My brother and his team made Tagbalay—a Hiligaynon horror game where the scariest thing isn't a monster, but inheriting your mother's debt.

Hey!

My brother and his friends (Josh, Renson, & Mel) just submitted their game for the Filipino Horror Game Jam 2026, and I wanted to help spread the word!

🎮 What is Tagbalay? Tagbalay is a 2D first-person social and survival horror point-and-click game made in Godot. You play as a son trying to survive minimum wage, a sick mother, and the heavy weight of inherited debt.

🚪 What makes it unique?

  • No Ghosts, Just Real-Life Horror: The fear comes from hard times—no second income, growing bills, and an unexpected knock at the door every night. Is it a collector? A neighbor? A fraudster? Or someone needing shelter? You decide whether to answer, pay, slam the door, or let them in.
  • Authentically Filipino: Fully voiced in Hiligaynon (with English subtitles) to capture authentic cultural situations and local fear.
  • Controls: Playable with mouse or touch controls.

🛠️ The Team Behind It:

  • Programming: Jude Timothy Joshua Bomban
  • Art: Rommel John Panal (Mel)
  • Music: Josh Reuven Mission
  • Voices & Sound Effects: Renson Nicor

Since this is a game jam entry and still in development, the team would love your feedback and support!

Check it out and let them know what you think!
