What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our goal is to build the most authentic waterfowl hunting simulator possible—one that resonates with both seasoned hunters and fans of realistic sims. Early Access lets us work directly with our community to field-test mechanics, fine-tune bird AI, ballistics, and environmental systems, and steadily expand the game with new species and regions.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning two major field expeditions across Yakutia, each focused on different groups of waterfowl. During these trips, we will study bird behavior firsthand and capture high-fidelity audio for the game. While the exact timeline depends on the funding and outcome of these expeditions, we currently aim to complete core development and leave Early Access in 2026.”

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

“- An expanded firearm arsenal with interchangeable chokes and specialized ammunition;
- New field gear to support different hunting styles;
- More species of waterfowl and upland game birds;
- A new 'Contracts' game mode;
- An upgraded hunter's lodge and camp features;
- A clay and target shooting range for practice;
- Three large new regions featuring seasonal changes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build features the core mechanics needed for a true-to-life hunting experience:
- Two game modes: Free Hunt and Wager;
- An in-game economy and hunter reputation system;
- Multiple duck and grouse species, including diving ducks;
- Our proprietary LPI decoy placement algorithm, simulating real-world environmental factors;
- Traditional mouth calls with a unique note-based calling mechanic;
- A boat that can be rowed across water and hauled over land.
We are actively refining the simulator, adding new game birds, expanding the gear list, and polishing the environments. BULT already captures the atmosphere of a real hunt, and every update brings it closer to our full vision.”

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

“Yes, we plan to gradually increase the price as we introduce major new content and features throughout Early Access.”

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

“We maintain an active dialogue with our players on Steam, Discord, and social media. We encourage the community to share feedback, suggest mechanics, and vote on development priorities. Your input is essential in helping us make BULT as authentic and engaging as possible.”

About This Game

THE HUNT STARTS LONG BEFORE THE SHOT

BULT is a hunting simulator where the shot is only one part of the hunt. Made by hunters, the game is grounded in knowledge gathered during real hunts in Yakutia.

Good aim isn't enough here. Choose your spot, set up your blind, place your decoys and pick the right call. Pay attention to the wind, weather, time of day, and how well you’re concealed. A flock may come straight in, change direction, or flare at the last second. It all depends on your preparation and the conditions around you.

BIRDS, NOT TARGETS

Waterfowl and upland birds in BULT are powered by Bayanay AI, named after the Yakut forest spirit and patron of hunters.

Birds do not follow a fixed route. Flocks actively search for feeding grounds, alter their flight paths, and respond dynamically to changing weather and player presence. Study their habits to know when to stay still, when to relocate, and when to lay off the call.

Watch. Listen. Adapt.

BLINDS, DECOYS AND CALLS

Load up with the right shotgun, shells, camo, and boat for the job. Pick a promising location, brush in your blind, and arrange your decoys to draw passing flocks into range. Good calling will turn heads, but it won't fix a bad setup.

Fieldcraft matters far more than fast reflexes.

LISTEN TO THE WILDS

Every bird vocalization in BULT was recorded in the field by the developers during real expeditions, not pulled from a stock sound library. Audio here isn't just for immersion: you can pinpoint a bird's direction and distance entirely by ear long before you spot it in the sky.

Just remember that birds have sharp ears, too. One careless splash or heavy step will give you away before the flock ever comes into view.

A WOUNDED BIRD WON'T WAIT

Distance, shot size, and lead all determine the outcome of your shot. Misjudge the range or rush your timing, and you risk missing clean—or worse, only wounding the bird. A crippled duck will dive, swim away, or vanish into thick reeds, forcing you to act fast to recover your harvest.

THE WILDS OF YAKUTIA, SIBERIA

Explore misty marshes, sprawling lakeshores, and rugged hunting grounds inspired by the untamed nature of Yakutia. Dynamic weather and lighting constantly shift visibility, flight patterns, and shooting conditions.

Out here, you have to account for everything — right down to the mosquitoes.  Forget your bug spray, and their relentless buzz will quickly drown out the sound of approaching wings.

NOT EVERY BIRD IS FAIR GAME

Several species in the region are strictly protected. Learn to identify birds on the wing before you take the shot: harvesting a protected species will cost you your hunter reputation.

Know your target.

EARLY ACCESS: WHY PLAY NOW
