Breadwinner: Become the eldest sibling who earns $6 salaries from the universe to sustain your family until Christmas.
This browser game by Mithika Games for the Philippine Horror Game Jam 2026 tackles real-life poverty's frightening weight. Instead of fighting monsters, you're just trying to survive from the 15th to the 30th of the month, battling inflation, predatory debts, and the emotional toll of supporting your family.
The survival of the fittest isn't reliant on how much a bill is, so be merciless with your priorities. Nanay's medicine is a must-pay and not to be skipped. They can delay rent for a month, but they send a late payment letter to your mailbox. Missing the electric bill will leave your home mostly in the dark during a family feud. First, you have to worry about your food supply as the price of rice goes through the roof (55 > 62).
PeraAgad Pop-up loan apps: When you're short on cash, yet the rate will devour your budget (transform a loan into a shocking fee as of 15 December). The more you obey, the more Tatay gives you money. Running out of time is as bad as running out of money; you can only speak to one or two relatives per night. You have to choose and not pick one, and frequently it is the quietest family members that need the attention the most.
There's no perfect money solution—and that's the point. Breadwinner will have you making hard choices, and it encourages several playthroughs to discover how your family's fate changes if you switch up your priorities. Do you have what it takes to make it until Christmas?
