Casa Caballero

Language: The audio and signage is in Tagalog The subtitles and all the documents are in English (if that's a setting I can't find it) Recommendations: I'd personally play it on easy because dying just resets you to the end of the battle and there isn't much reason to do that. Also don't worry about leaving items in rooms, you can only set stuff down somewhere if it's meant to be there (or isn't but because you missed a hint). Gameplay: I didn't keep exact count but there are about 3 puzzles. They're all pretty standard, not hard to miss, pretty linear. In the fights you basically run around until you're far enough away and shoot, nothing complicated, but the aiming is needlessly hard. I personally didn't enjoy them. Without giving anything away, I think the chicken level is something special. I personally haven't seen that kind of fight in a game. I'd love to see this implemented in a more complicated game. Aesthetics and Story: The assets are really nice, and if your computer can't handle them there are lots of toggle settings that I'm sure would help. The game is short so I wouldn't expect tones of world building but there's a decent amount of context and world building in the documents you find. The building assets were very purposefully chosen and placed. I didn't feel like I was just anywhere, I felt in a place, in a time. I think there's a little symbolic atmospheric choices that add some nice hidden context, (maybe not to people who know their mythology, but to me who only saw the page long book). Rating: It'd say it's A for effort game wise, but I don't play a lot of short-form indie horror. My only major complaints are that walking's too slow (but I hate slow walks and runs with a passion), and the inventory system is a little annoying, though not clunky enough to be game ruining.

Great short horror game, yet really well done. with good not-to-hard puzzles

As a dad gamer and streamer, I’ve played a lot of horror games but Casa Caballero definitely took me for a rollercoaster ride! The atmosphere, the sound design, and those sudden jump scares? Man, they hit hard. It’s so intense that my wife literally slapped me out of shock during one of the scariest moments, that’s how immersive it gets! I really liked how the story slowly unfolds and keeps you guessing about what’s real and what’s not. The visuals and eerie details make it feel like you’re actually trapped in that haunted house. If I had one small dislike, it’s that a few areas could use smoother transitions or checkpoints but honestly, that just adds to the tension. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! If you’re into horror games that test your nerves and give you that adrenaline rush, Casa Caballero is a must-try. Just a warning, play with the lights off, but maybe not too close to your spouse. Good vibes only, fellow gamers!

I'm a fan of Filipino culture and this was a nice way of learning more about it. There weren't too many jump scares, the puzzles were maybe a bit too easy for my taste but overall it was worth playing.

hi guys! This game is so nice and will test your logical skills. The tikbalang is quite scary as it chases you very nice game play. Just dont forget to open your flashlight "F" I roamed for around 1 hour without turning that on and it really stucked me for a long time(sorry noob mistake). But after that the gameplay gets better and easier. You can watch my gameplay on my youtube channel "The Global Horror Files" or via this https://youtube.com/live/0Gbgds6mu9g?feature=share When you watch my video just skip to 1hr . I hope this one got a sequel. Kudos to the team who build this. 28/07/2025 Follow up HARD MODE: Since I already knew the flow Its quite easy to finish the logical task(the baybayin and the head statue) but the Jun is quite on the tank mode here! You need to aim the shots properly. The tikbalang is quite strong here if he captures you twice in a row youre dead.

okay lang

Game's too short, needs more depth in story telling, there's the intrigues but lacks in conclusion. Environment is fine, just need to optimize loading shaders before starting the game so that you do not notice assets loading while in game. Expand the world, its a good start but needs more to fully commit to this game.

Game was amazing had a lot of fun playing it!

Jogo muito loko!!!!! Façam mais :)

A short Filipino survival-horror about an abandoned old Filipino mansion PROS + For a very independent game, Casa Caballero plays like a modern survival horror and that's also it's highlight. After a good 5 minutes of exploring, game gives you a weapon and pushes you into a boss fight lol + Creature design and animation was actually really good and what I would imagine what a real Tikbalang would look, act, and sound like + On-point folk creature lore + Introduces a lot of Filipino culture HIT OR MISS ? I'm very used to first person controls but some of the buttons hate ? If you dislike chase sequences, you'll hate this lol ? Short but not sweet, from the 1-2 hour range. The game ended just when I was starting to really enjoy playing it CONS - Game is too dark to actually appreciate the graphics - Game lacks music which took away a huge part of the atmosphere. Maybe you can say that the silence adds to the tension but NAH, i keep hearing the MC's footsteps lol - Bad performance, theorizing it's Unreal Engine PC Specs for reference: GPU: RTX 4060ti CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500X RAM: DDR4 SDRAM 16gb Probably the most ambitious survival horror that came out of my country but it lacks a lot of soul to have that real tension in it combined with bad performance. Getting a recommendation because the game is really really cheap even on full price. 2.5 out of 5
