Te Ono O Te Tiki – The Curse of the Tiki

As our world races toward technological progress, the legends and traditions of my homeland begin to fade. Determined to preserve them, I pour my heart into a VR game that retraces the stories and spirit of my culture. After countless hours of work, the project is finally coming together. But tonight, as I slip on the headset for one final test, something goes wrong. I awaken inside the game—fully immersed, but something feels off. The world I built looks familiar, yet twisted. Glitches lurk in the form of cursed Tikis, and strange creatures stalk the shadows. 

Teiva is a young programmer trying to create a virtual reality game that brings the legends of his island to life. But after launching a playtest through his VR headset, he finds himself trapped inside his own creation — and that’s where everything begins. Caught between fear and uncertainty, Teiva has no choice but to confront the legends of his ancestors in order to escape the game. Will he succeed? Or is everything just an illusion?
You play as Teiva. To escape, you must hunt down and destroy the corrupted Tikis—manifestations of bugs and broken code—while evading the threats hiding in your once-beautiful world.Debug the system or be lost in it—can you survive your own broken reality?


Gameplay Mechanics Explanation:

Game Objective: The goal is to find and destroy five Tikis, which are the keys to your salvation. But beware of losing yourself in the darkness, for it is when night falls that the shadows rise…

Assistance: Throughout the game, you will need to collect items that will help you navigate, protect yourself, and find your way through this chaotic world.

Obstacles: Strange phenomenons occur in the darkness. Corrupted by a virus, these entities must not touch you. Be very careful not to get too close… unless you want to vanish into oblivion.

Gameplay Loop:

Moment-to-Moment Loop: Observe → Explore → Collect → Escape → Destroy. Short / Mid / Long-Term
Objectives: These are short- and mid-term goals that depend on the player’s approach. This gives a sense of freedom through exploration while keeping the player focused on collectibles and threats.
