5 itemsAbout the Game
Face your deepest fears. Adiverboz is a 2D psychological horror game set in the fictional city of São Roque. Oz and Mark are the only survivors of a massive fire at the orphanage. Upon discovering the truth about the atrocities that occurred where they grew up, Mark leaves a final request for his friend Oz: find the evidence he lost so the guilty can be punished. In the game, you control Oz, who aims to find documents that incriminate those responsible. However, during the search for truth, he'll realize that the physical and psychological traumas of the orphanage boys have taken the form of horrible monsters. Additionally, he'll relive his own traumas and recover repressed memories.
-Arm yourself against the creatures: In this chaotic world where danger lurks, the only way to survive is to equip yourself with all available armaments. You'll find melee and firearms that will help clear the path to the truth.
-Use your memories to your advantage: Mementos are good childhood memories of the São Roque boys that will become valuable survival skills in combat. Customize your gameplay by combining them with weapons.
-Collect the evidence: Various medical reports, diary pages, and letters are scattered throughout the city. Investigate to uncover the truth about the orphanage, as they will help complete the puzzle.
-Use your intelligence: Solve puzzles and make progress in your investigation. Not everything will be solved with brute force.
-Ruthless bosses: Some traumas are very deep and create even more horrible beings than those scattered throughout the city. They will be challenges to overcome; be strong.
-Keep friends close: The city doesn't just have monsters. You'll find allies who will help you unravel this story and provide items in exchange for favors.
-Be careful: some actions in the game can define your destiny. Each time you raise your fist against the creatures, you risk becoming one of them. Different paths await you in this story; choose wisely.
