Game Summary 

Cineria native, Xadri, is about to compete in a tournament she’s spent her whole life training for. The government’s annual tournament is a one-way ticket out of poverty for the government’s lowest class: the subspirited. A legacy child, Xadri hopes to use her power of capoeira, a lethal Brazilian martial art, to join her grandmother at Stratum headquarters and escape the slums of Cineria once and for all. 

Topics: An adventure about family love, class struggle, divergence, and tokenism. About a quest to crack into the system that oppresses you in hopes of being the change. 

“For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change…” - Audre Lorde


Objective

Explore the world of Stratum as you piece together the true purpose of the tournament, and draw upon your childhood to defeat the government’s troops who stand in your way. Learn how to kick ass from your ghosty magical grandma, break shtuff, and fight your way into the headquarters with what your grandmamma gave you.

Special thanks to Gameheads Oakland for the opportunity to build this game over the summer of 2020--a dystopian escape for our very real-life dystopia. This kept us sane, even when it drove us a little crazy. 

We hope you enjoy our game!
