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.

Unclear objectives, poorly designed world full of invisible barriers and getting constantly lost because there is no clear minimap or orientation. Annoying thirst survival aspect, where the real challenge is to pixel hunt where your gear sunk into level geometry after respawning.

I would not buy the game... I did the free on game pass. it's a cool game and great storyline and graphics. loved the game but it's way too short and If I would have paid for this I would have been upset bc it's literally like maybe 3 days of play and done. As soon as you get to leave the village to the mountains and go to last banner it's over. no ending nothing just move to next stage and it's done. very disappointed bc this has a lot of potential and I loved what I did play.

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.
