Hapunan

Hapunan is a story-driven psychological horror game set on the midnight streets of the Philippines, where urban poverty meets local folklore. You play as Niko, a teenager whose family is in financial ruin. Two months behind on rent and facing immediate eviction by their ruthless landlord, Niko and his father work the night streets to earn money and protect their home.

The midnight trade

Niko and his father sell balut, a street food made by cracking a small hole in the shell, sipping the warm broth inside, then seasoning the rest with salt and spicy vinegar. For vendors working the graveyard shift, the trade is a livelihood, but it also hides secrets. As debt and danger mount, Niko and his father encounter the name whispered with dread through the alleys: Penduko.

Choices and consequences

You face moral dilemmas as the story follows Niko and his family. Your choices affect character relationships, branch the narrative and determine the ending, while shaping Niko’s morality and his family’s fate. You also piece together the secrets behind the street trade and discover who or what Penduko is.

Midnight streets

You walk desolate streets in a quiet, claustrophobic atmosphere and deal with unpredictable patrons in the dark. The story’s horror draws on Philippine folklore and the disturbing truths hidden beneath the broth and shell of the trade.
