🎮 Gameplay

• Psychological Horror: Linger in the unease of dim corridors, cryptic visions, and lore-driven scares.

• Branching Paths: Multiple endings shaped by your choices—mercy, cruelty, survival, sacrifice.

• Exploration & Puzzles: Discover clues, decipher rituals, and navigate environments.

• Minimal Combat: Fear comes not from fighting, but from what you cannot escape.

🕯 Themes & Inspiration

Rooted in Filipino superstition, Sumpa transforms cultural beliefs into gameplay systems and environmental storytelling.
It’s a game about fear, family, trauma, the weight of the past… and what happens when the warnings of our elders were never just warnings.
