You are the eldest child and the only one with a job. Over six paydays to Christmas, split one salary between rent, the electric bill, Nanay's medicine, and what your family asks of you, then come home to see what it cost them. A Filipino horror game about things that happen to real families.
"You're the only one we can count on now."
You are the panganay, the eldest child, and the only one in the house with a job.
Every payday the money lands on your phone, and it's never enough. Rent, the electric bill, Nanay's medicine, your sister's school fees, and whatever Bunso and Tatay ask for all come out of one salary. You decide what gets paid and what goes unpaid.
Then you walk home, and the house shows you what your choices cost.
- Six paydays between October and Christmas, each one short of what the house needs
- Nanay, Tatay, your sister, and Bunso change with every peso you spend or keep
- Everyone remembers what you paid and what you refused
- Your family's letters at the end change with every choice
- Plays in Filipino or English, in about 30 to 90 minutes
