Tungtung’s Nightmare

Tungtung’s Nightmare begins with a simple decision: ignore the early meal before fasting, or get up and prepare. The character chooses sleep, and that mistake becomes the focus of everything that follows. Inspired by an Indonesian meme, the game creates a situation where rest invites danger. As soon as the player returns to bed, the environment begins to shift. You wake to something unfamiliar. The chase begins not from outside, but from within your own space, and the only goal is to survive what you summoned by sleeping through sahur.

A Fast-Paced Escape 

At its core, Tungtung’s Nightmare is about being hunted. Movement becomes urgent, and players must react quickly to avoid capture. The game doesn’t rely on long narrative segments or complex puzzles—it's built around a chase mechanic that tests awareness and reflexes. Each attempt plays out slightly differently depending on how you move and where you run. If you’re quick, the nightmare ends soon. If you’re not, it loops. This structure encourages multiple tries and keeps the pacing tight.

Simple Rules With Cultural Roots 

The concept behind Tungtung’s Nightmare ties into a specific tradition, but the gameplay remains accessible. You don’t need to know the full context to understand the threat, but it adds meaning if you do. Missing sahur has consequences in real life, but in this case, it becomes the start of a surreal threat. The design turns a lighthearted meme into a game mechanic, using minimal space and clear objectives to create something fast and memorable.
