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.

🎮 Behind the scenes of ÁRIDA 🏜

Game breaking bug got launched into air and I am now stuck out of bounds between the water hole and the small crop area now i am hardlocked and my hours playing this game wasted. On top of that this game is one the hardest to navigate,i keep running to the wrong places or running in circles, wasting water which brings me to my 3rd complaint not enough drink options especially in casual,like corn is juicy why doesn't it fill my thrist meter?I mean I am already struggling with thirst in casual..

Good story and animation. There should be one hint available with each tasks. So that, if we forgot to read we can check the hint to find that particular item. Overall good experience.

Game crashes right after the title screen. Reinstalled, same result. I'll wait a little while for it to be fixed, but if it's not fixed soon, I'm going to have to unistall. At which point I'll forget about it and never try again
