About the Game

A first-person, realistic horror game that places you in the role of a newly hired security guard at a Malaysian school with a sinister reputation. As night falls, your patrols quickly take a terrifying turn when you encounter restless spirits and supernatural phenomena drawn from the depths of Malaysian folklore. The eerie silence of the school’s corridors and the unsettling shadows lurking in corners hint at a history that refuses to stay buried.

With every step, you’ll navigate detailed, immersive environments—from creaky, dimly lit classrooms to abandoned courtyards and forgotten shrines. Uncover clues, interact with tormented spirits, and piece together the tragic events that have bound these entities to the school grounds. Your choices determine how you confront the supernatural: will you use traditional exorcism rituals to bring peace, or will your decisions deepen the horrors you face?

Experience a rich narrative-driven adventure where every decision matters. The deeper you delve into the school's mysteries, the more you discover the hidden truths behind each haunting. Will you survive the night and uncover the real story behind the school's old caretaker, or will you become another lost soul in its haunted halls?

Features:

First-Person Realism: Immerse yourself in a meticulously crafted school environment, with realistic graphics and atmospheric sound design that pull you into the heart of the horror.

Supernatural Encounters: Face spirits and creatures inspired by Malaysian folklore, each with unique backstories tied to the school’s dark past.

Choice-Driven Narrative: Your decisions impact the story, influencing how you interact with spirits, solve mysteries, and determine the fate of the haunted school.

Venture into Souls That Wait: Penunggu, where the line between reality and the supernatural blurs, and the truth hides in the shadows. Will you uncover the secrets behind the hauntings, or will the darkness consume you?
