Soul Siblings

Soul Siblings is a story-driven game inspired by Javanese culture, history and beliefs. Set on 13–14 March 2025, it follows the Main Character and her “Soul Siblings” as they uncover the truth about her school and family.

Javanese beliefs

The game draws on Sedulur Papat Limo Pancer, a philosophy that guides people in appreciating and controlling their emotions and actions in daily life. Sedulur Papat (“the four siblings”) represents four desires: amarah (anger), lawwamah (greed or gluttony), supiah (lust) and mutmainnah (sloth). Limo Pancer (“the fifth at the center”) represents the body as the controller of these desires. The concept is connected to Djinn Qorin, translated as “Soul Siblings.”

The school’s past

The story centers on Skandium Junior High School in Skandium city. Its site was first home to Smarasanta, an open school established on 3 July 1922 by three native Javanese scholars. On 13 December 2023, Aetos Foundation purchased the entire site and inaugurated a new school building.

Residents have complained about the building’s physical condition, including cracks in the walls, wild plants and reptiles. They have also reported school activities continuing late at night, with gamelan music, the smell of burning and strangers coming and going. The school authority has denied these reports.
