Machine Mangrove Village
The prologue: an amphibious village of camouflaging posthuman beings, drawn from South Florida and Colombian coastlines. Sync energy from machine mangroves into a teleporter.
A hand-painted, ecological stealth-exploration game. Camouflage through neo-primordial landscapes and solve environmental puzzles to reshape a cyclical cataclysm.

You are The Other.
Slow down and observe. Camouflage into hand-painted patterns and move by adapting to each terrain: swimming, gliding, and crawling. Modulate turbulence through touch until a cloud is solid enough to walk across, and synchronize energy through the land, pollinating circuits that unfold the world.
Level One
The primordial explosion at the source of the world's energy and destruction. The whole level is the First-Boss, shifting material properties as you sense and modulate its turbulence.
Incendio-Igapó
A flooded swamp and sentient forest fire. Restore the ecosystem through puzzles that rebalance it; half the level is underwater.
Patterned Páramo
The Colombian highlands and their water-filtering tundra. The most stealth-driven level: shift skins, glide, crawl, and herd camo-sensitive drones.
Features
Become the landscape
Absorb textures from the environment and embody them. Camouflage is how you hide, solve stealth puzzles, and channel data across the worlds.
Touch and light change matter
Modulate turbulence until a cloud is solid enough to walk across. Shift the frequency of light to solve atmospheric puzzles.
Choose coexistence or conquest
Customize each ability to suit your gameplay style. Every encounter sits on a spectrum from violence to cooperation.
Painted into the engine
Oil paintings and ink drawings become height maps, materials, and textures. Every model is a custom asset; one level is built from María Thereza Negreiros's Amazonian canvases. Models sculpted in VR become sentient, animated actors in Unreal Engine 5.
