A fast-paced Brazilian old-school FPS heavily inspired by the first Quake and built on the same engine, id Tech 2. It is a standalone expansion of BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER 3, and a tribute to the Brazilian mods and bootleg games of the 2000s.

Ranked #8 on the Steam 250 seven-day chart, scoring 8.08 with a 99% positive rating from 264 reviews. Released 16 September 2026.

Key features

Built on id Tech 2 on purpose

Plenty of shooters imitate the Quake look with modern engines and a filter. This one runs on the actual 1996 engine, which constrains movement, geometry and lighting in ways a retro shader cannot fake.

The full title is the joke and the pitch

The complete name runs to more than twenty words and describes the entire plot. That is not an accident: it is an exact reproduction of how Brazilian bootleg titles of the 2000s marketed themselves, and it tells you the tone before you read a single review.

Modern movement inside an ancient shell

Double jump and dash sit on top of the id Tech 2 base. The tension between 1996 rendering and 2026 traversal is the whole design, and it is why the reviews read as affectionate rather than nostalgic.
