Control Cururu, a bullfrog native to Brazil’s fauna, on a spiritual journey to purify a world consumed by corruption.
The deep corruption of the miasma is eroding the minds of mortals and spirits alike. Desperate and alone, one of the last spirits of the forest — Naiá, the Spirit of the Water Lily — chooses a hero. Now, a young cururu bullfrog must embark on a journey of self-discovery to save the land he calls home before the corruption devours everything.
Cururu: Whispers of the Forest is a 2D Metroidvania deeply rooted in Brazilian culture. Explore biomes reimagined in a Naturepunk aesthetic, solve puzzles, evolve your abilities, face corrupted animals and spirits, and unlock new paths using the purifying power of water.
