Overview

About this game

A torrential flood drowns a quiet rural village overnight — but when the waters recede, not everything that returned was human.

You play as Ramon “Monching” Vergara, a young man searching for his missing sister amid the wreckage of their hometown. The floodwaters left behind strange symbols, unholy murmurs, and a silence heavier than death itself. Armed with little more than a gas lamp, a farming tool, and his will to survive, Ramon must uncover the truth buried beneath the mud and memories of Sitio Malig

But as night falls, the line between the living and the damned fades. Every shadow hides something watching. Every whisper carries a curse.

Features

Survive the Aftermath

Navigate through flooded rice fields, ruined homes, and mist-shrouded forests. Manage limited stamina, light, and tools as you piece together the mystery of your sister’s disappearance.

Face the Re-imagined Folk Horrors of the Philippines

Encounter twisted beings born from local folklore — from restless spirits to cursed villagers. Each creature has its own behaviors, patterns, and weaknesses inspired by ancient superstitions.

Rituals and Curses

Break ancient seals, dispel baybayin-engraved sigils, and perform native-inspired cleansing rites to open paths and uncover secrets.

Environmental Storytelling

Every area — from the village and old ruins to the swamp — tells its story through decayed shrines, broken offerings, and the remnants of the people who once lived there.

Cultural Puzzles 

Solve mysteries rooted in Filipino traditions:

  • Arrange ancestral relics

  • Interpret baybayin scripts

  • Align spiritual symbols tied to the land and its forgotten faith.

Immersive Native Soundscape

A haunting score blending traditional Philippine instruments with dark ambient tones sets the mood — eerie, spiritual, and deeply human.

The Drowned Will Rise

As Ramon ventures deeper into Sitio Malig, encounter horrifying creatures that will test not only his courage, but also his faith.
