Agawan Base: Secret Technique

About the Game

The playground game that should have been a world sport. You're the coach.

Agawan Base is a narrative sports simulator set in the Philippines, where a beloved street game has become a fiercely competitive national league. You don't play — you coach. Your authority lives in the preparation: the lineup you build, the players you recruit, the bond you earn from each of them before Saturday's match.

A season with stakes

Seven years ago, the country's most prestigious athletic program broke your brother — the best player anyone had ever seen. You buried it. You moved home to Los Bañós, took a teaching job, and started coaching the school team in the afternoons because it was the only thing that made him smile.

Then a recruiter showed up for one of your kids. From that same university.

What begins as a single wager match becomes a season-long return — for you, for your brother, and for the buried truth of what the alumni system has been doing to provincial kids for decades.

The Freshness Tension

Agawan Base runs on a rule most players have never encountered: the player who left base earlier is the vulnerable one. The longer you're out, the more opponents can tag you. Every push forward is a ticking clock. Tag up and reset, or advance and risk it — this tension is what turns a playground game into a strategic sport.

Build your roster. Call your plays.

• Scout overlooked players across the Philippines and recruit them across an 8-chapter season

• Set your formation, activate abilities during live matches, and watch your decisions play out

• Deepen bonds with your players through weekly activities — or spend the time on match prep. You can't do everything.

• Face nine rival teams, each with a distinct identity and playstyle

A Filipino story, told specifically

Characters carry Filipino names. Abilities are called in Tagalog. The season is structured as a String of Pearls — eight chapters, eight cities, a journey across the archipelago. The tone is warm, neighborhood-rooted, and proud. This is Agawan Base's love letter to where it came from.
