This project explores the use of interactive storytelling to preserve and promote Sarawak’s Melanau folklore through the development of a visual narrative game titled The Cruel of King Tugau. Rooted in historical and cultural narratives, the game centers on the servant Tegiok’s perspective, navigating themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and tyranny under King Tugau’s rule. By combining traditional folklore with modern game mechanics, the project aims to foster cultural awareness and moral reflection among youth audiences. The game offers players agency through branching narrative paths, transforming historical storytelling into an engaging, educational experience. Ultimately, the project aspires to contribute to the preservation of intangible cultural heritage through digital media.
