Agni: Village of Calamity, Indonesian Horror Game in Silent Hill Style Ready to Penetrate the World!

 

 

Cinematic horror game made by Indonesian studio Separuh Interactive, 

Agni: Village of Calamity, presents classic Silent Hill-style terror 

with local cultural nuances. Supported by Xbox and Game Pass, 

ready to go global!

Separuh Interactive, an Indonesian game studio, has finally showcased 

their new game titled Agni, Village of Calamity!

Full of local cultural values, this cinematic horror game combines

Indonesian folklore with modern supernatural elements guaranteed 

to scare many gamers.

"Agni, Village of Calamity tells the story of a police investigator 

named Agni who goes against orders to investigate a mysterious city

full of secrets," Leo Avero, Chef. Separuh Interactive explained 

to the media.

Unlike other modern horror games, Agni presents an immersive 

experience with the use of a fixed camera in the style of classic 

horror films, inspired by the legendary game Silent Hill and the 

surreal works of David Lynch. 

"Over 90 percent of the cutscenes are motion captured, including 

the characters' facial expressions and lip movements,

" Leo explained. "We wanted players to really feel the cinematic 

atmosphere and psychological pressure of classic horror, 

but with a strong local touch." 

Not only does it stand out technically, the Agni game also 

boasts Indonesian culture by inserting characters from folk 

tales such as Semar, Petruk, and Gareng, in a fictional 

narrative framed like a supernatural organization similar 

to SCP or Hellboy's workplace. 

Leo also explained, "the game provides an exploration 

system and branching endings, allowing gamers to have 

different experiences depending on their choices and 

level of exploration."

Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia, has a wealth of 

horror stories that have not been widely explored in 

the global gaming industry. This is what 

Separuh Interactive is trying to bring up.

Jun Shen Chia, Xbox Global Expansion Lead for 

Southeast Asia, expressed his admiration for Agni, 

calling it a “strong representation of Southeast Asian 

storytelling” and hopes the game can reach a global 

audience through the Xbox platform. 

With support from the ID@Xbox program and potential 

distribution through Game Pass, Agni, Village of Calamity 

is more than just your average horror game.

For fans of horror games such as Silent Hill and Resident Evil, 

this game can be a window for the world to get to know typical 

Indonesian horror that is rich in meaning, scary, 

but still artistically beautiful.

Sapara Interactive proves that local Indonesian games 

are now not only talked about at home—but are also 

ready to appear on the world stage.
