Setting
Goiânia, Brazil. The player remains in 2026 throughout. Historical layers such as 1933 are documentary reconstructions generated and read through the investigation — not time travel.

01What the game is
Archives, maps and testimony as discovery mechanics
Ecos do Cerrado combines documentary investigation, fictional historical narrative and diegetic technology to transform archives, maps and testimony into discovery mechanics.
Protagonist & technology
The player follows Nonolho, working with Thoranico: an original fictional in-universe system used to analyse documents, maps and evidence and to reconstruct historical layers.
Creative pillars
- —Documentary investigation
- —Goiás / Cerrado atmosphere
- —Memory and evidence
- —Thoranico
- —Nonolho
- —Cinematic presentation
02Project axis
A Living Memory Dossier of Goiânia
The project is built as a dossier: an investigation that assembles urban memory from documents, maps, photographs, testimony, architecture and conflicting evidence.
Documents and maps
Records and urban plans are the primary material of play, not decoration.
Photographs and architecture
The built city is read as a source: facades, plans and traces of use.
Testimony
Oral memory enters as a source with its own weight and its own limits.
Conflicting evidence
Sources disagree. The dossier holds the contradiction instead of resolving it into a single official version.
Anchored in 2026
Nonolho is physically in Goiânia in 2026. Historical decades are documentary and evidential reconstructions — never time travel.
Why it matters commercially
A distinctive Brazilian subject with cultural and heritage value, delivered as a playable investigation rather than a documentary.
Canonical positioning. No claim of institutional partnership or archive agreement is made on this page.
03Core loop
Documents → analysis → connections → reconstruction → new hypothesis
- Step 1
Documents
Source material enters the investigation: records, maps, testimony and evidence.
- Step 2
Analysis
Material is examined and interrogated through Thoranico.
- Step 3
Connections
Relationships between documents and evidence are established.
- Step 4
Reconstruction
A historical layer is reconstructed from the connected material.
- Step 5
New hypothesis
The reconstruction reframes the case and drives the next line of enquiry.
04Differentiation
What sets the project apart
Evidence-first investigation
The investigation is built around documents, maps, testimony and evidence rather than dialogue-tree deduction.
Brazilian / Goiás setting
A setting and cultural identity rarely represented in narrative games.
Historical memory, read from 2026
Historical memory is interpreted through a contemporary investigation, keeping the player anchored in the present.
Original fictional technology and IP
Thoranico is original IP: a diegetic analysis system that carries both the mechanics and the fiction. Presentation is cinematic throughout.

- —Scale association
- —Network map
- —Version overlay
- —Audio annotation
- —Consent
- —Custody
- —Final edit
- —Letters, destinations, map and custody support drag and drop, with functional parity via Tab / Enter / buttons
- —The 1960 comparison uses two of the project's own documentary reconstructions, a transparency slider and a visible marker
- —Incorrect attempts receive three levels of guidance per chapter and never create a dead end
- —Local ledger records source, attempt, conclusion, hypothesis, review and closure; method integrity and pressure are bounded 0–100
- —The final dossier receives an auditable method arc without retroactively rewriting the human choice
- —A brief environmental reaction confirms a completed method without suggesting physical travel
Audit note
P52 automated and static validation is green: pytest 571/571 PASS, GDScript sanity 96/96 PASS, independent gdparse parser 96/96 accepted, static audit PASS with 0 missing res:// references, release audit PASS across 503 images, 576 audio files and 421 dialogue entries with 0 disconnected main dialogues, static menu-to-credits flow PASS over 8 chapters and 19 canonical scenes, audio PASS on 18/18 buses, visual PASS and the P52 experience preflight PASS on 14/14 controls. IP compliance returns 0 BLOCKER, 0 HIGH and 2 MEDIUM items — historical and contextual ALVIGO uses awaiting human review — so no full legal clearance is claimed. External gates remain open and are not claimed here: boot, input, render and playthrough on Godot 4.7.1; human perceptual evaluation of layout, contrast, audio, pacing and accessibility; PCK / EXE inspection, signing and distribution; legal opinion, formal trademark search, contracts and age rating. There is no distributable public build, no public demo, no validated Windows export and no definitive release-ready status.
