Game Description
You’re heading home on a late-night Jeepney down Roxas Boulevard, passing passengers' bayad (payment) to the driver while keeping your head down. But as ominous text messages begin flooding your phone, a quiet commute quickly turns into a desperate negotiation. Someone knows where you are, someone knows what you owe and they’re guiding you toward a destination you never planned to visit.

This one is great! It actually captures the horror of real-life danger. Game mechanics are great, the phone interaction too. Needs more polishing on the technical side but overall satisfying gameplay.
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the gameplay. 🙏 If you don't mind me asking, could you please elaborate on which aspects of the technical side you think could use more polish? I'd appreciate any specific feedback so I can understand how to improve the game and my skills as a developer. Thank you!
immersive I remember when i went to that location irl and that twist man this actually does happen in real life. really hate the kid at the jeep tho lol 10/10
Thank you so much for playing! 🙏 Glad the game felt immersive, and yeah, the kid is definitely a handful! 😂
That was intense! I loved how the final part built up the uneasiness. I enjoyed looking around to see witty brand names, and the typing feature on the phone was a nice touch. Well done!
Thank you for playing! I'm really glad those small details and the tense buildup landed so well for you. 😊🙏
Amazing. I am at a loss for words.
I love how the story is played out. The build up, the tension, and the constraint of not sitting at the edge of the jeep. It all makes sense!
Thank you for the feedback! It means a lot. 🙏
Wow! Your game is great! The story is really good, and the build-up of tension leading up to the reveal is awesome!
Thank you so much for playing! Creating that slow-burn tension was a huge focus, so hearing it paid off means a lot. 😊
I really loved this game. The story leaves you with a great lesson at the end, and the whole concept is incredibly unique. It's one of the best jam entries I've played so far. Great job, bro!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words. 😊🙏
Eyyy W gamee, I liked the lighting, the environment, the textures, It's like your childhood nightmares going back to you, With a great lesson
Thank you so much! Hearing that the atmosphere made an impression and that the message connected with you means a lot. 😊

Thank you for the feedback! You nailed the biggest takeaways. 🙏
Wow, Nice Filipino Horror Game na naman! 😊👍
Salamat po! 🙏
interesting take on a prevalent yet promoted by celebrities of an issue. I genuinely feared for my mum's life when I got immersed in the story. The environment and the jeepney also made me nostalgic about my time in the philippines.
Thank you for the feedback! It means a lot. 🙏
