Character Concepts
Curu & Selene
Curu is based on the maned wolf and the Curupira from Amazonian myth. She wakes after a long sleep to a forest that feels both familiar and strange. Selene is a beetle that rides on her head. Named after Paraselenis, she acts as the player’s guide.
Ademir, Chief of the Eastern Parrot Tribe
Ademir takes after the scarlet macaw. He leads the Eastern Parrot Tribe, working to keep his flock alive by rebuilding nests, gathering food, and standing guard by the river.
Enemy Designs
Capybara Guardian
A capybara boss that blocks the river and cuts the tribe off from water.
Rock Minions
Small minions that serve F.F. Each one carries fire on its head that can be put out and reignited. They are weak alone but dangerous in large numbers.
F.F., the Flame Figure
The main antagonist, shown in two states: extinguished and ignited. Very little is known about this figure. Its presence is felt through the destruction it leaves behind.
