This game was completed in 2015, released in 2016, and reuploaded in 2019.
It was presented as courtesy to then UP President Alfredo Pascual and UPDiliman Chancellor Michael Tan. It was received positively and they offered help by giving the developer access to archival material for accuracy.
This was also presented to Top Gear Philippines where it was also received positively.
This is the first of a series of gamification of education apps from Red Kamatis Virtual Studios, under the umbrella of Manggad.com.
This is an entry guide, campus familiarisation tool and promotional material for the prestigious University of the Philippines headfaked through gamification.
