About this game

Game Concept

An old childhood game. A new pair of ears, and a different stake on the line.

Dò Dẫm (Pitter-Patter) is a sound-based game inspired by Vietnamese childhood games and ghost stories, set in the rural Mekong Delta (miền Tây) of southern Vietnam.

One evening, Khang and his two friends are playing Bịt Mắt Bắt Dê (Blind Man's Bluff) in their front yard. The game takes an unexpected turn when Khang catches someone who isn't one of his friends. The stranger turns out to be a mischievous child spirit, who takes Khang to a rice field and insists that he play another round with his ghostly friends.

The rules may be familiar, but not everyone in the field is friendly. Among the children spirits are dangerous adult spirits that Khang must avoid. With sound as his only guide, he must distinguish between them, catch the right ones, and complete the game to go home.

Combining the familiar atmosphere of rural Vietnamese childhood with an unexpected horror twist, Dò Dẫm reimagines a traditional game where any sound cue could lead you to a friend or something far less friendly.
