Sakto Lang is a 2D casual management game that follows the life cycle of a community pantry, progressing by the day. Its gameplay involves three main mechanics, namely listening to pantry visitors, unpacking goods, and packing requested food items, but also portrays in mini-games other aspects of managing a community pantry such as managing the queue and carrying heavy crates. The game’s plot, taking inspiration from the story of the Maginhawa Community Pantry, depicts society’s mixed reception of the community pantry phenomenon through mentions of community support and red-tagging. Ultimately, the game aims to allow players to simulate the experience of volunteering at a community pantry, highlighting the bayanihan spirit that it incited in the community and its role as a band-aid solution to food insecurity in the Philippines. It also aims to fill the gap in creative depictions of the community pantry phenomenon in the country.

The development of this game served as an undergraduate game design and development thesis.
