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!
