Abstract
The diverse culture and wealth of Indonesian traditional folklore provides a multitude of characters and visual
references to inspire modern storytelling through digital games. This project explores the possibility of developing a
narrative and characters based on Indonesian traditional folklore and mythology to implement within a digital game.
The novelty of characters and plot never seen before in contemporary games, combined with the current popular
trend of immersive horror gameplay, should provide emotional engagement that increases players’ retention to the
game contents, providing a platform for communicating Indonesian culture within a global environment.
