A New Beginning

A New Beginning is a compelling narrative-driven adventure set a decade after the Mariana dam collapse, Brazil’s worst environmental disaster, which left lasting scars on the land and its people. Players step into the role of Gabe, a young researcher reluctantly returning to their hometown to investigate an alarming rise in unexplained skin rashes affecting the community. As Gabe explores the village, they must navigate personal tensions, reconnect with estranged family and old acquaintances, and unravel a mystery that may be tied to past environmental catastrophes. Interacting with locals, analyzing environmental samples, and piecing together clues, players will uncover long-buried conflicts, corruption, and a past that refuses to stay forgotten. With a mix of exploration, investigative gameplay, and emotional storytelling, A New Beginning explores into the lingering impact of the disaster while challenging players to face the consequences of their choices. Will Gabe’s return be the key to saving the town—or uncovering secrets that were meant to stay buried?
