1896.
The Spanish Empire holds the Philippines in a bloody grip of fear.
Elias Sagrado was never meant to fight.

Armed with close-combat doctrine and prototype weapons, he infiltrates strongholds, disables commanders, and dismantles the empire piece by piece.
Set in a steampunk-infused Spanish-era Philippines, HAUNTBORN blends tactical espionage, historical fiction, and psychological warfare.
For fans of Ghost of Tsushima and Metal Gear Solid.

What Survived Beyond 1897?
It is 1942, and Manila lies under Japanese occupation. A single torn page from a mysterious ledger pulls Kenjiro into a dangerous hunt through the city's war-torn streets - a trail of whispers leading to Kuta Malaya, a hidden stronghold in the heart of Tondo, ruled by rogue soldiers and unseen hands. But every step closer brings more questions than answers. Who is the shadow that stalks him through the marketplaces of Binondo? What secret is worth killing for inside Kuta Malaya's guarded walls? And why does the name "Kazumichi Matsuda" burn like an old wound that refuses to heal? As alliances fracture and ambition turns brothers-in-arms into executioners, Kenjiro finds himself caught between two deadly masters: the ruthless General obsessed with an immortal legacy, and the elusive Iñigo - a ghost from the past whose name is spoken in defiance and fear. The deeper Kenjiro delves, the more the war becomes a mirror of himself - forcing him to choose between survival, truth, and the thin line of honor he still clings to. From the alleys of Intramuros to the shadows of Kuta Malaya, What Survived Beyond 1897 is a tale of loyalty and betrayal, of weapons both steel and silent, and of the quiet battles fought long after the gunfire fades.
