Panggung vs Rimba
What is the difference between these two paths?
No, Panggung and Rimba are not new episodes, they’re just a part of the same episode (which is called A Mother’s Wish) , but offers you two different journeys to experience. But make no mistake, your journey is still based on one objective
So, what sets the Pangung Path and the Rimba path apart?
The Rimba Path
The Other-Worldly Forest Beckons
Set in the eerie forests that surround the academy, Rimba feels more primal and unsettling. You’re not just walking through haunted halls—you’re trespassing on ancient grounds. Sudden, jarring sounds pierce the silence, and a forest creature awakens, angered by your presence.
But to counter said creatures, you will be exposed to cultural elements such as Mak Yong and Kuda Kepang surface, with the latter’s dance acting as a spiritual shield.Here as well, you will be able to learn more about your missing mother’s enemies, and how they may or may not have something to do with her disappearance.
One of the most gripping moments? You’ll learn a spell that can bring life back to the dead—but at what cost?
The Panggung Path
Dancing With The Shadows Of The Studio
Panggung itself is a more controlled and intense path : set inside the academy’s hauntingly quiet dance studio, it is more stoic and mysterious in its atmosphere.
Here, you will be able to learn more about your mother’s background and past, revealing secrets she kept hidden from you for many years.
The path is steeped in rich traditions like Wayang Kulit, Mak Yong, and Kuda Kepang. It can be seen in both the performances that you witness, as well as the unique yet nostalgic decor and atmosphere of the studio
Instead of raising the dead, this path focuses on unlocking your own inner flame through a mystical initiation spell.
Though there may be these differences in the path, make no mistake that your objective at Hauntu the Curve stays the same, which is to find out what happened to your missing mother. No matter which path you choose at Hauntu The Curve—Panggung or Rimba—you’re stepping into a meticulously crafted world that blurs the line between reality and legend. While the final outcome remains the same, your experience will be drastically different. So the real question is: Which path will you take?
