Arida: Backland's Awakening (2019)

Finding water, maintaining tools and preparing supplies make the dry landscape of Bahia's sertão a practical concern. Salvador-based Aoca Game Lab follows Cícera and her grandfather amid the hardships of the late nineteenth century, giving survival a family and community context. Choose it for a small, focused adventure about living within a particular environment; hunger and thirst management bring repetition as well as purpose.
