Taguan
Story and Features
David Lagani is just an ordinary Filipino worker trying to get by. But when news spreads of a figure breaking into homes and making people disappear, his routine turns to dread.
Every night feels longer. Every sound feels closer. And all David can do is pray the footsteps don’t stop at his door.
Taguan comes from the Filipino word Tago, which means Hide In English, it can translate to Hiding and is also the term used for the childhood game Hide and Seek.
Full Game: 1 hour+ | Demo: 10 to 20 minutes
- Slow-Burn Filipino Societal Horror
- Psychological Horror Elements
- Interactive Fiction–Driven Narrative
- Walking Simulator–Style Gameplay
- Low-Poly, Semi-Realistic Visuals
- Unsettling, Oppressive Atmosphere
- Full Filipino Voice-Overs
- Gore and Violence
This standalone horror game is personally developed and designed to be experienced in a single sitting, completely independent from my other projects.
It is a narrative-focused, slow-burn psychological experience, prioritizing atmosphere, storytelling, and societal themes over traditional action or survival-horror mechanics.

This game made me feel like I was watching a movie. It is scary, and I absolutely love it, from the voiceover to the plot ending. I didn't see that coming. This is another great game from Murushii, nice job!
Thank you for playing, Zein! ^_^
Absolute Cinema!
Thank you Amor! ^_^

Thank you so much zhey! I'm sorry about the chair hahahaha
One of the best horror games I've played in a long time! Great job, Murushii!
Thank you so much, man! I appreciate it <3
Game is good but the Voice Actor of David Lagani is awful. It's like he doesn't even speak Tagalog. No emotion or everything. Just bad acting of the voice actor.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you playing the game and sharing your honest thoughts. The voice actors for David Lagani, Gloria Peralta, and Lalyn Polon are all first-timers, so feedback like yours really helps us grow. Thank you again for giving it a chance! :D
I've always loved the games you make. You may not remember me, but I have rebranded. I have played 2 or 3 of your previous games on stream and have loved them. One especially with the music for the game as well. I will be playing this one tonight.
On the off chance you remember me, my old streaming account's name was Hyperskreen. It is now nullgrave. Over on kick. This isn't a promotional comment, I just wanted to show appreciation towards you and your games as I'm sure I will, undoubtedly, like this one as well!
Thank you so much nullgrave! :D
nice game , jumpscare bring on good heart attack 7/10, story was nice bcz its basically mixed on true event .
i hope there will be next sequel soon ........
Thank you so much AggyOle! :D
Taguan is really scary and fun to play, especially if you love Filipino horror with a solid story. I love the storyline — para sa’kin, sobrang ganda. The voice actors did an amazing job. Great work, Murushii! Can’t wait for your next game. And by the way, natawa ako kasi yung mga favorite kong streamers, nasa characters pala sa Taguan tapos may script pa sila — subrang sulit!...
Maraming salamat Edsel! :D
can you add this game on steam its not on steam
It's planned on Steam soon. I can't give an exact date when it'll be on Steam, but it will be ^w^
can you let me know in here that you added the game on steam
Thank you
Another masterpiece by Murushii! Absolutely loved this game and the strong message behind it, W game!
Thank you so much Yanna! 😊❤️
10/10! Loved the story and the plot twist. Lastly, W voice acting!
Thank you so much AMON! :D
Thank you! I love it
Thank you so much! ^_^
I just finished playing your game — the storyline is really engaging, and the jumpscares along with the ghost girl's design are quite terrifying 😁
Thank you so much! 💯❤️
YouTube notified me that I got a copyright claim for the song used in the game’s ending. The song is called “Pilipinas Kaibigang Puno.” How can I resolve this issue?
You can mute that part. Currently working on an update on it. Apparently, even it copyrights it becausr of the instrumental that the composer did but the artist himself didn't have any problems.
Thx to Dev for making such a great game... I really enjoyed playing
Thank you so much dehar! :D
Thank you so much mysticblazee! :D

Good Game, With a Good Message
Thank you ARTIE1626! :D
What a great experience for just the demo. I’m stoked for the full release and will definitely be playing it. There needs to be more Filipino horror games, especially with the voice acting. That’s going to be so awesome. 10/10!
Thank you so much dee! :D

Hello, if you are planning on adding translation to your game, i would like to help with Turkish!
Hi AlperenDragon! As of the moment, I'm not planning to add translations to my game yet, but I'll message you once I need it. Thanks for the offer! ^_^
Thank you so much Travis! I appreciate it :D
Masterfully executed sequences with a dim atmosphere and haunting end sequence - superb demo!
Full disclosure, I got this game for free and I really want to thank the developer first. As a game creator, I do understand how hard it is to market your game and I'm glad to be part of this. The demo is amazing, can't say more. A must play for this year and definitely on a look out for a full version.
Best of luck with this Murushii!
Thank you Niven for the feedback, I appreciate it 😊
I completely agree – the atmosphere was dim and the ending was chilling! The demo does a great job of building tension. Can’t wait for the full release and to support the dev further.
