It’s weird, it’s fast, and it’s surprisingly addictive.

The Story: A Midnight Run Through Liminal Space

You play as Budi, a local village youth tasked with the sacred (and loud) duty of Saur—waking up the neighbors for their pre-dawn meal. But something went wrong. While banging his traditional bamboo slit drum (Tung Tung) and riding his prized racing chicken, Budi took a wrong turn through a patch of "yellow mist" behind the village mosque.

Suddenly, the humid night air turned into the smell of wet carpet and fluorescent hums. He’s no longer in the village; he’s in Level 0 of the Backrooms. However, the entities lurking in these halls aren’t used to the noise. Budi realizes that the rhythmic Tung Tung of his drum is the only thing keeping the shadow monsters at bay. Now, he must navigate the infinite yellow corridors on the back of his hyperactive chicken, waking up the "lost souls" of the Backrooms before the sun—which doesn't exist here—rises.

How To Play: Master the Rhythm of Survival

This isn't your typical endless runner. It’s a hybrid of rhythm-action and survival horror.

• The Movement: Your chicken moves forward automatically. Use the Arrow Keys or WASD to lane-shift and avoid clipping into "glitched" walls that will reset your progress.
• The Beat (Tung Tung Mechanic): You must tap the Spacebar in time with the rhythmic bar at the bottom of the screen. Successful hits emit a sonic wave from your drum that stuns nearby entities like the "Bacteria" or "Smilers."
• Energy Management: Your chicken runs on Grain Energy. Collect golden corn kernels scattered in the hallways to keep your speed up. If your energy hits zero, you’re sitting ducks for the entities.
• The Sahur Shout: Once your "Spirit Meter" is full, press 'E' to trigger a massive Sahur shout. This clears all obstacles on screen and provides a 5-second speed boost.

Pro Tip: Listen to the audio cues! The hum of the lights changes pitch when a secret exit (a "No-Clip" zone) is nearby. Finding these allows you to skip levels and earn massive bonus points.
