Behind the everyday

A familiar place.
An unsettling story.

A sari-sari store is where the neighborhood drops by for a little of everything. In Narinig Mo Ba?, that includes gossip.

The game’s hand-drawn groceries and casual conversations give way to psychological horror. Take your time with the dialogue. Knowing the people makes what follows matter.
