Niko and his father are threatened with eviction due to two months’ unpaid rent. In the game Hapunan, the only way for them to get out of the Barangay Sakdudol neighbourhood is to sell balut (shellfish) all night long to earn money to pay off their debt.
Balut business and raising chickens for profit
The first challenge is at the poultry farm. You have to collect the eggs yourself, raise the chickens, and boil the balut according to the right procedure before selling them. Poor time management or slow operation will result in the father and son not having enough money to pay off their debt and losing out quickly.
The dark truth in Hapunan
Applying for a business license gets Niko into trouble with the corrupt village chief and his henchmen.
Confronting Penduko and the village chief
Penduko is the most dangerous person in the area. Everything will hinge on how you handle your meeting with his daughter Jayn or your decision to keep quiet about a murder case.
Choices Leading to the End
The game lasts approximately 30 to 40 minutes, but there are many different endings. Clicking the wrong dialogue option can cost Niko the lives of his loved ones.
