About this game
What does it mean to remain human in a world built on cruelty?
If connection means loss…
…Is it safer not to care?

Scarlet Hunt is a story-driven visual novel blending High-stakes Survival, Dark Romance, and Psychological Drama, with a sprinkling of Thriller, Supernatural Mystery, and Horror.
In a dystopian world ruled by vampire lords, an opportunity arises. Participate in a deadly hunt for a chance at freedom... *if* you can outrun your hunters. Will you finally break your chains - or be dragged into the abyss?
Setting
In a land conquered by vampires, the last bastion of humanity remains. However, the continued independence of the kingdom came at a price - a bloody one. Each year, selected human slaves are forced to participate in a gruesome hunt for a chance to earn back their lives.
You
Take on the role of a young slave in a mining colony of the human kingdom. Years of brutal labor and oppression have burnt the mark of resentment deep into your heart. Suddenly, an opportunity arises - some say a curse, some say a blessing. Most say a death sentence. You won't change the world, but perhaps you can challenge your fate.
