AYO A Rain Tale – A Fun Action Game with a Message

Inkline has announced that AYO A Rain Tale is coming to Steam and the Mac App Store on November 9th. The game is designed as a side-scrolling adventure, but with a twist. You will head out on a life-changing journey to find clean water. However, you will also come to understand that this is not an easy task.

AYO A Rain Tale

Ayo: A Rain Tale explores the psychological impact of trekking across the desert to carry water – revealing the struggles of millions of sub-Saharan African women and girls. Players take on the role of Ayo, a young girl who is about to leave home alone for the first time to gather water for her family. To do this, Ayo must face the harsh conditions of the Sahelian droughts and overcome her fears without falling victim to her own mind …

After encountering a sudden sandstorm, Ayo loses her path and is lost in the desert. Fortunately, she meets the Asili Twins – who join Ayo on her search for water and provide help along the way. As she continues to travel, the world around Ayo begins to look mysterious and magical – as if she’s been transported to a new land.

The desert is a dangerous place, and you will face many hardships. Crawl, climb, and jump your way through the Sub-Saharan lands as you solve puzzles, avoid dangerous hazards, and discover hidden paths during the scorching days and lonesome nights. Escape from crashing boulders, time your jumps perfectly with moving platforms, and challenge ruthless enemies – all culminating in a climactic encounter with Ja Thunderstorm, a large bull who wants to keep all the water for himself!

If you survive, you must face a harsh reminder of the world we live in during your trek back home, which is grounded in reality.
