PSS: Mangmankit

I don't have anything to lose anymore.

Ellaine Hajer lost everything. Her career, her family, her love.
Going home from visiting her family's grave, her feet brought her to a very nostalgic place. The spot she always hangs around when she was little -- a river with an old Balete tree. People in their province regard it as a scary place to go to, but Ellaine thinks otherwise since she feels at home when she stays there as a child. It was then some strange fellow appeared and offered to help her start anew.

The whole game is written in English, voiced in Filipino.

FAQ:

1. What is Mangmankit?
          - They are spirits of trees. Anitos that are almost forgotten in our culture.

2. What is the setting of the game?
          - It's around 90's so the story might be a little unfamiliar with the current generation, as I added few elements in the 90's internet like MUD's.

3. Inspirations on the stories?
          - I remember that Ellaine is inspired by F9 (Utaite) since I fell in love with her voice singing Jellyfish. The song is about a person who feels like a Jellyfish letting herself being drifted by fate, the same genre of this story. I feel a little old sharing this. As for Ciela, I am still digging my old memories where I inspired her from.  I play Jellyfish in loop while coding this.

4. Expected release?
          - I want to release it in November 2024 since I want to dedicate this story to my mom and dad, and November is their birthday. This will be the last game this year that I will release after Rewound 101 and AWWB. I hope people like the story, I've poured my soul in writing.

5. Why decided to pick this old project?
          - Like a jellyfish I was also drifting over these years. Doesn't know what I really want to do. I found another motivation to continue this, I don't really want to abandon this project since I really like the plot. I still remember the plot like yesterday.
