Narinig Mo Ba is a psychological horror game that mixes shop simulation and interactive storytelling, putting you in a modest sari-sari store in a Philippine neighbourhood. The first job seems boring. Taking orders, finding everything on the shelves, verifying prices, serving frequent clients.
But the more you play, the more you realise you are hearing more than just normal talks.
What’s most interesting about Narinig Mo Ba is how the game makes the ordinary unsettling. Maybe you're looking for a customer's parcel, and a few casual comments at the counter reveal a bit of the tale playing out in the neighbourhood.
Rumours, the characters’ discussions, and what seem to be trivial things start to link. The game doesn’t have to be making monsters or pursuing scenarios all the time to keep you on the tip of your seats. It's the unknown of what's normal and what's being hidden that gives the sense of discomfort.
Each customer may order one or more products. When processing the order you must examine the order, find the relevant product, process the amount and if necessary check the price.
In Narinig Mo Ba, discussion is almost as crucial as finishing the order. Maybe a comment from a consumer has some useful information for you to recall later. So if you pay attention to the language, see how the characters behave and listen to any changes in sound, you can avoid missing any clues.
The colourful shelves and hand-drawn 2D visual style offer a sense of familiarity, yet it’s this warmth that helps the horror work better. Narinig Mo Ba turns an ordinary grocery store into the heart of a psychological mystery. You come to sell stuff, but the more you listen the more you want to know: what's really going on in this neighbourhood?
