Taguan

Definitely an interesting horror game based from my country. I'm a little bit certain that most international players won't easily relate to the cultural references in this game, but I can definitely relate! I'm not an avid fan of 3D horror games, since I prefer watching other Youtubers play them instead, but I still enjoyed playing this one oddly enough. As a game developer myself, this game feels very polished so it's worth the price!

I am not always interested in horror games, but Taguan definitely checked all my boxes. The way Murushii tells the story through visuals, sound design, and dialogue is one of a kind and what really makes this game a masterpiece. You can tell the dev poured their heart and soul into this game with the intent of getting you to think critically about the social and political issues plaguing Philippine politics, as well as the ethical and moral dilemmas that one can face when dealing with these issues. The scare factor is not just in jump scares (though the jump scares were WILD), but in also how the game plays with your emotions and thought processes. I thoroughly enjoyed this game and highly recommend it!!

The nightmare part made me pee my shorts! The game is well made and I really enjoyed it!

I've played the demo, version 1 and now the steam version of Taguan, and honestly, this game just keep getting more disturbing in the best way! The demo already made me uncomfortable, but it felt like a warning. Version 1 stepped it up with heavier tension and clearer direction. Now in the Steam version, everything feels more polished, more intentional, and way more oppressive. The atmosphere hits harder, and the silence feels louder than ever. What really gets me is how relatable it feels. The setting, the routine, the quiet nights—it feels like real life, and that makes the fear sink in deeper. As a streamer, this is the kind of game where chat goes quiet because everyone’s locked in, waiting for something bad to happen. Each version shows how much the developer understands psychological horror. The Steam release feels like the most complete vision of Taguan so far, more refined, more confident, and way more unsettling. If you like horror games that mess with your head instead of throwing screams at you, Taguan is absolutely worth playing especially if you’ve followed it from the demo to now.

its Very amazing game 10/10

Taguan is a good horror game, by no means groundbreaking though. It had some great representation of how it would feel to live in a barangay with the struggles of the average Filipino. The issue is that it is really more a teaser. It sort of goes a little down hill at the end and loses its atmosphere a bit. Was not scary but the atmosphere was mostly there. A few issues I had with it was no save feature. The scares were very limited and mostly predicatable save for the ending which was a little bit of a surprise. Had a hunch we were going that way. Audio balancing was very off. Quiet to a point where I had to turn the volume way up and then get my ears destroyed as David decides to yell at the top of his lungs. The audio mix needs lots of improvement. Overall a 3/5. But because it had a heart than most horror games for the price I would say close to 4/5. Keep up the work =).

Great game, super creepy parts and a nice twist. The only things I didn't like - Eating sounds. I don't know why games include this. It's obnoxious and unnecessary. - The sleep paralysis segment. Super lazy horror that's overdone

[h1][b]「いつもの朝、いつもの仕事。ただ、悪夢だけが真実を知っている」[/b][/h1] [h1]ストーリー[/h1] デイヴィッド・ラガニは、どこにでもいる平凡なフィリピン人労働者。 しかし、正体不明の影が家に侵入し、周囲の人間が一人、また一人と消えていくことで、彼の平穏な生活は一変する。 引き延ばされたかのように長く感じる夜、闇の奥から近づいてくる足音。 暗闇の中で彼にできるのは、その音が自分の部屋のドアの前で止まらないよう、ただ祈ることだけだった。 [h1]概要[/h1] フィリピン人青年の慎ましい日常を追体験するサイコホラー・アドベンチャー。 プレイヤーは主人公デイヴィッドとして、起床、食事、入浴、出勤、そして就寝という、我々となんら変わらない5日間の日常ルーチンをこなしていく。繰り返される平凡な日々の中で、少しずつ、しかし確実に「世界の綻び」が顕現し、物語は衝撃の結末へと加速していく。 [h1]感想[/h1] フィリピン版『DEVOTION』」とも評すべき、凄まじい筆致のサイコホラー。 一見すると素朴な生活シミュレーターだが、長閑（のどか）な日常の隙間から漏れ出す不穏な予兆、そして後半の衝撃的な展開まで、作り手のストーリーテリングと演出力が光る。 特筆すべきは、フィリピンのリアルな生活文化の描写だ。 フィリピンの手桶タボ（Tabo）による入浴方法や、定番の食事シログ（Silog）など、食文化や習俗がゲームプレイに溶け込んでおり、文化的な学習要素としても興味深い。 低価格帯のホラーが乱立する中で、開発のMurushii Studiosが見せた独自の作家性は極めて高く、今後の動向に期待が膨らむ。価格以上の体験を約束してくれる、シリーズ化が楽しみな一作だ。 [h1]主人公が遭遇する脅威（ネタバレ）[/h1] [spoiler]ブレイク（抑圧が生んだ「もう一人の自分」） デヴィッドの精神が限界まで抑圧された末に生み出された別人格。 ブレイクはデヴィッドの自宅地下室に、50人以上もの犠牲者を遺棄・監禁していた。 デヴィッドが毎夜うなされていた「悪夢」の正体は、別人格であるブレイクが現実世界で実行していた凄惨な凶行を、断片的に追体験していたものだったのだ。 カトリック信仰が根強いフィリピンだが、その裏側で古くから根付く黒魔術「マンクラム（Mangkukulam）」の影を物語に落とし込んでおり、土着的な恐怖をより一層深めている。 [/spoiler] [h1]評価[/h1] 【GOOD】 ・フィリピンの文化・習俗を肌で感じられる、圧倒的な生活感。 ・静かな日常から地獄へと突き落とす、緻密なストーリーテリング。 ・恐怖を煽る、ここぞという場面での絶妙なジャンプスケア。 ・実話をベースに構築された、現実味のある恐怖。 【BAD】 ・[strike] オートセーブやチャプターセレクト機能がなく、リプレイ性がやや低い。[/strike]パッチ導入にて解消済み（Thanks!）

UY PILIPIN!
