Game Synopsis
Goldilock One: The Mists of Jakaíra is an open-world action RPG that blends exploration, survival, and deep narrative within a science-fiction universe. Its setting merges elements of classic medieval and fantasy worlds with advanced futuristic technology.
The player awakens with no memories in Nebegarde, an open-air prison located in the most hostile region of a distant planet, shrouded in freezing mists and constant threats. To survive, players must explore dangerous environments, face relentless enemies, gather resources, and craft equipment while uncovering the mysteries behind their exile.
Featuring dynamic combat, a strong focus on narrative choices, and interaction with memorable characters—some of whom can become playable allies—the game offers a journey in which every decision impacts both the world and the story. Goldilock One invites players to fight not only for survival, but for the meaning of their own existence in a place seemingly forgotten by society, yet revealed to be a region of strategic scarcity, essential to maintaining the privileges of those who control the planet’s central and developed regions.

Short description:

Long Description:
In Goldilock One, you take on the role of an exile condemned to Nebegarde, the cold and inhospitable side of the planet, a place where only the worst criminals are sent. With your memories hazy and surrounded by fellow convicts, your mission is simple: survive and perhaps uncover the truth behind your condemnation. Were you truly guilty? Or is there something more sinister at play?
Immerse yourself in an environment where a dense and conflict-ridden plot is skillfully woven by the political powers that control the exile. Confront creatures born from dubious genetic experiments in a region that exists on the fringes of civilization on this new planet.
Unravel the secrets hidden by dangers and beings that emerge from the mists of the legendary entity Jakaíra, blending international mythologies with elements of national folklore and Tupi-Guarani myths.
Goldilock One stands out for its fusion of multiple game genres. Intense and action-packed Hack and Slash combat is intertwined with moments of deep strategy, where every move counts. Managing your skills and resources while observing the behavior of your opponents will be crucial to triumph.
The Party system allows you to switch between different group members during battles, utilizing their unique abilities to overcome challenges and solve puzzles that permeate the mysterious environments of Nebegarde.

What we think is the most unique factor about our game that will stand out from our competitors?
The most unique factor is the dynamic relationship-driven companion system, where NPCs evolve based on trust, and can become playable characters depending on the player’s choices. This mechanic blends narrative depth with gameplay consequences, allowing players to shape not only the story, but also their party composition and survival strategy. Combined with a bleak sci-fi setting rooted in exile, scarcity, and psychological tension, Goldilock One offers a deeply personal and morally challenging survival RPG experience that goes beyond traditional genre boundaries.
What feeling will players be left with after experiencing our game?
Players will be left with a blend of emotional tension and quiet nostalgia. The harshness of exile, survival, and difficult choices creates a strong sense of weight and urgency, balanced by moments of calm exploration, thoughtful dialogue, and a slow, deliberate progression reminiscent of classic RPGs. As bonds form with companions and the story unfolds, players may feel echoes of older, character-driven adventures—reimagined within a darker, more mature setting.
By reintroducing and reimagining key elements from classic role-playing games, the experience is designed to linger beyond the screen, evoking reflection and a subtle longing for the genre’s golden age. At the same time, players are encouraged to feel deeply intrigued by the unfolding of the protagonist’s journey, the narrative mysteries, and the evolving relationship system with NPCs, making each connection and choice an integral part of the adventure.
