About this game

FEATURE LIST:

🪓 Equipped to venture out 🗡
To survive in ÁRIDA you will need some equipment. Use the machete and hoe for essential actions such as getting water, opening paths, or cutting a corn crop. But do not forget to have a handful of grindstones because blunt equipment is of no use!

Mountains? It fades into a scene and then goes on this speel about "the night comes with such darkness" Is it work in progress? Update soon? Super cool game, love the detail, love walking through the goat poop, the dead animals is messed up but genuinely standing from a "realistic" point, right on! Adds to the complete shock and mystery to this adventure game. Only thing is I wish I could customize our character. Different hair color, different tan skin colors, misc ratty clothes to put on.

The game itself is fantastic. The world feels rich and meaningful, the gameplay is interesting and engaging. The controls were a little glitchy at times, but mostly worked well. The "poetry" in between scenes was terrible and it turns out that the game is VERY short. But overall, a fully delightful game.

This is a fantastic game. I love the crafting element as well as the storyline, very poetic. Above all, it gives me great insight into Brazilian culture and their native plants. I really enjoyed this game, I just wish it went further after you pass the 'smoke screen'. Very enjoyable, one I will keep and come back to.
