Hapunan is a horror game deeply rooted in Filipino culture, offering a narrative that quickly shifts from the ordinary to the terrifying. You step into the role of Niko, a balut vendor whose day begins with a straightforward mission: securing a business permit. However, what appears to be a routine task soon reveals a darker undercurrent. As Niko navigates his local barangay, he stumbles upon disturbing secrets tied to the Barangay Captain, his dangerous allies, and a violent history that threatens to resurface.
Navigate Suspenseful Choices and Hidden Truths
In Hapunan, every decision you make pushes the story into new, unpredictable directions. As Niko delves deeper into the community’s hidden past, he must face moral dilemmas and dangerous encounters that force him to choose between survival and uncovering the truth. The game’s point-and-click mechanics, paired with atmospheric sound design, immerse you in an environment where every shadow could conceal a threat. Trust is scarce, and even familiar faces may harbor dark intentions. Your choices will determine whether Niko uncovers the truth or falls victim to the secrets he’s trying to expose.
A Short, Cultural Horror Story That Leaves a Mark
Developed in Unity as a debut project, Hapunan delivers a compact but emotionally charged experience, with a playtime of 30-40 minutes. The game’s strength lies in its ability to weave suspense and cultural authenticity into a narrative that feels both personal and universal. As you guide Niko through his increasingly dangerous world, you’ll experience a blend of tension, action, and emotional stakes that few horror games achieve in such a short span.
