Story Setup: What Happens in Hapunan?
Hapunan centers on Niko, a teenager facing extreme financial distress. Two months behind on rent and facing immediate eviction by an uncompromising landlord, Niko and his father take to midnight Philippine streets to sell balut—a traditional street delicacy of fertilized duck egg.
The nocturnal trade quickly exposes them to dark neighborhood alleys and the feared name Penduko. Across the narrative, player choices dictate how Niko handles moral dilemmas, interacts with characters like Jayn and Kayle, manages chicken farming and egg preparation, and uncovers the reality behind the street trade.
