Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Blue Ridge Hunting is planned to feature a five-chapter linear story mode, and an open-ended arcade freeplay mode. Early Access allows us to develop content for both modes with constant community feedback. We plan to release each story mode chapter episodically as they are made, with smaller freeplay mode content drops/patches in between. We want to hear feedback and suggestions from our community as we build content and iterate on the gameplay throughout the early access period.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are currently planning on around two-years in early access, with chapter releases occuring about every three to four months starting in 2027. This may fluctuate as the game grows and reaches later chapters.”

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

“The v1.0 release of Blue Ridge Hunting is planned to include all five chapters of the story mode, 15-20 cryptids, 10-20 maps, and additional items, upgrades, and mechanics.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the game contains freeplay mode with three cryptids and two maps. ”

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

“We plan to have a one-time price increase once all five story chapters of Blue Ridge Hunting have released and the game leaves early access.”

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

“We very much want to hear about player's experiences with the game. Your feedback will directly guide development moving forward. The Blue Ridge Hunting Discord server is the main location which feedback will be solicited from. Suggestions for new items, monsters, locations, etc. will all be considered.”

Roadmap

About This Game

The Appalachian Mountains have long been home to some of the most infamous cryptids, creatures, and folklore in America. In Blue Ridge Hunting, you'll team up with your friends to investigate, document, and hunt down these monsters. Explore large, open levels directly based on real-world locations, and come face-to-face with some of Appalachia's most feared beasts.

Step into the boots of the Appalachian Investigation Group, a team dedicated to tracking these elusive creatures. Using a range of tools and equipment, gather evidence, follow the clues, and embark on high-stakes hunts based on real sightings and local legends.

Earn money from successful investigations and upgrade your gear at Levi’s cabin to take on even greater threats. But beware: you're not alone out there. These creatures are always watching... and listening.

  • Found Footage: A gritty retro/PSX art style inspired by early 3D horror and analog media.

  • Always Listening: Creatures react to proximity voice chat and radio chatter. Communication is crucial, but dangerous.

  • Into the Woods, Solo or Together: Explore Appalachia alone or with up to 5 players in online co-op freeplay mode.

  • Southern Gothic Story: A narrative-driven story (1–3 players) following the Appalachian Investigation Group’s hunt for the Mothman.

  • Experience The Legends: Face unique, intelligent creatures based on real Appalachian legends and folklore.

  • Dark-Bluegrass Symphony: An original score by Joe McKenna and local Appalachian artists, blending haunting bluegrass melodies and Appalachian ambience.
