English to Portuguese: Kelvin and the Infamous Machine (Localization) General field: Other Detailed field: Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino
Source text - English Kelvin and the Infamous Machine is a hilarious point-and-click adventure in which you stumble irresponsibly through history to help legendary geniuses complete their masterworks!
Kelvin is the well-meaning research assistant of Dr. Edwin Lupin, an outstanding but tacky physicist who goes completely nuts when his life’s work, a shower-shaped time machine, is ridiculed by the scientific community. Bent on leaving his mark, Lupin launches himself into the past to prevent history’s greatest geniuses from completing their defining works, so HE can complete them instead.
Translation - Portuguese Kelvin and the Infamous Machine é uma hilária aventura de point-and-click em que você viajará aos trancos e barrancos através da história para ajudar gênios lendários a concluir suas obras-primas.
Kelvin é o assistente de pesquisa bem-intencionado do Dr. Edwin Lupin, um físico excepcional (mas de muito mau gosto) que perde as estribeiras ao ver o trabalho de sua vida, uma máquina do tempo na forma de um chuveiro, ser ridicularizado pela comunidade científica. Decidido a deixar a sua marca na história, Lupin se lança ao passado para impedir que os maiores gênios da humanidade concluam suas obras decisivas e, assim, ELE possa finalizá-las.
English to Portuguese: Ghostory (Translation) General field: Other Detailed field: Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino
Source text - English Ghostory is a 2D platformer based on switching between a human form and a ghost form to pass various puzzles. It is underlined by a light-minded, yet engaging plot and retro-styled pixel art graphics.
In human form, the player can interact with levers, keys or backpack. In ghost form, the player can fly or pass through walls. The player has to cleverly use both forms to get the backpack out of the cave.
Throughout the game, you pass through dozens of carefully-crafted levels which test your logical thinking. New mechanics and unique puzzles get introduced the deeper you get into the cave, making the game easy to get into, but always challenging and non-repetitive.
Translation - Portuguese Ghostory é um jogo de plataforma 2D em que é necessário trocar entre as formas humana e a fantasma para resolver os quebra-cabeças. É uma aventura marcada pelo seu enredo despretensioso, ainda que envolvente, e por sua arte pixelada retrô.
Na forma humana, o jogador pode interagir com alavancas, chaves ou a mochila. Já quando transformado em fantasma, ele é capaz de flutuar e atravessar paredes. O desafio será utlizar ambas as formas com inteligência para levar a mochila para fora da caverna.
Ao longo do jogo, você passará por doze níveis cuidadosamente elaborados que desafiarão o seu raciocínio lógico. Novas mecânicas e quebra-cabeças serão introduzidos durante a aventura, à medida que você se aprofunda na caverna, o que torna o jogo fácil de compreender, mas sempre desafiador e não-repetitivo.
English to Portuguese: The Cat In The Hijab (Localization) General field: Other Detailed field: Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino
Source text - English A cat wearing a hijab (a headscarf) boards the subway on her daily commute. What interactions await her over the course of her commute, and how does she react to them?
This is a short-form point and click game made in 1 week for #ResistJam, and briefly explores the topics of diversity, inclusiveness, tolerance, racism, bigotry, sexism, Islamophobia, and homophobia.
Urban subways are a petri-dish of society. Diverse elements are forced into a confined space. This game explores what it is like to be on the receiving end of hate speech, and asks the question of what do we do when hate speech happens to us and to others.

Translation - Portuguese Uma gata vestindo um ojá (um turbante) sobe em um metrô em seu percurso cotidiano. Quais serão as atitudes dos demais passageiros frente a ela durante o trajeto? Como a gata reagirá a eles?
Este é um breve jogo que aborda o preconceito contra religiões (de menor expressão), racismo, sexismo, homofobia e diversidade sexual.
Como qualquer meio de transporte, os metrôs são uma síntese da vida na cidade. Este jogo explora os sentimentos dos alvos de discursos de ódio e lança uma pergunta: o que nós fazemos quando esse tipo de agressão ocorre em nossa presença, seja conosco ou com outras pessoas?
