About this game
PALE HUNT is an open-world monster hunting simulator with horror elements. An ordinary trip ended with you stranded in the night taiga—unarmed and unprepared. To see the sunrise, you must track down and kill the terrifying creatures that are already hunting you. Explore, scavenge for gear, and find ways to deal with your enemies.
EXPLORE THE OPEN WORLD
A vast area of wild forest lies before you. You are free to go anywhere: explore dense thickets, make your way through overgrowth to abandoned hunting cabins, and search for tracks on old tourist routes. But remember: the deeper you go into the forest, the less chance you have of returning.
HUNT
Enemies are faster and stronger than you, so direct confrontation is not in your best interest. To survive, you must think like a hunter. Use your hearing to detect movement in the bushes. Peer into the darkness beneath the trees and learn the monsters' habits. Use your weapons and gear, investigate the area, and perform rituals to find your target.
SURVIVE
Your weapons are old and clunky, so every shot must be deliberate. You will have to scavenge for gear to increase your survival chances in this dangerous forest. Use your skills and the environment, try solving problems in different ways, and look for shortcuts to gain an advantage over the enemy.
KEY FEATURES:
Open World. A large forest area available for free exploration: from dense thickets and wide fields to abandoned hunting cabins and tourist trails.
Non-linear Gameplay. The game does not hold your hand. There are multiple ways to solve the same problems—rely only on yourself.
Progression. Scavenge for weapons and supplies, use the skill system and environment to improve your survival chances.
Hunting. Enemies are faster and stronger than you. Use hearing, observation, and rituals to detect the enemy before they detect you.
Difficulty. Your weapons are old and clunky. Direct confrontation often leads to death.
Atmosphere. Immerse yourself in the mysticism, horror, and oppressive loneliness of the night forest.
