How it feels
A somber yet empowering turn-based RPG through 19th-century Brazil, blending historical oppression with tactical dice-based combat.

What players say
Players praise the historical depth, art and music, but disagree on the execution. Many love the dice-driven combat and the mature look at slavery in 1836 Brazil. Others find the random encounters excessive, the English translation rough, and wish for a quest log. The game has some minor bugs and no manual saving.
