Step into the role of a young pregnant woman confronting the Penanggalan, a flying head vampire from Malaysian and Indonesian folklore, in this short indie horror walking simulator. Playtime runs 20-30 minutes as you navigate an atmospheric apartment building, hold text-based conversations with characters, and face jump scares in a deliberately slow-paced setup. A toggleable VHS filter adds a retro CRT screen vibe, mimicking old 80s Indonesian horror films, while autosaves hit at key moments-headphones sharpen the tension.
This casual adventure suits fans of dialogue-driven exploration over fast action. The immersive environment draws from real South East Asian locations and beliefs, delivering horror through paced discovery rather than combat.
The Night Of The Penanggalan is a short (20-30 minutes) "Walking Simulator" 3D horror game, where you play as a young pregnant woman coming face to face with a night creature believed to exist in the lands of South East Asia... The Penanggalan (Flying Head Vampire)!
