概要
Immerse yourself in a co-op focused action-survival horror experience where you act as a world-renowned hunter tracking supernatural beasts like the Wendigo and Mothman. Blend tactical FPS combat with resource management, trap placement, and disturbing puzzle-solving in deep, atmospheric environments where the hunter can quickly become the hunted.
ストーリー
Operating from the Hunter Fortress, you are contracted to eliminate ancient threats terrorizing remote locations, from the frozen wilderness of the Wendigo to the blood-soaked forests of the Strigoi. The narrative unfolds through Story Hunts that reveal dark secrets and offer critical choices—such as the decision to detain or free the Mothman—which can lead to unpredictable, telepathic consequences.
Gameplay
Gameplay combines the tension of survival horror with the mechanics of a tactical shooter. Utilize 'Hunter Senses' to detect tracks and clues, deploy strategic traps like bear traps and cameras, and manage scarce resources such as silver ammo and batteries while navigating psychosis-inducing environments.
