About This Demo

Cursed to become the very beast that you have hunted. Will you become the next folktale to be written in the books for the Library of Lost Tales or will you take the Afterlife Scribe’s offer to hunt down escaped folktale beasts to trade for your life back from before the curse?

When the hunter becomes the hunted...

Hunt for the Lost Folktales is a folklore hunting, turn-based battling, book collecting adventure where you follow pawprint and scent trails to track down folktale beasts escaping from their storybooks, engage in strategic turn-based combat where fear is your strength, and capture their lost tales to return to the Library so they may live on in memory. Will you be another folktale to be written or will you rewrite your own story?

This demo provides players a shortened experience for what the gameplay will be for getting hunt contracts, the investigation and tracking of folktale trails, strategic fear-stacking turn-based battles with these folktale creatures, collecting story scrolls and solving puzzles for Ink Stamps, returning books to the Library for rewards, and upgrading your party of folktales to enhance their skills and stats.

The average playtime for the demo's 2 hunt contracts is around 1 hour and is estimated to be around 2-2.5 hours for completing all battle encounters, collecting all story scrolls, ink stamps and folktale books.
