What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We decided to go with Early Access to get the players involved in the development. Players of hunting game genre are very passionate, so getting feedback early will allow us to make the best game possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Predicting game development times is really difficult but we aim to release the game as soon as possible. We have a clear development roadmap but the actual release time depends on the development, features and content we get to make.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will have more animals, weapons, items, features and any reasonable content suggested by the community. Optimizing performance will also be a top priority.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game currently features:

* A massive 64km2 / 24.7mi2 open world map based in Bulgaria, Europe
* Six species: red deer, fallow deer, wild boar, pheasants, red fox and European hare
* Each species has a unique behavior, making them interesting and rewarding to hunt
* Almost endless replay value with fresh spawn of animals for each hunt. You never know what you'll find!
* Several rare fur types for all species
* Several different trophy tier for each species
* Full day night cycle with dynamic weather system that affects the animals behavior
* .303 & .223 rifles, recurve bow with different arrows, 12GA O/U shotgun with different shells and .44 magnum handgun
* Callers for each species and other equipment like rangefinder and backpack
* Customizable stabilization system that ensures accurate shots, even at longer ranges!
* Realistic weapon handling and ballistics
* Shooting range and 3D archery range
* Massive trophy lodge with freely placeable trophy mounts
* Playable in seated, standing and room scale
* And much more”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game will be cheaper during early access than full version. However, the price might go up as we add more features and content to the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community will be directly involved in the development and can provide us feedback, suggestions and bug reports in Steam forums and our Discord server. We are more than happy to hear from our players and make the game better together.”

About This Game

Prepare for a hunting experience of a lifetime. Virtual Hunter brings realistic hunting to virtual reality. The game offers a large, open hunting ground where you will find animals such as the majestic red deer, the elusive European hare, wild boar and fallow deer roaming freely in the wilderness. So pack your gear, master the realistic weapon handling and ballistics at the range and then head out into the open wilderness!

Your hunt

Select your weapons, pack your other essential equipment, set the time and then step out into the wilderness. Track animals, use hunting towers or follow your intuition and see what you find. How you decide to hunt is totally up to you! Each hunt is always a new adventure and seeing as you get a fresh spawn of animals each time, a new challenge!

Steady your aim

With our weapon stabilization system, you can make very accurate shots, even at longer distances. Taking a clean shot is important, the animal will go down faster and save you a long tracking job!

Unique wildlife

Each animal has their own unique behavior, making them challenging and interesting to hunt. With their senses they can see, smell and hear you so approach with caution. Big trophy animals have keener senses, making them much harder but also more rewarding to hunt. Using the right weapon or ammo will give you full integrity and better rewards.

Taxidermy and trophy mounts

Virtual Hunter includes a one of a kind trophy mount system, where players can freely place their taxidermied trophies around the lodge! You can choose different wall mounts, full body mounts and table mounts for small game. Each animal has several different poses to choose from. Do you want to place your highest scoring red deer over the fireplace or by the door? The choice is yours!

Show your trophies

You can unlock different trophy statues by taking down big animals with the correct weapon or ammo type. There are four different trophy ranks for every animal and each animal has different fur types. These trophies will even keep track of your personal best!

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

It's a hunting game where you shoot animals and they leave blood splatters on the ground. Taxidermized animals are placed and displayed in the lodge.
