Inspired by the local Javanese myth about a person practicing black magic
'Babi Ngepet' Game is inspired by local Javanese myth about a person practicing black magic which allow themselves to be miraculously transformed into a pig for a period of time. This kind of magic is believed to help people become rich instantly.
After the transformation, the boar demon roams around the village, looking for the treasures. The belongings of the villagers, such as money, gold, and jewellery will disappear and magically carried away by the Babi Ngepet.
The person that practices Babi Ngepet black magic needs assistance from another person. In this game you act as the assistant whose task is to stay home and guard the lit candle, while the Babi Ngepet is in action. Because of this belief, the villagers often chase or even kill any pig wandering around the village at night.
If the mission was successful, when the Babi Ngepet safely returns home and transforms back into human form, the black robes will be filled with the stolen money or jewellery.
