About the game
Set in Madagascar in 1942, Hiboka is a single-player third-person survival horror game that tells a moving tale of grief, love, and deception. The game features two main playable characters: Alexandre Leblanc, a wealthy teenage boy grieving the loss of his mother, and Ramala Fifaliana, a Malagasy girl whom Alexandre encounters during his search to find the entrance to Hiboka, the spirit underworld of Malagasy folklore.
Trapped in the cursed Sanatry Mansion in the deep woods of Madagascar, you first play through the story as Alexandre and then replay the events from Ramala’s perspective. Making decisions as Alexandre will affect the outcome of your playthrough with Ramala.
Key characteristics:
- A beautiful story of intrigue and horror based on folklore from Madagascar.
- A unique real time decision system that affects both main characters through their respective timelines.
- Play as Alexandre and then as Ramala in perfect synchronization in order to uncover the truth behind the Sanatry Mansion.
