Vem, Exu

Tejo Estúdio

About this game

After losing his kite in a fight with his brother, Exu tries to sleep while holding onto his anger.

During the night, his feelings take shape as a storm where dream, memory, and imagination blend together.

In Vem, Exu, you follow this journey through small, intuitive interactions and contemplative moments, in a short narrative experience inspired by the tale "Exu Ficou Com Medo" from the book "Contos de Exu" by Rafael Semino.

The story is told primarily through interaction.

Touch, drag, observe, and explore the world around Exu as emotions transform the environment and the gameplay itself.
