9 itemsAbout the Game
A torrential flood drowns a quiet rural village overnight — but when the waters recede, not everything that returned was human.
You play as Ramon “Monching” Vergara, a young man searching for his missing sister amid the wreckage of their hometown. The floodwaters left behind strange symbols, unholy murmurs, and a silence heavier than death itself. Armed with little more than a gas lamp, a farming tool, and his will to survive, Ramon must uncover the truth buried beneath the mud and memories of Sitio Malig
But as night falls, the line between the living and the damned fades. Every shadow hides something watching. Every whisper carries a curse.
