Checked 2026-10-06
What I checked
I lined the store pages up against six full Chapter 1 recordings before I wrote this guide. The itch.io page still says Windows only, version 1.0.6, and a 35 to 45 minute chapter. On the Kubz Scouts upload I watched Juan wash dishes, miss the phone code, and reach the hospital with the same ending line I later heard on the ItsDaKimchi upload.
The short version
MANDATO is a short first-person story by Nest Games, published by SolitaryStudios in Los Baños, Laguna. You play Juan, a bartender at Ligaya Lounge Bar, while his wife Mina reports on the mayor. There is no combat. The itch.io page lists English and Tagalog, Unity, and the line “No generative AI was used.”
On 2026-10-06 the itch.io price was $2.99, marked down 50 percent to $1.49 or more. The file offered after purchase is mandato-win.zip, listed at 1.1 GB. Steam app 4897340 still says the game is not yet available and the release date is to be announced.
What the store page does not answer
People searching the name usually want one of four things: a safe download, a phone password, a walkthrough, or a clear “is this on my phone?” The store page sells the build. It does not print the phone code, and it does not host an Android or browser build.
The four-digit code that eight public playthroughs use is 7205, taken from Mina’s ID left at the house. I wrote the steps on the phone password page, with the wrong codes those players tried first.

Questions
Can I play MANDATO in the browser?
No browser build is listed on the itch.io or Steam pages. Chapter 1 is a Windows download from itch.io.
How long is Chapter 1?
The itch.io and Steam descriptions both say about 35 to 45 minutes. The itch.io page also lists an average session of about an hour.
