It's great to see a solo developer creating a game based on Brazilian myths and culture. There's always room for improvement, but I'm truly amazed by this game.

stylish, memorable, fun, creepy and keeps you engaged. I don't think I encountered any bugs or glitches. the art might be considered garish or blown out in spots but its fine. another pass on the lighting and shader stuff with some room for blending and potentially darker areas could improve the visual experience. maybe through the addition of some shader settings accessed from the menu one could establish a more preferred look beyond the artists vision. I personally don't mind any of the visuals and appreciate the vibrant immediate sharp contrasts and well lit areas. the game text is all or nearly all translated to english for accessibility and would love to see this extended to additional languages to share interesting Brazilian tales with the rest of the world.
this review was written upon reaching the jail section and I have yet to complete the game entirely. Seems like I am about halfway through
