Hapunan

Hapunan brings players into the shoes of Niko, a balut vendor whose everyday routine takes a dark turn after a visit to the local barangay office. What starts as an effort to secure a business permit slowly unravels into a much deeper situation involving the barangay captain and his hidden dealings. With its focus on grounded, culturally inspired storytelling, Hapunan presents a unique setting that reflects both rural life and the tension of secrets kept too long.
Tension Beneath Familiar Streets
As players explore familiar yet unsettling environments, they must navigate both physical spaces and moral decisions. The game’s narrative-driven structure means every clue and interaction may hold weight later. Suspense builds from unexpected threats, and from the realization that Niko is being drawn into a web of betrayal and unresolved conflict. Through investigating documents, sneaking past watchful eyes, and confronting past violence, players uncover the truth about the barangay’s hidden history.
Personal Stakes and Emotional Choices
Hapunan mixes atmospheric tension with grounded emotion. Niko isn’t a hero—he’s someone caught in a situation far larger than himself, and his motivation is simple: protect his family. Every choice you make as the player ties directly to this goal, and multiple playthroughs can lead to different outcomes based on how you handle what’s uncovered. With a short but tight runtime of around 30–40 minutes, Hapunan offers a focused experience that tells a complete story while leaving a lasting impression.
