"Ikaw na lang maaasahan namin."

"You're the only one we can count on now."


You're the eldest and the only one with a salary. Six paydays until Christmas, and each one has to cover the rent, the electricity bill, Nanay's medicine, your sister's school fees, and a coloring book for Bunso, the youngest.

It's never enough for all of it, so every payday you choose what gets paid and what goes unpaid. Then you walk home and see what those choices did to your family.

Breadwinner is an everyday horror story happening all around us.


Features

  • Split each payday between the bills and the family.
  • Everyone remembers what you paid and what you refused.
  • Your family's letters at the end change with every choice.
  • Play in Filipino or English. Playtime about 10 to 20 minutes.
