Orang Minyak is a figure from Malay ghost mythology—a creature whose body is coated in oil so that anyone who tries to catch it cannot hold on. The game takes that myth as its starting point and complicates it: a minion was raised by the Devil himself to fulfill the role of Oily Man, but he does not want to do the terrible things the role demands. He wants out of the fate that was assigned to him. Whether escape is possible for someone built from darkness for a dark purpose is the question the game explores.
