For generations, the people of El Salvador have passed down folk tales and legends about many colourful characters and creatures to their children. Tales of El Salvador presents players with an opportunity to experience these stories in the form of a living book that was made in collaboration with several Salvadoran artists, photographers, and musicians.
Los Cadejos is a short, interactive story crafted in the style of paper theatre that tells the legend of two of the most famous characters from Salvadoran tales.
Besides this animated tale, this project also includes an art gallery that features the art of 49 Salvadoran artists. This art gallery is decorated with iconic elements from Salvadoran culture and contains retellings of 27 Salvadoran folk tales.
