About

David Lagani is an ordinary Filipino worker whose quiet life turns to dread when a mysterious figure begins breaking into homes and making people disappear. Each night feels longer, every sound closer, and all he can do is pray the footsteps don’t reach his door.

David Lagani is just an ordinary Filipino worker trying to get by. But when news spreads of a figure breaking into homes and making people disappear, his routine turns to dread.

Every night feels longer. Every sound feels closer. And all David can do is pray the footsteps don’t stop at his door.

Taguan comes from the Filipino word Tago,* which means to hide. *In English, it can translate to **Hiding **and is also the term used for the childhood game Hide and Seek.
