You play as Sydney Hunter, an explorer who gets trapped inside a Maya pyramid while he is out exploring the region.

Sydney soon discovers that Kinich Ahau (the Maya sun god) and Kukulkan (the feathered serpent god) have broken up the sacred Maya Haab calendar into seven separate pieces, has taken four precious idols, and are hiding them throughout the pyramid.
