Play OverviewPlay Overview

Dandara: Trials of Fear (2018) is a running, jumping and puzzle-solving game where you play Dandra, the Afro-Brazilian warrior of the colonial period of Brazil. You can defy gravity to jump from wall to wall and ceiling to ceiling. This combines the action of jumping and attacking enemies with the puzzle of an ever-revolving reality where up is down and down is up.

The world of Salt hangs on the brink of collapse. The citizens, once free spirits, now stand oppressed and isolated. But not all is lost, for out of this aether of fear arises a heroine, a ray of hope. Her name is Dandara.

You progress through the levels to discover secrets hidden throughout the world of Salt and meet a wide range of characters. Empower Dandara for combat and survival against a regime bent on oppression to bring freedom and balance to this directionless world. As you do you find yourself mirroring real-world Brazilian warriors of the same name.

The game works well with a gamepad, but even better on touch devices or Apple TV with a touch controller. Simple motions let you control movement and combat seamlessly.
