As a fellow Filipino horror game developer and content creator, I’m not going to sugarcoat this. The developer gave me an exclusive copy to playtest, and I played it live on stream. There were moments where I genuinely wanted to quit halfway through because of how terrifying it is, but I promised I’d playtest and finish it and it was a banger game.
This is a massive step up from KoniiPinka’s previous game, The Hollow Shift. The imagery is deeply disturbing, so consider this a heads-up for streamers and content creators. There’s also some strong language throughout.
That said, it’s absolutely worth checking out.
If you enjoyed films like Shutter and Mama, or games such as Fatal Frame, DreadOut, Hotel 626, and She Was 98, this will be right up your alley. My playthrough lasted a little over an hour, and it was intense from start to finish. The game focuses heavily on tension and gradual build-up, and when the scare finally comes, it catches you completely off guard.
I’m giving this a 10 out of 10, my first-ever 10 rating for a Filipino horror game. This game genuinely made me terrified, and its images still stuck to me till now :((
