What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is still in active development, we are looking for community feedback to help the game reach its full potential. The game is very playable, but more content and bugfixes will be added during the early access period.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are in the final stages of early access, and plan to be out of early access in 2024.”

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

“The last big ticket item to be added to the game during early access is the Mothman story hunt. This will take Folklore Hunter to three story hunts in total, plus the metagame contract hunts.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All features listed in the "about this game" section are implemented and available in the current version of Folklore Hunter. These include:

Full multiplayer co-op support
Gathering resources / hidden caches
Minimap system
Cameras that can be placed and viewed through
Advanced hunting / tracking system
2 types of natural wildlife
Trapping / bait system
Two story hunts with custom cryptids.
Character progression.
Randomized contract missions.
Equipment shop and storage.

”

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

“We plan to increase the price a small amount after leaving early access. We will announce this ahead of time to the community to give them time to jump in at the current price!”

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

“We have a developer discord community that we stay active in. We also love feedback via the forums or reviews.”

About This Game

There are many locations to discover Folklore Hunter. From abandoned campsites, old watchtowers, cabins and even cave systems. You must survey the landscape to gain an upper hand in your hunts. You are free to explore in any direction you choose, sometimes it can be wise to diverge from the beaten path...

Traps and cameras are a vital part of a hunter's arsenals, it's up to you where, when and how you place these. After a camera has been placed you are able to access a global network and take control of any of the cameras. This will help you have eyes anywhere on the map, but be careful, you never know what might be looking at you on the other end...

Each hunt has its own fully handcrafted environment and story to tell. You will discover clues, follow maps, solve puzzles and survive harsh environments all while uncovering unspoken mysteries.

There are many locations to find and gather resources to help you hunt. You can find extra ammo, batteries, cameras, traps, meat and other items scattered throughout the world. You start with nothing and must equip yourself with the best gear you can find.

Only the greatest supernatural hunters will stand a chance of slaying the beast. Many have tried, many have failed. You will need to use all your stops to win this battle of wills. Hunt smart.

Take what you have learned, and what you have gathered and head back to the Fortress where you can unlock and purchase new gear to help you in the next hunt. Be careful though, if you die in a hunt, you don't always bring everything back...

Even after you have discovered all the creatures Folklore Hunter has to offer, there is always someone out there willing to hire you to put what you've learned to use! Take a contract from the notice board at the Fortress and complete a completely randomized hunt that will be different every time you take one.

Folklore hunter is intended to be shared with friends. The game has full multiplayer Co-op capabilities with an unlimited number of friends. Gather your hunting party, work together and strategize and unlock the secrets of the forest.
