The Night
- Search houses for pesos, ammo, bandages and salt. Guns are never in houses: buy them at the store, or borrow one from Mang.
- You're safe inside a house: the search goes on while you're in, and the aswang lose you and wander off. Villagers you find follow you to the jeepney.
- An aswang pays ₱2, and everything pays more under a full moon.
- Every night has an objective, shown at the top: rescue villagers, search houses, kill aswang or find a lost item.
- The jeepney won't leave until it's done, and finishing it pays a bonus that grows every night. Lose the villagers you came for and it's just "Reach the jeepney", with no bonus.
- From night 2 you're sent somewhere new: rice fields, a fishing village, the town plaza or the cemetery. From night 3 a full moon, a brownout or rain can come too.
- Between nights, Tessie's store sells guns, ammo, bandages, a bulletproof vest and salt, tunes up your guns, and tells you where the next night is.
Monsters
- Aswang hunt the barrio every night. Shoot them before they reach you.
- If something new shows up, a hint tells you how to deal with it.
Villagers (while they follow you)
- Lola heals you 1 HP every 4 seconds.
- Mang lends you a gun you don't have yet, for that night only: he takes it back at the store. If you have every gun, he gives you pesos instead.
- Ate hands you one spare magazine a night, when your gun and its spare ammo are both empty.
- Kuya helps you search: houses pay half as many pesos again, and turn up extra ammo more often.
Tune Up
- At the store, each gun you own can be tuned up: Firepower, Reload Speed, Capacity and Rate of Fire, each in levels that cost more as they go.
