Pagsubok

Pagsubok (a Filipino word meaning “test”) is a serious decision-making narrative game set in disaster-prone rural communities in the Philippines. The game explores how individuals navigate survival, responsibility, and community during natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.
Players take on the role of Gabriel, a young boy trying to return home to his family while making difficult decisions that impact others around him. Through branching narrative logic and consequence-based gameplay, the project emphasizes resilience, resource management, and collective care.
