THE HUNT

You came to hunt. Something else came to hunt you.

The fire is warm. The trophies stare down from the walls. Three weapons wait on the table.

And beyond the lodge door lies a forest where something is waiting for you.

Welcome to THE HUNT — an interactive horror, survival, and hunting experience where you are the hunter... but never guaranteed to be the deadliest thing in the woods.

🐺 CHOOSE YOUR TARGET
Hunt real-world beasts, dangerous humans, or nightmares that shouldn't exist. Wolf, Tiger, Bear, Yeti, Xenomorph, Predator, or Cherry a Colonial Marine, — or invent your own target. You decide what you're hunting.

🏹 CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON
A bolt-action rifle. A crossbow. A recurve bow. Each hunt begins with your choice of weapon. Choose wisely. You may regret it later.

🌲 THE FOREST IS ALIVE
Every hunt takes place at night in the same dark, unforgiving forest. Your target knows you're coming. It may stalk you, track you, set an ambush, flee, or turn the tables and hunt YOU. But it doesn't automatically know where you are.

☠️ NO GUARANTEED VICTORY
Your decisions matter. You can outsmart your target, become the predator, escape with your life, or make one fatal mistake. You can win. You can lose. You can die. The outcome depends on what happens during the hunt — not plot armor.

👁️ EVERY HUNT IS DIFFERENT
Targets have their own appearances, intelligence, behaviors, strengths, and weaknesses. Animals behave like animals. Humans think and improvise. Monsters bring their own unnatural dangers. Your target's abilities remain consistent throughout the hunt.

HOW TO PLAY

1. Choose your target. Select: Wolf, Tiger, Bear, Yeti, Xenomorf, Predator, or Cherry. You can choose a familiar creature or create something entirely new.

2. Choose your weapon. Bolt-action rifle, crossbow, or recurve bow.

3. Enter the forest. The Director will send you on your way. Once the hunt begins, your target is already active.

4. Make your moves. Describe what you do in your own words. Track, sneak, listen, aim, hide, investigate, fight, or run. The world reacts to your decisions. The bot controls the target and the environment — YOU control your hunter.

5. Survive... if you can. Each hunt ends when its outcome is decided. Return to the lodge and prepare for another.

Want to start fresh? Type NEW HUNT or RESET to return to the lodge and begin again with a new target and weapon.

REMEMBER

The forest is always dark. Your target is always dangerous. And the Director never promises you'll come back.

Choose your target. Choose your weapon. Open the door.

Good luck, hunter. You're going to need it.

Type: Reset or New HUNT to restart the hunt.
