Horror is different for everyone. One might think it’s a one-time thing, while the other might think that it is filled with monsters. In Pamali, horror is shaped by the taboos and culture that live among the society itself. Pamali pushes horror that is created by Indonesian folklores, with four stories that depict everyday lives of Indonesian people. Experience authentic Indonesian ghosts such as Kuntilanak, Pocong, Tuyul, and Leak.

Based on the belief that horror should not be always about big, catastrophic tragedy and can be done just as effectively when set close to everyday life, Pamali incorporates authentic Indonesian day-to-day activities, cultural phenomena, myths, and taboos which shape the horror itself.

The game also gives the players opportunity to define their own game experience based on the choices they make during Pamali gameplay.

StoryTale Studios’ Mira Wardhaningsih explains: “We noticed that different people perceive horror in different ways. For example, zombies are very frightening for some people, but for others, it’s just a walking body.” She then added, “Pamali was created to provide a glimpse into how horror is perceived in Indonesia. We want to introduce Indonesian horror, which is shaped by the culture of the people themselves, from their traditional taboos and folklore. As we believe traditional Indonesian horror shouldn’t be Westernized, Pamali strives to provide players with the authentic Indonesian horror experience.”

Pamali: Indonesian Folklore Horror includes the first folklore-based story of the game, entitled The White Lady, while the other three stories (entitled The Tied Corpse, The Little Devil, and The Hungry Witch, respectively) will be released as separate DLC throughout 2019.

In The White Lady, the player will venture through an abandoned Indonesian residence as Jaka, who has just returned to his hometown to sell his old family home.
