Hi,
You have probably seen some comments about deals on Nuuvem by now. You are
probably interested on them, since you are reading this. I will try to write
down some simple information and instructions about using this site.
I am in no way linked to Nuuvem, nor do I represent them.


What is Nuuvem?

Nuuvem is a Brazilian website that sells games. They have some good deals with
some of the major game producers, like EA and Sega.
It IS legit. I already bought Steam-redeemable games there.


Are all games for Steam?

No. Some of their games do not use Steamworks. You can check if a game is
Steam-redeemable following this simple instructions:

  1. Go to the page of the game that you want.
  2. Check if there is a "Notícia Específica" on the middle left of the page. If
    there is one, check if it says "Este game utiliza a ferramenta steamworks".
    You may use ctrl+f to search for "steamworks" too (Example here). If you find it, you got
    yourself a Steam game.

Another way to check for Steam games is to search for "steam" on that blue search box at the top right of the screen.


What is R$? How much it is worth?

R$ is the Brazilian Real, the local currency. It is not Russian.
On a quick search on Google (03/22/2012), I get the current conversion rate:
1 Brazil real = 0.549753 U.S. dollars
This means that a R$10,00 game is around 5.50 USD.
If you buy your game using paypal, you may get a different value for your
local money.


How can I pay for a game?

You can use paypal. There are some
other ways to use an international credit card or other things, but I don't
think they will be interesting for you and cannot guarantee that they will
work.


How do I buy a game?

  1. On the game page, click on the "Comprar", or "Adicionar ao carrinho" button. It has a small cart. You
    can do it for several games and pay it once. You can only do it once for each
    game, just like Steam.
  2. On the next page, you will have to identify yourself. You may register a
    new account, or use Facebook, or even Twitter. For a new account, they ask you
    the following information (in this order): Name, Last Name, Email, Login,
    Password, Password again. There is also a checkbox about their terms of
    service and another one for their newsletter.
  3. After identifying yourself, you just have to choose your way to pay for the
    games. If you choose paypal, it will pop an internal windows in English.

How do I retrieve my games?

You have to click on your username (up there in the right) and then on "Meus
games". After that, you can click on your game and check your keys.

About thr R$ exchange rate:
You can use Wolfram Alpha to calculate it. Just enter "R$19.99" and it shows the amount in your local currency. Please note that the R has to be upper case.

You should first log into your account in "acesse sua conta" uper right side
Log in with your datas, in the following fields "login = user" and "senha = password".
Once inside, it will list your purchased game
Chose that game which you want to download and click, you will probably find the link to download in the right window, just click it to download and use your own supplied serial key.

Remember you should be in "meus games" = my games.
