About This Game

One position. One breath. One shot.

Hunters Trial: One Breath is a fixed-position, scope-only hunting game built around stillness and timing. You never walk and you never chase. Rooted to a single vantage point, you pan across the wild, read each animal, hold your breath to steady the crosshair, and squeeze off one clean shot at the perfect moment.

Heart, lungs, liver: every hit is scored by where it actually lands, and clean shots pay the most.

Real ballistics: bullets travel and drop, so at long range you read the distance and hold over.

X-ray shot replays follow the bullet through the body, so you see exactly why a shot was clean.

Hold your breath to steady the scope, and trigger slow motion to thread a shot through a bolting herd.

Deer, boar, wolves, eagles, lions, giraffes, elephants and more.

Passive animals graze and flee when startled, while predators charge straight at you. Drop them before they reach you.

120 levels across 12 acts: grasslands, forests, deserts, canyons and mountain peaks.

Weather and conditions change visibility on every hunt, from first light to fog and dusk.

More ways to hunt: Endless waves, a Daily hunt that's the same for everyone, Gauntlet runs (ten waves, a new species in each, three strikes and you're out) and Clay shooting with the Field Pump 12.

Chain clean hits into streaks, earn medals and 3-star ratings, and complete weekly contracts at the lodge.

Unlock 8 scoped rifles and spend XP on hunter upgrades all the way to Master Hunter. 39 Steam Achievements to hunt down.
