StoryTale Studios Announces Release Date For New Horror Game “Pamali”

According to recent press release, Playism is proud to announce that in partnership with StoryTale Studios we will be releasing Pamali on Steam this December 28th.

Pamali: More Than Just a Horror Game

StoryTale Studios will be releasing the first folklore-based story for its long-awaited Indonesian horror game, Pamali: Indonesian Folklore Horror – The White Lady. 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.

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.”

This release 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.
