A 8-bit adventure built-in a crossworld - wrote by Fernanda Tosta
The story begins with a fable - the Scorpionfly is a new species that emerged in 2020 from a completely unexpected crossbreeding. Apparently, a Scorpion, one of the oldest terrestrial animals on Earth, stopped at the edge of a lake and was enchanted by a Dragonfly. Beautiful, light, and adapted to that environment of abundant vegetation, that small flying dragon with unequal wings awakened true joy in the scorpion. The Dragonfly, transformed by the swamp, endowed with special eyes, had the privilege of seeing 360 degrees of a world that was its own. Knowing its long life, its freedom, and perfectly balanced, it flew like an open book over that creature, heavy, shelled, accustomed to heat and dryness. The Scorpion, completely enamored with that image, didn't know how to handle it. It tried to climb the rocks and bushes to get closer, but would it survive if it fell into the water? Accustomed to holes, leaf debris, living among nearby construction materials, how could it be? … God didn't give wings to snakes, but humans did!
Why play? Scorpionfly is a metaphor for an encounter of two humans that need to collaborate in six different environments to survive the climate crises. The game draws attention to the current problems through challenges faced in scenarios by two players who take turns according to the hard and soft skills learned during the levels. With a surprising ending and scientific answers for each problem solved, those who experience Scorpionfly never forget it.
