Prepare for an epic adventure set in 1915 Brazil, where you become Bento, a fearless blind cowboy hunting supernatural monsters. Your mission: to hunt down the feared "Visagens"—legendary creatures from folklore that roam the land, leaving destruction in their wake.
"Undead, specters, beasts, djinns, mutants, dwarves or giants... These nightmare creatures are called Visagens. They have but one purpose: to kill."
— R. Teófilo
Amidst the chaos of one of Brazil's most devastating droughts, Visagens follows Bento, a cowboy who lost his family and his sight after a fateful encounter with the Famaliá, the demon of the bottle. Rescued by Teófilo, a supernatural hunter, Bento becomes his disciple, taking on the grim task of exterminating the evil beings known as "Visagens."
Armed with a mysterious revolver and aided by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Bento will face creatures from Brazilian folklore, including the Saci, Mula-sem-Cabeça, Mapinguari, and more, while traversing unique settings like remote villages, steam trains, and cursed cemeteries.
As you journey through the outbacks, uncover Bento's tragic past and how he became a relentless Visagens hunter. Every revelation brings him closer to his revenge, as each battle becomes a life-or-death struggle. Get ready for an action-packed, emotional adventure where the stakes are as high as the thrill!
