Descent of the Hunted challenges you to decide the terrifying fate of your victim through choices that shape the beast's nature. Will it be a stealthy hunter or a relentless predator?
About this game
Inspired by transgressive horror like The Babadook and The Lighthouse and taking narrative cues from story-driven classics like Disco Elysium, Descent of the Hunted explores coping with trauma in our modern world of isolation and electronic pacifiers. How little one must do to appear to be managing. How anonymous our suffering. In such an environment, does it really matter if the monsters are outside our minds or within?
CONTENT NOTES: The horror content is unnerving but not gory or startling and a play through of a single route takes about an hour and a half. There are three routes and four endings to explore, plus achievements for different play styles.

Descent of the Hunted to release on 2/23/24 as part of the Women's Day sale
Hello! The QA phase (in preparation for release) for Descent of the Hunted is well underway, so I'm right on track. This game has been an interesting departure from Veil of Dust (our previous game) in that it focuses 100% on story. Since that's what we consistently heard was the favorite element of VoD, I think it makes a lot of sense to do a story game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44722529/13497de47669dc14beb658e8ad9770c59dec7614.png The other obvious difference is the genre, although I think horror and VN fans will be a little more primed for the seriousness of the themes than Farm Sim audiences might have been, lol. In any case, I have had my hands full with our new baby and haven't done any promotion, so I hope this game manages to reach players despite that. If you liked VoD, Wishlist Descent of the Hunted, then purchase and review it as close to the release as possible! Reviews help Steam recognize new games as legit. Both Veil of Dust and Descent of the Hunted will be part of the Women's Day Sale coming up at the end of the month. Each highlight and explore different women's experiences in storylines straight from the quill of a female writer, as it were, so I'm confident they'll be great additions. My co-creator for Veil of Dust has also noticed that there's something fundamentally different about our female character designs, noting that they've been totally free of pressures external to the female creator's intentions. That's something special you can only get from tiny, independent teams. Thanks for reading! -ElleRead full article on Community Announcements (calamitybaygames)
