About this game

A historical single player game with elements of adventure and survival.

Explore the aridest regions, collect resources and discover clues about the destiny of the young Cícera, a girl that faces the drought to explore the 19th-century Brazilian backlands to find her parents again.

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!

☀ Get ready with recipes 🌵
To live in the backlands you need to be wise. The fauna and flora are unusual, so try to learn the recipes available for crafting with the typical items of the region. Maybe one day you need to cross the backlands ...

🍴 Interact to survive 📝
Hunger and thirst can be very cruel in the backlands during the drought. Ask for help for the elders of your village and solve their quests to get some water and food.

🏃‍♀ Explore to know 🎒
Explore the aridest regions to learn more about the backlands and find the resources you need to stay on your way. A full inventory is always a good idea!

📜 Stories to learn 💎
The Brazilian backlands is a special place, with many stories that would only happen there. Venture out to search for the collectible lost objects and find out more about the legends of the backlands.

Pretty game, but so short, just when you start getting into it and having fun and figuring it out it ends, super abruptly....like a giant part of storyline is missing, non existent even, if you're quick at figuring out the controls and the quests this is maybe 30mins worth of game play, if it takes you a little longer to figure out I'd say an hr, just not enough to do really, it's kinda sad.

Finished this game much sooner than I expected. It is a good game, well made. Good level design, crafting and exploration. My biggest criticism for the game would be that's it's too short, and basically no replayability factor. If I'm honest when I first saw the game, I thought it was more of a open world, survival game that would be much more lenient and less focused on quests or story. I really wanted to build a house, and unlock more crafting. And be able to actually play the game long term.

WOW! Graphics are AMAZING, story-line is AMAZING, the research gone into making this game AMAZING. I genuinely loved everything about it. My one complaint is that the story was so short. I went and stocked up thinking I'm about to go out into the desert and begin my journey to find a thriving city/possibly my parents and BAM games over 😭. I went running to the play store to look for a part 2 but there was nothing. PLEASE PLEASE tell me there will be more soon. I don't want to forget about it.
