Narinig Mo Ba immerses you in a unique psychological horror experience, artfully disguised as a serene, traditional sari-sari store in the Philippines. You work the register, looking up items for clients in a frenzy, checking prices, keeping track of the day’s sales, and listening to the chatter from the regulars.
Authentic Sari-Sari Store Simulation: Feel the life of a real shopkeeper. You ought to be quick in noticing demanded things, pricing, and giving careful service to your frequent customers.
Slow-Burn Psychological Horror: Tension doesn’t stem from pursuit scenes or fighting, but from an atmosphere of creeping dread, concealed nuances, and dialogue full of subtext. Rich Filipino Cultural Setting: The game has a completely unique personality, from the neighborhood-style commerce and signature local products to the casual everyday talk.
Story Told by Rumours: There is no narrator. Rather, you learn the neighborhood’s dark secrets through casual interactions with customers, piecing together the puzzles.

The fundamental gameplay is around managing the store and playing through the story as it unfolds. Customers will come in and ask for specific things, and it is up to you to find the items accurately, whether they are on the shelves, hanging in sachets, sitting on the counter or in the refrigerator.
Read each customer’s request carefully, choose the correct items, and check prices as necessary. Some consumers may order many things or a significant quantity; haste increases the likelihood of picking wrong products or making blunders.
While the sales work is straightforward, the conversations are the heart of the game. Regular customers will share rumors and personal details. There are no weapons, combat, or chases here; the pressure stems from trying to understand the horrifying story hidden beneath everyday small talk.
