Kwentuko Studios’ mission is to create games aimed at deepening young Filipinos’ interest in Filipino classical literature. In creating Kwentuko, we aim to achieve that goal by faithfully adapting classical Filipino novels into a visual novel format, which will also offer them an alternative way to experience these stories in a more engaging, visual way.
The studios’ vision is to continue building a library of Filipino classical stories within our game, with each new game update offering a newly adapted version of a Filipino classical story. We hope that by continuing to build on this we are able to offer a wealth of Filipino classical stories free for young Filipinos to play!
The Kwentuko Studios team is composed of four Multimedia Arts students named Marie, Ishi, Rominne, and Lexie! As MMA students, they all share an appreciation for all forms of art – most notably literature. The project was started as an earnest collective effort to create something young Filipinos can make use of as another way to engage with their own country’s literature.
With a love of games, literature, art, mixed with the skills learned from their course, the team is passionate about creating a project that can bring more focus on Philippine classical literary works!
