A Brazilian narrative investigation game about memory, evidence, architecture and a city that keeps contradicting itself. Solo-led, PC-first, in active development.

01 · The project

Investigation through material evidence

Documents become gameplay

Notes, newspapers, maps, archival records and physical clues are examined and cross-checked rather than reduced to checklist objectives.

Goiânia is part of the system

Architecture, territory and documentary traces carry evidence. The setting is not interchangeable scenery.

Interpretation, not pre-solved answers

The player compares versions, dates, images and testimonies, forms hypotheses and returns to the city with new questions.

Creative boundary

Funding does not buy control over historical facts, clues, characters, investigation logic, choices, ending or narrative IP.

02 · Current public proof

A playable project already exists

The public demo remains a development build. This pitch deliberately does not present internal candidates as public releases or as release-ready.

03 · Funding request

De-risk one concrete completion block

The requested US$8,000 is a focused first bridge. It is intended to turn existing playable work into a more production-ready PC path while preserving founder control and keeping the ask proportional to the current milestone.

Runtime validation + QA

Regression coverage, blocker discovery, stability and core-flow verification.

UI/UX + accessibility

Readability, interaction consistency, usability and accessibility completion work.

Localization + LQA

English review, language consistency and player-facing localization quality.

Release readiness

Packaging, storefront/review preparation, final regression and commercial-delivery materials.

Revenue and forecast remain R$0 until a verifiable funding commitment, commercial commitment or payment exists.

04 · Production path

2027, funding-dependent

The exact release quarter should be finalized only after funding and production validation. The current defensible target is therefore 2027, funding-dependent, rather than an invented quarter.

Milestone AQA baseline and scope freeze: document current blockers, severity and completion priorities.
Milestone BStabilization and prioritized fixes: close critical runtime issues and revalidate the core investigation flow.
Milestone CCompletion services: localization/LQA, accessibility, audio/visual polish only where evidence says it is still required.
Milestone DLaunch readiness: storefront, release engineering, review package and final regression appropriate to the actual release strategy.
