DRACU-RIOT! — Genres, rating & game data

GRITO GRIOT is a collaboration between us (RAT KING) and Auss & Auss. We met last year in October 2019 while we were at the Goethe Institute in Salvador da Bahia in Brazil for two months. We were looking for people to do collaborations with and got to know Nikima, an artist and musician from São Paulo. He was working on an elaborate sci-fi story about humans rioting against a huge corporation called Auss & Auss. The story was released in hyper-short chapters accompanied by Nikima's driving music. You can read them here. Inspired by this story and a chapter about the hero digitizing himself to get away from the Auss & Auss brothers' grasp, we created the game GRIOT RIOT. It was part of the Auss & Auss exhibition in Salvador in 2020. The original game is played with a real berimbau - a musical instrument traditionally used in Capoeira for rhythm. So in each level you can find a different element the berimbau is made of. This version is playable with a keyboard (space bar), a game pad or any type of microphone input (see the readme.txt).
