Huntsman

Description

Huntsman drops players into a forest realm with minimal HUDs or guidance. It’s a stealth-survival game driven by environmental awareness, sound design, and predator-prey mechanics. You are not alone, and every movement may draw the Huntsman’s attention.

Predator Stalking You

The core gameplay involves evading a relentless entity known as the Huntsman. The player must complete a series of survival tasks while being followed and occasionally ambushed. The less noise and light you generate, the safer you’ll be.

• Sound-based detection: Every step, interaction, or item drop makes sound.
• Visual concealment: Stay hidden using terrain shadows and foliage cover.
• Environmental puzzles: Unlock escape paths by solving natural riddles before the Huntsman catches up.

Tools for Survival

While the player starts with no weapons, several tools become available for misdirection or temporary safety. These tools are finite and choosing when to use them is vital.

1. Flares that can be thrown to distract or blind the Huntsman for seconds.
2. Wind chimes that attract him to a distant location.
3. Safe zones that require finding hidden totems to activate.

Understanding the Huntsman

The game subtly reveals the lore of the Huntsman through carvings, whispers, and brief glimpses of old camps. Knowing more about the Huntsman may help you predict his behavior or find ways to delay his approach.

Huntsman turns the forest into a living trap. The balance between stealth and speed becomes more difficult as players near the end. It’s not about fighting, but about surviving through patience, misdirection, and sharp awareness of the world around you.
