John Romero, co-founder of id Software and creator of Doom, has wanted to celebrate Mother's Day in the United States in a very special way: including his great-grandmother, Elvira Duarte, as a character in Empire of Sin. It is a title of turn-based strategy and management, which immerses us in the city of Chicago in the 1920s. Thanks to a recent trailer we have known the story of Elvira and have been able to see it in action, while sowing chaos in his own way on this stage.
