About The Hunt

The name says it all - in The Hunt, you get, well, hunted by hunters who will stop at nothing to wipe you off the face of the earth. In order to survive, you must explore the land, scavenge materials, loot buildings, make/find weapons and fend off the hunters. And if you survive and scavenge for long enough, there might just be a way to escape.

You can:
- Move around and fight in a first-person perspective
- Explore an expansive world with many different buildings, structures, and trees.
- Build and break any object in the environment, such as buildings and trees
- Collect resources by harvesting trees/buildings or looting chests scattered across the map
- Find and craft a variety of items and weapons
- Engage in fast-paced combat against the hunters
- Collect weapons and tools with different qualities, ranging from wood to diamond
- Operate a forge that requires fuel to craft higher quality items
- Escape the forest in two different ways, each requiring a different method and materials, covered in the tutorial.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
