Ayo: A Rain Tale sheds the light on a young girl who regularly carries her tough water-fetching duty with courage. Ayo’s struggle is shared by many girls in Sub-Saharan Africa who live in communities that have no access to clean water. The daily burden of fetching water is carried by women and children, who go on journeys to distant sources and return home shouldering a 40-pound container filled with water for their families.

With no time left for education, many women are denied the opportunity to develop themselves and their communities. An estimated 200 million hours are spent each day on water-fetching around the world [1], leaving both girls and women with little opportunity to break this cycle.

      We embark on a perilous journey to help a sub-Saharan girl Ayo to fetch drinking water for her family. Unfortunately, the water reserves are in the most dangerous and difficult to reach places. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?ID=1558486527 the environment is rather rough, Ayo confronts the unforgiving drought and will bravely brave the elements (storm, sandstorm) that are unleashed. Throughout the game, you will meet generous and playful old people who will guide you throughout your journey. They will give you knowledge and abilities such as digging in tunnels, doublesaut, activating mechanisms. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1558845664 Ayo is an aesthetically beautiful game, unusual décor, with an excellent artistic style that tries to raise awareness about the serious problem of transporting drinking water by children in extreme conditions. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1558524718 remain positive and persevere, this is the message conveyed. It was fun, sometimes frustrating, am not very gifted in doublesauts and some passages are not obvious. To try absolutely on promo.

      Product received for free Meinen detailed Article can be found on http://polygonien.de/2017/11/ein-maedchen-und-ihr-kampf-ums-trinkwasser-ayo-a-rain-tale-im-test/, but the Conclusion and a List of the most important Points can be found right here: And this Impression Unfortunately, the whole Game runs through. The original Theme, namely the everyday Battle for Water, takes a Long back seat after just a Few Minutes of play that you can hardly distinguish Ayo from all the other Platformers. Graphically, there are some really respectable Passages, but here, too, you can see that it is more of a Low-budget project. The Intention behind Ayo: A Rain Tale is extremely laudable, but ultimately the Developers make too little of it. If you have already played the magical Never Alone and want more "ethno games," you can still risk a Look for Lack of Alternatives. Actually, no clear Buy recommendation, but since Steam Only allows YES and NO, I give the Thumbs up. Rather positive: Important Topic/laudable Intentions (at least in the Core) fresh Setting of neat Optics solid control solid Puzzles rather negative: Gameplay "Off the Shelf" Story hardly takes place relatively short Game time (2-3h) much given Away potential
