Pixel Art Psychological Horror
This psychological horror game features pixel art graphics and smooth animations. Set in northeastern Brazil in the 1990s, it tells the story of a lonely girl named “Ana Lucia” who finds herself lost in a nightmare.
The game uses a point-and-click format where players progress by solving puzzles. It also features elements such as using a flashlight or ambient lighting to evade enemies, avoiding danger through stealth, and a sanity meter that depletes the longer the player stays in the dark.
