Um jogo bem curtinho, mas muito legal para aprender sobre o sertão baiano e a guerra dos canudos, sinto que foi tudo feito com muito carinho e atenção aos detalhes. Eu achei o final um pouco abrupto, na verdade terminou quando eu pensei que ia começar (zerei apenas no modo normal, então não sei se nas outras dificuldades isso muda).

After 2 hours of playing the game It's pretty mid. The story is nothing that you would drop your jaw from but It isn't bad either. The gameplay is nothing but bunch of fetch quests with survival elements. It doesn't sound like bad idea but here It's executed poorly. There aren't enough resources, once you take all the water in the valley that's the only water you will get for rest of the game or you can milk the cow which for some reason eats just specific kind of cactus that you won't find enough of, so you will mostly die from hunger and thirst. Not to mention that the character is so slow, so getting from point A to point B feels really boring and when the thirst and hunger structs you get slower and It gets annoying. But I had fun, so I give it thumbs up.
