Sa Akin ‘To!

A Hypernarrative Project for the Competitive Creative

Navigate your way through the busy ecosystem of an ad agency in the Philippines.

Work on groundbreaking ideas with your talented officemates.

With career-defining opportunities up for grabs, it’s time to prove you're the best.




A: Huy, ang ganda naman ‘yan ah! 🤩

      Hey, that looks great!

B: Diba? Siya gumawa niyan~ 😏

      Right? They’re the ones who made it~


Diskarte Lamang. Work hard, work through, and work with a quirky group of talents at your dream ad agency in the Philippines. Three interesting episodes await you with 5-10 minutes of gameplay per episode. Surprises await at the end of the hypernarrative, so keep an eye out for what might trigger them!

‘Yan Ang Pakikisama. Navigate the secret language and dynamics of your officemates with over 1,000 lines of words to read and interact with! In between dialogue and choice-making, enjoy an interesting narrative tone brought in with Taglish writing– a unique lingua franca from the Philippines.

i thought this was gonna be a fun silly simulation game because of the art style and design but it turned out to be something even better. i'm a 2nd year MMA student in the ph and playing this game and then experiencing the plot twist really made me pause and think about things for a moment. i also love that you didn't just leave the player hanging to think about their actions in the end of the game, instead, you provided an educational website. addressing the "diskarte lamang" mindset/culture and how it plays into the harms of the ph creative industry and how young filipino creatives engage with IP really made me want to learn and read more about your paper. anyway good luck with your project!!!!
