Maiba Taya Announced As 1990s Filipino Childhood Sim For PC
The pitch is narrow on purpose: one country, one decade, one shared memory, and the multiplayer modes are built from specific street games rather than a generic party-game template, which is where its audience either recognizes itself or does not.

Neuroticfly Games announced Maiba Taya, a Filipino childhood simulation PvP action game in development at SolitaryStudios for PC via Steam. Set in the Philippines of the 1990s, it supports 3 to 5 players in co-op and PvP multiplayer, with some game modes supporting up to 12 players. The trailer shows slingshot hide-and-seek, street basketball free-throw showdowns and ice cream throwing fights. Cosmetic items, a level-up system and online leaderboards are planned.
The trailer leans on specific street games rather than abstract minigames. Hide-and-seek lets a player pelt discovered friends with slingshot pellets, and there are free-throw showdowns on a street basketball court and ice cream throwing fights.
Around those modes sit the progression hooks: cosmetic items unlocked from match results, a level-up system and online leaderboards. Some game modes take up to 12 players, above the 3 to 5 player co-op and PvP baseline. Solo play is not mentioned; the game is in development for PC (Steam).
