proceso de preparar el bote para embarcar o atracarlo al llegar a los sitios se podría haber automatizado mediante simples mensajes informativos (más cuando nuestro protagonista se supone que está más que habituado a este tipo de quehaceres).
El juego se distribuye con documentación adicional sobre la mitología chilota.

Comentario: Ofrenda a la Pincoya
Lo primero que llama la atención en esta aventura es el escenario escogido, que a los más veteranos aventureros nos traerá un leve recuerdo a la isla de Cozumel en la que Aventuras AD situó la primera entrega de las "Leyendas de Ci-U-Than".

Pero que nadie piense que nos encontramos ante una aventura de arqueólogos. Si decimos que esta Ofrenda a la Pincoya nos recuerda a la trilogía de AD es porque el espacio elegido es también un pequeño y humilde pueblo de pescadores en algún remoto confín de nuestra América. Aunque está vez no se trata de las costas del Yucatán, sino del archipiélago Chiloé, al sur de Chile, país de donde es originario el autor de la aventura.

Mastodon's review now translated into EnglishFebruary 16, 2017
Ofrenda a la Pincoya is a small marine story set in the archipelago of Choloé, a group of islands located at the south of Chile with it’s own history, culture, and languages, as well as an interesting mythology, on which the author has based this work. Very careful texts and an absorbing environment succeeds in transporting us to these lands (unknown to many, and pleasantly exotic for that) and sharing a piece of the culture and mythology of its inhabitants. That taste for the atmosphere even reproduces the localisms used in that region, which adds something more to the originality. In the least remarkable part, the author implements the simulation a perhaps too fussily. The game itself includes additional documentation about Chiloean mythology.
