About this game
BULLET - TIME EFFECT:
Aim, pull the trigger and follow the bullet's journey moment by moment!
Thanks to the bullet tracking effect in our game, you will be able to track the power and impact of each shot in detail. Take your hunting experience to the next level by tracking every bullet as it reaches the target, whether it's in vast woodlands or open fields.
This feature makes every moment more strategic and exciting. Now it's all up to your sniping skills to hit the target!
CRAFT SYSTEM:
Not only will you hunt the prey, but you'll also process it into valuable resources!
Not only will you get meat from the animals you hunt, but you'll also be able to use the craft system to collect leather and other materials. You can set up camp and build a fire to cook the meat you've gathered, and test your survival skills by preparing your own food.
But the hunt is only the beginning! With the materials you gather, you can craft new equipment, upgrade your weapons or strengthen your camp. You can also chop wood for valuable resources to trade and craft new items with craft mechanics.
Nature offers everything you need to survive - it's just a matter of knowing how to use it!
EAGLE TRACKING SYSTEM:
Your faithful friend, your talismanic eagle, will be your greatest helper during your hunting adventure!
This mysterious and powerful eagle will scour the skies to track prey and guide you. When you lose your way or danger approaches, he will always be by your side.
His keen eyes will make spotting prey and strategizing much easier. This unique bond with your eagle will unite your hunting not only with skill, but also with intuition and the power of nature.
ENERGY DRINK - THE MECHANICS OF SLEEP:
Using the right supplements is just as important as resting to survive!
At certain times, your character can replenish their energy by sleeping or consuming energy drinks. But you have to be careful; nature becomes more dangerous when night falls. Sleeping and consuming energy drinks require you to make strategic decisions about how to spend the night.
If you choose to go without sleep, energy drinks can keep you going, but this will strain your immunity in the long run. If you get sick or injured, antibiotics will be one of the most important resources to keep you alive.
SHOOTING RANGE:
Thanks to the shooting range system exclusive to our game, you can test and improve your shooting skills. Equipped with different distances and targets, it's the ideal environment to hone your aiming skills. Master the range with sharp reflexes and the right strategies and get ready for the real hunting adventure!
TRADE MECHANICS:
You can earn income from hunting by selling resources such as meat, skins and bones to traders who open at certain times. Trading is one of the most important ways to increase your chances of survival. With the money you earn, you can buy the equipment that the trader offers and make the hunting and survival process more efficient. However, traders will not always be open, so you need to time your trades well and use your resources strategically.

Follow the Blood | A New Tracking Mechanic
Hunting is not always about finding your target at first sight.In The Lost Hunter, a wounded animal will leave behind a trail of blood as it tries to escape. Every drop tells a story - and if you're patient enough, you may be able to follow it.Track Your PreyWhen an animal is wounded, it won't simply disappear into the wilderness.As it flees, it can leave bloody footprints and blood drops along its path. These traces create a visible trail that can help you determine where the animal escaped and continue the hunt.But don't expect the trail to be perfectly obvious.The further you follow the wounded animal, the more carefully you'll need to observe the environment. Blood on the ground, bloody footprints, and the direction of the trail can all give you clues about your prey's movements.The Forest RemembersThe wilderness is full of distractions.Dense vegetation, rocks, terrain, and changing light can make tracking a wounded animal challenging. You'll need to slow down, look closely, and read the signs left behind.Sometimes the trail will lead you directly to your prey.Sometimes… it will disappear.And sometimes, following the wrong clue could take you deep into the forest.Hunt. Track. Survive.This new mechanic adds another layer to hunting in The Lost Hunter.A successful shot is no longer necessarily the end of the hunt - it can be the beginning of a tracking sequence.Spot the blood. Follow the footprints. Find your prey.The forest is watching.More hunting and survival improvements are coming as we continue developing The Lost Hunter.Read full article on Community Announcements (BlackTab Games)AnnouncementsOfficial

DevLog #10 - Animals Harvesting & Resources
Hello hunters,Today, we want to share details about a new system we’re adding to The Lost Hunter: Animal Harvesting.Hunting is now more than just making the kill. With this new feature, every animal you take down needs to be physically processed by skinning and gutting it to get the resources you need to survive.What is Animal Harvesting?You can no longer just walk over a downed animal to pick up loot instantly. Now, you need to interact with the carcass and field-dress your prey. This hands-on method means you have to take time to skin and butcher each animal to get your materials.When you process the carcass, you’ll get several important resources:Meat: Crucial for managing your hunger and sustaining energy.Bones: Used for crafting basic tools and weapons.Pelts & Organic Materials: Required for crafting clothing, armor, and advanced gear.Each animal gives you different types and amounts of materials, so you’ll want to hunt certain wildlife depending on what you need most.Gameplay ImpactAdding Animal Harvesting changes how the game plays:Immersive Pacing: Taking time to skin and process animals makes each hunt feel more real and satisfying.Strategic Risk: Since harvesting takes time, you’ll need to make sure the area is safe before you start field-dressing your kill.Resource Efficiency: This system encourages you to make the most of every hunt and use every part of the animal.We want the survival experience to feel real, challenging, and rewarding.What’s Next?We’re still working on the Animal Harvesting system. In future updates, we plan to add:A wider variety of animal types with unique resource yields.Deeper and more complex crafting trees.Enhanced survival mechanics are tied to the materials you gather.We really value your feedback, so please let us know what you think!See you next time in the devlog!- The Lost Hunter Development TeamRead full article on Community Announcements (BlackTab Games)AnnouncementsOfficial
